Someone was looking for an easy way to switch Ableton Live Preferences.cfg files for multiple midi configurations, so I was bored and decided to make it happen… It’s fairly simple to setup, just carefully follow the instructions.

That will probably be the last one for awhile, while I rethink my direction.

I’ve decided that I’m going to sporadically upload WIP versions of tracks, that I hope to include in my next release, up on http://shuutobi.bandcamp.com.

I would really appreciate any comments, suggestions and/or general feedback.
Some things are just meant to be, but if you love something or hate something… Let me know!

I will be releasing another track later this week. Stay tuned…

I will be taking my sweet time with this one admittedly and so far the sound is more dynamic, organic and imperfect… Just how I like it. :)

In the video Becky Stern makes a furry scorpion out of an ATMEGA168 based robot kit.

I have come up with a solution with the Filter Delay.

I will assume everyone knows what the sub kick trick is and when it is necessary to use it, so with out further ado I will just present this trick as a handy little screenshot.

Filter Delay Settings:

  • L+R  ON
  • Filter ON
  • Filter Freq @ 50Hz
  • Q @ .50
  • Delay set to Time @ 20ms (This is the 50hz wavelength)
  • Feedback set to 0
  • Pan to the center
  • Leave dry volume @ 0dB
  • Adjust delay volume to taste, but use 0dB as a starting point and go from there.

Anywho enjoy!

One track a day for 31 days…
(Thanks to ProletSoft for the “GoMinimal!” text2midi application…)
