jazz and bass

initially, the thing that got me going on wb was the m8. I sold my model 01 in preparation for buying a model 02, but I've missed all of the batches so far. I've been struggling to get things down on Ableton, so I finally gave up and decided that succumbing to GAS would solve my problems, haha.

I bought a Push 3, but it didn't really fit the bill. it's incredible, but huge, heavy and complicated. it's less a groovebox and more a new interface for Ableton. not the kind of thing you really want to make tunes with in the bed.

so I fully lost my mind and bought a Polyend Tracker+ after seeing Aisjam toy with it. why wait for the m8 model 02 when I can... buy two different devices instead, haha.

anyway, I've had it for a couple of days now, and this is the first halfway fruitful thing I've put together. I'm a lot less comfortable on it than the m8 at this point, but it's a killer little box. this is repetitive nonsense and there's a hell of a tail on the export, but it's got a bit of that old jungle vibe.

I think you missed a minute at the end there.

he's back!! i love this track! the vocals are sick and i just love a rolling break.

glad you are enjoying the PT+. i used the PT for about a year before switching to renoise. i also never really connected with ableton
