Great tutorial. Simple one, simple technique, massive result. Thanks for that 🙏

[@MicahBuzanANIMATION]

This puts me at ease

[@MatthewLowes]

Love it! Already thinking about the many things I can do with this. Thanks for sharing. Cheers. :)

[@RayRischpater]

Nice work. I’ve used the loops-of-varying-length technique, and this does a good job explaining it. I also enjoyed seeing how you only used two samples repitched in chromatic mode to get some really good loops. Thanks!

Nice tutorial, nice piece of ambient. Thank you for sharing it. I bought my 404 MkII for ambient specifically.

[@dbeez8317]

Great video will have to try having a play with this . I love my sp404mk2

[@BacaBaconi]

Nice👌

[@tamalitogirl]

Thank you so much. This inspired me a lot and Im gonna try it now ;) There's so much stuff that I want to dive in sp404 in ambient therms but there's just a few tutorials. Congrats for this seriously I want to learn so much more from you :D

[@tamalitogirl]

Thank you so much for this lesson I´ve already did it and it was great and fun :)

[@stefandziallas1639]

Brilliant! You made a new intro to Star Trek. 👾

[@spenzakwsx4430]

can you have different sequencer lengths on different tracks? like with elektron devices? to create polyrhythmic rsequences?

[@TonyJamesMorton]

Unfortunately not. The sequencing capabilities are quite basic, albeit better than from the previous model.

Good video. 💪🏾

[@jjbing3]

Recording those pads with no metronome is 🥜. I watched you do it but still can’t… let me watch again. 🤔

[@jjbing3]

I wonder how I would add drums 👀

The name of this is usually polyrhythm.

[@opticalman6417]

aphex twin springs to mind

[@hummahumma3585]

I would say, that polyrhythm is combining two or more rhythms with different time signatures (4:4 vs. 3:4 for example) but same lenght. So this is not polyrhythm.

[@miekwavesoundlab]

Polyrhythms usually have resolution point within a few bars. For example 3/4 and 4/4 polyrhythm loops at 3 bars in 4:4 time or 4 bars in 3:4 time. And triplet bass line against 16th hats is another example.

[@isaiahromero9861]

No it's not... some of yall really need to actually learn music theory instead of just randomly throwing around words like "polyrhythm" to impress people

[@surrealchemist]

Even if it was technically correct I don't think its a good way to label it with the samples being so long and the difference not being locked to a grid. The variations are not going to be as apparent and straight forward polyrhythm or polymeter. You can't count them out easily because its not a rhythmic piece
