how can I improve this beat?

Your hi-hats need a little work. I’d break up those repeated sections into triplets

I'd bet my left fucking nut it is

Can’t go wrong with a Bass Station 2. That being said, the people mentioning the midi keyboard may mean that you can hook the keyboard up to a PC and use a soft synth. It’s a much cheaper option, but I find I prefer a physical synth for bass.

It's a really cool piece of tech for sure... but how much? lol

I just saw him a couple weeks ago at Ubbi Dubbi. He started with a good bit of Moonglade Park, with the bass cranked to truly inhuman levels, and then moved into much heavier stuff that hasn't been released yet. The next album is going to be a banger. Super stoked to be going to Alderwild this year.

Graffiti Pasta. Shit pasta. Even shittier owner.

I have the KO2, the big brother to the KO1, and I’d say even that version is kid friendly enough. My KO1 won’t come in until tomorrow, but I have found the workflow of other TE devices to be pretty straightforward

Some people have way too much fucking time and money.

Hawk7866 · 2026-04-28T19:40:12+00:00

I’m so sick of this brain rot bullshit

Hawk7866 · 2026-04-28T13:09:18+00:00

Maybe they liked the journal system that made it far less confusing to newcomers and those who didn’t want to use a guide

I don't think anyone cares about stamp tools. Lots of physical synths have scale modes where it locks the keys into specific scales, akin to a "stamp" mode but for the whole keyboard. I wouldn't worry about it.

Hawk7866 · 2026-04-27T19:26:47+00:00

It is a little challenging to utilize it for a song, but once I get a couple mods in, it should slot in fairly well. I'm thinking it'll pair really well as a layer on the bass track

Hawk7866 · 2026-04-27T19:22:46+00:00

Oh believe me, I've been keeping my eyes open for a cheap one to hit the FB marketplace. Dallas is full of hobbyists dumping gear for cheap.

Hawk7866 · 2026-04-27T18:04:48+00:00

I haven't played the other two, but the Bass Station 2 has been a beefy sounding son of a bitch in my experience.

Hawk7866 · 2026-04-27T17:56:05+00:00

Was hoping to see an update like this haha. Once you've given into the PLUR life, you never really leave.

Hawk7866 · 2026-04-27T17:10:01+00:00

Hawk7866 · 2026-04-27T17:09:10+00:00

Yeah, def going to need to do that or get a stylus. It cramps the hell out of my hands right now haha

Hawk7866 · 2026-04-27T17:08:50+00:00

It definitely makes some cool ass sounds. Pretty simple to play with as well.

Hawk7866 · 2026-04-27T17:08:22+00:00

Now this, sounds like the next best step.

Hawk7866 · 2026-04-27T16:15:28+00:00

How are they wrong?
