Jam number eleven!
Started with some percussion on the Bento.
Then got the main chords playing my Rhodes through a Mercury X and Chroma Console.
Melody / harmony added in the second half is Argon 8 through the Mercury X.
Vocal sample chops on the Bento, edited further in Ableton.
Beefy drums & 808s added in Ableton.
Squelchy synth made with Ableton’s Operator, sent through layers of drive / saturation / multiband comp / Blackhole / very short convolution reverb / more multiband comp.

I’ve been slacking on the jams and got distracted by shiny things this weekend. Figured I’d share since it’s pretty closely related.
My space is wired up to record everything that gets played through it and last year I wrote some software that stores, normalizes, slices, dices, and categorizes the segments with machine learning. It now has a website in front of it and finding something is already 10x faster than digging through folders of 80mb files with timestamps for filenames.

Hello! First time participating in Jamuary, although I did participate in Genuary last year with audio/visual pieces.
Here is my first attempt at matching both Jamuary and Genuary prompts in the same piece:
Genuary 11 Prompt: Quine. A Quine is a form of code poetry, it’s a computer program that outputs exactly its own source code.
^ Was nice to be able to use the “Sage” color idea from Jamuary within the visual part

That looks really slick. You don’t want to keep wavs? What are you using for the waveform display?
Made with: OPXY (brains, drums), OP1 (glitchy tombola), ONA (bass), Plaits (lead). EricaSynths Dual FX, Oxi Meta, Disting EX (granulator). Mixed down on the ES9 and TX-6 (compression, reverb).

Love the sounds on this. So much cool gear. Must be a lot of fun! 
This was a hard one. Did several jams but didn’t get into the flow. Finally i decided this morning to publish this recording.

Wavs just take up so much space, heh, and since I’m recording the end of my signal chain I figured it wasn’t pristine anyway. I have been thinking about linking it to the mixer and recording stems though.
The top waveform is the audio player (https://wavesurfer.xyz/) The smaller ones are SVG that I generate when they get first split.
btw, I dug your video! The wiggly text made my brain itch in a good way.

I started this on 11 January but wasn’t happy with it, so I’ve gone back to it a couple of weeks later and tried to make it work.
