New gear has arrived in the Untz studios. The (in)famous Roland TB-303 Computer Controlled Bass Line synth. It’s a bit weird to program, but all the more fun because of it (an excellent short & sweet howto for programming a TB-303 is on youtube here if you ever wondered how the thing works). Below is a recording of my first simple jam session, of course accompanied by the TR-909 drum box. I love odd-note acid patterns. Enjoy :)
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.
Time to put up the first music preview. This track was made back in 2002 together with Rvaggelen in one sitting. I guess this would best be described as tech house… After the long intro there are some sweet vocodered vocals from the ever wonderful Tori Amos.
