For Volume 15 we examine the science and practice of Techno, and in particular DrumCode Techno. While to many Techno can appear a relatively simple genre its simplicity belies a far, far more complex production ethic. Designed mainly as a DJ’s tool for the dance floor it is also perhaps one of the more complex genres of modern dance music to produce. Infusing multiple rhythms with a major emphasis on its rhythmical continuity and a relatively limited motivic development it instead relies on a fundamental knowledge of a number of very specific compositional and production techniques such as multi-measure programming and development, cross-processing, metrical dissonance and varying rhythmical cells. Spread over 3 discs and running over 10 hours of tutorial video, we examine the production ethics of this genre in detail. Starting from a blank sequencer, we explain many of the techniques used in the genre as we build an example track using the techniques discussed.

The Yamaha RY30 is an elegant drum machine with advanced synth-like features that give it a really great sound. Its sounds come from a sample-based ROM synthesis engine belonging to Yamaha’s SY/TG series of digital synthesizers. We sampled 84 single sounds from this legendary raw and powerfull box and created 79 easy to combine 1bar loops to kick-start your tracks! RY30 was produced by Yamaha in 1991 and at the time was essential and favorite machine of many producers working with dance and electronic music and it was used in more than one Rap, Dance & House hit during the nineties. What gave success to this machine is a fact that RY30 sound was clear, full, dynamic and punchy, and a definite improvement on the older Yamaha machines and drum machines in general.
