Block Rockin' Beats/The Chemical Brothers (Circuit Tracks Version)

video upload by Guinan

"'Back with another one of those block rockin' beats.....'
I've been searching around for an ideal Chemical Brothers track to recreate on the Circuit Tracks when up popped one of my favourite channels, ‪@smallplatesmusic‬ with a video about this classic 1997 song off the album "Dig Your Own Hole'. I've loved the band since their 'Dust Brother'/Playstation 1 days and this mix of jazz, hip-hop and breakbeats blended with their signature synths is a true anthem. (plus check out another great band, 23 Skidoo's track 'Coup' for possible 'inpiration')

See the video here [below] for his fascinating deep dive into all of the samples used and the history behind them. Highly, highly recommend for any music fan...plus also some great Koala Sample App recreations too!

After commenting I was offered access to the Koala track shown in the video, and many of the samples in this recreation come from that version. Mark this up as my first collaboration on this channel! Huge thanks for the inspiration and help ‪@smallplatesmusic‬

What you hear was all recreated on a single Novation Circuit Tracks with the drum tracks used to sequence the various samples, augmented with synth lines to underpin the sound when needed. It was recorded straight from the audio outs into a Zoom L6 without any extra synths or effects.

I hope you enjoy this as much as I did making it and stay tuned!

More details for synth nerds.

BPM 109.
Synth 1 - sawtooth bass synth
Synth 2 - distorted PWM saw patch playing chords and stabs
Drum 1 - drum loops
Drum 2 - sequenced bass note samples
Drum 3 - vocal snatches and pitched gunshot(!) samples
Drum 4 - crash cymbal and 707 open and closed hihats"

Remaking "Block Rockin' Beats" on Koala Sampler

video upload by small plates music

"Back with another one of those..attempts to remake a dancefloor classic on my phone.

This early Chemical Brothers banger includes a lot of jazz, funk, soul and early hip-hop samples including Schoolly D’s raw intro, Wilton Felder’s (very technical...) bassline, and Bernard Purdie’s funky drum fills. I have a listen to the sample, tell you some interesting things I found out, then try to rebuild the track using Koala, showing you how it works (more or less).

Featuring nods to Grand Wizard Theodore, Afrika Islam, Adult Swim cartoons, and the Zulu Beat Show.

0:00-0:15 Intro - What are we doing here anyway?
0:23-1:10 Schoolly D "Back With Another One Of Those" vocal, Acqua Teen Hunger Force
1:10-1:45 The Crusaders bassline- Beastie Boys cover, every third 1/16th note, Wilton Felder's other credits
2:02-2:43 Using Koala for the bass and drums
2:43-4:07 Drums by Bernard Purdie- the sample machine
4:07- 5:20 "Hoooo!" - Early hip-hop artefacts, Grand Wizard Theodore
5:20-6:50 Afrika Islam on the Zulu Beats Show, waiting for MCs, 'We're about ready to rock steady'
6:50-7:36 "Breakin' 2: Electric Boogaloo", "Rocksteady" Aretha Franklin drummer
7:36-9:00 Koala workout, using the samples to recreate Block Rockin' Beats"

Ambient performance on Arturia Minifreak and Linnstrument

video upload by Fedir Tkachov Music

"A friend and colleague surprised me today by bringing his Minifreak to me to play for a week or so. I tried different engines and patch ideas, and eventually this simple idea emerged - I have the hold button on, and the cycling envelope opens up the filter, forming this beautiful fake arpeggio-sequence. On the Linnstrument side of things I use one of my own patches for alpha-beta version of OB-XF by Surge Synth team."

This Peak Patch is ALL Random

video upload by Saß

"Welcome to Crazy Random Patch Episode 2!
Ever feel stuck with an idea? Just twist all the knobs and press all the buttons!

In this episode, I made a patch on my Novation Peak, aptly titled "Robo Factory," reminiscent of what you might hear in a robotic car factory from a cyberpunk future, or maybe some weird magical mechanical beast from some dark fantasy dungeon (like the kind from RPGs where its fantasy but they have guns lol). Then, I made a very small beat featuring it to show that it can be used musically! I really hope you enjoy this kind of content, so please let me know if you do or don't! See you in the next video!

Born Slippy/Underworld (Circuit Tracks Instrumental)

video upload by Guinan

"This iconic tune (featured in the movie, ‘Trainspotting’) is another classic piece of techno from Underworld. This is a bit of a test if I could get anywhere near the sound using just the Circuit Tracks. The main iconic sound synth was apparently produced using a Waldorf Microwave which is a very different synth architecture than the Tracks.

This version was programmed and recorded straight from the Novation Circuit Tracks.

More details for synth nerds.
140BPM
Synth 1 – Pad sound using Digital Vocal waveforms 1 & 6. The original pad has a very sampled vocal tone from the wavetable used so I mixed in some modulated noise to try and get at least part of the same effect.
Synth 2 – percussive sawtooth chords with delay (apparently dotted 8ths on the original but it didn’t sound right so I’ve used 8th delay (preset 11)).
Drum 1- booming 909 techno bass drum.
Drum 2 – 909 hihats and open hihat.
Drum 3 – this might be contentious but ‘the Internet’ suggests Underworld used a loop from the sample CD ‘Best Service:Dance Mega Jungle Rave’. What you are hearing therefore is sample ‘140 25.wav’ from this set I found by searching online. Opinion suggests that even if it wasn’t from this CD both they and Underworld sampled it from the same source?
Drum 4 – this is reserved for the vocal samples – surprising how essential to the song they are!"

A Digital Dialogue: Novation Ultranova Meets Elektron Cycles

"Step into a sonic world where past meets present. The warm, digital embrace and lush pads of the Novation Ultranova create a foundation for the precise, geometric, and percussive sounds of the Elektron Model:Cycles. This video isn't a battle—it's a collaboration, showcasing how these two synths, with their seemingly opposite characters, come together to form an unexpected and powerful synergy."
