A legit Moog in your MPC??? // Akai Mini D Review & Comparison
video upload by Tefty & Meems

"Checking out the new MPC AIR Mini D plugin for the MPC One/Live/X/Force and MPC 2 Software. I go through the general features, a quick sampling of presets, make a patch, and compare it against the Behringer Model D, DIVA, and The Legend. Not a true scientific comparison! Just a general musician focused comparison.

Thank you Akai for the early access to AIR Mini D!"

Ambient Hydrasynth Explorer // Tefty & Meems

video upload by Tefty & Meems

"Our first ambient jam with the @ASM Ashun Sound Machines Hydrasynth Explorer! Strictly used presets from the 'ambient' and 'arp' categories and tweaked from there. Everything was tracked to Ableton one at a time. Meems improvised vocals at the end. We've been posting a fair bit of ambient tracks recently, but we have a synthwave album in the works! Going to be done soooooon. Excited to share when the tracks are finished."

Synth Saturdays! Ambient Jam with the Korg Modwave, Aeros Loop Studio & Microcosm

video upload by Tefty & Meems

"Really enjoying the @Korg Modwave so far. This is our first jam with the synth. Per usual, an ambient looped experience. Using the trusty @Singular Sound Aeros Loop Studio to first capture an arp patch, followed by textured wavetable sounds. The Aeros is chained to the @Hologram Electronics Microcosm which is blended towards the end of the jam for a beautiful transition. Meems recorded her improvisation the following day in one take."

Dreadbox Nymphes plus Launchkey Mini is a fun combo 👍

video upload by Tefty & Meems

"First time playing with the @Dreadbox Nymphes and the @NovationTV Launchkey Mini. Surprisingly fun and compact combo! This video chronicles a straight forward lofi dream pop jam made with this setup, in Ableton Live."

Airport Goodbyes // Ambient Novation Summit

video upload by Tefty & Meems

"Today's video is a short improvised ambient set using the @NovationTV Summit keyboard. Everything was recorded into Ableton Live with no click. Additionally we added Luftrum field recordings into the mix afterwards for some extra ambience. The vocals and field recordings had some extra spatial effects added from Glitchmachines Fracture and Hysteresis plugins.

Also the vocal reverb is Valhalla Room with a bit of Valhalla Delay."

MPC Live 2 Hybrid Hardware Setup - Sharing our current synth setup

video upload by Tefty & Meems

"Just sharing our current hybrid synth setup! It focuses on the MPC Live 2 as the main sequencer, but everything is being routed into Ableton Live for VST effects and multitracking when we have our set ready."

Ambient Set - Take 5, Wavestate, Microcosm, Big Sky - Tefty & Meems

video upload by Tefty & Meems

"The @Hologram Electronics Microcosm looping has been great for ambient music. Did this set basically improvised utilizing the Microcosm's looper. The @strymon Big Sky tied the sounds together post looper. The instrumental and Meems voice were multi tracked to Ableton Live for a mix a few weeks later. Both the @Korg Wavestate and @Sequential Take 5 were patched into a mixer that was patching the audio to the Microcosm. This allowed for capturing loops from both the Take 5 and Wavestate as desired.

Also, during the mix phase, we sent Meems vox back into the Microcosm for another layer of dreamy dimension into the mix. You hear it more on the second and third track as extra 'phantom voices'."

Octatrack, Analog Four, Peak Jam with live vocals - Tefty & Meems

video by Tefty & Meems

"Hello! We got a jam for you today using the #Elektron​ Octatrack mk2, Analog Four mk2, and the Novation Peak. Tracked it all live and then did a quick mix in Ableton. We talk about the process after the jam."

Writing a cue with Korg Opsix & Ableton Live // Hybrid Synth Composing

video by Tefty & Meems

"Welcome back! We decided to do a bit of an experimental, scoring type of video with the Opsix this time around. Shoutout to Korg for allowing us to test drive the Opsix and make videos. We're not sponsored in any way, but we do have a review unit that we'll have to send back afterwards.

The approach for this video was to write a dreamy scifi cue. The Opsix did a great job sonically. Didn't end up writing new patches. Just tweaked stock patches for sonic inspiration.

Towards the end loaded up a Grand Piano patch from 8Dio (https://bit.ly/2LSlpNq​) and some string sections from Spitfire's BBCSO library.

Footage at the end was a hike we did in early Nov 2020 of Lake Tahoe Rubicon Trail."

DSI Pro 3, iPad Pro Samplr, Drumbrute Impact - Distortion Improv Jam - Tefty & Meems

Published on Apr 8, 2020 Tefty & Meems

Spotted this one on discchord.

"This jam we test out the DSI Pro 3 synth and an iPad Pro app Samplr for the first time in a gritty, more distorted jam. The Drumbrute Impact has separate outs routed to the Mackie board and having the inputs distorting in the red. Same with the Pro 3, the inputs are clipping the Mackie board."

Overview at 3:15.

Here's that Hainbach video they mention:

Using overdrive creatively: preamps, pedals, plugins, test equipment

Premiered Mar 30, 2020 HAINBACH

"In which I detail ways to overdrive signals to make synth and drum machine recordings more engaging - from subtle gain shaping with vintage mixers to all out nuclear test equipment destruction, as well pedals, plugins and modules."
