can I run OTHER instruments through the microKORG? YES

Published on Aug 8, 2018 Daniel Kastner

"We are overdue for a video on how to run and process other instruments through the microKORG synthesizer. I hope this helps you accomplish beautiful and crushing new tones. These textures and drones can hold their own for recording or add to your overall composition.

Signal chain:
Roland TR-505
Korg microKORG
Traynor TS-50B"

Side note: for skipping steps in the arpeggiator, set the release to 0 and go from there. My guess is you need to allow the release to end before the next note is triggered, otherwise the "gate" effectively remains open.

You can also stack the two independant engines or split them. This sale also includes a lot of extras: DX 5-ROM Master Group, DX 7-ROM Master Group, DX 7-101,106 & 107 ROM Cartridges, DX 5 Performance ROM, Symphony 128 ROM, Symphony 128 RAM, 3 DX Ram1 Data Cartridges and a breath controller."

808 day: Norns/Foulplay, Digitakt & MB303

Published on Aug 8, 2018 junklight

"One of those days were I had an idea and literally only 20 minutes to do anything about it in.

My two favourite drum machines paying tribute to the wicked 808 - the soundtrack to so much _pleasure_ in my life!

It's a testament to how immediate these two rhythm makers are that I could make this so quickly. If I'd had more time I'd have added some Eurorack lines as well. Oh well - perhaps another day.........."

La Di Da Da - Live performance with Pocket Operators - Speak, Robot and Arcade

Published on Aug 8, 2018 Brian Leahy Art

"Live performance of my song 'La Di Da Da' with Pocket Operators!

I sampled my voice for this song with the Pocket Operator Speak and I discovered that using the 'Stutter Sweep' effect (#9) on that vocal sample creates this bizarre, awesome speaker-breaking bass swell. (Hear it in action at 1:45 in the video). I've never heard this effect sound this way before so it must be something particular about that vocal sample causing it to glitch out like that. In any case, happy accident. Love it!
