Bigkik - Model Wave 1 (Elektron Model:Samples)

video upload by bigkik

"I got recently a 2nd hand Model:Samples and really enjoy it.

For this track, I was deeply inspired by one of my favorite artist : 'The Toxic Avenger' and especially his latest track 'Acid Machine'. I especially loved its bassline.

Again i only used the provided sounds but played extensively with the sequencer, the conditional trigs and the lfo.

I hope you will enjoy it as much as I did composing it !"

DVRST - Close Eyes (Elektron Model:Samples instrumental cover)

"Despite its 64 steps limit, you are not stuck with 4 bars by adjusting the "duration" of each step a little bit like the Roland J-6 sequencer. And with the conditional trigs, you can easily program variations in a single pattern.

I only used the samples provided in the unit."

Kebu - Perplexagon part 1 (Novation Circuit OG remix)

video upload by bigkik

"Hello,

I discovered the Perplexagon album from Kebu a few weeks ago and instantly got hypnotized by those synthesizers sounds, so I could not resist giving it a try.

I actually picked also a loop from 'Perplexagon part 4' for the intro.

Circuit Wave (Novation Circuit OG)

"Just got a 2nd hand Novation Circuit OG before the week-end ! Thanks again to BBougre for this fair deal ! (His bandcamp : https://bbougre.bandcamp.com/)

As expected, it is really easy to work with and imho a great tool for children as a first electronic instrument. Unfortunately it is no longer produced but you can still find 2nd hand units.

About the track : i used 4 'sessions' in total to switch between the different parts, as I usually do with the "scenes" in the MC-101. For those who don't know this unit you get 2 synth tracks with 6 voice polyphony each and 4 drum tracks. Each "sessions" can have up to 8 patterns of 1 bar for each of the 6 tracks."
