#BURG1K session 4 - #volca #ehx720 #ms70cdr - this time a bit more ambient and laid back. I wanted to showcase how a looper can be used by just creating a little simple loop to glue together the spaces and silence in a more ambient track.

The looper has a really short simple three note melody structure recorded with the vBass.

The Volca Bass (and the looper) has in the ms70 a fifth / ICE delay algorithm which i think is based on one of the strymon timeline sounds. It is excellent for cheating a bit, e.g creating chord like structures with single note melodies.

Volca Keys does two parts, intro solo sounds plus a sequence in the second half of the track synched with the vBass.

The signal is a little hot at times, still mixing in the headphones so apologies for that :)

BoOoM!
