Drew05 Posted April 18, 2007 Share Posted April 18, 2007 Hi guys, I have just started using Microbe ( http://www.chocopoolp.com/mi_index.php ) and I am really enjoying using the 303-esque engine to create patterns which can be filter swept to the heavens and back. I am wondering if you guys have any tips on how to program a good acid riff? Straight 16th notes seems to be the standard rhythm, but are there any scales or other note progressions you find work well? Are your acid patterns usually 1 bar loops, or longer? thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drew05 Posted April 18, 2007 Author Share Posted April 18, 2007 so far i have found that having the notes progress up and down rhythmically provides a pleasing noise, espeically tie-ing the second last note so that it 'slides' upwards into the loop again Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Amygdala Posted April 18, 2007 Share Posted April 18, 2007 Yep, gliding between notes is (for me) the essence of acid... Along with a lot of resonance and distortion of course. - Enable protamento and glide hither and fro -A Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
