All sounds are from the Sequential Pro 3, then sequenced in the Digitakt, with the first four tracks containing one sample each which have 16 drum hits - T1 Kicks, T2 snares, T3 hi-hats and T4 percussion.
Each set of 16 samples range from short, snappy and clean to drawn-out and overdriven. Then within the Digitakt, Slice mode was used to randomly select one of the 16 slots. When combined with parameter-locks and probability, this gave an organic, un-repeating glitch-style to the drums.
The ambient riff which comes in at about the 40 second mark is being played from the Pro 3 (it’s not a sample). This patch uses all of the LFO’s to keep the sound evolving; cutoff frequency, octaves, velocity, modulating modulators. While the sequencer is playing three paraphonic tracks, each in random mode producing unexpected chords.
I love this duo. It is simple yet very versatile. I can’t praise the Pro 3 enough, and I hardly know its depths yet.
Any questions feel free to ask.
Enjoy.
