No the sounds are all sampled. With DnB tracks i usually work in two parts, I'll create new sounds seperately and sample them to disk and then sequence them appropriately. This was my first experiment with the sequencing, so far so good. All the sounds you hear are actually from another older track and have been recycled into this track. My next experiment will be with generating evil blasts of noise. I want to work on a darkstep machine next, i'm not sure if i'll do this realtime or go to disk with it first. In the past it's been easier to get the sound right if i go to disk first, i find the opposite is true with techno (pure techno like detroit style) is better performed in realtime. It's interesting normally i'd only use something like ChucK or Csound for experimentation but i got so involved with it i thought I might start trying to use it for my more "conventional" projects as well which normally I would use a commercial sequencer for. So far i prefer ChucK, having access to a real programming syntax is alot more flexible than sequencing. I figure i'll start by trying to get some standard DnB sounding patches going which can generate a wide variety of sounds, then i'll tweak those patches when i need new material. The only real prerequisite is that they sound dark and evil ;-) After I have this going, i have plans to merge this project with another project i have going, which should be very interesting in the end.

Drum and Bass.

Some great sounds in there, these all ChucK?
