Hi friends. Welcome to my submission for week 9.
This week has been busy. I started on one track and had to shelve it for another time because it wasn't working out. Instead, I made a quick-ish ambient/dub techno sketch.

I actually don't listen to a ton of dub techno. Somehow I've been watching a lot of tutorial videos for dub techno production techniques. I do like me some good pads and textures though.
Here's what I did:
- main pad's EQ frequencies are modulated via internal midi to create more movement
- OTT amount modulated via internal midi
- random-length delay chord stab that's on a different meter than the other elements of the song (courtesy of ezbot's dub delay tutorial)
- hats are a 4/4 pattern of 3 bars looping against the main track
- polymeters and polyrhythm are a little tricky on the m8 -- I learned that the RMX command is a good friend to have
Thanks for listening!
