    Great video, thanks for making this, there’s loads of ideas in here.
    Another technique that I like to use on the OT is to add a a filter with some resonance, modulated by an envelope with a small amount of attack, and a short decay. It gives you a nice whippy effect, similar to that used in some IDM breakbeat tracks by the likes of squarepusher.

  • @setiroculus
    @setiroculus 2 роки тому +6

    This was great! With the OT, another fun thing to do is to put an lfo on the triggers to play different slices of the sample and have those triggers have probabilities or have it mapped to turn the lfo on in a scene.

    this is great! love playing with breaks on the digitakt, and lately with the M8 as well which is madness for mangling possibilities with micro-control over effects, repeats, spacing etc. it's always fun to find one on vinyl but there are so many on youtube too, instant inspiration.

      I often use whole or 1/2 note samples, rather than quarter note with octatrack.

    • @ThomannSynthesizers
      @ThomannSynthesizers  2 роки тому +4

      Depends on the genre. For hip hop I‘d take an MPC 1000XL or SP1200 but for electronic dance music I‘d prefer the Octatrack any day of the week due the easy of use, sound design possibilities, effects etc.
      Best, Felix

But the build quality was still high up until the 2000XL and 4000, my 2000XL has lasted nearly 30 years, its outlived everything else i own, (please can hipster kids with new ones please refarain from defending their purchase in reply, thank you and no i dont waht to share your Starbucks Soy latte).

    Entweder man besorgt sich die Drums als original Vinyl oder CD oder lässt es.
    Wer Mp3 sampeln oder sich die Breaks von anderen vor schneiden und slicen lässt, sollte es lieber gleich lassen. ;)
    Und leider ist es auch nicht das gleiche den Timestretch von Ableton oder dem Octatrack oder Digitakt zu benutzen den der einzig wahre Timestretch für Drum and Bass, Jungle und Breakbeats ist der von Akai S 950 bis Akai S 3000 und seinem Cycle Mode!
    Nein auch kein Akaizer VST macht den Job richtig. ;)

    • @ThomannSynthesizers
      @ThomannSynthesizers  2 роки тому +1

      Im Video hab ich doch selbst gezeigt wo man die original Breaks als lossless Wav und R2X Datei bekommt (mp3 würde Ich tunlichst vermeiden :D) und gesagt, dass es besser ist wenn man lernt die original Breaks selbst zu slicen anstatt sich auf das Jungle Jungle Pack zu verlassen.
      Aber ja der Akai Timestretch ist legendär und der Ableton Timestrecht ist nicht so schön für Breaks, weshalb ich ihn hier auch nicht benutzt habe. Ich hab ja auch Im Video erklärt, dass ich deshalb immer erst Warp ausschalte sobald ich einen Break in die Timeline ziehe und ihn lieber manuell pitche, editiere etc.
