50 Minutes Live Rephazer Jam/Set (Elektron Octatrack & Analog Four)

Published on Aug 31, 2016 Rephazer

"The set starts with some minimal melodic dream house stuff, goes into more abstract techno and finally into some trance..It consists of previous made/posted Rephazer tracks in a (4 on the floor) context which I hope you'll enjoy. I had a lot of fun making and recording this, but since I recorded this in one go so some mistakes are to be expected (as usual) also the audio/video quality is probably not the best that I've posted, but I had to make some concessions with a long set like this.

Tracklist:

1. Dreams (00:03)
2. B-Side (05:18)
3. Looking Forward (09:55)
4. Minimal Movement (14:01)
5. Battle For Harmony (19:16)
6. The Sky Was Pink - Nathan Fake Cover (23:46)
7. The Chase (28:24)
8. Crazy Dutch Bastard - Co written by Jas van Houten (32:23)
9. Short Circuit (37:08)
10. Heart & Soul (42:08)
11. Life Goes On (47:08)

Some technical details for the ones interested..

Octatrack:

Track 1 = Bassdrum
Track 2 = Top Beats and Percussion
Track 3 = Melody
Track 4 = Bassline (Additional)
Track 5 = Melody 2 (Additional)
Track 6 = Atmospheric/FX
Track 7 = Master Recorder for transitions
Track 8 = Master Track

Using 6 scenes for breaks/drops/filters and 2 scenes for transitioning between songs.

Track 7 is constantly recording the main output into the recording buffer of the Octatrack using the Quick Record Function...Sort of Tarekith Transition Trick so thanks to him for the idea! (Check his YT)

Analog Four:

Audio goes into the Octatrack and is Directly send/monitored to the Master Track 8.

Track 1: Hihats and Electronic Percussion
Track 2: Atmospheric Pads 1
Track 3: Atmospheric Pads 2
Track 4: Main Bassline

Also thanks to the Teenage Engineering OP-1 and Mode Machines vPed for being good 'sample food' for the Octatrack ;)"

Electribe & Gadget Transition Test

Published on Jan 4, 2015 tarekith

iTunes: KORG Gadget - KORG INC.
Korg Electribe2s on eBay

"Just trying out a combination of the new electribe and an iPad Air2 running Gadget as a possible future live set up for me. This is my first go at performing any sort of transition between songs using the two. The electribe was providing sync and transport control to the iPad via a CCK, audio from the iPad was run back into the electribe set to Audio Thru mode.

The audio was recorded straight from the output of the electribe, via Mogami cables to a Lynx Hilo A/D/A, and then recorded as 24bit/44.1kHz wav file in Ableton Live 9. Warping turned off.

Hopefully that gives you a sense of what the new electribe really sounds like."

Electribe 012 Processing the Monotribe

Published on Mar 3, 2016 Computing.Sound

"Thanks to tarekith for the idea to do parallel processing with the Electribe 2.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KF9DK... [featured here in order]

Check out his videos, they're really good and in-depth.

The Korg Monotribe is routed into the Audio-Input of the Electribe 2.
On the first eight pads OSC TYPE is set to "409 Audio In".

Each part is filtered. 1 by a low-pass filter, 2-7 by a band-pass and 8 by a high-pass. These filters are modulated by mod type 67 Random.
Additionally the IFX is on and set to 24 Short Delay.

On the master I used 01 Mod Delay.

Recorded this with my phone and a Zoom H-5."
