(streaming link, to download click the blue 'MP3' box in the top right hand corner)

this tune began as a bassline and various layers of instrumentation i'd played into my QY-70. from there i imported the MIDI files i'd made into Reason and developed the track. i was aiming for a blunted head-nodder, with a few tempo shifts and build-ups/filter-tweaks to keep the dynamics interesting

all instruments/drums were played/programmed myself; the only samples used were some chopped drums and the Clark Gable speech at the beginning

Euclid - the padKontrol got a big workout on this one :wink:

all feedback welcome, what do you think?

I really like the bass, its not over the top, but perfectly layered with everything else....I can feel a dub influence, which is a good thing...I also like how its doesnt have a boring structure and kinda developes as it goes along, makes it feel like the track is traveling....

all in all good shit!!

If you get a chance check some of my stuff out....cheers

That's a head nodder fa sho. I bought a PK off of your feedback on it.

cheers Doc

are you using the pK much? i find it useful not just as a nicer interface for the SP, but also to trigger synths. you could control your microKorg with it, using the Roll function to get nice slurs out of a synth patch. there's probably also a few MIDI CCs that you can use the pK's knobs to access which aren't available from the microKorg's interface.

I haven't used it with my MK yet since I use the power adapter from that to power my PK. I mainly use it to do my drums on the 303.
