mind the probe

I've been really vibing with Princent Vice and nedsferatu's dnb plus 303 tracks, and I finally decided to take a real stab at it. I cut my teeth on things like Konflict - Messiah back in the long long ago, and while I wasn't trying to put together something as world changing as that in a week, I wanted to try and capture some of the dark and aggressive nature of dnb from that era.
It was a fun diversion on drum programming for sure. Instead of 4 on the floor with some turnarounds, there's a lot in the breaks. I don't know how well it comes out in the final mix, but there's no repetition. It's 64 bars complete with all of the velocity and pitch ramps a jungle boy could love. I used some Ableton trickery to record MIDI from a number of handmade breaks and jumble them into entirely new patterns.
