Jay Aryan - Couple of beats in soundcloud

[J Aryan]

Hello hello!
Bought a secondhand sp 404 yesterday so i can finally sign in to sp-forums!
Anyways here is link to some of my beats. All the beats there are done with ableton, mpc2kxl, kp3, tx81z and wax. Still learning how to use 404 but i hope you will hear some of that lofi shit on my next beats!

tx lives!!!!
how do you find it to program? after some tries i'm more comfortable with. i don't use any editor, do you know some?

[J Aryan]

it`s super hard to program, but i mainly use it for random bleeps and some tweaked bass presets. never got any of those computer editors to work

[J Aryan]

finally did a track with heavy sp use

beat tape out

i'm gonna listen the whol work
i see on tags you used an rs7000...is it cool?

[J Aryan]

rs7k is ridiculous! ableton live of hardware sampler/sequencers. easily my favorite gear to fuck wit. too bad none of the youtube vids show what it`s really capable of

[ellaguru]

ot
i'm now using an mc-909, another "AbletonLive" type of machine. i was indecided between this one and the rs7000 one year ago, but a super cheap occasion (400€ here in france) let every decision come down. the 909 is another beast (but, indeed, i was looking for a machine with faders for live things and to be independent from apc20+Live i was looking for an mv8000 wich was too expensive; so, i was about selling a roland d2 -a cosmetically talking awful groovebox- and the 909 got this-groovebox+faders- and many many more...)

[J Aryan]

hows sampling in mc909? never found one for sale here in finland

[ellaguru]

sampling is ok on the 909.
some cool sampling features:
you can sample/resample while listening patterns; you can chop like on sp505/606 or like mpc2000/xl (zones) or by beats (never tried this); you can combine different edited samples in one; you have one shot/gate/reverse modo for playing samples but right now i'm not very satisfied with: to bang beats is better to chop samples, 'cause with that you have real one shot.
some cool (hidden) editing feature/tips:
with the new (free) os you can use an effect (machine gun) similar to a Roll; you can combine/mix 4 samples in one of 16 track and mix/blend them in any moment or any position by tweaking just one knob;you have multisampling on all 16 tracks; you can assign to all the faders or knobs or buttons 4 functions for 1 of them (just 4 times) by cc;
the big plus is , naturally, the large SCREEN: sequencing (microedit is a great feature) is very easy.
another cool feat is the groove/quantize function

everyone needs a rs7k! seriously THE best thing ive ever put my money on

[blavatsky]

previous RS7k owner, still miss things about it.
I paid only slightly more for an MV8800 though and that thing is a beast.
