001 / THE MACHINETECHNO THAT WRITES ITSELF

PRESS PLAY.
IT DOES NOT STOP.

One track becomes the next, all night.

Bardo writes dark, hypnotic techno from nine synthesized layers, lets each phrase grow and fall away, and mixes the next track in before this one ends — the way a DJ would.

002 / NINE LAYERSNO SAMPLE PACKS. NO LOOPS.

BUILT FROM
NOTHING.

Every sound in Bardo is synthesized as it plays.
Nine layers, each with a job to do.

9LAYERS.
ONE PULSE.
  • 01Kick — a long, falling kick with a dark tail
  • 02Bass — a droning low end that beats against itself
  • 03Metal — ringing, scraping metallic textures under sweeping filters
  • 04Hats — tight, narrow hats that drift a little, like a person playing
  • 05Percussion — metal pings, wood and toms
  • 06FX — noise risers and sweeps that lift a phrase
  • 07Voice — short spoken phrases, generated for each track
  • 08Synth — a lead voice that comes and goes
  • 09Sub — the weight under everything
WHAT YOU GET YOUR HANDS ON

A GENERATOR
YOU CAN ARGUE WITH.

Let it run on its own for hours, or stop it, open a clip and make the track yours. Then take it out as a mix or as stems.

ENDLESS

Press play and it does not stop. When a track nears its end, the next one is already being written and is mixed in over the last bars — low end swapped, mids and highs handed over — the way a DJ would.

SEQUENCER

Every layer sits in one shared sequencer. Open a clip and change it, mute a layer, or let the generator keep going around your edits.

NAMES AND VOICES

Every track gets its own title and its own spoken phrases, made on your computer.

ROOM

A stereo room around the mix, with a mono, solid low end.

EXPORT

WAV, MP3 or FLAC of the mix, or separate stems for every layer, normalised to a loudness you choose.

VISUALIZERS

The same audio-reactive visualizers as the rest of the line, driven by the layers as they play. Full screen if you want it.

003 / THE NAMEBETWEEN ONE STATE AND THE NEXT

THE TRACK
ENDS.
THE NIGHT DOESN’T.

Bardo is the second Deep Trip instrument. It is built for long, dark sessions: in the studio, on a stream, or as the start of your own track.

Every Bardo key also unlocks Deep Trip Visuals.

BARDO / ˈbɑːrdoʊ /

The in-between state: the passage from one life to the next.
