Do you even hardware jam? (pg. 3)

I got a Roland D2 Groovebox off Ebay. It's going to be the 4th or 5th one I've ever owned I keep losing them pawnshops I hope to keep this one around for a long time.

I think it might be cool if there was a thread where we could post our efforts of live/improv/jam stuff.

I'm just about happy with my little setup (as far as it can go here) so I need to start practicing the live stuff now.

In the spirit of the thread I think it's ok to prepare midi and samples, but probably a good idea to veer away from tracks created with hardware and then mixed later.

I've been doing a few attempts over the last couple of months and I'm still not very good at all, but I just bought myself an APC so I'll try and do better with that!

Here's a short little 'thing' I did using the bloody mouse click method in Ableton Live. It's a bit crap, but it's a start!




Love how clear and present the synths sound here without squashing out the drums, great sound and thanks for this thread.

I made live hardware 'track' (more a long loop really) a month back but now just have the WAV of it staring at me and don't know where to take it, if I remember I will post it up. Was made using my Roland JDxa using it's in built sequencer. So much fun to do.

Mate when Nosferatu gets going around 2.30, the groove is insayane! And when the snare and then the hats drop in it's sounds calm Man. Fuk I would like to work with that.

I didn't really think the Avalon sounded that nice until you whacked the res up, then it really did sound nice.
Raphie
Thnx, yes there are some duller parts in there, but is has some excellent sweetspots, which are revealed later, the combo with the MF-104M is heaven for me, at times the right filter and delay is really hypnotizing
Raphie
and a new jam: A4 + RYTM + Avalon

tehlord
I like that, very progressive.

I kinda regret selling my Rytm, but then I think about Live and I don't any more.
Raphie
The RYTM presets suck, but once you get the hang of the engine, you can create great liquid not so resonant sounds.
Veverka
Raphie, where did you get the Avalon, and how did you obtain a proper power cord (assuming it has an American one by default)? I'm interested in buying one as well.

Raphie
Ordered from Abstrakt directly, they ship with worldwide adapter and euro cord.

QUESTION;

What software product would allow me to trigger samples (from my own library) for use in 'machine gun' risers where by I can speed up, or slow down the triggering at will?

To be clear, I want to for example trigger a snare sample, starting slowly and then building right up in speed in a linear fashion of my choosing.

I DO NOT mean the old way of triggering a sample at say 4, then 16, then 32 etc. I want total control and not to be bound by standard time signature
