As has been mentioned before - use a noise reducer. Most modern DAWs have one built in but it's often not too precise. That being said, I've only used it when recording from non-prosounded GBC (big mistake) and on noise channels (which seem to be the noisiest between triggers unless you throw a Kxx in there).

Rawness is one of the reasons that using hardware one-ups software, imo. It gives a recording character as long as it doesn't upstage composition.

Time the F commands up with the noise channel or other percussion (hh or snare or whatevs). It'll mask the clicks caused by the frame change.

That's what I did in this track at least - especially on the first wav lead and later solo. I think they are pretty smooth frame changes although I'm certain there are better examples out there.

I table like this would definitely fuck shit up for your noise channel. Keep in mind the noise channel is a delicate flower. Combining transpositions with massive shape jumps like that and slapping a hop command on it all will spell disaster. Either nab a copy of 4.0.5 (although, and maybe this is just me, but I feel like I've had drop out issues with 4.0.5 as well) or pare down your noise channel tables.

I'll either make bunch of crazy patches and then mold those into a track or I'll write a bunch of loops with simple wave forms and then embellish them with more interesting patches later. Either way, like trash can man said, use your tables. They are the only way your going to be able to get any texture in either of the pulse channels. Just throw commands all over the place and see what happens - vibrato, envelope, pulse width and hop are all your friend.

For the wav channel, just experiment. You'll get the hang of it eventually.

YESYESYES! Been waiting for this for a while. Absolutely love The Absent Flesh. Such great storytelling, depth, and warmth - not to mention sound design. Can't wait for a full length!

YESYESYESYESYESYES!
