Samples used: soundtrack clip from obscure old movie in Library of Congress collection (the violin type sound), 24 notes of bass guitar into drum sampler, ukulele played to tape then dropped in drum sampler, an Adele song that just happened to be on the radio sampled into drum sampler, stock drum kits, my 10 year old making crazy noises, and some acoustic guitar. Everything was done using the drum sampler.

Nice chill vibe! Dig the āgo slowā vocal sample.
@krautpoputopia
Great edgy textures!
@joeyfivecents
Cool! The āviolinā almost sounds like a Hohner Melodica (wind instrument with keyboard)ā¦
Bass change (1/2 step down first note of pattern) near end of time really caught my ear, nice!

Iām fixingā to go listen to all the entries so far. Stay tuned. 3 more days, hope some more drop.
@kln
Youāre conjuring up Dilla (whom I love). Especially the changes/transitions. 2nd half is my favorite part. Itās all good.
@psound74
At around 1:09, it really starts grooving. Nice wide sound field (something I need to work on). Really nice analog/organic sounds.
@krautpoputopia
Just sounds like FUN to me. Intense. Delay at the end is cool.
Iām nearly there with a nasty sounding tune 
Iāll try to finish mine tomorrow
enjoy listening, if you can!
Ingredients: peek drum kit, wild jazz piano trio via FM radio, a sample from āAmerican English dialect recordingsā. In keeping with the battle spirit, that bass sound is actually a tight loop of the kick drum sample sent through the punch filter.
Let me know what genre this might be

@Lawr Your guitar track is killer. Did you design the guitar part to be sampled, or did you just improvise and cut it up later? I ask, as it seems like it has a bit of everything you need: chords, some soft pad-like tones, some melodies.

Iām still not there, and would love to have a couple of extra days (since the next time I have some time to put into this is Wednesday night).
However, if Iām the only one who needs an extension, Iāll be happy to āforfeitā and submit my entry late.

Decided to perform this instead of making it a organized song because I am not organized person and the tracks were kind of a mess lol. But after many variation this was going to sound like andā¦ many many Many takes this is what I managed to conjure up in time. This is technically my first song after owning this thing for a month so please go easy on me. Kudos if you know the samples.

Hi, I said I liked the theme of this battle so I made one song.
There was an interview with Burt Bacharach from '86 on the linked page, so I just took it and cut it on the drumsamplerā¦ Took me hours for all the words and phrasesā¦
Was a lot of fun!

Yeah I like him a lot, and I was trying to let it sound a bit like his dramatic songs.
Like your jump up house track! @squiddly
Hereās my entry! Thanks for keeping the Battle open a bit extra @Lawr!
It seems like I get the rules wrong every second time. I realised after rendering the track that the clavinet-style solo in the outro breaks the rulesā¦ sorry!
Thereās a sax sample from the Citizen DJ project, and I also used @LyingDalaiās Battle 66 drumkit (felt like I should do it more justice than the random knocks I used it for in the last battle 
).

Just pretend you pitched it on the drumsampler

Lol yeah I totally could have played it with the drum sampler, that is definitely true. Or cutted and pasted the existing track via the drum sampler.

@yakczar, @joeyfivecents, @Mistercharlie, thank you for your kind words! This ākitā was one of the first things I made after getting my OP-1 to see what the sampler could do
@Mistercharlie, yes, I did record the little 12 second guitar piece (you can hear the whole thing at the beginning of the video) with the drum sampler in mindā¦ but tried not to be too āintentionalā about how it would be usedā¦ exploration and experimentation is where itās at!!
