Episode 2: Sequencing drums and melodies using LFOs
YouTube via williamenroh of inside synthesis.
"Not many synths have a mod sequencer like the Korg MS-2000 (demonstrated in Episode 1). But that doesn't mean you can't use LFOs to trigger drumbeats and melodies.
This video features an ESQ-1. While it has a sequencer, it doesn't have an arpeggiator, or any decent internal drum sounds, and certainly no way to key-trigger those sequences. This tutorial will show how to get decent drums and even simulate an arpeggiator, all dynamically triggered via the keyboard.
Plus, the techniques are relevant to almost any synthesizer."

Very good, well done, just as good as the first one. I enjoyed both of these and look forward to more.
ReplyDeleteWow, this was absolutely fantastic!
ReplyDeleteThis guy is precise and direct in his language.
ReplyDeleteHis production values are excellent.
He taught me something, clearly, and got me excited about the subject matter.
10/10
Excellent!
Another amazing video. He needs to create an entire synthesis instructional video. Would be a money maker.
ReplyDeleteWilliam, these videos are excellent and an inspiration to learn better patching skills.
ReplyDeleteThis video is constantly stopping on me. However, it gives me something interesting to do with my ESQ-1 =o]
ReplyDeleteReally Nice, now if only I had something with 3 LFOs. S'pose I could stack some patches on a Six-Trak. (well you did mention 20 year old gear.)
ReplyDeleteI really like using squares to add rhythmic qualities. Never thought about Saws as LFO amplitude modulators prior to seeing this.
Inside Synthesis is a timeless classic after only 2 episodes. Please keep it up.
wow, awesome.. except you had to go and ruin it with that last bit at the end :b
ReplyDeleteI agree, great video William. I'm looking forward to see what comes next!
ReplyDeleteKeep up the great vids.
