TR-606 Ago-Go

By way of an interlude here's something which struck me whilst listening to the radio. Over this page is a series (eventually) of tracks from which I have decided to immortalise the main drum pattern as a TR-606 four bar loop. Pointless? maybe. A waste of valuable memory? certainly. A life altering experience? doubtful. Should you try it? Oh yes!

NURSE!

Prodigy: Firestarter

Aw, come on, EVERYONE & their grandmother knows this one, the second coming of the now renamed Prodigy, it's been parodied beyond belief left, right and center. And now it's my turn (shame it's not funny really).

Blur: On Your Own

The video to this featured Dave tapping away at a 606 and getting it to sqwalk. Now despite valliant efforts on my part I can neither get the thing to sqwalk or do hand claps, not that you care, (the sod's probably got an 808/cubase, grrrrr. No, I must stay calm).

The rhythm track is in two parts-ish, building half way through the tune.
