APHEX TWIN - Pulsewidth COVER (Elektron Digitakt2, Roland SH01a, Prophet REV2)


video upload by nicola neeco

"Recreating Aphex Twin’s “Pulsewidth” using modern hardware synths: the Elektron Digitakt II, Roland SH-01A, and Sequential Prophet Rev2.

This is my cover version of one of the most iconic tracks from Selected Ambient Works 85–92, carefully crafted to capture its hypnotic pulse and raw analog character.

To rebuild the drum section true to the original, I used Roland R-8 drum samples (the same machine Aphex Twin used) loaded into the Digitakt II, and programmed its sequencer for the rhythmic patterns.
And for the iconic melody the same sample Aphex used: the first seconds of the track Butterfly Holocaust by Neutron 9000."
