Thanks for listening! The distorted bass/guitar sound is a Cwejman BLD eurorack module through a L-1 filter. The rest is just the M:C, which I still love :slight_smile:

CTRL ALL and CHANCE is a lot of fun :grinning:

This is M:C only, but processed in ableton live and additional voice over.

Me! (: — Can you say a few words about how this was accomplished? How many tracks? Which machines? Any external sequencer? It sounds so good and fun!

hi! thanks :slight_smile: Just entered notes step by step through my Novation SL Mk3 for tracks 1 and 2.

For track 3 I used the SL too, but with some light Arpegiatted notes

3 tracks only, using three times the Tone engine :smiley:

Super nice! With three tracks left over you could add some percussion.

Yeah i know but… it’s Zelda :slight_smile: I like - sometimes - to produce some restrained tracks ^^

Brilliant. My girlfriend (massive Zelda fan) ran into the room when I was playing it. Quote: “Zelda! That’s fucking awesome.” :yellow_heart:

That’s appreciated too. Stay rad.

Interstellar theme played with M:C as a two layer, 3 note FM poly synth via Ableton and a midi round robin device as explained here
First the Tone machine, then the chord machine and third both together. Reverb and delay from the M:C only but using it as a one part synth allows for using ableton fx like a chorus or whatever.

Lots of possibilities and combinations possible; I like it more than the Volca FM or the Waldorf Streichfett I had

I know this was a while back, but this reply has troubled me slightly since so it’s time for a response, not for my one sake: I could care less, but for anyone else who might stumble across this and have similar thoughts.

My post was purely a point of praise for the technical ability to create something I really enjoyed in such a short space of time, with a bit of my own reality thrown in for perspective. Now there’s nothing wrong with this and I’m happy with where I am with music and my abilities at this time. Not everyone can reach the same high levels they hear in someone else’s productions, regardless of time, experience, dedication, equipment etc, etc. As with anything in life, some are better than others.

For me I love tinkering with music tech and traditional instruments and my results please and disappoint me in equal measures - no difference from many others I suspect. What I do also really enjoy is listening to music and watching videos of others who have similar equipment. I take inspiration, as most do, but I’m under no illusion that I, personally, will be able to create content of a similar standard. I’m OK with that and so can many others be, if that’s what they choose.

There have been six major hobbies in my life: running, cycling, wind-surfing, snowboarding, clubbing and music. Your comment “Damn these are great! Look how much power is potentially right at my fingertips! Let’s step up our game!”, if applied, can only take you so far. For example, I used to run for the Army. 10 miles in 1 hour, in boots, in any weather, which if you don’t know is pretty good going. This was enough to compete but not fast enough to win. Doesn’t matter how much more I trained or got stronger my times stayed the same, I had plateaued.

I used to cycle, 200 miles a week. 140 of these in the hills around where I live every weekend. My road bike was the same as used by a TdF team at the time and I fueled myself to a strict regime. I entered Sportif’s and amateur races and had some successes but no matter how much I pushed myself or how much I improved my technique I was always way off the Pro’s and Semi-Pro’s, who were just in a different league, even though on paper we had similarities. I could go on… the same is for wind surfing and snowboarding. Now clubbing is a different matter: I was at the top of my game for 10 years!

Surely there is place for everyone, that’s the whole point of life. Not everyone can be the best or even reach their own modest goals. If the enjoyment is there then the journey can continue and along the way you can praise others, ideally without the judgement of others. I appreciate every post of music and video, every tip, every question on this forum – they educate and entertain me.

Peace!

When I was 15 I worked for a summer with a successful sculptor. She told me that when people offer to show their expressions (art or ideas), they should be encouraged first. Anything else (for example criticism or testing) can follow.

This isn’t a practice developed because it is expedient or ‘easy’. It’s just how ideas grow and how we get to see the best possible art in time. It was interesting to see the exact practice in a brilliant ad agency years later. Other (less successful) agencies allow competition earlier (in ideas meetings people will jump over each other’s thoughts/sketches with variations, perceived ‘improvements’ perhaps before truly understanding). You could watch in real-time hierarchy and ego manifest and close-off creative avenues.

That is to say. X might not be considered good. But X is no less welcome or valid.

I feel this has some relevance to your comment 853. Sorry for the derail ppl.
