I hadn't used Patching Panda's Particles for a while (too long!) - I'd forgot how fun it is to make glitchy and unusual beats with it. With this jam, I was hoping to push the compression and eq to get a sort of lo-fi/glitch feel that I hoped might work with the beats.
To make these beats, I sent a Euclidean rhythm from Pam's to Particle's clock in. I then sent four more looping trigger sequences from Pam's to Particle's 4 inputs - playing around with the "phase" setting on some of them to create more interesting (to me, at least) beats. I then sent the four outputs to BIA, Taiko and Squid Salmple. I also sent a more regular trigger from Pam's to trigger the clap - hopefully this ties everything together and keeps a sort of groove going.
I also used the gate function on Particles to remove some of the triggers (it was getting a little messy) and played with the sliders to get those ratchets you sometimes hear.
The melody is two very simple loops from Castle playing at almost the same time, and then going through Mimeophon for reverb/delay.
