Congratulations!  Impressive work!  Looking forward to hearing it!

Thanks man, although is just the case and the power supply that are DIY. Most modules are still commercial.. But I'm working on some stuff

You and me both!  Now that I have access to it...I'd like to do more.

use my recently learnt Chuck skills

Badass!  Looking forward to hearing it. During the last year, I've gotten a bit into Tidal, so that may make an appearance this year.

Maybe more sharing between us (collabs, samples, source code...)

I'd be interested!

You could count on it, Maurice. Hope we share code and algorithms... Tidal sounds pretty interesting for live coding, by the way...

My WB 2k12 was done entirely on the OP-1. It featured heavily in 2k14 too but I added some PD stuff and modular. This year (and last), I am now a "registered composer" at Elektronmusikstudio in Stockholm so I'll be using the Serge and Buchla modulars there from time to time. But there are countless other experiments to be carried out too...most likely many will be featuring the device I have invented (with friends) in my day job...automat.

I remember all those "tape" effects on your OP-1's tracks. Very eager to hear what you get on those modulars.

Impressive work, the Automat. Will it be open source hardware or a public API instead?

Klystrack is free AND open source (an AHX style tracker)

Sunvox is free for all desktop platforms (a buzz style tracker)

I forgot about SunVox, which is also available (paid app) on iOS (and Android, I think)...

Did u tried it on a PDA, back in the day?

I spent 2015 polishing some WB'14 mixes (my Soundcloud lives still in 2014!), rearranging my studio, developing my skills in Chuck musical programming language and learning some Reaktor also.

I built myself a small modular setup and made my first steps in hardware design (still choosing an oscilloscope to buy...). Improved my workflow and got back to some old-school hardware samplers, which I used to create some soundbanks for 2016.

I've got some tracks ready for an EP, my first Bandcamp release: some ambient/drone/berlin-school stuff a little bit far from my usual Boom Bap/Hiphop-esque stuff. Got back to Blender and Processing so I can match the artwork you guys put in your releases.

And, also very important, I kept track of some of my favourite WeeklyBeaters smile

... something i also want to do in 2016 is maybe hopefully listen and respond to more of my peers submissions :X ...

I think that's the key. When I did my first WB back in 2012 I kept it all to myself, with almost no feedback and hardly ever listening to other people's music. When I got back in 2014 I started feeling this more like a community and less like "homework". Truth is I produced some music in 2015, but missed all the great musicians that were a true inspiration throught 2014.

As a personal goal: I want to improve my Reaktor skills, finally learn some Max For Live, use my recently learnt Chuck skills and finally get to use Maschine and Arturia SparkLE.

I've collected some new gear and got rid of some other hardware. I built a simple modular synth. Now I want to put all my software to good use so I could feel I'm getting the most of my current setup.

I think I'll be very interesting to hear other people's work this year. Maybe more sharing between us (collabs, samples, source code...)

These are my 2 cents, Trash80:

- Milkytracker, a contemporary Fast Tracker II clone available for all major platforms (win,mac,linux... and Android!). It supports the old Amiga MOD format, Impulse Tracker's IT and XM. It's a little bit limited compared to modern things like Renoise (which is excellent and quite affordable, but propietary).

- LittleGPTracker: another tracker with an interface almost identical to LSDJ, but handles WAV samples and decent polyphony. Along with all desktop systems, it runs in the PSP, the GP32, the Dingoo and some other handhelds.

- NitroTracker, a tracker for the Nintendo DS, with no effects, but extremely portable. I use it for sketching some songs on the go

That's what it comes to trackers.

P.S.: The Ardour open source DAW is worth checking, also, but I'm quite unexperienced on it. I've seen some people here using LMMS on Linux (kinda public FLStudio)

Will add some as soon as they come to mind

Cheers!

Hi Guys! Really missed you all

I started messing with my samplers yesterday, and the track is already cookin'

Technical Question:By any chance, is the old site still stored/archived anywhere, so I could back up some notes about some songs I made

... This really really really means a lot to me. I've been waiting for months!!!

Hello Mr. Harmonic. Last time I messed up was september the 22nd. I'm in a hotel, started submitting around 23:25 GMT my 6,5 megs. I've tried twice. Incomplete upload, stalled.

Could I please have and upload link (week 45)? I know I've abused your patience several times this year, man.

http://weeklybeats.com/music/upload?has … 3f04235914

Thanks man! Really appreciated!

It took another failed upload, then I went down to the hotel lobby and upload my thing a couple of meters from the main WiFi access point, still wearing the upper part of my pijamas.

Peace and thank you!
