The native distortion effect lacks highfrequency content imho. I accidentally discovered how to add high distortion frequencies: by maximizing the added dithering: normalize a sample played at low volume. Doing so with the eq-effect will give you still a bit of high- low-band control using the fx knobs. website: http://www.leondustar.nl soundcloud: https://soundcloud.com/leon-du-star facebook: https://www.facebook.com/leon.dustar bandcamp: https://leondustar.bandcamp.com latest ESX-track: https://soundcloud.com/leon-du-star/no-oldschool-but-funk-live checkout the electribrary : http://electribrary.electribers.com warning: Experimental (European) English is used in the video :)

it *IS* possible to have soundoverlap between patterns. here a small demonstration of a one way of doing that. This is just a simple demonstration, if both patterns share the same tempo, one can easily resample a loop, and have it cascade into the next pattern. Key points: create a looped sound, use keyboardpart 1 or 2, put 'eg time' at 75%, and make sure the next pattern is not triggering any notes (it will break the sound from the previous pattern).ofcoarse using loops etc).

My buddy Roland invited me to his place (he lives at number 303, no joke!), and before I knew it I was trying out some mad funky stuff with Roland and his squirrel :D

DISCLAIMER: my english is experimental (just like my music) :) just found out a trick to easily switch between 3 audiosources: your arrangement + 2 chaos parts. This is a simple example, but you could use this technique to do crazy skrillex/dubstep 'switch'-stuff (you could for example switch between 3 dubstep/glitchgrooves). Btw. the video ends pretty abrupt because my iphone fell down because the sounds were just too funky for my iphone. :D (Im using stretchparts in the example, but it could be anything) preparation ======== 1) put crazy stuff on stretchparts 1 & 2 2) trigger every note on stretchparts 1 & 2 (else sometimes sounds arent triggered) 3) unmute everything, but mute the stretchparts 4) save the pattern performance ========= 1) breath, relax and think about pink elephants :) 2) find out if your current pattern has all notes triggered on stretchpart 1 & 2 (shift stretchpart 1 or 2) 2) if so, you know your pattern is 'triple-crossfade'-compatible 3) at the end of the beat, solo stretchpart 1 or 2 4) quickly hold shift, and press the pattern button at the beginning of the beat now the pattern button is flashing, you are in triple-crossfade-mode now :) 5) while holding shift with your left thumb, playfully press pattern, stretchpart 1 or stretchpart 2 in a cycling way. (And practice cool timings) Hope this helps. Big respect for danieklerr (Sauce) & Jeff (OpenElectribe). The ESX has much hidden areas which are to be explored. Lets put the skilllevel higher and higher! Its possibilities lies in the hand of its user. Don't fool yourself that this machine has low specs, the fun thing about this realtime 'mini-daw' is that many features can be accessed in realtime (and parallel!). The resampling feature literally enables unlimited possibilities, one groove gives birth to another, its almost a fractal. Oh yes, and you don't have to worry about midimappings,plugins,updates,latency..leave that for the computers :)
