Acid Techno Jamboree - MC-707 / S-1 / TD-3 / TR-8S 129bpm - Info in description

Back to it with an Acid / Techno track
MC-707 is master clock
Sound distribution:
Drums - TR-8S
303 - TD-3 / Boss BD-2 / Zoom MS70-CDR
Basslines - MC-707
Stabs - MC-707
Main synth loop - S-1 Tweak Synth
All sounds are standard Zencore...
MIDI Chain:
707 OUT 1 = TR-8S
707 OUT 2 = TD-3
TR-8S OUT = S-1
Audio Chain:
TR-8S L&R out to MC-707 EXT-IN
TD3 Mono out to Boss BD2 - BD2 to MS70CDR - MS70CDR Stereo Outs into MC-707 Return L&R
S-1 Tweak Synth to TR-8S EXT IN. Type 4 sidechain linked to BD
Song Structure:
TD3 has 8 patterns chained. They are essentially all the same patern however I have changed the Time modes
& Pitch modes on patterns 4 & 8 to give it a bit of variation.
TR-8S drums are 8 blocks of 16 steps on rotation. Just using the faders to bring bits in and out
MC-707 pads are played in realtime. Bass & stabs are programmed into one 32 step clip each and are on constant loop,
brought in / out on the faders
S-1 is a 16 step loop on constant loop. ENV amount brings the volume up / down. Playing with FREQ & OSC Range for variation
I really dont like using the 707 as the soundcard for recording into Ableton Live, it's
too quiet and always ends up clipping when normalised.
I prefer to run it all into the Mackie ProFX mixer but literally couldnt be bothered to get it out.
PS Lost the last minute or so of the audio file in post video editing so had to apply an audio / video fade to close it out.
Peace.

Apologies for the distortion. Should have ran all this through my mixer rather than use god-awful USB audio into Live. When your recording and playing the 707 at the same time over USB you hear a horrible double echo. Trying to lower the USB audio buffer introduced some horrible artefacts 😔

Loving the use of live pads on the 707. Also, the TD3 acid fading over to S1 is fantastic. Is the lower acid pulse coming off a 707 instrument? Anyways, great track. Reminds me a bit of Plastikman live.

[@Alpha-DX]

Hi Yes it's coming from the 707. The 12 step pulse is actually on 2 channels. I bring the second channel in to beef it up as it starts to get drowned by the S_1 going full tilt. In isolation that dual pulse sounded really nice, like a beefy PWM square wave with a slight tremelo effect

[@straightforwardAcidTechno]

ow YEAH!!! great stuf Alpha

[@Alpha-DX]

Cheers mate 👍 👍 👍
