I had one last little jam sesh with the Crave before returning it to my friend, Jes Rai. Here is one song/melody/idea I was playing with, edited down to the juicy bits. No bassline, unfortunately... just some drums and trippy synth loops on the Kaoss Pad. I tried to sing at one point, but it was meh.

The drums are coming from the SamplerBox (Raspberry Pi 3B), triggered via USB MIDI by the Keystep sequencer. I manually play the Crave on a different MIDI channel via the Keystep's Kbd Play mode and sample loops of it on the Kaoss Pad. Then, I completely morph & mangle the loops by resampling with added effects. Fun stuff!

Part 2 is arguably better: youtu.be/W05SuBHWl9c

I do a lot of beatboxing and drum & bass stuff, but I like to dabble in a bit of everything. I draw a lot of inspiration from classic 8-bit video game music. (Nintendo every day after school as a kid!)
