Chillin' with synths (in this economy) | Octatrack & Analog Four

video upload by Mamotreco

"A rough weekend synth track made on the fly with the Elektron Octatrack sampler and Analog Four synth while vocals are processed by Ableton Vocoder. The Octatrack is sending sync and clock to the Analog Four. I'm muting and unmuting parts on the Analog Four to create the semblance of a musical arrangement.

The bumping beats of the Octatrack provide a foundation for the track. The Analog Four is using all four voices here for the different melodic layers that are being brought in and taken out based on how dense I want the synth arrangement to be.

Angry Stereo – A gritty and stereo-lizing fx that makes the vocal sound bigger than your speakers.
Fever Dream – A fast-paced distorted panning movement to disorient any vocal.
Waterpipe – A feedback-heavy metallic-sounding echo with a short delay time.
Angry Radio – A nostalgic sound that resembles old-school radio-filtered distortion.
