This jam was prompted by the weekend challenge in a Hardware Jams FB group:
"An old classic challenge from the Hardware Jams vault this week:
Pads from Heaven, Beats from Hell. I want to hear the lushest-sounding pads or chords, juxtaposed against the most spiky and hellish beats you can conjure up."

Featured in the livestream: youtube.com/watch?v=o2W4IoF1IN0

I'm not sure if you'd call these pads heavenly, but I think the drums are quite hellish!
• Pad: Beehive droning chords into Monsoon in regular Clouds mode. Modulated by DualTM applet.
• Drums: Bitbox Micro parallel processed by LoFi Echo on O_C + Forbidden Planet. Sequenced by DrumMap + EuclidX.
Pam's keeps everything in sync, of course.

Only minimal post-processing (light multi-band dynamics). The sound is still raw and crunchy like the real thing!

Welcome to Phazerville! I'm your host, Nick, aka DJ Phazer! I'm a music nerd from Michigan who makes weird noizes and overthinks everything! I grew up with Nintendo and Nickelodeon. I'm known in some circles for my beatbox skillz. I like to spin Drum & Bass and occasionally get lost in sound design and synthesis. You can expect a lot of DIY music tech here ;)
