Reason 12 and Live 11.

I decided to wait a fair bit but the time has come. Reason 12 Suite running as a VST3 in Live 11 on Apple Silicon, so I’ll be making Ned Rush videos like it’s 2009 very very soon, once I remember how to use it.

MKTF updated.

Small update just to clarify dj sets.

Yeah; Woah

Something I just made for a mixtape that I thought was fun.

Returns of the Nedi

Return of the Jedi is 40 years old now. I sampled it and made some breakcore glitch. Thanks for listening.

Ned Rush Breaks (Volume 1)

Hello everyone and welcome to my new download. 

You know what the say, New Year, new collection of old breaks.

I'd like to get back into the habit of regularly making samples so spent last night refreshing my workflow for that.

Here are 59 classic breaks that I've waded through and cropped into tasty funk nuggets for 1 bar, compressed like an idiot, speed up to 175bpm, so...

Detuning Synths in Ableton.

Detuning synths may sound like a bad idea but it isn't at all. It's actually a very good one because I just said so.

Flomb m4l device test

Hello everyone. Here is a another prototype for some devices I am planning to make in the coming months using the ramping function interface idea. This is a flanger/comb filter which you modulate by drawing in the function box. Enjoy.

Carve by Ned Rush (m4l demo device)

Hello everyone. I took the ideas from the What The Function video and put them into a max for live device that does speed modulation to audio in real time. The function speeds up and slows down the contents of the buffer. High values are normal speed. Low values and slow right down to a dead stop, or something like that. It’s an experiment. I'm fairly certain every value of 1 or 0 on the func...

What The Function (Max 8 stuff)

The function object in Max can make things go up and down and left and right and other things. Here I'm using it to mangle a drum loop in cyclical rhythmic ways. 

Download attached. May require the newest Max update. Always best.

Tonight's Robot Funk

Create and Randomize Drum Kits in Live 11 Suite.

Warning! This video contains bugs and strong language, or, as my Dad would have said "It's not strong language, it's weak language".  In this video I procedurally create some drum samples, then look at ways to randomize the drum kits.

You'll need Live 11 Suite to open this set.

Skippy by Ned Rush (Max For Live)

Hello everyone. After being inspired by a Zoom call with a Patron, and also being inspired by trying to recreate Bram's SupaTrigga from back in the day, I made this quick and dirty realtime beat juggling Max For Live device called Skippy!

Run some beats through it and enjoy 2002. Download attached.
