Beat
Sampled from Clyde McPhatter ‘The Mixed Up Cup’
As the sample was quite low quality bit reduction was used to add to the gritty sound. 11 bits sample rate to emulate an old sampler.
A slow flanger was used to give the drums a west coast sound.
An EQ was used to boost the kick drum and hi hats, then were doubled up with midi notes as shown below
Heres the finished beat soloed
Percussive Loop
Sampled from James Spencer ‘Take This Woman Off The Corner’
The sample was chopped up in the short rhythmic slices.
An LFO was used to open and close a filter to add more movement.

Keys
A sample was trigger through midi and a compressor side chained to the kick drum to create a pumping effect. Echo and reverb was added to add interest
Bass
The preset ‘Housey Bass’ was used and drawn in in midi.
