unearthed test track from a few years ago

@sean_ae at least some peole still posting beautiful stuff

[sean_ae@post.lurk.org]

@zweikreise yeah it's the same pipe sound, almost same drums as well on that bit

@sean_ae I'm so used to the live version of this material that hearing this is really screwing with my head. Everything's totally recontextualized. I feel like I'm hearing noises from later in the megaset too.

What's going on with that ambient coil-esque drone in the middle? It's so pretty.... was that made for this track specifically?

Side note love when you guys work with swing.

@nnirror esp useful for doing remixes

@Galarem yeah the middle and end bits were just following the thread in Live and seeing where it went

didn't have a plan really it just happened that way

@sean_ae also i cant not associate the scratch sound with the king's speech in katamari damacy

@sean_ae super funky 🤌

@sean_ae really love the snappy snare from 5:36-8:15ish - is that modalys? I just started trying to get it to work

@sean_ae Love it, thanks for sharing with us out here. With the rig modules, would you say that each of them holds various musical ideas (sounds, but also phrases and patterns) and that part of the larger music making process involves recombining ideas (current and previous) among them as new starting points? Sorry if that’s too abstract, but it’s an idea I keep rolling around in my head and wondering how much it plays in your process. You mentioned the term “dry technique” once in a message and I didn’t know what you meant, and interpreted it as “don’t repeat yourself” technique, like, maybe, avoid writing the same ideas over and over and rather save them, recall them, recombine them.

I wish you would teach a course! Ha

@sean_ae really beautiful, love that atmospheric section in the middle with the big chords coming in waves

[sean_ae@post.lurk.org]

@zinn actually idk, i changed a bunch of stuff in the rig since i did this

i'm glad you asked though cos i can prob fix that issue by storing the patch name instead of the number (where it appears in the folder - and that was always a daft way to do it cos i change folder contents too often. too quick and dirty for my own good sometimes)

@sean_ae @Lime I'm kinda surprised you got the send/receive pairs working. What I found was that using sends on devices on the same track was fine, but sending/receiving across tracks resulted in jitter/latency. I made a simple patch pair to demo. One to send midi, one to receive. I added the send/receive patches to the same track and only the receiver to a 2nd track. I recorded an 8th note midi clip ouput from each of those. Screenshots will clarify hopefully-

[sean_ae@post.lurk.org]

@chorist yeah i would say so, cos loads of them are doing more than you'd normally think of that type of module doing strictly (although it's a bit like how hardware synths might have some sequencing internally alongside whatever you're sending to them)

the way i do it is seq modules just do sequencing, synths do sequencing and synthesis, and fx do sequencing, synthesis and effect stuff

it gets more complex as you go down the chain basically, to the point where i can be doing whole tracks in one fx module (i do this cos my background is making one patch per track and i still like working that way sometimes cos it def has upsides)

i mean end of the day it's Max, and although i enjoy the rough formalism of hardware workflow i also like the weirder things you can do with hardware, and the near total connectivity you get in Max

[sean_ae@post.lurk.org]

@exitonly @Lime i haven't had any problems there, at least as far as one patch sending to several channels simultaneously it's as tight as doing it in Max

i'll test it further at some point, see if i can repro that

@sean_ae b sec at 5:37

[sean_ae@post.lurk.org]

@trainvids hey nice one, wicked

[zinn@zirk.us]

@nnirror @sean_ae to me it definitely reminds me of the reedy sound in the three tone section
