ESK - twisted electrons MEGAfm Synth Setups

Published on May 2, 2020 Metunar

"Synth setup demos with the twisted electrons MEGAfm polyphonic 4OP-FM synth with Yamaha YM2612 chips.

Arturia Minibrute Setup:
MEGAfm mono out -- Arturia Minibrute filter input -- Lexicon MX200 effectunit stereo out

Haken Setup:
Haken Continuum Fingerboard midi out -- MEGAfm mono out -- Lexicon MX200 effectunit stereo out

The Haken Continuum Fingerboard is an old one with only midi out. I didn’t use the Y (Up/Down) and Z (Pressure) axis.

Elektron Digitone Setup:
MEGAfm Stereo out -- Elektron Digitone stereo out

In the beginning you hear the sound of the MEGAfm, followed by some sounds of the Digitone.
With 8 Midi CC i controlled the MEGAfm through the Digitone. I also used on the CC many parameter locks.
