Anyone know what gear rdj uses for his gak alias? I know there's some x0x... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
no clue, but GAK 4 ROCKS |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Everyone says GAK sucks, but I think it's great, especial 2 and 4... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i think gak's bad ass... i think gak's some rjd hdware creations. like some exsisting gear fucked with. gak was before rjd whent digital right? so unless he had a ton of fx boxes...which is pretty impractical if you know how to re-arange the wires in your own gear... i wish there was an article about this project, so i can read up on it in more detail. |

i was in the car with a few freinds a few months and it was the late sat night elecronic show here in seattle; and they played the gak ep...the dj called it one of rdj's worst works, but the whoel car thought it was killer! they all started askign me who aphex twin was, yadda yadda. |

Most likely TB-303, TR-909, TR-808 if it is Acid oh and maybe an SH-101 |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

|
|
I don't think he used those for GAK dude. He (and KK) did for Universal Indicator tho. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Ive only heard one GAK track and i cant remember much about it, but i know for sure that those are just some of RDJ's hardware equipment |

Yeppers, In Acid Labs @ time of UI. I still wonder what the Prodigy nicked from him. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
What, did he say that the prodidgy knicked something from him? I rememer ages ago thinking that one of the drum beats on caustic window comp. was like something off one of the prodigy albums. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Apparently, according to Greek Mythology, The Prodigy stole a TB-303 from Aphex when i riot broke out at an Essex club (most likely The Barn) when Aphex was playing there |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
No wonder they credited him on their first album :) perhaps it's actually a veiled jibe? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
By 'The Prodigy' it would probably be Liam, the crafty git, i reckon it would have been whilst Liam was making 'Experience' and all the other EP's, because he lists Aphex in the thanks list, is it for the inspiration...or is it for the 303? To quote FatBoy Slim...'Everyone needs a 303' |

You wrote that just before i posted so i didnt see ure post Ceri Sorry man |

That's okay, it happens to me all the time, Whilst the 303 was good for its time I don't see why everyone still loves them so much- You can get a far broader spectrum of sounds with more modern synths. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Yeah i know, but alot people just like having around for the warmth and retro feel, plus new synths cant always EXACTLY mimic the vintage sounds... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Ugh! Dude! a 303 is a 303! forget 'more modern synths' Yes you can make other sounds on more modern equip but to get a bad ass acid line burning thru your skull a 303 wont go wrong. I can certainly see why people still like it and I used one for my acid track 'Gatomon' |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
no 303 in gak man. polygon window. yes. in gak no. i can hear some 808 sounds in gak though. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I know the re-birth 303 doesn't sound exactly like it (and that's licensed by roland!) but I'm sure within a couple of years we'll see soft synths with "detuning" knobs that perfectly mimic the fuzz you get when old synths heat up. AT must have been really annoyed about having a 303 knicked, they were really expensive weren't they (I know they still are as they're collectible)? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
the 303 is bad ass because of it's slides. I know bands that hook up modern synths into their 303 emulators. then the 303 into a decent sequenecer bacuase 16 step sequencing sux. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yeah they were Im thinking of getting a 606, always wanted a drum machine, so simple to program and i like the sounds on it |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I want them ALL!!! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
speaking of 303...here comes a laid back 303 line in polygon window: track 7. heh, this sounds way to much liek a rebirth preset...it doesn't surprise me if propellerheads stole this riff. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i love that line |
||||||||
|
|

It wasn't The Barn where that happened... It was in a converted cinema which got turned into a club for a few months...Prodigy played there the first night...and Aphex a few weeks later but yeah, there was a load of money trouble with getting paid & people ended up walking off with records, furniture, whatever they could lay their hands on.... so basically a weird night...I was off me face so didn't really know what was happening at the time...never imagined I'd be remembering it after all these years (we're talking 1992...)... I've still got a flyer for the club somewhere....pity it all happened as the club didn't open again after that...it's a weatherspoons pub now...:(... back on topic...sounds to me as if GAK uses a lot of Yamaha FM stuff..some of those basses are quite dry & digital sounding...DX100 perhaps??... |

|
|
Ahh Jand...knower of all things usefull |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
what are the names to the two newly released polygon window tracks? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Redruth School and Portreath Harbor... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i found the first track on slsk..but cant' seem to find the second :(. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Get on Inverted Whales server...I got em, and I ripped em right from the cd when I bought it... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
how do i do that? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
If IW was around he could sign you up but I suppose I could get on soulseek... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I'm on soulseek if you still want that track... Same name as here and I'm in the Aphextwin.nu room... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Theres a 606 for £120 in a shop near me. Nanotech: Yep, theres lots of stuff in the default rebirth song that sounds "stolen" :) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
where are you at? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Had a problem, I should be there when you read this... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i always hated prodigy, and now i hate them more! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
prodigy is just gay |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I wish people wouldn't use the word gay as a term of insult. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i agree. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i can see why these tracks were vut from polygon...they dont' fit with the rest of the cd at all. the beats are to dancy, and the melodies on redruth school are to quarky with that xylaphone. almost like donkey ruhbarb... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||

|
I remember in an interview Richard said he had a whole 2nd Polygon Window album that he won't put out. He added 'morbidly' "They will probably find it when I'm dead" |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
wow. i personally wish that his last wish is to let us have his stuff. that's what i'd do; put it in my will that the whole world gets my music for free. no greedy labels eating the profits...just my fans enjoying all my work. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Thats very good of you Nanotech. I want to get my paws on that second Caustic Window album, only 4 of those in the world... man. I can't really complain tho because Richard seems to be doing his best to re-release his older stuff. I'm happy to get anything by him and I always love to retire any of my home made bootlegs. |
