M8: Spore Structure

By jimmac on October 22, 2022 2:21 pm

The weather outside is absolutely horrendous, which means more time to doodle some weekly beats. While I have a few unfinished projects, I decided to start fresh, take the newly released FM drum patches by Trash80 and do a sample-less jam on my M8 and the Novation Launchkey Minifor the few knobs it has. I have to say the snares are unbelievably punchy. Haven't tweaked a thing on the drums.

And because the weekend is all mine, I can sneak in a little video. Shot again, on the Liberec dam, which is now completely empty for reconstruction. Hopefully they get it done before 2025 as they plan.

The little pixel note graphic is my new brand, I finally bit the bullet and started uploading some of my tunes to the streaming services, because it's painful to tell friends how to take a listen. I set up a page to point people to. Quite happy with the little client side grain in CSS I have going there.

Nice acid and synths. How did you use the launchkey on this? Sorry for dumb questions, I'm new to the scene.

Just mapped around 6 of the knobs, pardon encoders, to have direct control, nothing fancy. I wish I knew how to set up the MIDI mutes to the pads. Correction, I wish someone would tell the monkey I am how to do it smile


Chunky as hell - both drums and synths. Makes me happy that your style translates across mediums.

Too kind.


I added Distrokid's hyperfollow page, but good.

Also too kind smile But I feel like weeklybeats is having good effect. One day I might get decent in this synth thing.

awesome track but WHOA THAT FOOTAGE I was not expecting that

great job!!

Excellent acid feels throughout this.  Love the downtempo lurching feel of the beat too.  It makes the synths sound even thicker.

Harsher side of jimmac acid hell yeah heart

(Excited to be doing a second round across all these video-havers later...)

Beautifully dirty, still with a nice bit of space in there considering how big it sounds. I like.
