J Dilla feat Phatt Kat (Midik Tech-Hop Remix)

• December 3rd, 2009
Dilla-Midik-Remix.jpg
So friend and local producer BrandoBrownBlue and I have started to do weekly/monthly challenges for one another.  The premise  is one will choose an artist to remix, and you have about a week to finish the track.  Rules are pretty loose at the moment since we’re just getting started, but for this particular one, it was all styles, anything goes, just do a unique remix you’re happy with with said artist chosen.

CHALLENGE #1: J Dilla (any track, any style)

First challenge of this series was J Dilla.  At first I thought it was going to be easy, but as I got into it I realized it was a bit more difficult.  As you probably know, J Dilla used mostly chopped samples from a lot of songs to build a single track, so to create something unique from an already complexly layered track took some real thinking.

I ended up choosing track #13 off the album “Welcome to Detroit”, a song entitled J Dilla feat Phatt Kat.  The track went several directions before I decided on an avenue, but its something that I ended being pretty happy with overall.  The bassline is a sliced up piece of audio from the track, drums are sampled, and the rest is well pretty straight forward.  I hope you enjoy it.  These challenges will continue so there are many more remixes to come!    Cheers! :)

My XONE:3D Bomes Template

• May 5th, 2009
Midik's Bomes Template Pack for Ableton Live
This is my XONE:3D Bomes Mouseless template I’ve been using for the last couple of weeks that I made. Its done with the Free Bomes MT version. It will also work for the XONE1D or 2D. I use a PC, so I’m not sure if this will convert to MAC or not.

Let me know if you have any questions.

You’ll Need to Download:

  1. Midik’s Bomes XONE:3D Template Pack <–Right Click & Save As

Pack Contents:

  1. BOMES MT Free Version (http://www.bome.com/)
  2. Midi Yoke (http://www.midiox.com/)
  3. Image of Control Layout
  4. Instructions on setting it all up.

How to get it to work:

  1. Install Bomes Midi Translator (included in DLed Pack)
  2. Install Midi Yoke (included in DLed Pack)
  3. Open Ableton Deactivate your XONE:3D in Midi Sync. Track=Off Remote=Off
  4. Open Bomes
  5. In Bomes choose “Midi In” as XONE:3D Midi
  6. Choose “Midi Out” as Midi Yoke: 1
  7. Go back to Ableton
  8. Turn on track and remote Midi Yoke:1 under Midi Sync in Ableton Preferences
  9. On the Bomes icon in your system tray (by the clock) Right Click and select “Midi Thru”
  10. Go to Bomes and open the XONE:3D Template (included in the DLed pack).
  11. Go back to Ableton and enjoy!

That’s it! You can now use the mouseless nav template. Included in the DL pack is an image of the control layout, or check it out on flicker here >

I’m working on adding a shift button in order to double the controls.  I will post a new template up once its finished.

Editing this Ableton Template for a Different Controller In Bomes

  1. Double click on the “Incoming Trigger” you wish to remap to your controller
  2. Check the box “Capture Midi”
  3. Press your midi key, pad, or pot/knob
  4. Select that note from the list
  5. Click apply
  6. Keystroke should now be mapped to your controller
  7. Go to Live, and try it out!

Thats all you need to do for applying these setting to your different controller (Trigger Finger, midi keyboard, ect..).  All these keystrokes are for Ableton Live, so as long as you’re using that, you’re good!

Enjoy! :)
