An odd theme

YouTube via attorks

"A sort-of Chinese like theme with a sequenced accompaniment may seem an odd combination. But I kind of liked it. The internal sequencer of the Waldorf Q Keyboard is the master sequencer; the Doepfer MAQ16/3 is synchronized to that. The sound from the Waldorf Q Keyboard is the first sequence you hear. The MFM, using the Synthesizers.com Q107 filter is the 2nd sequencer you hear; the MFM is driven by the MAQ 16/3. The 3rd sequence you hear is from the Creamware MiniMax ASB (not visible in the video) which is driven by the internal Waldorf Q Keyboard sequencer. The first solo is from the Korg 900PS with an Oldfield-like sound. The Clavia Nord Lead 1 is also linked to the Synthesizers.com Modular so you hear 2 sounds when I play the Nord lead 1 keyboard for solo's. I had to shorten the video somewhat because of the YouTube limit of 10 minutes. The original video can be seen or downloaded from my website after 23 april."

A simple theme close-up

"This video has close-ups so you can follow most of what is happening. The difficulty was that at some point I play the bassline with my left hand and had to do all the camera positioning and the solo's with my right hand. The first sequence you hear is performed by the MFM Modular using the Synthesizers.com Q150 filter. The second sequence you hear is performed by slot A of the Nord Lead 1. The third bas sequence is performed by the Synthesizers.com Modular using the CGS Steiner filter. The bassline is performed by the MiniMax ASB using the AKAI AX80 keyboard. The solo's are performed on the Nord Lead 1 (slot B) and on the Korg 900PS. I had to shorten the video a little bit because of the YouTube limit of 10 minutes. The original video is 10:43 long and you can see or download it from my website."

"This time I recorded the video and audio with different applications. But I noticed the video is not as smooth as it should be. Row 1 of the MAQ16/3 has an 8 step sequence for the 2 modulars. Row 3 transposes row 1. Row 2 drives the chord memory chords on the AX80. The Nord Lead 1 has a kind of PPG like sound."

"This time tried to do some camera close-ups and moves but it is difficult doing it all alone. The video shows another sequencer improvisation.
The Synthesizers.com sequence starts dry and then I switch on the AKAI Head Rush E2 in tape echo mode (blue device on the top right of the DotCom). You can hear how the sequence becomes alive. When I switch the connect switch on the Q124, the CV of row 1 of the MAQ16/3 is connected to the 1V/Oct of the Q107. Row 1 drives the DotCom and the MFM. Row 2 drives the Nord Lead 1 which 2nd VCO is detuned 5 semitones down to simulate chords. Row 3 adds 2 semitones to row 1 each 8 steps. The solo is done on the Kawai 100F."

DotCom, MFM and MAQ 16/3 Sequence improvisation

"Sequence is the same as the last video except for 1 note. Just an improvisation of only the Doepfer MAQ16/3 sequencer with 2 x 8 steps, the Synthesizers.com and MFM Modulars"

"Some improvisation I made up this evening. Sequence is played on the 2 Modulars. In the first slow part only steps 1 and 5 of the 2 x 8 sequence on the Doepfer are active. In the second fast part all 2 x 8 sequence steps are active. Chords on the Nord Lead 1 and the solo on the Kawai 100F."

DotCom, MFM and Doepfer MAQ16/3

"Rhythm sequence with an 8 step sequence on row 1 of the MAQ16/3. Row 3 controls the dynamics of row 1 which results in a switch on/off for each step. The Synthesizers.com Modular on top produces the high RM type sound, the MFM below produces the low noisy sound."

"Row 1 of the MAQ16/3 drives the DotCom which sequence you hear prominently. Row 2 drives the MFM doing the bass. Rhythm by the Zoom RT-323 from which I also transpose the Modulars. Chords are done on the Nord Lead 1. The DotCom's output is going through a Behringer VP-1 vintage phaser and a Akai Head Rush E2 for the delay. The Lexicon MPX-100 is for the overall reverb."

"My first video. Sequences tempo is driven by the Zoom RT-323 from which I also transpose. The Doepfer MAQ16/3 drives the DotCom and MFM (My First Modular; self build)."
