Short Ambient Synthesizer Patch With Cellular Automata Visuals
Hey guys. Here's a fun patch I wanted to share.
I recently traded out my sample based modules for a few more Joranalogue things. Namely the Filter 8, Generate 3, and Select 2. These might literally be the most inspiring modules I have ever put in my system. Why didn't you guys tell me how crazy their stuff is??
I also wanted to pair this with some more Lenia videos I cooked up. I recently gave a talk on CA and felt like the world needed more simulations of this stuff out there.
Thanks for tuning in!

Reaktor 6 Blocks // Breakbeat Jam
Просмотров 1,1 тыс.Год назад
Here I use Native Instruments, Reaktor 6 Blocks to create a funky breakbeat, garage type thing. All of the audio is coming straight from Reaktor, although I did send the audio into FL Studio for a little bit of final compression. I'm using the System Discrete pack I've been working on, which you can try for yourself here: www.native-instruments.com/en/reaktor-community/reaktor-user-library/entr...

techno on the floor in miami
Просмотров 2,6 тыс.2 года назад
I recently moved into an apartment in Miami FL with my girlfriend since I'll be attending UM this fall. The only furniture we have are a couple folding chairs and a wobbly decoration table we use to eat on, so until we get a desk, it looks like I'm making music on the floor lol. This is the first little jam in the apartment- just a cute dub techno / ambient thing. Thanks for tuning in everyone....

      Funny enough I ended up selling the behringer neutron and keeping the Minibrute 2S. The neutron has more 'character' to its sound, but the Minibrute has so much in terms of utility / sequencing capabilities that make it much more worth it in my opinion

    You’ve spent lots of time building cool stuff in reaktor for sure. I remember starting to get into that back around 2009, and then my G5 took a crap and had to get a new hard drive and native instruments wouldn’t allow me to install because it kept saying new hardware detected. I followed everything they showed me to do and well unsuccessfully. Until I got a brand new MacBook Pro and the contemporary software. Time went by and never got back into reaktor. Dumb shit getting in the way of progress!

    Crazy damn good track! Absolutely resonates with my mood as for now. I've sabotaged my job listening to it ))) I'm a hobbits bass player with ambitions to make local performances. As good drummers are always scarce I often practice with drum playbacks or metronome. It started to bore me quiet a lot so I decided to buy Drumbrute Impact. I felt in love immediately because of thick warm analogue tone. Also I have an ability to drive rythm while playing. And today is another Bingo. I've heard Drumbrute and minibrute combined ❤. Now I know, how my performance will look like. I can start as solo artist with robust sound core and later invite real drummer and guitarist to the project. I was sceptical for all this synth stuff until now. It's like an addiction )) Thank you for the inspirational track. +1 sub
