I'm very proud of my system, but lately I'm not finding inspiration...


A Challenge then?
Make the worst or weirdest sound you can then make a good track with it.

Enjoy your spare HP, don't rush to fill every last space, this is not like filling sticker books. Resist the urge to 'complete' your rack, its never complete so just relax.

.... but lately I'm not finding inspiration...

To much gear can be a burden :D
Ok, lets fix it with more gear, let´s say a:
Stochastic Inspiration Generator? :D

or Clank Chaos
- you just push one button = instant new random everything, with rhytms, melodies and stuff.
If theres something you like, you keep it - if not, roll again :D

I often find inspiration in focusing on specific sounds / utilities e.g. on Monday I'll focus on a kick drum only, Tuesday I'll patch a drone, Wednesday an FX send setup... Then by the weekend I can bring all the different parts together with the objective of recording a song (doesn't matter if it's naff) :)

I took part in it for a few years. It's quite fun.

I would patch a simple voice with a single sawtooth or square. Then find a sequence I like in marbles. Set a Euclidean sequence in Pams. Then build on that sequence with sound design and effects. Like put the batumi before the CSL and patch the F%^& out of it. Or use the OCHD.


Thanks everyone for your tips guys!
