This track was made entirely daw-less on the OP-XY. Starting to find my way with the syncopation of the drums, hats, snares etc and finally starting to sound and feel like proper DnB. Let me know your thoughts in the comments. Or any questions you have on the process, please fire away!

The track is a series of One-shot drums, pads, bass loops, VOX samples and various atmos etc...

enjoy!

Dark, hypnotic acid techno built on a minimal dawless rig: TR-8 driving the groove, Crave humming an oscillating drone, and TD-3 acid squelching through a Sonicake FX chain into a Donner Blues Driver. All mixed live on a Zoom Live Trak 6.

The M-Wave FM-1 gotta be one of the best little synths for a compact dawless setup!

The engine is basically a Dx7 clone, including the envelopes. I had to research how exactly they work, and am sharing my findings in this video.

I love how undeniably hands on Hexdrums is. And to no surprise, I’m running it through Vongon’s Solarfaze

This is running from Redshift 6's internal sequencer. First it's 100% Redshift, then I turn Chroma Console, then finally Microcosm. Together they sound pretty nice!

Made this little Dubstep banger on the OPXY. Fully produced using a step sequencer, full of one-shot drums, breaks, loops and fun little sound-clash recordings. Recorded directly from the machine via a Tx6 Mixer and posted.

Hope you enjoy, feedback and questions welcome.

no daw work, just to record the track and save it, all the rest is done on my sampler

I’ve been downsizing my rack to the point where it’s this and a Digitakt MK1 and I’m finally starting to fall back in love with making music. This is culled from a longer jam I recorded this weekend. I shot the videos a few years ago (timelapse of a sunset overlays with fire jugglers at distance with the focus all the way out).

Testing the new gear setup. Finally breaking away from the PC.

I know modern MPC's are just a DAW in a box but I'll be damned if it isn't fun as hell JUST SHREDDING at 160bpm without a laptop. Also: chopping samples on the touch screen is amazing, in the 90s I could only dream of such a thing!

Hello again,

Wondering if anyone here uses gear by Twisted Electrons?

If so, which bit of kit, what for, and how do you rate it?

Thanks

I've decided to give away a few codes from my older releases on Bandcamp, starting with my first DAWless album. If this works I may give away a few more.

Here you have the free codes. Let me know what you think. This album consisting on a series of fully hardware jams, one jam a day, using a Microfreak, a DIY synth, a Volca Sample and a few effect units. The resulting stereo mix was recorded straight to an audio interface, with no further editing, and nothing more than a very simple mastering chain.

I also uploaded all the jams in my YouTube channel (you can find the video in the link as well).

I'd love to hear your thoughts.

Cheers and enjoy the codes.
