Nice - especially Extraction. I like the descending bass line. What set up workflow are you using? Synths etc?

Well these are the tracks I've made using nodal, I am trying to make my tracks generate on their own, build up and down on their own in a "natural" way, these are the tracks I have created so far with nodal.

I love this program, I've ran into some minor (but slightly annoying) bugs, but nothing that has stopped me from producing what I wanted to.
The bugs I am talking about I will be posting soon, but I feel something like that needs to be detailed.

thanks for the description :)

so you're using renoise as a sample player?

I have added my workflow in the description of a later track, but it is kind of hidden in between other tracks, so here is a copy:


Besides synths, it mostly consists of instruments I have created by myself, sometimes I use a VST simply to render a sound, then I use renoise and (mostly native) filters to make my own custom instrument.
Lately I have been doing a lot of experimental linking and syncing, besides writing the music using an algorithm in nodal, I have been making each instrument have an effect on each other using signal followers (side chaining), so instrument 1 has an effect on 2 which has an effect on 3 to instrument 4 and 5, and 5 has its own automated effect on instrument 1.
In that sense I am trying to create a sort of self-unfolding music using nodal and self-complimenting effects.

hi

Thanks for the explanation - would be cool to open up an example...

I still need to get used to this system.

Yes I used renoise as a sample player, besides playing the samples it has a lot of options to make complete instruments out of them.
I don't use renoise only as a sample player, I use it as a VST host as well, I use mostly the native renoise plugins, and there are some nice ones in here too: http://mda.smartelectronix.com/
I think it is kind of hard to explain, but I might be able to upload a complete project here, a renoise file and a nodal file, the free version of renoise should be fine to play it, and I really only use free plugins, I have a single paid plugin, but it is not used in any of these tracks.
Though I have a bad habit at giving everything some weird name, I'd need to check the filedates.

After some though whether to expose my techniques knowledge and failures, I have decided that all of these tracks are trial and error and they have become the way I wanted them to, I feel exposed in a way posting my projects raw, but I think my techniques have reached a uniqueness from which some people might find inspiration.

So here is the project to my latest track: http://www.mediafire.com/?a89pfv1ryoh13f4
This will run perfectly fine in the free version of renoise combined with the free version of nodal.
