I was actually in the mood to work on some music for the first time in a while and just remembered that my drum machine can run on batteries, so I’m gonna sit in the garden for a bit and work on some beats. It’s a shame the lights on the buttons are a bit hard to see, though.

[Work In Progress] Pachelbel's Canon in D via Bermuda

I heard this in the early 1970s and always wanted to put my spin on it. My variation simplifies the 3 original violin and bass parts down to 2 MIDI Guitar parts, a Drum Machine and some Hand Percussion.
Johann Pachelbel (1653-1706), was a popular South German composer, organist, and teacher.

I'm no longer a Hydrasynth owner. It's a great synth and I'm sure I'll miss it to some degree, but it just never inspired me the way the opsix or Pigments does, and since I have both of those and they cover nearly identical territory, I decided to sell it a few months ago.

Well, didn't end up selling it (everyone is broke rn!), but I did end up trading it -- so now I have a Roland TR-8s instead.

Continuing #dawless today for another #jamuary2025 #music #track. Using a single sequencer this time, mostly to test my routing / wiring of my #modular #synth setup. Single take straight to 4 track #cassette. This #ambient minimalist piece is called Tranquille, french for tranquil or calm (or even solo, also applicable given i used one sequencer). A TR-606 drum machine complements the System 100m modules. #drummachine #soundcloud #jamuary #modularsynth #eurorack #tape

While the internet was down here, I spent some of the time I would've spent on internet activities playing with this Yamaha DD-55 drum machine I found at a 2nd hand store some time ago.

It's from around 2001, and I'm not sure how it was marketed, but it strikes me as a fancy toy more than a "pro" device. Reasons for this include the built-in speakers and pedals for controlling the kick and hihat sounds that are more like basic footswitches than drum pedals (cont.)
