More than plenty of humanesque grooves with pre-washed, pre-shrunk, pre-faded audio textures. When you need to add the hop into the night, go shopping for something orange.

What I did was spent a while re-tuning my timing for real time play, and I think I got it tightened just enough. Basically, all tracks are non-quantized or very weakly quantized, and I think it left a great natural sounding groove. Bongos, cowbells, you name it, it's played with sampletank.

microtonic for drums, sampletank2 for samples, cubase a1 synth for synth sounds.

Ken,

You never cease to amaze!

Hi Ken,

I'm staggered that you can get such an individual bass sound out of a soft synth. Generally, the more I listen and fiddle with soft synths the less I like them. I guess I'm not a programmer. Nice one! I always like listening to your music.

hehe, well, I think it's more the mixing than anything else.

For this bass it's a combination of ER + stereo enhancer + overdrive. The ER is used to create reflections for low frequencies, like below 150. Then, stereo enhancer refocuses the sound to a near mono state. Overdrive just brings the power back in the sound as stereo enhance takes some of it away.

I'd use the CW synths any day, but it's a drag just to do the routing.

Come come now. You're just being lazy, Ken.

Sorry ken, but what is "ER"? Scuse my ignorance...

early reflections. I sometimes use it just for not so much "space", but just a slight ambience.

Ken I agree about the SFP GUI. It is a great concept but annoying. Propellerheads did it the right way with Reason. I wish I could use the Creamware hardware and synths with a Reason interface. I wish Creamware would copy it or Propellerheads would buy Creamware and create a special Creamware edition of Reason.
