Thanks!

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 :)
