Bitter Grass

By orbit_normal on February 22, 2026 5:14 am

I had a lot of false starts this week. One of those starts began by sequencing the East Beast -- just an arp with a fun patch. I really haven't experimented with the sequence external gear > sample into the M8 > fiddle with knobs while it's recording workflow. I really like! It's a bit more intuitive than meticulously adjusting parameters in the FX lane (though I do enjoy doing that as well).

I love a good arp and I love this specific arp. It is really spacey in both a there is a lot of delay/reverb and space on this, and also in that I close my eyes and see myself flying through space in a spaceship. Maybe through a dangerous asteroid field. I think this would fit right in with the soundtrack for FTL. Really an awesome track with no dull moment.

Nice! I actually briefly had an east beast but had to send it back because of a hardware issue, but it sounded awesome. I really should get another! Great job smile

Thank you! I was feeling iffy on this one before I submitted it.

The East Beast is a ton of fun! I think a good companion to the M8 if you also have a way to convert midi to CV.
