Try to make a track using only one very short percussion or click sound sample and then post it in this thread. I'll start (and probably be the only one who bothers). The entire track can only use 1 type of sound composed into any sort of pattern. Here's mine:
http://artists.iuma.com/IUMA/Bands/wmw/ "only 1 click sound"
It isn't a very good track, but it's ... well, it's a TINY bit of a smidgen interesting, to me anyway.. well I lied, it's not interesting to me either. But the point is that the entire track only uses one click sample (I have to repeat this concept to you because you are slow) *suddenly I forget what I'm talking about.
I managed "pseudomelodies" using only this one click. Now I know what you're asking. w M w, walking textbook of music theory, what exactly IN THE HELL... ARE pseudo melodies, I am SOOO interested. Well I am going to tell you. You see my dimwitted friend, every single click in the track is of the same pitch. but some series of same-pitch-clicks (which are played really fast) are a faster tempo so it makes a distinct "pitch"... yeah, so like that's what happens. I did use different octaves, but still it sounds like some sort of melody is there other than octaves. I don't know why I'm writing so much since this track really does suck, but maybe you can do better. Even though nobody will bother. Ta ta! I wonder what I was writing about in this thread.. I'll reread it and probably find out I was talking bean burritos and stuff.

ok ok, well the first 1/3 of the track has ALL single octave clicks, but then when the melodyish part gets by itself, there are 2 octaves (c and f).

how about making a track from any one sample of any kind
a click is not a very interesting building block. personally its more something that ill derive from a longer sample

You could save an entire track as a wav and upload it saying that's one sample. It has to be a distinct POP, or BOINK, or PAP, but no, I repeat NOO DONKS!!! It can be a sound like PLOP or BOOM.. BUT NO DONKS (I hate donks).

it's the best thing you have ever done.
however, I do not believe its just one sample. I will NOT believe it. I say NO to that notion. and perhaps also: GO AWAY.

I don't knooooow, "f" makes a nicer sound than "c" on MY keyboard.

That's kinda funny, thanks. hmm, well (I was going to make some sort of statement or something here but I forgot). It does use only single note clicks though as (attempted) to describe in my initial post (the first 3rd of it ONLY has single note clicks, the rest just adds another note but they're all still clicks)
You don't like my snarkle technique then. I've used that mostly in my recent tracks (the top 2 tracks on my page)

that's quite economical
and if you want melodies, just take a sound segment and divide the musical frequency of the desired note by 1000 ms and then you'll have the length of the segment by which to loop to buzz at that note's frequency.
i guess that could be considered the poor man's comb filter. =p

ps: wmw .. that is an amazing little track. i really like the second minute, those pseudo-melodies kick some b-hind.
i might try with a 808 boom - are booms ok? actually maybe a click. i should have a click somewhere.

Cool, I look forward to your twaks. Maybe I might do another. Or maybe not, it depends on how insignificant my track becomes relative to yours :) I like the second minute of my trak the most too (considering the song was only 1 minute and it ended by then, heh heh). I actually didn't spend much time on this track, and I didn't listen to it much before I posted it. Maybe it's better than I thought since people (perhaps I shouldn't assume you are people) seem to like it.
boom- Hmm.. judges? ...
yes, yes, booms are ok. and clicks. but NO DONKS!!

maybe you can do a track with 2 sounds .. and then 3 and then .. maybe not though.

The single click sample I made my track with is already uploaded. Just listen to my track, and at the very end (the single last click), that is the single click I used.. so you could chop that little last click of the wav off if you want.
cansabur was cool, duble0syx, reminded me of theterminator 2 type military beat. I think it used more than one sound, even though it was a very limited pallette, although I could be wrong.
As for SHISPs or PLERPs.. I think it's too many consonants again... for example you could take "PLERP" and divide it into "P" and "LER" and "P" (the last p would probably be pronounced slightly different than the first P).. so you could cheat and make a beat with these 3 sounds instead.
my track tempo wasn't super fast to get those "melodies" sadist, it was a normal speed, BUT the wav I made I imported and played at a really high octave so it would be as fast as possible (but still the same pitch).
I guess you can use vst's and pitching if you want, although you can sort of cheat this way too. (make an echo click and a non-echo click, ta da you have 2 samples)

It's gonna be fun to hear these. Basically be creative (or don't) and do what you want, but you get the basic purpose of being limited to one short sound. You can do your own thing and expand (or contract) on it or whatever, but for example, if you are allowed to use different pitches, you can simply make, like a piano melody (that only uses one sound in different pitches)... that's not really what I meant, but if you want to do that you are FREE!! FREE I TELL YOU!!! *ahem
well I used volume in mine, so i could make the same argument that a "click" and a "CLICK" can be treated as 2 seperate samples.. whatever. You'll all have different ideas anyway.
By the way I plan to mix these all into a final compilation... yeah, THIS THREAD WILL BE IT, heh heh.
