Midicake UNA: building a track live on a Roland JUNO-X

video upload by midicake

"Watch Midicake UNA build a track from nothing on a Roland JUNO-X. Every sound is the JUNO-X. Every note comes from UNA and ARP, with the solo played live over the top.

It starts with a melody captured from the keys. The Bass track comes in, a three-chord chain is captured, and ARP takes over the drums. Then it's played live: the Modulators come on, the chord chain is switched off, and the chords go back to the player's hands.

UNA is a hands-on hardware composer for keyboards, synths, and the people who play. Hold a chord and the band starts. Change the chord and everything follows. Every pattern is parametric and playback is deterministic, so a pattern you like is a pattern you can repeat.

Midicake UNA is out now. The price you see is the price you pay, with duties and taxes included for the UK, EU, US, Canada, Switzerland and Australia."
