Machine settings

If you read the chapters before, you know I lost all the settings of the machine and all the loops and samples I had uploaded on the software before, so I had to make it all over again but this time I did 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, to made (background sounds = Sound textures) on Ableton and uploaded in into the software, This time I started to make proper music styles and produce the tracks with spaces in between so I could use the kaossilator sounds and they do not crash.

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 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, 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 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 Gray (soundmagus) my friend samples and QPA Qubensis psy audio. You guys are brilliant but I have work and I know now I have a very unique psy trance sound because of your loops and samples.
This is a process on going ;) 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 (around 6) are my original tracks and they have been produced on Ableton and projected to be part of a live mix with the machine. (you will know more in the video)

6- AMBIENT

This is what I still working and I am not sure what I will do but time will tell it to 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 again early.

Yes, I lost all the samples I did 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... is all gone.
All the backgrounds and textures plus the drum patterns and some tracks I did upload in 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:

Because I lost all my work after the virus in the PC, I did install the software again and restarted from scratch.
I want to take thing 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 work with tower PCS because they have a PS2 connection and a normal soundcard connection. Without these connections the machine does not work, even using adaptors)

But... after I looked around for some time I found a solution to connect the laptop I have (Dell) to the machine, so I bought this 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 same bpm !?

The bpm moves up and down, so is not possible to get the loops playing at the same tempo !!

I don't know why... All looks fine and plays fine but the Drum loops don't stay stable in the bpms!

I know is ridiculous but I really don't know why this happens!

I installed and re-installed the program various times but always the same.

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

So...

In the next chapter, the truth will be revealed!!!

I will make a proper (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.
