TRON: Legacy – End Titles | Synth Cover

video upload by Marcus Padrini

"Meu desprentesioso cover de “End Titles”, da trilha de TRON: Legacy, composta pelo Daft Punk. Sequenciei a performance no MPC Keys 61 e gravei tudo ao vivo , contando principalmente com o Donner B1 como synth principal.

O Donner B1 traz os sons inspirados na TB-303, já tem overdrive e delay embutidos, o que facilita chegar numa sonoridade mais próxima do synth da trilha. A Roland TR-6S faz a bateria, com compressor e um filtro low pass para a parte final; o Air JURA no MPC e o EMW VPoly 6X ficaram responsáveis pelos pads e o Behringer Solina, por strings. O lead fica com o Moog Sub 37, com sub oscilador na parte final."

"My casual cover of 'End Titles' from the *TRON: Legacy* soundtrack, composed by Daft Punk. I sequenced the performance on the MPC Keys 61 and recorded everything live, relying primarily on the Donner B1 as the main synth.

The Donner B1 delivers TB-303-inspired sounds and features built-in overdrive and delay, making it easier to achieve a tone close to the original soundtrack synth. The Roland TR-6S handles the drums, using a compressor and a low-pass filter for the final section; the Air JURA (on the MPC) and the EMW VPoly 6X cover the pads, while the Behringer Solina handles the strings. The lead part is played by the Moog Sub 37, incorporating a sub-oscillator during the finale."

"I developed a custom operating system for the Akai S900 and Akai S950 samplers which turns them into real-time signal processors. You can run audio through them and have them add that 12-bit grit without having to worry about sample time.

If you have an s900 or s950, download it for free:

S900FX and S950FX Anti-Alias mod

video upload by Mike Feedback

"I corrected a sample rate bug and added the ability to turn off the anti-alias filter in the latest version of S900FX and S950FX.

S900FX and S950FX are custom operating systems for the Akai S900 and Akai S950 that turn the hardware into signal processors that allow you to apply their 12-bit grit to the audio signal in real-time. Pass the audio through them and record into your modern sampler.

Is this the most beautiful MIDI instrument ever? #murobox

video upload by Floyd Steinberg

"The Muro Box N40 ( https://murobox.com/en/product/muro-b... ) is a MIDI-fied musicbox with a 40 note range. You can play it like an electric piano or use it as a standard musicbox with its app, which gives you access to a virtually unlimited number of songs to play back. In this video, I'm capturing the audio into my MPC Live III, using a variety of effects to include the Muro Box' sound into electronic music. Table of contents:

How Recorded Sound Became an Instrument | Voltage Labs

video upload by Voltage Labs

"Sampling changed the way music could be made.

What began with tape loops and musique concrète evolved through machines like the Fairlight CMI, SP-1200, Akai S950, MPC and ASR-10: each introducing new limitations, new workflows and, eventually, entirely new musical languages.

From hip-hop and jungle to French house, microhouse and experimental electronics, producers learned to treat recorded sound not as something fixed, but as raw material.

This video traces how the sampler became an instrument and how chopping, pitching, looping, resampling and microsampling reshaped electronic music."

The best groovebox he's ever played | Akai MPC Key 37 G2 live performance

video upload by Jay Hosking

"Please support my work on Patreon: / jayhosking
A live synthesizer performance using only the MPC Key 37 G2.

To be clear: I bought this synth with my own money, thanks to the support of my Patreon community. So while I recognize that the following praise seems effusive, it's the truth.

I got into hardware through grooveboxes. I started with the Novation Circuit and got more complex from there. The groovebox—sequencer, multiple timbres of synth, drums, samples, and effects—is my happy place. And while many devices have been good, I've never found "the one", that one groovebox that does everything you want it to do. Until now, maybe.

I've played with MPCs quite a bit over the last few years, but this newest generation, and this model in particular, is the one. It's a combination of things: a mature platform with fast loading and workflow; every conceivable sound type I want, from synths to samples to piano; a robust collection of effects, with great reverbs, delays, and ways to mess up a sound; more tracks than I'll ever need for a song; a sequencer without the limitations of 64 or 128 steps; clip launching; simple audio recording in; auto-sampling to capture your own sounds; MIDI in and out via 5-pin DIN and USB; MIDI learn with peripheral MIDI controllers that works flawlessly; USB multi-track audio recording that just works without a hitch; so much more.
