Guy J - Lamur - Tony's Live Hardware Remix

Published on Jul 15, 2015 Tony Horgan

"My recreation of the Guy J classic, played live on a Korg Volca Keys, Volca Bass, Roland Aira TR-8 and Cyclone Analogic TT-303 Bass Bot. Recorded on a Tascam DP24. Check out the original mix and super-funky Henry Saiz remix if you like this :-) https://pro.beatport.com/release/lamu... Tech details follow for those who are interested.... The TR-8 is the MIDI master, which starts all the other gear. The bassline is played on the TT-303 Bass Bot in "Track" mode, using 4 patterns. The chords are played by the Korg Volca Bass, which is set to a tempo of 16bpm (1/8th of the song's tempo of 128bpm). This is not synced with a cable, just started manually. The Volca Bass is sent through the Gate on the TR8 to give it a rhythmic pulsing sound. The main melody is played on the Volca Keys, made up of two patterns recorded in 1/4 tempo in Flux mode to get more notes in. To get the melody into the Volca Keys, it was programmed on a Bass Bot and then sent to the Volca Keys via MIDI, with the Volca Keys set to Record mode. All effects are from the Tascam DP24 (compression, EQ and delay)."
