DAWless Techno Improv [Syntakt + M8 Tracker + Octatrack]

Apr 26

Here's a little techno improvisation from today, with little preparation. I've had the Dirtywave M8 tracker for a couple months now but I never explored the MIDI sequencing option, so I decided to give it a try. All the melodic sequences are randomly generated and sent from the M8 to the Syntakt, which is also doing all the drum work. The Octatrack is there for performance effects and mastering (thx EZBOT!). To be honest, I liked this dynamic, so I might upload more things like these in the future :)
