then just fiddle with velocity and gate time in different bars to give some variation(it works for me,but don't use it as a lead,just have it going low in the background)

You'll get acidlines with neither funk nor soul if you use them.
Also, a lot of *real* (not car commercial) acid lines use notes that are harmonically off... drop a 5th to a tritone, drop a 7th to a minor 7th but use the major 3rd etc.

and if any of you guys want to lay down a wicked acid tune, just try doing it in 3/4 time, or using 3-bar 4/4 patterns... stop being so damn predictable, keep it fresh... and who said lack of soul was a bad thing?

i know what you mean, but at the same time it's not like i TRY to analyze shit, you just can't help hearing it (i guess you could plug your ears)... i mean on all those 303 lines, its frustrating that the intervals will just pop into my head cause i'd rather not know...
anyway i'd really like hearing from acid-heads, i still think it's some of the best shit there is, so far from crap like plain, old house...
and yes, i looooove lsd... it's been a year or two (sorta got scary), i wish there was still pure stuff around, now it's all fucking windex.
