Whiplash - 2x Elektron Octatrack and friends

Here’s some hard hitting Electro-something-or-other

Really fun playing this track. Only a few scenes but they are really effective moving the song along. Coupled with some kick/bass mutes and the Kaossilator it’s a fun and interactive performance.

Produced in FL studio and rendered out loops and one shots.

The bass in particular was a lot of fun moving to the Octatracks. I created a slice-grid of 16 bass notes that the LFO cycles through randomly. It gives the bass a less static sound than just playing a single note as there are phase/unison things going on with it in the original composition.

In some other tracks I’ve expanded the slice idea to creating a sort of multi-sampled bass instrument. All of the notes played in the song have 7 or more one shots that are selected randomly, and to play different notes I P-lock the slice start parameter in the sequencer.

Fun stuff.
