Why
did you choose this remix |
|
Actually wanted to remix 'Sunday'
or 'Choice', but achieved no satisfying results. Played the
'Midnight' chord sequence just for fun then, and then had
the idea what rhythm to use. Spontaneous choice !

What
style of Orbital do you wish to hear in the future: |
|
Brown Orbital, i.e. the more
rhythmic, abstract sound.

Equipment
/ Software Used |
|
I just use a digital Roland XP-50
workstation with two expansion boards, and the flowing sound
comes from the effect sequence, which offers 40 different
effects (several delay, distortion, overdrive, flanger...
effects). The problem is that I can only use one effect at
one time, the new XP-80 allows to use different effects for
different tracks. By the way, I used the phaser effect with
quite a long rate, hence the dynamical sound. I'm mostly using
my own sounds (especially the basslines), or change preset
sounds in a way that I can change their 'colour' in realtime.
My dream would be to use a Roland JD-800, which offers great
possibilities to change the sound while playing, just like
those good old analogue synths.
