Acid Tracks in 5 mins

" A quick cover of Phuture's Acid Tracks. The original was around 120bpm and used a TR-707 . This quick cover is at 138bpm uses a highly modifed TR-606. I think my pattern is close but possibly missing an accent ;-) "

  1. Nice. I love the immediacy of acid style music. Always pretty instant gratification. Nice jam.

    However, I still challenge all the 303-ers to utilize more of it's facilities. We all seem to get stuck on tweaking the knobs against one revolving pattern. Up to four patterns can be chained in sequence on that thing, without going into song mode, and no one ever seems to take advantage of it.

    Not to mention the song programming facilities. If you're lucky enough to have a healthy 303 with a good memory you should get into programming multiple patterns in song mode and get creative with the patterns you chain. Rests are always cool to throw down in a pattern to break up the monotony and not all patterns have to be 16 steps long with a note on each step. Tie some notes together with drastic slides and get creative with the patterns.

    Of course if the style you're going after is the more trancy acid house then sure, one 16 note pattern with some knob tweaks is one of the signatures of the sound of that genre.
