Week 27 - Dank Receptor - Comrade Deflection
from WeeklyBeats.com - Music RSS Feed · host Dank Receptor
In my ongoing series of "why make it easy when you can make it hard" I decided to learn defMON today. Spent most of the day in trial & error mode and ended up with a short and very basic acid/electro jam. I did manage to figure out quite a lot of defMON details along the way, however. - Got comfortable with the SID registers - Figured out the sidTAB table and its timing, primitive filter envelopes, etc - Observed how janky the timing gets under certain conditions, and how effective some workarounds are (first and foremost avoiding a couple of values in the ADSR) Anyway, this was great fun! I look forward to jamming more in defMON, and hopefully I'll make something slightly more captivating next time. :P Programmed and performed on a Commodore 64 Ultimate, recorded live through a Mackie mixer w/built in FX. Slightly mastered in Ableton. ┌▄───────┐ ┌▄───────┐┌▄─┐ ┌──┐ │·▓┌─────┘┌┘·┌──────┘│▓.│ │▓·│ │▒▒│ │▒▒└─────┐ │·▒└──┘▒▒│ │░░│ │░░┌───┐░└┐└─────┐░░│ │══└─────┐└┐═└───┘═┌┘ │══│ └────────┘ └───────┘ └──┘ 2026 Copyright All rights reserved
