Rings. Electus. Sample Drum.

It's been awhile since I've used the Sample Drum. Good fun.

I'm having lots of fun with the BIA and even messed around with some different firmwares. However, once I got into this rhythm, I knew this was going to be the track for this week.

After awhile, the breaks just fade away and Rings comes to the front.

It feels, reflective. As usual, plenty left on the cutting room floor for coming weeks.

Everything is from one recording in my eurorack setup. Cut up in Ableton, with some post processing in Ableton to glue everything together.

My biggest challenge this year is cutting things down enough to fit into the 16mb limit.

Good times.

thanks! I've just realised the compression made the appearance of the ambiance at the start a bit too aggressive, over all though, I'm happy with how this one turned out.

A damn fine track, reminds me of Venetian Snare's more ambient work, I really like it.  I admit to being really new to all this but you keep surprising me with the sounds you are able to get out of Eurorack, to the point at the end I swear I heard the ocean

I'll take a Venetian Snares comparison any day of the week. Thank you!

That ocean sound is most likely the Electus Versio sending feedback into itself while using the distortion option. It and Desmodus Versio have a feedback knob which depending on what you send it, can yield interesting results. So feedback and distortion is apparently the ocean.

Which I guess makes sense given how chaotic the ocean can be with making noise.
