gonna buy you a beer next time i see you so you can give me a run down on how to generate nice high end percussion stuff like this! i need a lesson in how to make thom yorke solo style clicky things

this is nice and percussive!

ah thanks!

It's pretty easy to put together tbh, all of the 'drums' in this are a couple of the nord's percussion oscillators, which are basically just a pitchable thump.. then I used a pitch envelope and audio rate LFO (also affected by same pitch envelope) so it's a kind of basic FM. all of the high percussion is just one of the perc oscillators (ie. monophonic) but the trigger for the pitch envelope is separated from the amp envelope trigger, so some hits get the tail end of the pitch envelope resulting in different pitches/timbres.

pretty easy to build in a modular environment but I can certainly show you how to do it in most softsynths.

Nice stuff... making me want to dust off my Micro Modular. I like the melodic parts the best, manages to be fairly emotive even though it's generative. Although I like both Autechre and this, I don't think it sounds much like Autechre, although it does have a similar kind of claustrophobic quality to, say, Cichlisuite.

Hahah

For a self playing generative track this is pretty cool, I'd love to see you mess with something like that live, maybe add additional drum machines or something to it.

Sweet

I've done this! It pairs nicely with the octatrack

It's a feature not a bug!

It'd probably sound really great with some live kit drumming as well. Or like breakbeat style stuff.

ooh good call.. a live nord modular + drumkit set would be mental

didn't you buy it because it sounded like mid-late 90s autechre

ahhh that's a fearsome setup hahah.  yeah definitely getting the late-90's IDM vibe - great hearing it evolve over several minutes!
