Verysickbeats – SP-404MKII: Pattern statt Looper – damit der Beat beweglich bleibt

4. November 2026

Verysickbeats links his SP-202 with the SP-404MKII and builds a beat he wants to keep shaping during playback. For this, he deliberately chooses pattern mode instead of the looper. Things get interesting with the bass: in the end, it shouldn’t go through the filter. Gabe Miller’s early attempts show why live effects and permanently recorded sound processing are two different decisions.

Behringer RD-765: Classic Drum Machines Reimagined in a Hybrid Workflow

LYRA

Behringer’s RD-765 aims to put a golden decade of drum machine history in your hands—literally. This hybrid drum machine doesn’t just nod to the classics; it integrates 176 drum sounds, sample recording, sequencing, and a dual-mode analog filter into a single box. The official video walks through what’s on offer, mixing hands-on jams with a tour of the RD-765’s main features and performance tools. We break down how the architecture, sound palette, and interface work together, and where the RD-765 seems to stand in the crowded world of modern drum machines.

MiniFreak: The Groove Is in the Filter Too

ZAPP

An arpeggio is running, but the real accents come from the filter: Sineway demonstrates on the MiniFreak how a custom-shaped LFO plays along rhythmically. For the bass, he deliberately keeps the sound simple. Two older contributions from AutomaticGainsay and Nu-Trix take the tinkering idea further—from the exposed triangle wave to a drum sound that almost becomes a bassline.

Continuum App: Reverb grows as you let go

JET

More pressure doesn’t have to mean more effect: In Haken’s app demo, Josh Madoff lets the reverb swell when releasing, and makes high notes sound darker. This is about more than convenient editing. Cuckoo’s earlier Continuum demo shows how closely sound and playing style are linked—and why a new sound sometimes demands new habits from your hands.

Lillian Frances Keeps It Real: Demo Production in Ableton for the Rest of Us

RILEY

Ever feel like Ableton’s just for synth nerds with too much time? Lillian Frances throws all that out the window. She’s got a vibe that’s less textbook and more late-night beat session, breaking down how to turn your voice notes into killer demos with zero stress. If you’re looking for a no-nonsense, super-accessible way to start, this is your jam – and trust me, Lillian makes it feel like you’re hanging out in her living room, not stuck in a stuffy tutorial.

Harvey Sutherland: Finished stems, open decisions

ZAPP

How much should already be set in a live set? Harvey Sutherland shows on Noisegate how prepared audio tracks become flexible again in his hands – with Session View, dub interventions, and an idiosyncratic drum treatment. Tom Lonsborough on sonicstate and Rapid Flow take different approaches: They organize instrument changes and play in an arrangement instead of just drawing it.

Roland n/vision: When Timbre Takes the Lead

LUMINA

An arpeggio doesn’t need constant new notes to keep changing. Voltage Labs shows with Roland’s n/vision how layer mix and sound shaping keep a track in motion. At Andertons, vocal-like wavetable sweeps, measured grit, and a striking observation are added: Sometimes, maybe the ear decides better than the prettiest waveform graphic where a sound should go.
