Live Looping the Bastl Softpop 2 with the Elektron Octatrack MK2

In this video Matthew Piecora (aka EZBOT) uses the the Elektron Octatrack Mk2 to live loop the Bastl Softpop 2. Video also includes a tutorial on the Bastl Softpop 2.
Softpop SP2 is a radical subtractive synth under the influence of unconventional digital control. It’s a rare beast that excels at both melody and noise in equal measure. SP2’s favorite sounds include bassline bangers, angelic chord progressions, distorted beats, and water droplets. Softpop also has an external input with enough gain and saturation to process any sound thru the filter and VCA.
The heart of SP2 is an analog, modular synth replete with lush tones and a chaotic disposition. Its brain is a complex digital sequencer and quantizer that brings (some) order to the chaos. The analog heart and the digital brain support each other while also pushing their behaviors out of normal routines in surprising ways.

Awesome! EZbot is a legend🔥

[@ThinkerThunker]

I appreciated you demonstrating WHILE telling about it. Letting us hear what each knob and slider does. It would be great to see cool patching examples, and more S&H stuff. Thanks.

[@randydarklight]

All these tons of videos with the modulations and atonal stuff on YT and finally Patchworks does what you're supposed to do with the SP2! finally!!! Electronic Pop!

[@Metamerist625]

Ohhh nice! that was super inspiring, I dont have an Octatrack but I have done similar with my Sofpop and Ableton, the Softpop sounds fantastic when its layered in loops like this. This vid has given me lots of ideas, thanks for making it!

[@danielpirone8028]

Love mine! Definitely an inspiring machine.

[@Congasjones]

Me too

[@joeyalgorithm5082]

Softpop 2 sounds dope!

[@RedMeansRecording]

i like how juicy the filter sounds. it's got a sort of notch filter fizz going on?

[@atomboyd]

A sound as full as that mustache

[@EZBOT_]

I think your hearing some modulation on the filter attack, hard to remember, I filmed it a few weeks ago.

[@ToyotaVangelis]

There is the pop fader that adds cutoff modulation by the pulse out of the vco

@@ToyotaVangelis hey!! So glad to see you here!

[@EZBOT_]

@@ToyotaVangelis also yes that was it 100% I absolutely remember that now

[@johnslater154]

Lol my favorite part was the dismount at the end

[@PatchwerksSeattle]

Haha, glad you liked it!

[@allotropeijk]

Sick hat 😎

[@quantum_ocean]

I don’t really understand what’s going on. Is the active track sending many notes?

[@laughingthrushmusic5269]

Does soft pop have midi sync in?

[@evanvincent2424]

ya

[@peteedwards9691]

yes. it has midi sync in

[@EleniEliades_]

Is it me or are you playing at a very slow BPM? Feel that it requires quite a bit more ramping up. As in "Too slow Bro..." Followed by "Faster Pussycat! kill...KILL..!"❗🎵♥️🔥🚀✨🧨

[@tasose]

Soft pop sounds good but Moog is better. Very expensive for what it has to offer
