Let's talk white noise (dub techno)

Thanks! It was a quick jam, but i’ll keep that in mind when I take another thwack at it in a bit

An underrated noise source is just sampling the noise floor of the audio in with nothing plugged in. I actually prefer that to any of the noise samples included with the DT factory library.

Sampling the noise floor is good stuff on the digitakt. Never thought to just apply it as a straight noise source for dub techno. Experiments for tomorrow.

This may be obvious but parameter locking different filter cutoffs/env depths to different trigs helps give noise samples “movement” and almost tape warbly type sound.

Using shallow depths on env amount can work nicely because it gives you subtle fluctuations w/o being so obviously “filter sweepy”

Yeaah, this is sooo nice to do!
Giving the noise loop some inhirent movement outside the bpm time of the song, then deliberately motion sequence a rhythmic envelope onto it also makes for some wonderful variation/emphasis!

Bumping. Seems like a good match to the currently active dub chords thread.
