Modular Beat Making on The B-Roll

"I set the rotating clock divider as the heart of the rhythm. As I recorded my beat I tried to switch up small variations such as muting a single drum or adjusting the decay of the snare. When I felt I recorded all of the variations I would switch patch cables on either the rotating clock divider or the envelope generators creating new beats."

via dyLAB:

"Lets make some acid

Each month one of the group members submits a tb303 pattern for everyone to load into their 303, x0xb0x's or soft synths to make some acid

The December Acid Pattern is from Melbourne's Honeysmack
In Christmas We Trust by Honeysmack by DyLABs You can grab the pattern data from here The pattern can then be programmed into your tb303 or x0x box to create a new track. The pattern could be programmed into your vst such as ABL or Phoscoyn to create a new track. Transcribe the pattern to midi and send it to your favourite synth to create a new track. Grab the audio file and rework the audio into a new track. Then post your finished track or jam into the acid pattern group You can grab this empty pattern sheet from here enjoy"
