An ambient session for you all, with an ominous weird feeling that I cannot explain,, no idea what it is .. the track is just odd.
Anyways.. I accidentally left some of the other synths on while setting things up.. or an FX on something which was not used so there are significant background hissing noises going on. Even though it's noisy I did not want to scrap the tune.. i needed to share it so here it is.
Main lead is on the ms-20, i swap VCO2 between 8' and 4' for different styles plus that i have HPF filter resonance on 2 o'clock, so I can work the HPF filter for added textures for the lead sound.
On the reface CP I recorded a loop, on 1/2 speed, reverse in the tc electronic X2 looper, CSIDMAN gives some granular delays, reverse relay in the particle plus a pretty huge reverb in the bluesky.
Blofeld does some arpeggiated percussion, modulated pretty heavily in the synth, plus that the arpegiattor is set to trigger some of the notes on random so it does not really repeat itself. A simple delay and a plate reverb from the eventide space and timeline.
NLA1 does a simple pad, with built in FX, filter controlled by an expression pedal on the floor.
Gear list:
Nord Lead A1, KORG ms-20 mini, Yamaha Reface CP, waldorf blofeld
FX:
Strymon el Capistan, bluesky, timeline, Eventide space, red panda particle, catalinbread CSIDMAN, tc electronics ditto X2 looper
Enjoy!

![BURG1k Hardware Jam Group Challenge [Challenge Ended on 12/5]](https://i.ytimg.com/vi/QqyJr6Y-LKY/mqdefault.jpg "BURG1k Hardware Jam Group Challenge [Challenge Ended on 12/5]
This challenge has Ended on 2018-12-05, thanks for all submissions!
The main idea of this challenge is to give others insight and inspiration of what they can get for 1000USD, also what the setup could potentially sound like.
My music:
Bandcamp ► https://music.ollilab.com/
Spotify ► https://open.spotify.com/artist/5lPHagff7SG960LQZfva9Q
The total cost of gear should NOT exceed 1000 USD
The cost should be for ALL music gear used, synths, FX pedals etc
Video and Audio recorder units, Mixing console and cables, peripherals are excluded from the total cost calculations
A complete list of the gear, items used is mandatory in the post detailing the total cost.
Please remember for your own submissions, videos are easier to review should there be any questions regarding the actual use of equipment, so if you know that your track will sound complex, a video is recommended.
Also, try and keep your track below or around 5 minutes, there will be a lot of music for all of us to review and listen to.
