EP133 KOII - - - - - - - - Roland S-1
video upload by Perplex On
"Sequencing the #rolands1 with the #ep133koii while playing with KO2‘s midi fx for dynamic speed control and additional midi notes on top of the sequence. Super fun! And since both devices use a mini midi jack, a regular 3.5mm jack cable connects both. Pretty convenient."

video upload by Craig Barnes
"This is my first pass through the Super JX-10 editor, just wired all the pots, sliders, display, buttons etc into the mux and MCP chips. All programmed up for testing. A lot more to do and test as it doesn't do anything with upper and lower sections yet or send out any NRPN or sysex messages."

Making a track from scratch with Launchkey

Chapters:
00:00 - Producing a track from scratch with Launchkey MK4
00:15 - Creating chords for a track with Launchkey
01:51 - Making a bassline for a track with Launchkey
04:42 - Laying down drums on a track with Launchkey
06:30 - Making an Arp pattern with Launchkey
08:15 - Using Fixed Chord Mode on Launchkey
10:05 - Tips when performing or jamming on Launchkey
"In this video, we create a track from scratch, finishing with a fully built-out song, utilising all of Launchkey’s creative features and the stock plugins available in Ableton Live Lite.
Starting with chords to establish the tone of the track, Rob uses Scale Mode and Chord Map to inspire melodic chord progressions. He progresses the track by adding the bass, then introduces the lead melody to work with and enhance the chords. Using performance modifiers, he transforms the chords by separating notes into melodic lines, while drums bring the track all together, with the help of Launchkey’s onboard Sequencer, making programming percussion easy. Rob also uses the Arpeggiator to create a melodic line that sits on top of the track.
Watch to the end of this video, where Rob performs live with Ableton’s clip launching, to arrange the elements in a live setting. He offers tips on performing and jamming live with Launchkey and Ableton, including using the encoders to adjust plugin parameters in real time and creating sweeping transitions that energise the arrangement.
Read the breakdown of Rob's process here."
