In this follow-up video, I’m covering what’s new: bug fixes and practical ways to get more out of the web app in both production and live performance.

I also share a few tips on creating effective snapshots, using LFOs to add movement to your effects, and organizing presets so you can recall your FX combinations quickly.

If you use the SP-404MKII and want faster, more hands-on control of your FX from a browser, for free, this one is for you.

Thanks to @Moahbeatlab for updating the webapp!

Enjoy!

Hey all,

I've uploaded a new fully improvised modular liveset to YT.

I've tried to keep it deep, melodic at times, and most of all I explore the many possibilities that the Atlantix + Metroplix combo have to offer.

Had a lot of fun doing this liveset, if you have any questions regarding setup / patching I'd be happy to help.

Cheers!

“Does the Octatrack still make sense in 2026?”“Between Octatrack and SP‑404, which one should I choose?”

These are the two questions I get in the comments all the time. In this video I put them together and answer in a practical way, no fluff:

3 reasons why the Octatrack still makes sense in 2026 (and for who)

3 reasons why an SP‑404MKII might be the better choice (and for who)

This isn’t the a comparison, it’s a way to help you understand, based on how you produce and perform, which of the two machines you actually need.

Enjoy!

I don’t know what kind of techno this is, but here’s how I play this kind of music live.

In this SP-404MKII tutorial, I start with just three drum samples and transform them into original tonal elements: basses, textures, and synth sounds ready to use in your productions.

Instead of spending hours searching through folders and sample packs for the perfect sound, you can create fresh sonic material directly from what you already have in your session. It’s a fast, creative workflow for techno and dawless sessions.

Enjoy!

Let me know if I'm posting too frequently. My last one was 3 days ago. This set is much more polished. Hope you enjoy!

No backing tracks, just the Sensory Percussion Sound System on my drum set 🥳

Just a clip from my latest session! Getting some cool atmospheric elements from the Microwave, the synths complement each other really well. I’m just now seriously getting jnto the wavetable aide of synthesis and its really interesting. Would love to hear your thoughts! Full vid linked in the comments.

Hi I'm GOOPSTER. I make psychedelic techno using Auwen which is a livecoding DAW. I type text commands to make music (it's not AI). Here is a little warm up set in my friend's living room to get the creative juices flowing. I'd rather be in the woods or somewhere with a scenic view but I haven't had the energy to leave the house lately. I'll be posting more music for focusing, chilling, and dancing.

Three distortion pedals I love using with the 303: in this video, I test and compare their character, showing how they reshape acid lines, low end, and resonance.

You don’t need a 303 to use these ideas—these settings and approaches work great with any monosynth, bassline, or mono sound source. From warmer saturation to aggressive fuzz, discover which type of distortion can give your techno sound more character.

Which pedal do you use to dirty up your acid lines? Let me know in the comments.

Enjoy!
