… on just one track.
(Also, this jam uses the same trick but much more in the background: SYNTAKT Sy Bits does it all - Space Theremin, Industrial, Gabber, Acid - YouTube )
Imagine Elektron would give us a dedicated Machine for this use … with the following parameters:
TUNE, DET (but wider range), SWEP, DEC
Wave Level, Noise Level, FM Amount, OVER
Waveform is of course always square, so we don’t need a paramater for that

Sort of two osc VA with noise plus sample and bit rate reduction.
It’s fucking excellent.

It’s supposed use is for Chiptune stuff - but it’s the only syntakt machine so far that offers square wave and noise together!

Good work, I’ve tried to make a few things sound like a DFAM but this is better than any of my attempts!

Totally nailed it… and was the trigger for me. Elektron owe you one.

This doesn’t help me, but it helps me.

This groove has a cool Bjork “Army of Me” vibe to me, even though that song has real drums and a squirmy electronic bass.

I love Bjork! I have all her studio (9 of them) CD’s and she is coming out with a new one this summer!

Get into the mod menu and assign 4 separate parameters to velocity mod, then p-lock velocity for some macro action on an 8 step sequence. Gets you ever closer to that DFAM cable spaghetti vibe (I’ve been doing this on my Pro 2 for a couple years, good to have it in a smaller box now, plus you get 8 tracks of em)

Bonus points:
send all your sybits 8 step DFAM tracks to the fx block.
P-lock drive, FX, envelope, but set the fx track as an 11 step sequence.
