Korg Volca Keys Noodle "At the funeral of a computer"

Published on Sep 12, 2015

"Beatstep Pro driving a Nord Drum2 and a sequence on the Volca Keys using Tempo from the Beatstep.

Settings:

Volca Keys : Set mostly to POLY with 5 different sequences and some automation. Then occasionally popped up to UNISON mode for a non poly sound. Audio signal from the Volca is passed through an Eventide H9 Pedal using the Dark Angels "Shimmer" preset.

Keyboard: Playing Ipad Mini FM synth called DXi FM synthesizer
By Takashi Mizuhiki. I am playing a bell sound called GlassBeadSA for the small filler sections on the M-Audio KeystationMini32. I crank up the effect Delay and Delay depth in the Dxi App itself.

Ipad out is via the Lightning cable using MusicIO to send midi from the keyboard into the Mac before then pulling the digital audio signal back. I have another video on the excellent MusicIO app which is perfect for pulling sound and sending midi to an Ipad.

Ableton is used for occasional triggered samples using the DJTechtools Midifighter 3D.

Korg Monotribe used for a short repeated background sequence. The Monotribe sound output is through an Electro-Harmonix and then through a Flashback by TC Electronic to create a nice reverb echo.

Recording is completed live (accept my pre-planned sequences are not live) into a GoPro Hero4 which is up above my workbench. Audio is sucked into my Mac via the ART USBPre two channel audio interface and mixed in the simple application Audio Hijack, basically making the Mono sounds from the Korg kit a central signal rather than in just one speaker. Then the sound is pumped back out of the Art USB pre and into a headphone monitor cable that climbs up into the USBMic jack directly on the GoPro Hero4. So no video and audio mixing is required because the sound is mixed and recorded live into the Gopro.

Mabel the pug is a great audience, she just snores in appreciation (Spot the Pug)"
