HSTR is for Hypnotic Saturated Techno #RandomLoop

Done in under an hour, because I have had too little time to make anything lately. It's my first hour with the #GroundControl sequencer from #Endorphines, I'm in training for a potential live gig in the summer. It's growing on me :)

Bass is coming from the #sv1b through #tanh3 for saturation, drums are from the #QueenOfPentacles and the lead theme is #Beads through #RuinaVersio for grit. Everything is sequenced by #GroundControl and performed live.

Have a listen!

(I'm also giving a try to posting in mp3, instead of opus, in the hope that more people will be able to play it from the browser directly)

After some re-shuffling of my #eurorack case, I think it's easier now to come up with interesting musical patches.

Here's an example #RandomLoop from today: it's an arpeggiated call-response. The main voice is a pinged and nearly self-oscillating #Filter8, recorded to #DistingEX. It's played arpeggiated and its ouptput is split in two paths, both meeting at a #Select2. The first path goes directly to the #Select2, the second path is processed by #Magneto, with a send/return through #tanh3. The output of the #Select2 then goes through #FXAid for some light reverb, and then out.

I really like the symmetry, musicality and structure emanating from this construction. I love that it sounds intentional :)

Have a great rest of the day everyone.
