New gear - or maybe old gear would be more appropriate :) - has been added to the UNTZ studios: the all time techno classic from Roland, the TR-909 drum machine. It integrates well into my Ableton Live setup, it being the master MIDI device. My findings so far: the shuffle setting creates a good groove, the sounds have much more punch than samples, and the 909 drums sit very well in the mix without much processing. Also, the real time instrument parameters are great to tweak the sound in a very direct way. It is true what they say, almost anything you do on the 909 sounds “techno” straight away.
Below is my first preview of a simple track using the TR-909.
