Unpolished Jam From Zero // Heppening

The immediacy and unpredictability of live music making is what draws me into making synth jams. In this jam I punch in a chord into the sequencer which triggers a patch with an arp on the Wavestate. Save move.
Then I try to loop a live Darabukka pattern, which goes well fortunately. This could easily go totally wrong. Just a little bit playing out of time and it won't groove.
In the middle of the jam I try to get a groovy synth pattern with the Bass Station 2 which totally isn't working well in the context of the music. After a bit of trying and seeing that it isn't working I decided to just move on. Also that arp pad sound I should have taken out soon after the intro.
This is where I am at with my jamming skills at the moment. Hit and miss and totaly not perfect but fun and exciting.
Gear:
Oxi One (Sequencer - DIN midi to all synths)
Launchpad Pro MK3 (mute/unmute, mixing, filter)
Faderfox EC4 (for FX)
Korg Wavestate
Korg Opsix
Dreadbox Nymphes
Novation Bass Station 2
Novation Circuit Rhythm
Arturia Drumbrute Impact
Ableton for mixing, routing the audio to OBS studio and some stock FX.

Nice build through the ham and I like the idea of the tactile percussion.

[@alexanderheppening]

Thank you. Playing live percs adds the extra excitement for me, because it isn't easiy for me to get a smooth loop running like this.

caught this on the HWJ live stream! i was plenty happy with the voluminous intro, and then was completely taken when you bust out the hand drum! 🔥 great jam from scratch mate, looking forward to hearing more, sounds like you focus on improv 👏 (i focus on unplanned improvisation as well, looking forward to learning from your videos)

[@alexanderheppening]

Thanks for stopping by mate. Happy to hear that. Hit me up anytime, if you have any question. I am not an expert by any means but this setup now does some tricks I was looking for. Took quite some time to figure out actually.

[@JDSoundsets]
