Analogue Solutions Europa & Telemark - Pattern Creation w/ Depeche Mode Samples

YouTube via rezfilter | October 11, 2010

"Here's a video demonstrating the Analogue Solutions Europa hardware MIDI sequencer [www.analoguesolutions.com] in action, re-creating a classic beat (Depeche Mode's People are People).

The beat was created using Europa's Internal mode (not synced to MIDI clock or using outside sequencers). An Ensoniq ASR-10 was providing the drum samples in this case.

The Europa was also used to sequence the AS Telemark synthesizer at the end of the video and uses the Europa's velocity controls (per step key) to control the Telemark's filter (velocity to filter).

At the end of the vid, Europa is put into External clock mode and synced to MIDI clock (DAW sequencer). At this point, Europa will start/stop when the computer sequencer starts/stops. Europa also is sending sync to the AS Oberkorn MK3 sequencer, which is controlling the SE ObieRack.

Enjoy."

"Emax power today.

Gear:
Upper and Mid: Emu Emax
Lower: Emu EMAX II HD
Right (out of screen) : Yamaha DX7 II FD.

* Sound is overcompressed due to an overloaded output from the mixer into camera preamp (it uses to compress a lot even in normal levels). Hope it doesn't disturb too much. And yes, there is a mistake at one of the last notes :)
