Experimenting with algorithms and Novation Launchpad #4
In this next experiment I added the Korg MS20 being driven by the SQ-1 Sequencer as loop material but also made 2 process changes Drum machine and SQ1 synchronized by Ableton master clock Quantise being used on the recording … Continue reading
Experimenting with algorithms and Novation Launchpad #3
Following on from yesterdays experiment with the Korg Ms20 and the launchpad algorithm I now subject the Korg volca beats drum machine to the same process- only with an addition that within each loop iteration (recording a new loop) one … Continue reading
Experimenting with algorithms and Novation Launchpad #2
Following on from previous experiment, with this one I had streamlined the process and limited the input voices to one synthesizer the Korg MS20 (with effects) Also I streamlined the looping system in Ableton to only turn on a resampling … Continue reading
Experimenting with algorithms and Novation Launchpad #1
As a result of recently working with Steve Gisby on his “Four iterative pieces” album and really following on from my minimalist TGV album (see previous blog) I had an idea to develop a series of algorithmic experiments using Ableton … Continue reading
TGV
This album is the conclusion of the previous blogs about improvising with the SQ-1 (at least in part). There are some new tracks which extend the practice as a drum machine was added (easy to use the samples in Ableton … Continue reading
