Alcofribas Posted September 25, 2012 Report Share Posted September 25, 2012 they take a bunch of pads and filter them through an oscilloscope. Then they print them out after downloading them. Vintage. So then they go downstairs to the basement and just chill. And that's how a 'chre is done.

I think they use a ton of granular techniques (e.g. take a sample, loop a very small portion of it, play it at various speeds, filter it, modulate it in various ways, etc). Honestly, I think that accounts for a good portion of the insanity. For instance: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z1RrVa_axRY And obviously they do plenty of familiar techniques as well. Gantz Graf just sounds like a digital delay with automated delay time. I achieved a remarkably similar effect in this track of mine: http://pselodux.band.../track/fourside Pretty similar to granular stuff I guess. But considering how damn easy it was to pull off with just a simple delay effect..

Was trying to figure out why it was so familiar and then I realised you released it as Modex too...

sweepstakes Posted September 25, 2012 Report Share Posted September 25, 2012 Yes they are very similar. Depending on the delay algorithm (i.e. whether it interpolates the circular buffer or just changes its end/rotation point) and how high the feedback is set, I think they can actually be identical. There's aspects of this that make me think it could be either, but I would be really surprised if it wasn't at least one or the other (maybe both).

modey Posted September 25, 2012 Report Share Posted September 25, 2012 Yeah both is certainly a possibility!

Or that if you were actually trying to imitate them, and not just enrich your understanding of both Autechre and your gear (and audio techniques in general), that you should start by acquiring the same stuff they use? sometimes i have the opposite problem where i sound like them without meaning to on gear they probably wouldn't use. it gets in the way.

I know how you feel. I've been accused of being their padawan (just a few tracks)...I love them the most but want to have my own path.

I don't drink so I'm useless on NYE and such occasions. One of my favorite Ae tracks (as much for nostalgia as anything) is "Montreal." The bass is FM. The drums are flanged (and hella bit-reduced) Alot of the character comes from the 12bit-ness of early sampler keyboard workstations.
