Emu showoff..

Well.. i made this hiphop loop in like 15 min out of a loop i sampled from 5 first sec of REM - I'll take the rain. It was made to convince a friend that he should get a sampler (emu) :) .

so the loop is heavy threated with peak shelf filter.

The beat is created on a mc 909, then sampled down as a loop to the emu, where all the magic happends.. bitcruch, AXiter, more stuff i dont remember.. cus it happends so fast :P

A small update

Well, stuff have happend lately. I haven't been too good on updating this blog.. but then.. who is reading this blog after all :P .

the Roland MC-909 have arrived in house. And I must say its a fun tool and instrument to work with.. making beats goes very easy.. and the sampling part, which is miles away from the emu, have some very nice features. The sample chopping feature is just a dream to work with.. it chops your sample into as many part you like and map it up to the pads on the mc.. thats something i have been dreaming for on the emu for long time :) .

The synth engine is a full blown fantom engine, which can be programmed in all details. The filters is typical roland.. nothing special.. but sounds good. btw.. if you are a mc 909 owner.. sign this petrition: http://www.PetitionOnline.com/rolandjp/petition.html

The last weekend during this easter, i have been making two realy fast tracks.. one for a fast intro for TG 08 (www.gathering.org), and another one for combined demo for TG 08. The combined demo gained a third place, which is the best place our demo group have gotten in that categorty.

on psy-works.net (one of my old domains), have some people from emusonacid.co.uk forum started a sharing site for old sample cd's that arnt in marked anymore. We don't want to have a warez profile, so we try make sure its not available in any webshop/stores.

A day before the arrival of MC-909

Roland MC-909
Well.. due to my bad economy, i have agreed with a nice guy to trade some gear.

he gets from me

Korg AM8000R :(
Korg M1r
Line 6 FilterPro
Presonus TubePre

I gets a MC 909 from him.

I HOPE it will work as a creative sketchpad for creating fast beats and other sweet stuff. Since its also a sampler aswell as a groovebox.. it can be covering large fields. but i havent forgot my emu.. which will still be my main sampler.. i cant imagine that the mc909 will beat the sound of emu..

one idea i have is to create up the beat on the mc909.. the maybe slice it down and then recorde it over to the emu, before sequencing it into logic?
