Open Challenge #1

[cartesia]

Welcome to Open Challenge! (tm)

The task -
Use all your powers, all your hijacked alien technology, all your ancient wisdom, to make some crazy beats!

The topic is:"Space Time Discontinuity"
Here's a few samples which you might like to use.. Dont feel you need to only use these though.. In fact don't feel you need to use these at all if you dont want to.. The break is provided just in case for some reason you lost all your drum samples in a house fire or customs seized them or something:

science jibberish:

The winner will be the person who consumes the largest amount of drugs while producing their entry...

We might also have a vote for a 'people's choice' award or something.

You have exactly 2 weeks from the time this post was made!

i think it's a great idea to have proposition like this.

[PHeMoX]

Cool. I'm in!

So I guess we should follow the theme 'Space & Science'?

[drewzle]

awesome, count me in

think i'll make an all RM1X beat with the "Space Time Discontinuity" theme

[PHeMoX]

This screams for a futuristic electro kind of beat, but I'm going for something different.

Not sure how long I will take though.

By the way, that break.. from which song is it?

how do you find this machine?is it versatile enough?what about midi?

[drewzle]

^ it's an awesome machine man! the MIDI specs are top notch, real-time MIDI control over all 16 channels, really nice Pattern system (very similar to QY-70 actually, the guts of these two Yamaha boxes are pretty much the same)

i'll probably film me playing it for this battle, and submit the live audio feed as an mp3

Phil Collins - The man with the horn.. it's right at the beginning of the record on the 45 i have, just as a kinda intro to the song.

i've got the qy70, it's not bad.
by the way a post with you filmed for this Open Challenge could be cool.

[drewzle]

^ will do

think i'll control the SP via the RM1X so I can use that breakbeat in the track. plus it feels strange not using the SP in a battle

[PHeMoX]

Yeah, it will be interesting for sure when people use all kinds of gear. That's a SP-forums first.

edit:All done!

It may have a little bit low volume, but at least mastering is good.

Only samples from the two audiofiles, lifted the kick, snare and crash, and the vinyl sound used in the beat from the Break file, piano and vocals from the science jibberish file.

all done on my sp-606

[PHeMoX]

@IIII: Yeah, I probably should, but I had no time to mess some more with it.

Good to see some more beats though, sounding great guys. I like that piano sample Oynstikker.
