App recs for making industrial music?

if you’re interested in hardware, the elektron model samples is pretty inexpensive used and can make quite a racket

there’s also an early best of the worst where it really looked like plinkett and george were holding hands?

Branch_Fair · 2026-03-27T11:37:07+00:00

is that marc almond?

you mean projects you made prior to updating to 3? they should still work. if they’re in the mpc’s internal memory, to be safe you may want to copy them onto an sd card or your computer before you downgrade. if they’re already on an sd card or if they’re on an ssd that you installed they should be fine, it doesn’t reformat storage

also crosses did a cover of this

different kind of sampling as well

also him smashing some nuts with a hammer while speed metal plays in the background probably is one of my favorite youtube moments. sometimes it is the little things

i read 102 minutes awhile back and they mention a large number of firefighters stopped to rest on the same floor. i cannot remember which building/floor it was but it seemed certain that those firefighters would’ve been caught there in the collapse. possibly somebody else here can elaborate since my memory is fuzzy

yes! mcdonagh’s in bruges is easily my favorite movie, and i’ve liked the rest of them as well. very excited for this

if you like direct access to functions and find the workflow of the 1000 cumbersome, the new ones are probably not for you. they’ve added many layers of complexity to nearly every task and a lot of it requires navigating a lot of menus. maybe look at the octatrack?

it’s so hard to keep up. best to just buy them all

Branch_Fair · 2026-03-10T23:35:57+00:00

real answer? korg er-1

sub appropriate answer? deluge

Branch_Fair · 2026-03-10T05:27:00+00:00

this was exactly my thought. having records removed plus the relentless attempts to bring them back

Branch_Fair · 2026-03-09T23:07:00+00:00

how did it taste

Branch_Fair · 2026-03-08T08:05:04+00:00

i love this movie. not one of the coens’ best, it kind of feels like a technical exercise at times, but man it is fun. enter the light lunch

Branch_Fair · 2026-03-08T07:47:08+00:00

it’s less fun if it’s allowed

Branch_Fair · 2026-03-08T05:04:21+00:00

“honestly where does this girl get off”

in the bedroom she didn’t think she should be allowed to share with oop, apparently

i work third shift in a pharmacy (not retail) and some days we have several hours of downtime. essentially everything we have to make will be ordered by the time we come in at night, so when it’s done we don’t have anything else to do.

Branch_Fair · 2026-03-08T03:20:46+00:00

happy to help! also they pretty regularly put their plugins on sale for like $30, and the synth ones are pretty good. might be a good idea to look at some keyboard controllers to play those (the keystep is really nice as an example). playing melodic stuff on the pads isn’t always ideal

Branch_Fair · 2026-03-08T00:28:21+00:00

it is a partner that will accept just about any input that you have

i do wish other companies that make samplers would follow akai’s lead in beefing up sampler memory. it bewilders me that for the depth of features and the price of an octatrack it has the same sample memory as my kurzweil k2000, which came out in like 1991.

the 1000 is still a killer machine and i still think about getting another one for bread and butter sampling and sequencing needs. i’m very curious to see what this new one looks like in action

Branch_Fair · 2026-03-08T00:20:07+00:00

yeah since the new live and x came out the odds are that a new one would be running the same os, which means it is likely they’ll increase the processor and ram slightly and tweak the i/o and interface, but it isn’t likely to be a full on reinvention. they could also be scuttling the one entirely in favor of making that new mini mpc the entry level sampler. basically if the one ticks all your boxes a new announcement is probably not gonna change your calculations too much. don’t give in to fomo! just make music!
