Acid chill hip hop. Is this what people mean by "Liquid bass"? I used the Polyend Tracker to "scratch" by flip-reversing and playing with the pitch of the samples. I produced this over a busy stay with my in-laws with the kids going crazy in the background. Inside my headphones though everything was calm!

Why Samplers Scare Me (story time!)

Many years ago, my mate Josh got Gil (GMCFOSHO) to draw me a birthday picture, it was very special, so today I got inspired by the drumbeat to the legendary "Rifle Burs". However I made it with an RD-9 instead of a gunshot and changed the pattern a bit, so it's not the hardest possible beat on my version. Made on Christmas Day to sweat out the food coma.

    I just bought a brains… hadn’t arrived yet… can you explain how you externally get the module to shift oscillator voices? Is this done with control voltage ? Can you describe your patch? Loved the video, sounds and demo… liked and subscribed

    • @Gavddotcodotuk
      @Gavddotcodotuk Месяц назад

      sure thing! You'll love the Brains! The Brains has a CV input "model" that selects the voice. It doesn't switch between banks, so it stays in the bank you've selected. I found it a little unstable/imprecise; sometimes a certain voltage would give voice 4, sometimes voice 5 (for example). That unpredictabiliy manifests more on my video "Beatbrains" ruclips.net/video/YRD240xEoII/видео.html where I try to switch between the drum voices (snare, hat, FM, kick) and sometimes it would pick an unexpected voice. Perhaps if I tuned the CV more precisely, it would be more consistent. The patch in this demo is an Oberkorn analog sequencer which has 3 lanes of voltages and 2 gates per step. I'm triggering the Brains' built-in LPG (low pass gate) rather than using an external VCA+envelope from one of the gates. I'm using the 3 voltage lanes to set 1) model (voice) 2) v/oct (pitch) and 3) the morph. Enjoy your Brains! It's a great module

I then bought some additional arms to mount more gear on it. It's a standard tubing size (1 1/4 inch or something?) so there's a lot of stuff that can mount on it.
