picoBeat 1 (picotracker beta)
By cTrix on February 11, 2024 6:48 pm
I've been lucky enough to pick up a prototype picoTracker in the past week or so. This is my first test track on it. Using old samples I've had for eons. We've unofficially dubbed the unit the "M7". It's surprisingly fun and easy to use - but does currently wig out if you hit more than 6 notes of poly!! So it's still very much beta - I think I lost this tune about 3 or 4 times during making iterations of it due to an SD card access bug (now fixed!). But with each day it gets a few tweaks to make it more stable.
Recorded through the M8 (lol) into laptop, mastered without headphones using laptop speakers at 5:20am because I went out and saw JD beck and DOMi tonight then sank a bunch of beers with some friends... and that was after a pretty hectic BBQ session earlier on! I just happen to roll over at 5am and remember I had weekly beats written but to still record. Plus it's hot AF... even at 6am - I've literally opened all the windows to get some airflow though the house before I bolt everything shut and try and get sleep before it heats up massively! (no AC)
