I don't know anything about acid techno. Can someone comment on how accurate this is to the genre? I can't seem to get it to do much but make random beeps and boops, but maybe that's just the style of music?

This is pretty much how it sounds - the particular synthesizer and tweaking its parameters (resonance, filtering, and so on) is the main defining feature, the particular classic drum machine used typically goes along with it - but there’s a lot more variation you can do besides just slowly modulating it like this program does, as well as crossovers to other genres (using that squeaky synth sound in other genres of electronic music). This anxiety inducing song by Evol basically switches between samples of different acid tracks every other beat, serves as a nice primer for how you can vary it lol https://youtu.be/2gWCNpSjUDM https://youtu.be/2gWCNpSjUDM And here’s an example of a cross over into electro-pop-driven house music, Peggy Gou’s remix of Shakedown: https://youtu.be/tZbf2JR422w https://youtu.be/tZbf2JR422w Ishkur’s guide to electronic music has a good rundown of the genre and related stuff: https://music.ishkur.com/?query=Acid# https://music.ishkur.com/?query=Acid# (Though I prefer the old school Flash UI over this new one tbh lol) http://techno.org/electronic-music-guide/ http://techno.org/electronic-music-guide/

  Thanks for the examples. I can see why this website is so impressive now, it sounds pretty spot on to the samples! That's absolutely mind blowing to me.

I'm very, very deep into this genre, for decades. This is a good algorithmic approximation of the quality of 50-80% of sub-professional acid techno live sets. It's a great minimum bar for "should you be performing live": you should at least be more interesting than this webpage of random patterns and sweeps. To be honest, I'm going to leave this playing a lot. This is an extremely representative sample of a very specific minimal style, one I love a lot.

In general this is pretty accurate to the genre. Techno is all about repetition. This is super cool.
