Bohm OhmForce Minimal Techno
TECHNORACK V2
Hi everyone,
Hereβs a new live performance with my updated Eurorack setup, still dedicated to Techno. This time I went a bit more minimal: I lowered the BPM because the Bohm has a longer pitch envelope than expected. Slowing it down helped me get those nice harmonics with a properly tuned kick. In the end, the Stolperbeats could open up more groove and complexity, and the result feels deeper and more hypnotic.
The Intellijel Multigrain is the main atmosphere/melody source, sequenced by the Tiptop Z8000 and Pamelaβs New Workout. Long saturated sequences go into the Sealegs, with a hi-hat texture layered on top.
The Z8000 also sequences part of the Rample, with the Voltage Block switching samples and patterns on the fly, synced with the Stolperbeats. I love how a single preset change can reshape the groove instantly.
For mixing, I created two separate chains:
β’ D.O.MIXX + Per4mer + Golden Master
β’ Quadratt β 100 Grit β FX AID
This gives me two distinct layers: one easy to play live, and another I can remix later after recording.
Iβm also using the Ikarie to create unique wah-wah effects on a kick and some Rample layers.
The Bohm itself is still a new territory for me. Some engines donβt interest me much, but below 140 BPM itβs a beast β long envelopes, punchy attack, and a lot of potential for evolving kicks. Curious to explore it more in the future.
Thanks a lot for listening, sharing and for your feedback π
