#Jamuary2024 Langton’s Ant Sequencer Jam - & Launchpads, Volca FM, Volca Bass, Volca Drum and NTS-1
The Teensy is running a version of Langton’s Ant to determine the colour of the squares on the Launchpads. As the sequence increments (see blue pad for sequence position) the NTS-1 is playing notes based on the Ants y position (Red pad). The Volcas are playing notes based on the white and black pads.

Posting this one early for the third (still the 2nd here for about 3 hours or so), have had unbelievable trouble with a DAW laptop of mine for the past few weeks - trying to get it going, unistalling/re-installing - to no avail. This one is all ipad, direct into Soundforge in another machine. Ugh. computers can be a real pain.

Cool crazy sounds. Nice beats. A fun listen…
@Expensive_Notes This was so cool to watch! My stoned ass forgot what I was doing. Really cool beat and enjoyed zoning out to it!
@Gubna Enjoyed this jam. Love the industrial feel and the different sounds you used.

Day 3! Let’s Go! Seriously, how is everyone hanging in? Any burnout yet? Mental Health Check, we can do this do!
Anyway, today I went for a chill vibe. Hope you guys enjoy this one and can’t wait to listen to your jams!

Certainly got that chilled feeling! Nice one.
Even a few Jazz notes! 
Hope the “jazz” notes didn’t ruin it 
Of course not! The trick is to play them again, then people think it’s on purpose! 
Something old, something new…
What I did: I opened the first pattern I created on my Model: Cycles (right after I bought it, almost 3 years ago) , and made something new with it.
@90bpm of course

Nice jam for today! Really hypnotic jam
Ashamed and cautious—just where my mood’s at today.

This one made me super UNCOMFY but I’m glad I was able to finish it: Jan 3.mp3
The “something old” is the Say It Ain’t So progression (Weezer) that I play all the time (though never at this speed) and the “something new” is a keyboard patch I’ve never used. Oh and everything is both “old and new” in that it’s going through one of those shitty lo-fi filters that everyone uses nowadays.
Drums are kinda all over the place, but I tried to keep my time limit (30 minutes of recording a day, 30 minutes for cleanup and uploading).

Time to mix some love for oldschool gaming and put a new synth to work!
Jamuary 03 - Something old/something new!
Any oldschool gamers can guess the vibes that inspired this jam?

Cool music. Sorry I have no idea about games, too old for that scene…
Well done!

A similar setup from yesterday:
Arturia Beatstep driving the Landscape Noon.
Sparse notes on the Korg NTS-1 with delay and reverb.
Everything going through the Tiny Orchestra patch running on the Empress ZOIA.
Careful: there are some loud resonant noises, make sure the volume is not too high.
Tomorrow I’ll try to record a video. I’m still in quarantine (still testing positive after a week of COVID), so my setup is a bit limiteed.

A little sketch I put together during my commute to and from work. All iOS on this one, using Riffer and a bouncing ball sequencer.
The “something old” in this case is the footage from a ponderosa pine forest in Oregon that I filmed years ago, processed using EFEKT for iOS.
Enjoy!

Fun little groove, practicing not going overboard on the punch-in fx on the EP133 (still more work to do there, lol).
Made with the new EP-133 and the old OP-1.
