Deeper [Korg DS-10 track, live, work in progress]

"test run through a track that needs some live performance. Think this one ended up too "twiddly"."

Additional info:
"A live performance, with much Kaoss Pad twiddling, of a groove-driven Korg DS-10 track that has been a while in the making. The track is performed on the DS-10+ cart, but it don't use any of the extra features of the newer cart. No outboard effects or plugins were used, just the inbuilt effects and (automatic) compression in the DS-10.

The DS-10 is capable of much more than the bleepy chiptune vibe that is suggested by its humble hardware. The drum voices use their individual effects settings for lo-fi waveguide synthesis to get metallic timbres for the snare and high-hat, or to make evolving textured drones and vocalish sounds with drum voice 4 at various pitches. The synth voices use old-school analogue modular patches with plenty of modulation. I think that it makes a pretty good demo of what you can push the DS-10 into doing, albeit at the hands of a non-musician. :-)

Video is to show Kaoss Pad noodling, Soundcloud is higher quality and gives a download for the original track in lossless FLAC."

"'Naked' Korg DS-10 track with lots of live performance in it.I'm pretty happy with some of the patterns and sounds, less sure about the performance.

No other synths or effects used in this - recorded into the mic input of a Lexicon Lambda using Reaper, trimmed and uploaded as FLAC.

Original is free to download, creative commons licenses apply."

"Some sounds I came up with when trying out my newly configured modular synth rack. I'm using the K2579 Step Sequencer to generate melodies, and using 2x K3020 Dual VCOs for both making sounds and providing LFOs. I've got an auto-panner effect hooked up as well.

New modules in the system this time are my DIY slew limiter, step sequencer, CV processor, envelope generator, VCA, mixer, reverb / delay, and voltage source. Most of them are used in this patch."
