Settings...

Machine settings

If you read the chapters before, you know that I lost all the settings of the machine and all the loops and samples I had uploaded to the software before, so I had to recreate everything from scratch. However, this time I approached it differently.

I did (again) new tracks on Ableton to work in a machine as sound support, but this is all about evolution, so I have made things different now.

Instead, I made background sounds (sound textures) in Ableton and uploaded them into the software. This time, I started to create proper music styles and produce tracks with spaces in between, so I could use the Kaossilator sounds without them crashing.

I still need to make the new drum patterns in the machine. The first row is already made because I was producing some Dubstep last time and I wanted to listen to how it would sound, so I made some changes in the drum patterns on the machine in the first row, the other ones will come with time ;)

This setting will be changed, but for now, this is how I have the machine set up:

These are the styles I have decided to make...

1- DUBSTEP ----  (I can do 30 tracks of each music style, and I can do 6 different drum patterns for the 30  music styles in the machine only. ) Still, the only ones I have worked a bit with are the drum patterns of the machine

2- INDUSTRIAL

 Most parts of these samples and loops are taken from the first textures I did in Ableton on the first experiments with the machine ;)

3- PSY TRANCE

 Thanks, Mark Grey (Soundmagus), my friend, for the samples and QPA Qubensis psy audio. You guys are brilliant, but I have work, and I know now that I have a very unique psy trance sound thanks to your loops and samples.
This is a process ongoing ;) Thank you ;)

4- FSOL

 This sample was taken from some EPs. I cut the samples from the tracks and uploaded the best parts.

 ( for me)In the machine to loop and work on top.
HAA, Yes, you can call remix ;)
Samples were taken from various sources.

5- TRAX

This is experimental, industrial, mental, etc, and something more ;)
All the tracks I have uploaded (approximately 6) are my original compositions, produced using Ableton and intended to be part of a live mix with the machine. (You will know more in the video.)

6- AMBIENT

This is what I'm still working on, and I am not sure what I will do, but time will tell me... will he?

 Ok, next I will start the video chapters.

Update....

Disaster...

After all the work I did, I lost all my music settings and samples after a virus on my PC.

 For that reason, I didn't come back early.

Yes, I lost all the samples I had and all the drum patterns... everything!

Luckily, some loops I have saved in my Studio PC (where I make master and work with Ableton)

Doesn't matter, cry now... It's all gone.
All the backgrounds and textures, as well as the drum patterns and some tracks I had uploaded to the software, were gone.

I did get disappointed, but I didn't give up. I have been looking to get an old laptop (IBM) only to work with this machine and finally be mobile to make live shows, but... I HAVE A STORY FOR YOU:

Since I lost all my work due to the virus on my PC, I reinstalled the software and started from scratch.
I want to take things one step forward, so I decided to look for an (OLD IBM LAPTOP) because the old IBM laptops have the right connections to use with the machine (as you know from chapters before, this machine only works with tower PCS because they have a PS2 connection and a regular soundcard connection. Without these connections, the machine does not work, even using adapters.

However, after searching for a while, I found a solution to connect my laptop (Dell) to the machine, so I purchased it on eBay...

Brilliant, is it ???

It was... if the machine worked on it :( :( :(

It does work, but for some stupid reason, the drum loops don't keep the exact BPM.

The BPM fluctuates, so it's not possible to get the loops playing at the same tempo.

I don't know why... Everything looks and plays fine, but the Drum loops don't stay stable in BPM.

I know it's ridiculous, but I really don't know why this happens!

I installed and reinstalled multiple times, but the issue persisted.

I LOST MY DREAMS OF PLAYING LIVE WITH THIS MACHINE!!! 

(Unless I can take my PC to the stage, but that will look like a Jean Michel Jarre in concert)

No more live sessions !!

I did lose my expectations... I really want to make (WHATEVER)  from this machine.

I can always make home sessions 0, and that is what I want to show in the next chapter.

I will create a professional (Studio/Music) video.

This will be :

*VIDEO  0 - Sound introduction

* VIDEO 1 -  Play the track live

* VIDEO 2 -  Recording the individual sounds (drums/ percussions/ FX/ track)

* VIDEO 3 -  Add the sounds to Ableton

* VIDEO 4 -  Track construction

* MP3    - -   Track already made

Let's wait for the best.

Keep an eye on the DaDa Project Blog, I will be updating this shortly.
