Sunday Synth Jam: Here’s something a little different – a live looping tabla jam, by Neybuu.
Neybuu is featured in an interview at Elektronauts, where she has this to say about her setup:
What’s your favorite technique, using the Octatrack?
I like to live sample the tabla and process them with effects. Sometimes I add neighbor machines. It makes for endless possibilities! I also like to use scenes for morphing between effects. The MIDI sequencer is very conductive to happy accidents, especially when you get all the LFOs running.
In what way do you think a classic Indian musical instrument and a contemporary Swedish electronic instrument is a good mix?
Simply because I love the sound and musicality of the tabla. When you combine it with the incredible processing power of the Octatrack, or use tabla samples in the Rytm, the experimentation is never-ending.
Neybuu is also featured in the Analog Rytm sound library Total Tabla.

Fuck I love tabla so much!!! I would give up all my hardware synths for a friend wbo plays tabla!!!
That was really cool!
That was f’n awesome!!!!
Looping tabla using a click track with a mic?? This is so wrong!! She is recording the bloody click with it.. Epic Fail!!
LOL! That’s the rim shot on the Rytm, not the click track. lets see you loop on a beat without reference 😉
The woman has style. And the vocal sample is also substance worth respecting. Could it be a tad faster for those on drugs though?
Nice. I miss having tabla.
