I started with a bright piano patch using the NN-19 sampler and filled it out with an NN-XT synth patch. I enjoyed the <!--more-->way the two instruments interact with each other as they take turns carrying the melody. This interaction between the two parts help to create interest in a rather simple melody.<\/p>\n<p>The Beat itself was programmed using the two ReDrum machines. One ReDrum has only a few percussion hits, while the other carries the core beat. Instead of just programming the drums using the ReDrum step pattern sequencer, I actually performed them using trigger pads. This adds life to the performance giving it a more authentic drum feel, by recording the actual velocity changes in the performance.<\/p>\n<p>The bass was done using the Malstrom synth with quite a bit of grit added to it to give some edge that cuts the mix. I also recorded a mod wheel automation that opens the bass up at the end of the phrase.<\/p>\n<p>Finally, I am opening the loop with a pickup beat that uses two SubTractors to create some interesting texture. These effects are bussed to a delay to give them a huge sound and massive sustain.<\/p>\n<p>Please share your thoughts below.
