Using the DB-01 for live dronescapes - Part 2: Deeper and Dirtier

video upload by Richard DeHove

"A much longer exploration of dronescapes on the DB-01. I find these long distorted dronescapes strangely therapeutic and relaxing. As I mention in the video it reminds me of the Lyra-8. That device I found more to be personal therapy than musical instrument, but is a fantastic way to relax and drift away.

Part 2 takes a different starting point: Multiple steps in a key to create smooshed chords. I could have explored this a bit more, but the idea is to restrict the playback key range, then to randomize the pitch, and get different chords. For more variety you could then transpose the entire thing.

The Death By Audio Rooms reverb is providing the required ambient blur and I keep it on the basic 'Room' reverb type. This video is hopefully both a useful collection of ideas for DB-01 dronescapes as well as being somewhat calming in its dirty dark ambient gloom.

Slow, jazzy improvisation (#jamuary2023 ) on EX5, MPC One

video upload by Floyd Steinberg

"Here's another #jamuary2023 contribution. My apologies for some unexpected notes, I guess that's the nature of ad-hoc-playing. ;-) This is one of the EX5's FDSP pianos at work here, which uses virtual pickups and stuff. Rest is the Fabric plugin on MPC One.
