Insight II (Roland MC505)

Needed a tune quick!
.
While I used to perform this live in 2000-2001, never actually sequenced it for recording.  So I did a live take, tidied a few parts up but left it largely intact as is.  Mixed in the box (MC505!) out of the master out with a replacement kick track in post to boost things up a bit.  Otherwise this is 100% Groovebox 505 and a single (very soft) additional drum loop playing on occasion.  This is basically me as a teenager :-P  Can't believe I wrote this track 16 years ago and never got around to recording it... with around 50 others in this box I rekon?!  Many of them are currupted tho as the 505 has a bug where it can loose a bunch of custom instruments settings in one hit.  One day I might fix some more.

My fav part is actually the ending.  About 5:50 onward I pull the filter on the bass back... and I instantly remember thinking "ahhhhh!  should have done this from the start!".  That's the adventure of a ready-mixed live input :-P  No going back :-o

This seem to be an increadible fun toy. Good sounding too.

cool

Great classic sound, looks like a lot of fun to play with

Awesome banging track, and yes...that filter on the bass seals the deal.

I could def dance to this all night :3
