Re: probably a Triton

Post by MattCoops »

From listening to pieces of a few tracks off his koapastetik​.​LP., it sounds like something that could be made with a workstation synthesizer (like a Triton, or something along those lines).
Sounds like sequenced samples from sounds that come factory loaded in gear. Nothing to complex. It's the way it is sequenced and mixed that gives its style.

I've listened to every knx beat tape hes ever released, some far far too many times. I listen to a lot of beats from peeps on the forums too obviously, but for some reason I always go back to listening to knxwledge stuff when im driving to work, just trying to figure out his style. He seems to have a process he uses every time just tweaking some stuff

tasteful vinyl samples + good deep drum samples + ducking compression and some soul...

It's good stuff, I don't think it sounds un-achievable or mysterious though (?)

This tape is probably a better example of his style
http://gloof.bandcamp.com/album/karma-loops-prt3

I always notice he uses a weird delay effect he does it at 00:09 on nobodielse and again at 00:13 he does that a lot in his beats. And in WrapTaype.port2 he uses sidechaining to compress the acapella track triggered by the bass drum in a couple tracks which sounds pretty cool.
