#BURG1K session 5 - #KORGmonologue #DrumBruteImpact #volca - upbeat and groovy, with some looper action through the monologue.

Adding the KORG monologue to the BURG1K setup really lifts it to the next level, the sequencer with the built in automation and parameter locks is really versatile.

I wanted to showcase on this track some sequencer automation while using the 720 stereo looper to play back pre recorded KORG volca key drones through external audio in on the monologue. This adds some extra sound design capabilities to any synth out there with ext audio in.. just pre record anything into the looper and have that playback over the sequence, pretty cool!

Automation used in the monologue:

- VCO2 octave, toggle
- VCO2 waveform, toggle
- ENV decay (subtle movements)

Adding to this i also use one LFO to control the filter in the monologue, the LFO is running free.

I hope you like this one, BoooM!
