I Was Trolled Into Making a Sitar Beat | The Joy of Beatmaking (2022x11)

Welcome to the new and improved Jon Makes Beats Youtube channel. This is a complete overhaul from the previous videos and we're really proud to show you what we're working on. Take a look at this sitar beat I made on the Elektron Octatrack Mk II by using a combination of sampling and MIDI sequencing. We upload every Wednesday so come back next time and we'll make another beat. 0:00 Intro 0:35 Sampling On The Octatrack Mk2 1:36 Let's Find a Drum Loop for the Beat 2:26 Putting One Shot Drums Underneath 2:25 Faking Sidechain on the Octatrack 3:42 Using Slide Trigs to Affect Pitch 4:45 Adding Piano Chords via Slice Mode 5:06 Sitar Story Time 6:12 Bending Sitar Notes via Pitch LFO 7:24 Auditioning New Sounds via MIDI 8:20 Listening to the Finished Beat
