Und zee fruit (with listener commentary):

Avant Hard: 8-Bit Deft Trip

Skull-smashed together at a frantic pace one long day before the deadline, my first Reaktor 5 (oki) export, represents another hard day's work hammering little piggies in the abattoir.

Damon Vallero: Oki the Rainbow

Nice rhythmic tics and stutters.

Digizilla: 3 Minutes of Oki Sadness

This piece was entirely generated with the Oki Computer II from the r5 library. Its style is somehow progressive electronic beats with melodic components. All in all everything is pretty simple. There are not many variations of rhythm or melody. It's just pumping from the start to the end. The more than slightly detuned melody sounds are an interesting result for Digizilla, because it likes de-tune. The harmonic structure of these de-tunes may put some kind of additional tension to the track, besides the melody itself. Most parts were programmed with the SQP (also from the r5 library) as midi control for the Oki, and after programming everything was recorded to .wav files. These files have been cut to the right length and were finally placed in an audio sequencer. Except some automated volume fading there has been no further modification of the sound. Almost all the Oki sounds were programmed by Digizilla, too, except one pad sound originating from a Devine snapshot and a modified bassline of which Digizilla has already forgotten the original snap. To put this to an end, Digizilla really would like to contribute its track on reaktions.com, as a fan, and as a composer. It is nothing outstanding if compared to what has already been uploaded to this site, but a first try. So be not too strict with Digizilla, it's just a harmless mutation of the pure evil deadzillus. Regards, the representative neurotransmittive deadzillus keyboard automator.

Wonderful lifting melody, tech basses and glitchy lines.

Don Dailey: Plasma Mix

Various Oki patches were used, altered, played with midi controller and recorded into Recorder Box. These audio files were then edited and arranged in Digital Performer. Only "effect" used was some automated volume for mixing and the delay unit within Oki Computer.

Glistening blade runner textured throbs burning up midnight skylines.

dongle doc: okok

Decaying flies shed away a mystery behind the corner.

ElektrikZen: Okiko

Hay-wired computer insomnia.

Machinate: KeelC

Grooves, funks and shines.

rachMiel: March of the Shambling Robotniks

Dark basses and chords pre-ignition this mad robot march for revolution.

saintpokie: My Apartment on the Corner of Wolcott and Wabansia

Well programed clicks and bites punching along with a gameboy riff.

sowari: Oki

Lab observed r.e.m sleep tests for the studies of reducing stress.

spr: Progression 7819

Has that schizo soundtrack quality from my favorite amine film, akira.

touched1: Systoric

A burning fuse that's both delicate and menacing.

ZooTooK: Oki Compis 2

A heart broken computer sings its sorrow before meltdown.
