Hello,

I'm from a DJ'ing background and prefer to play live and record tracks
by keeping everything as live as possible. Think of Richie Hawtin using
locked groove drum loop records and this kind of thing to make a hybrid
between DJ'ing and on-the-fly original track creation. I know Ardour and
Jack. I can create totally presequenced productions but find that takes
away my spontaneity. Are there examples out there of these kind of set
ups ?  I need as many examples as possible for encouragement if nothing
else. I did start using Hydrogen to drive external drum synths, like
Yoshimi that can make drum and percussion sounds, but the Hydrogen
controls are set up for altering the included sample sets and don't do
anything to the MIDI output. I suppose I'm trying to recreate the
immediacy and spontaneity that using original hardware 808/909/sampler
set ups used to be able to create. Another example was the immediate
accessibility of Propellerhead Rebith 303. It has a good real time 303
implementation but all the percussion was sample based, which I want to
move away from. I've found creating a drum in Yoshimi sounds *much*
richer and more dynamic than samples. So what are you using out there ?
Screen shots ?

Peace

Hi Barney,

You need to check out Superdirt², I think it's quite close to what
you're aiming at: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5YAFu7hgbE0
And yes, that's Hydrogen running on the notebook.

Best,

Jeremy




That's a great example ! They do a very good job of striking the balance between sequenced percussion and live instruments which is quite a difficult balance to strike. I would have put more composition of the percussion in but that's my stylee not Superdirt stylee. If you listen to some the original german trance/techno on labels like Harthouse they use a lot of subtle percussion composition, build ups, break downs and so forth. I proved to myself in the 1990's that it was possible to do this live using the software Rebirth. I never got back to implementing this until recently (long story).
