Taking Bandlab for a spin by making some trap beats.

I have new toys!

I purchased an Analogue Pocket a while ago and it was delivered last week. I had been eyeing it for a while, but the final push to actually buy it was watching some of Disposable Planet's videos here on weekly beats. I basically wanted to give LSDJ a try.

Well, in the meantime, ESS also released FMS, so after the Analogue Pocket was delivered last week, I decided to give that a try as well. And, oh boy, am I hooked.

So, after a week, I think I've got a hang of most of the basic features of FMS. I was playing around with a techno-ish track today and after creating some variations I thought to just record a little jam.

I recorded into Ableton Live and only used a utility device and a limiter to increase the levels. Other than that, I just wanted to maintain the raw FMS output, including its glorious noise floor.

Hey, the result ain't brilliant, but I still think it is pretty cool. It also is a nice break from all the Tidal Cycles stuff I've been doing the last weeks.

It also made me think I should try making a tune in OPL Studio one of these weeks.

This will be my final WeeklyBeats track for a while as I learn FL Studio so I can make actually good stuff. Everything is played live in one sitting.

I made it through an arpeggiated keyboard and just spammed notes in a way that sounds somewhat decent. I think it gets better as you go on.

Anyways, I hope you enjoy.

This one turned out a bit... unruly. :) I leaned into it being a bit loud and fuzzy.

As with "Wolf & Goat No. 1" this track features the raw analog drum sounds of the Akai Rhythm Wolf paired with distorted (DS-1X) 303 bass (the "goat.") I did a few things differently this time: I used the bass instrument from the Rhythm Wolf (square wave), I heavily applied "howl" distortion, and every part is MIDI sequenced on a Polyend Tracker (although nothing was sampled into the Tracker and no audio from the Tracker was used.) I manually tweaked lots of parts while it was playing.

Everything was finished in Bitwig. The 303 part gets Arturia Tape-201 wildly modulated delay, I used a noise split on the Rhythm Wolf to attenuate some rogue frequencies (on the previous track I tried to surgically remove them with notch filters in EQ+), and I put a little bit of cozy reverb on the whole thing to make it slightly less dry. But mostly I'm just letting the Rhythm Wolf go nuts and do its thing here.

Hi everyone :)

With summer just around the corner, I felt like making something a little more laid-back.

The kind of track that makes you want to look out toward the horizon and just drift away for a few minutes.

Here’s my entry for this week. Hope you enjoy it! :)

Cheers

I was just kinda messing around, but I got to something I was really enjoying. I hope you like the vibe.
