Fluffy Sunday sounds... rearranged my setup a bit, using the 2880s in a better place now.

Another play through of the same track. Experimenting with different ways to play these tracks out live. I only use hardware, and don't save anything, so each track is a one off that can never be recorded again! Its a great way to practice though an not get caught up tweaking one track for ages.

Kpro/ESX/2880/Misc FX pedals

Another MF DOOM play along.

I tried the same technique as last time, minus the polyChorus. I like it, but its a bit more 'normal sounding' than the last one.

Kpro/ESX/2880/Misc FX pedals.

I got some MF DOOM acapella tracks and made a spaced out track to go with. I'm really happy with how it turned out!

I recorded a Kpro melody then play it into the 2880 looper while I move the octave sliders on the EHX HOG. Then a second pass form the 20880 into the PolyChorus and I twist the knobs and it goes back into the second 2880.  That's the weird background sound workflow.

Esx/Kpro/2880 some miscellaneous electro/techno.

An EHX HOG manipulates the main base riff, this is especially apparent during the last 3rd to the end, which becomes something slightly differernt than misc techno, and is the best part imo.

Using a VoiceBox to tune Kpro loops/beatboxing, with chords from a Q-chord as input. ESX on drums.
Fun sort of technique, but its a bit of work to set it all up.

Electribe ESX and MiniKp.
Sampled the Mega man intro music from YouTube into the ESX and played around with it. Not sure I like the sampling workflow (too slow) but... it's mega-fun.... get it?

Drum and base. Koassilator pro, MiniKp and newly added Electribe ESX.

Although the music is still pretty bad, The ESX is the most advanced bit of gear i've used and I love it! I am addicted too hardware at this point.

Slow build up on the Kaossilator pro with a miniKP for fx. Using a 2880 Looper to keep more loops than the Kpro will allow.
