how to make techno on the KO II

Straight kick, minimal percussion, and texture from resampling and FX. Techno relies on repetition and gradual change.

128-140 BPM · Straight, driving, dark.

1. 1. Set techno tempo.
   Hold TEMPO around 132 BPM.
2. 2. Driving kick.
   Step-sequence a four-on-the-floor kick in Group A, with a sparse clap or rim.
3. 3. Build a repeating texture.
   Sample a synth or noise stab, then resample the loop to stack and time-stretch it into an evolving bed.
4. 4. Carve movement.
   Sweep the filter and add delay for dub-techno space.
5. 5. Perform changes live.
   Use punch-in FX to drop and reintroduce elements during playback.
