  1. 01
    modular · berlin school territory100 bpm
    berlin school / cosmic · Klaus Schulze / Tangerine Dream · 1975

    100bpm 8th-note hypnotic sequence through the modular pulse-pad program in C minor. Klaus Schulze / Tangerine Dream / late-70s Berlin school DNA. delay + plate on by default — the FX are half the genre.

    dub · lee scratch territory76 bpm
    jamaican dub / roots reggae · Lee Scratch Perry · 1976

    76bpm. sparse 909 (kick 1, snare 3) + sustained moog sub on 1 of each bar. delay carries the song — that's the whole lesson. delay + plate on by default. drive optional for that ratty bbd character.

    C64 SID · rob hubbard territory140 bpm
    8-bit / chiptune · Rob Hubbard / Martin Galway · 1985

    140bpm 16th-note pentatonic lead through the C64 SID chip. fast, repetitive, in-your-face — Rob Hubbard / Martin Galway video-game-soundtrack DNA. no FX by default — the SID's own character is the texture.

    grandmother · dub jam78 bpm
    kingston dub · King Tubby / Lee Scratch Perry territory · 1975

    78bpm dub pocket with the moog grandmother on sub-bass duty. 909 kick on 1 + snare on 3, hat lift on the and-of-4. delay + plate on so the snare blooms into the next bar. swap moog→hookesub via the override panel to hear nick's actual analog grandmother on the bass.
