what do ya mean by "Basic Channel Type"??

[The Teknoist.]

tracks with the sound i can only describe as having a 'basic channel' sound in it. Check any tracks by basic channel i guess or Claro Intelcto. Check Johannes Heil - 20,000 leagues under the skin. Its like a warm atmospheric synth/bass type thing.

[Starfuqer]

i don't follow

[distek]

Im confused!!! so let me get this right, "Basic Channel" is like a person/group that makes tracks under the name "Basic Channel"?

[The Teknoist.]

Sorry, i thought you'd have heard of Basic Channel umm..

knock yourself out getting into them/it man :)

[Starfuqer]

hahahah

ok i thought it was some new technique or something

[The Teknoist.]

well tbh, the main reason i posted it on here is because i dont know how to make the signature sound they use and tbf its mainly used by them and not many others.

Was seeing if anyone knew how to make it :)

:shock: wow you should be ashamed if you never heared of Basic Channel.

[eyeswithoutaface]

i cant believe people on here are actually asking who Basic Channel is... maurizio, Berlin, Tresor, only one of the most important artists to have graced the scene

[audioinjection]

for shame!

[The Teknoist.]

so, eyeswithoutaface, anyone? how can you make that signature sound?

[eyeswithoutaface]

bit crushing, big verbs, chorus, deep subs, minimal, solid patterns, big grooves

they have an awesome sound no doubt

[The Teknoist.]

its the duby/metalic synth/bass thing i wanna recreate.

beautiful sound man :) i could just melt into a big vat of that and acid haha

One of their techniques was to use radio static from analog radios... they use lots of delays as well and basslines that get in ya head!

I also believe the first remix jeff mills did was for maurizio.

C4.5
P1.1

classic tracks that are more progressive than progressive ever was.

I :love: Basic channel!!!!!!

I'd be willing to bet they used one of these:

I'd recommend checking out Pole (http://www.discogs.com/artist/Pole) as well.

[The Teknoist.]

yeah, Pole rock!

[Komplex]

Definately. Just finnished another one a few weeks ago (maybe I should post it up)... I still class it as techno but I know what u mean by the BC vibe. It's that organic ultra minimal dub style way of doing tracks.
Set it up and record it on the fly, in one go while tweaking. Thats what Dub techno is all about.

[The Teknoist.]

yeah please post it up man :)

Hard to find, difficult to use - but they rock HARD!

Ahhh the basic channel sound .... believe me you're on the right track with the Space Echo's but there are a few other pieces of old Roland gear that you might wanna take a look at and not the 303,101 etc.... and one small Yamaha Kybrd that seems to be extremely over looked , sorry I'm not being straight up about what these are, but I believe finding these tools is more then half of the journey :neutral:

CZ101 as well?

PS - dont be so tight...

whats the point in posting if you dont actually help that much.. and i dont accept your argument about the journey to the tools. (well i do a bit...) itss not about the tools so much but about how you put them to use. and that as they say is a different matter entirely.

delay pro by line six , great tape delay emulation (without all the hiss and crackle and replacing tapes and tape heads )and its half the price .
wouldnt mind an original though.
