confessions of an acid addict

[haesslich]

there's a dark shadow in anybody. mine is that i love 303 clones.
the funny thing is, that i don't produce acid music, or dance tracks at all. at least not very often, and if so then it's just for entertainment, without any further musical ambition.
i just love this sound.
while i'm not at all interested in the original 303 machine itself, because of it's clumsy programming, i'd love to get a pair of each clone. it's just too much money to justify this. i've 3 clones at the moment, an acidlab bassline v1, a v2, and a x0xb0x.
and i don't dare to sell even one of them because i fear i might miss it soon.
i feel very bad.

the recent TM404 album by andreas tilliander is really floating my boat at the moment. such nice music with a bunch of 303s and related tm machines!

the album songs were all recorded in one take too apparently.

I listened to a couple of tracks from that album. It's pretty much the same as the early Plastikman was, isn't it?

By the way, totally acid unrelated:
I got the x0xb0x flashed with MarOS, an alternate operating system. It adds a few brilliant features for random pattern variations.
You can, for example, let random notes from a pattern pitched up and down, with adjustable probability, have pauses or slides added, also with adjustable probability. and then let these new variations occur every second, third, fourth, you name it repetition of the pattern.
the probabilities can be adjusted during playback.
spits out midi as well, so you can record these variations and use them for other machines too.
instant arpeggio madness

for me, as someone not using ableton live / max4live or reaktor it's so much fun to break up the linearity of cubase with this.
