the audio dump - sep7em // Analog Four mk2 + Nina

video upload by the audio dump

"New to the studio is a Melbourne Instruments Nina. The Analog Four mk2 is still playing the central role, but the Nina is contributing 2 patches to the music here.

This was music that came to me rather serendipitously, so while not typical of what I would post here, I did want to share it despite it maybe not being as accessible as other posts. Odd meter + fairly niche gear + no real drum track will limit itself with who ends up listening. But if you're someone who does listen and enjoy it, thank you.

Melbourne Instruments Nina | First Patches

"First few patches with the Nina - No external effects."

Melbourne Instruments Nina Round-Robin Experiment #1

video upload by Laboratory 0

"How close can the Nina get to the Vermona Perfourmer? Distributing MIDI notes evenly across three layers on the Nina, each with slight variations in filter and envelope settings. The track, originally made with the Perfourmer (ID: Samuel Yang - Skyward Bound), is now played on the Nina, and I’m amazed by how closely it replicates the original, with its round-robin arps.

Arps coming from Nina, everything else was pre-recorded / taken from the original track."

1 Pattern - 8 Kits - Melbourne Instruments Nina

video upload by Modern Fate

"I'm sending the same pattern to eight different kits that I programmed on the Melbourne Instruments Nina. Pattern information is sent via MIDI from Ableton, to four different channels. Each kit that I load on the Nina consists of four parts respectively. Basic mastering applied, but sounds from these Nina kits only."
