I'm still pretty new to this but here's a jam, playing with my Syntakt, Crave, and TD-3-MO.
It's pretty random, and at times quite abrasive, I had no plan and just experimented with sounds to see where it goes. Some of it worked, some of it didn't work, but muh. Missed loads of cues, mispressed loads of clicky Crave buttons at wrong times, neglected changing the drums much, and didn't really use the Syntakt as much as I should have, but it's all practice.
The camera placement was rather unfortunate. I was hoping to capture what I'm doing for future reference, but instead captured some good shots of the back of my head. Enjoy!
I actually played for an hour and a half, but Bitwig, which I was using solely for recording the Syntakt's master output, crashed 45 minutes in... I had to hex-edit the corrupt WAV header to get any audio back... Exported through a limiter and no other processing of any sort.
The lost part of this is available here, recorded through my phone's microphone, if anyone is curious where I took it from there: youtu.be/MfmrfYIJ9pQ
The Crave and TD-3-MO are fed into the Syntakt's inputs and routed through the FX block, which is set up to duck just after the kick, giving an effect similar to a side chain compressor.
I exclusively used the arpeggiator on the Crave, as it's very handy for throwing chords and even single notes to and have it repeat, the ducking from the Syntakt makes it sound much more interesting.
Programming the TD-3-MO's "authentic 303 experience" sequencer live was perhaps a brave choice, but got some nice sequences out of it in the end, I think. Didn't really go for much of a squelch in most of this, which is a shame.
