awesome to hear some jungle. I don't really know how to make it and every time I try I get distracted. I also don't really understand slices but they seem really powerful (ilzxc seems irritated about them being bound to note numbers though). nice backstory and you said it's not about the technique but there's impressive technique on display here!

Thank you for such a thoughtful thought!
For me, jungle is just kinda what falls out of a tracker when I let it do the talking. 3/4 of this came from just sitting on the couch goofing off with Dag-Nab-It who I know loves some good dnb / jungle, so I figured I'd just try to fill the air with some. The way a tracker lets you so easily slice up a break without actually having to commit any edits - thats jungle baby. Then the commands here let me just take it even further... it's pretty addictive.

Great track; those jungle riddums against those pads + whatever that voice-ish thing is around 2:06 sounds rad.   Also lol at the "satellite control" quote in Jet Set Radio.

Looks like we caught a similar classic sample-diving bug―I haven't had time to do a writeup yet, but a lot of my samples this week came from the  "free" sample  CD that came with the SU200 (and also has samples I recognize from JSR )

This is dope

I only watched a friend play that game a couple times but the soundtrack did seem awesome! Pretty sure that aesthetic basically defined a good chunk of young'ns.

Diki! I went back and forth on thinking it was ok or if it was crap. It needs work, but the bones are there.

So many breaks
So many drums
So much bass
Love it
Nanoloop mobile is the same, imho the power comes from samples and slices/offsets

Thanks for the feedback! Yea I like how you do drum breaks in nl mobile. That's one area I didn't spend enough time in, so thanks for encouraging me to revisit.

I didn't have the paid cds in the 90s, they were pretty expensive for a teen, but I did have some Future Music magazine free sample cds! I also probably did get most of those unscrupulous downloads back then too!

I didn't have a connection fast enough to pirate these things, but I did find an akai sample cd in a bargain bin once and scooped it up quick! I think I fed my s20 with a couple of those beats...

did you add more echo and reverb to the vocal parts or do they come through with the reverb? - i wish i understood how ya'll program those m8's - this track is really great

This just makes me smile, love this era of music, absolutely nailed it, great use of those samples and the vocals, I’m sure I still have a bunch of those cds lying around, just don’t have a CD player or cd drive anymore

Thank you! I dont think I added much processing to the Vox - those are as they were off the cd.

I probably take it for granted when I call this jungle-by-numbers... its like I've heard enough of this stuff that I can pick apart the 'formula' without much effort.
Thanks so much for your approval and taking the time to listen / comment.

Dude you're not lying about "all the golden era sounds" this is goddamn righteous. F+D

I grumble about this for chops of pitched sounds, aye -- C#4 PIT04 is confusing, because you now have note communicating slice index & PIT command transposition. I'd settle on 037 PIT04 with a numberic view instead of a note. Otherwise, I'd prefer C#4 SLI25 (I think 25 is hex for 37). For drums, though, it's insanely good regardless and for all my complaints you can always do SLI02 PIT00, which is explicit AF, but does mean that you're not using the note at all other than as a trigger and sacrificing two whole lanes.

Also new auto-chopping & things is amazing and you should try them.

Yea I would love a way around this too - using notes helps w the transposition tricks you can do in chain view, but that's another thing I'd love to see more control over: changing things for the whole pattern via chain view - so much empty space!
