You're welcome!
I was curious about what else you got up there on
archive.org and
snooped around. I listened to 'free' and was kinda blown away by the
sound. It's really cool in a way.
I wonder what treasures are still lurking there.
Heh, thanks. Never thought anyone could be blown away from the
sound of my old tracks, produced on a Korg M1 (1988-1994) :)

Back then I was always trying to get sounds out of the old lady it wasn't
made for. That track belongs to a series where I was obsessed with
more punch on the beats and bass bass bass, resulting in some rather
unfortunate mixing :)
I had no memory cards and no own computer, so making a new track
often meant erasing an old one. After recording to tape, if I was happy
enough with the result. Good times, nonetheless.
Everyone's invited to dig for treasures,
just click on my name after "Author" ;)

Great percussion stuff!
I have a question: where did you get your drum samples?
Whenever I ask other electronic musicians about their great drum sounds, they tend to
shrug and say, "use Battery".
Of course, Battery is proprietary closedware, so it's of no use to me.
Where do you (or anyone else) get great drum sounds?
I've gotten a lot of mileage out of Hydrogen but the total of kits available for it
seems to have topped out at about a dozen and stopped there.

I personally think that hand-programmed soundfonts with seq24
give a lot more flexibility than Hydrogen, but YMMV.

samples?
For Woxitron: from Steinberg's LM-somenumber drum module. Made a single
drumloop, applied pitch-shifting, sliced it, applied different filters
and in one case ring-modulation. Arranged the variations in different
ways to make a set of loops. Added another loop made of TR-909 style
samples from some random website (they are so generic I don't see a
licensing issue).
That was all several years ago. More slicing and mangling happened in
Ardour.
The old Korg M1 stuff uses internal drum sounds, as I had no other
choice :)
I'm actually much in favour of synthesising percussion like I did using
Om on several tracks:

22%20AND%20subject%3A%22Om_modular%22
This allows to adjust the timing of each sound to help the groove. Also
nice is introducing slight random variations for a more "organic" sound.
But I just can't throw away my old material. Oh, and pure sample
mangling of what I record with my mic is fun, too :)
