The immediacy and unpredictability of live music making is what draws me into making synth jams. In this jam I punch in a chord into the sequencer which triggers a patch with an arp on the Wavestate. Save move.

Then I try to loop a live Darabukka pattern, which goes well fortunately. This could easily go totally wrong. Just a little bit playing out of time and it won't groove.

In the middle of the jam I try to get a groovy synth pattern with the Bass Station 2 which totally isn't working well in the context of the music. After a bit of trying and seeing that it isn't working I decided to just move on. Also that arp pad sound I should have taken out soon after the intro.

This is where I am at with my jamming skills at the moment. Hit and miss and totaly not perfect but fun and exciting.
