Giving it away

By walternormand on June 7, 2026 11:58 pm

Made this in the last 30 mins of the deadline while multiple people collected things off marketplace that I had posted yesterday.
Had been missing the Elektron Analog 4 I used to own and had the sudden realisation I could just recreate it with ableton stock plugins, so this was 3 instances of Analog, and then a 707 drum rack because I was running out of time.
It was fun to apply the same mental limits to ableton - turns out the mental shift can be fun without the gear.
Realised I was missing the tactile feedback of having encoders, so very quickly got out an old underutilised APC40 that hadn't been used in years and remembered how much of a blast it was to use.

Great sound all around. I love the sound of the polymetric dancing beeps and simple bass with the big but clean percussion. This is a great, tense soundtrack cue.

Very clean sound, love the mix of this, sounds huge.  I do wish it was longer was just getting fully into it and then it ended.  Great use of the gear available to recreate that sound and feel of the hardware.

Thank you! I do enjoy that polymetric tension and risk overusing it ahaha. I'm glad you enjoyed this!

Thank you! I'm glad you think so! Noted, I will let the jam go for longer next time (although it was minutes until the deadline when I was recording this so I was limited there...)
