Techno Jam Session | DB-01, TR-8S, and Zen Delay

This video is an improvised techno jam built around a single bassline from the Erica Synths DB-01, with the Roland TR-8S playing a central role in shaping the rhythm and groove. I have spent more time getting acquainted with the DB-01, using one bass sequence and gradually introducing small variations until it becomes the foundation of the entire track.

The Roland TR-8S drives the drums and percussion throughout the jam, allowing for live changes in energy, dynamics, and texture. Together with the DB-01, it forms the core of the performance.
In earlier jams I felt that my sound was a bit too plucky, so for this session I added the Zen Delay. It makes a noticeable difference by gluing the elements together and adding depth, space, and movement to the overall mix.

The performance focuses on gradual development, live tweaking, and texture rather than rapid changes. I feel like my sound is improving, and I like the direction it is taking. Thoughts and feedback are very welcome.
