You sure channeled the minimal techno vibe here. Awesome track. Loved the dirty filtered snare 🥰😎

Thank you. ☺️ Would you believe the kick and snare are all one instance of Dublin? I simply automated the white noise level. 😉

senhorlampada

I do believe! Awesome work, my friend.

I don't know about you, but I feel like diving back into doing this challenge again with another track. London, Marseille, and Dublin should be MORE than enough to make something epic with, lol.

It's a good time to do it again
I'm in...

Painful yet fun challenge!

Indeed it is a painful yet fun challenge, but I think I managed to pull it off.

Besides the gadgets (London, Marseille and Dublin) what are the other limitations from LE? Regarding FX, mainly...
I've been struggling and trying to study EQ + Mix... Was working on a few stuff and I see I put too many elements and muddy up my mixes. I'm slowly getting better, but not that good yet

I kind of forgot we were doing this again. I'll start working on a new one then.
Listening to yours now, mate

Good thread. @rs2000 is your second track mastered/EQed or direct out of Gadget? Sounds lush.

Some people think Gadget = EDM so I did a little jazz groove
YouTube or Soundcloud, you choose.

I love how you name part lists in Gadget. Remind me of of the names of layers in Photoshop documents I am creating

You mean the copy 2, copy 3 etc?
Gadget automatically adds that when copying a ‘scene’.

Challenged accepted. I confess I did cheat a little. Marseille does include a Clavinet preset, but the clav in the Firenze gadget sounded so much better, so sorry, I couldn’t bring myself to use an inferior clav, when a better one was at hand.

You have blown my mind! Sure you "cheated" a little, but the results are mega! ❤️‍🔥 That was incredible, and you performed it on the touch screen? Miss Apptitude, you are definitely without a doubt one of the best musicians here (and not just within the realms of iOS).

I'm also a sucker for Jazz and Funk, and this made my night. Also your nails are lovely. 💅 Just wanted to point that out.

I was gonna give it a try but there’s no way to compete with that

No need to compete mate. Just have some fun with the challenge. ☺️ But yeah, Ms. Apptitude has certainly blown our minds.

Thanks so much everyone! You are too kind. This is very rough. Because I wanted to do video, I was committed to the unforgiving march of live/real time. You have to just keep forging ahead. Keep the fingers moving. You can’t go back!

I did a couple of different live-improv takes like this. I don’t know if this was the best of them. They all had certain things to like about them, along with other glaring flaws. But this was the last take I did.

I’m enjoying everyone’s entries! Keep ‘em coming. Brutal two-week heat wave over here. Gadget makes a nice low-concentration diversion. I may attempt another one. Never even got to Dublin!

There's no time limit on this challenge? The original post is from June 2021 and people are still playing. :-)

Nope no time limit. I may make another piece soon but it will show up on my upcoming Korg Gadget EP.
