Roland SP-404 MK2 / 'beat-less' ambient drone
Just a quick demo of some out-of-the-box 404 techniques I've been working on, using the internal Sound Generator for ambient experiments.
The chain is simple:
Sound Generator - Chromatic PS - Cloud Delay - 303 Vinyl Sim - Super Filter
*apologies for the crackles and hum. I left the external input engaged with a synth and turntables sitting there. You can actually hear my arm hitting things. It sounded kinda cool, so I left it in.

HOT TIP: The TR-style sequencing doesn't allow you to record without quantizing, but here a little workaround. Turn the delay FX into a tempo-synced audio looper inside the Roland TR-8S.
How to create that Dilla feel on the Roland TR-8S
zhlédnutí 16KPřed 4 lety
Although the Roland TR-8S does record unquantized patterns, here's a way to put more sloppy human feel in the machine. This is how to get that lo-fi hip-hip feel without finger drumming. 1.73913043 is the magic number for beats. The technique can also work on other devices. More videos coming soon.

    • @cooloutbeats
      @cooloutbeats Před 3 měsíci

      You have to space out the pattern. For instance instead of your snares (on the 2 and the 4) being on steps 5 and 13 of a SINGLE variation -- after you shorten to 14 and speed up the tempo, your snares would need to be on step 8 of TWO chained variations to make the same 2 and 4. It's pretty simple.

    • @maniandthenonos9493
      @maniandthenonos9493 Před 3 měsíci

      @@JoseAyalaHoffmann Thanks for the kind words, José!! Basically, you actually have to make a 2x14 step pattern as if it were a 16 step pattern. So in other words, make a 28 (2x14) step basic pattern instead of your regular 16 step pattern. You "spread" your 16 steps over 28 steps. That way a 160 bpm tempo feels more like 90ish bpm or so. In practice, let's say you start with a "four on four" to make it simple and even if this technique applies clearly more to hip hop than EDM. Instead of placing your kick on steps 1, 5, 9, 13, you would "transpose to 28 steps or rather 2x14", meaning your kick would be on steps 1 and 8 on both 14 step patterns. Or steps 1, 8, 15 and 22 if you see it as a 28 step pattern. One of the advantage of the 28 (2x14) step pattern is that it creates more room on the sequencer for your hi-hat steps to be a bit off balance. Same applies to kick and snare. You got a bit more leeway to create that off-the-grid feel. The idea is to spread your 16 steps over 28 steps, so when you set the tempo at 150 or 160 bpm, it actually feels much slower with some added bounce. A bit like adding shuffle to a regular 16 step pattern except here you get to create that shuffle manually, on your terms. And you can still add some shuffle on top (we did). Hope it helps. By the way, we lowered our track tempo to 147 as it felt 160 was a bit rushed. The result probably sounds and feels like a 87 bpm tempo. It's more or less a trick to make your TR-8S or TR-6S sound a bit drunker and looser than it wants to be.

    Excellent tip. I would encourage TR-8S owners to read the manual and download the PDF reference manual. Unlike the TR-8 "manual" this one is very good. I know quite a few professional musicians who never touch a manual, but they are pro's who might drop 2k on a piece of kit just to use a couple of presets, but if this is not you, read the manual.

I looked all throughout the manual and I understand you can apply the effects to mastering and also to the mic input but I couldn't find anything about the instrument input and if you can apply the effects in real time. It would be amazing because there's all kinds of Boss pedals in this thing. Thanks again
