Roland TR-909 & Elektron A4 techno

Published on Feb 24, 2013 dylannau·19 videos

"TR-909 through the Kaoss pad into the Elektron A4. Kick drum is ran seperate into A4 . Tr. 1 is the 909, Tr4 is the kick on the 909. Tr 2, 3 are A4 synth sounds. Old school kinda acid style track, nothing too awesome IMHO but had to get something with the new 909 I got. Trying to change things up with the performance knobs which are really cool, but take some time to set up. Thinking hard about NOT keeping the 909. It's cool and all, but kind of more a museum piece maybe?"

As an ableton certified trainer, Ableton provided me a Push controller very early before the official release and I THANK THEM HERE FOR THAT !
Obviously, I’m reporting them bugs, stuff I figure out with it.

four tape recorder techniques for minimal techno: looping, delay, reverse delay and saturation

Published on Feb 25, 2013 wouter van Veldhoven·11 videos

"four tape recorder techniques for minimal techno:
1) a tape loop system (1 recorder, top right)
2) long delay (2 recorders: top left and middle right)
3) reverse delay (bottom middle)
4) tape feedback/tape saturation on system 1, 2 and 3

The tascam 8 track is not doing anything here.. except being a rather expensive table for two other recorders,

btw. the video in the second part doesn't really match the music, the camera fell so I couldn't use the original.. I wasn't doing all that much except for letting the long tape delay saturate on itself for a very very long time..."
