Locks ๐ (Elektron Digitone + Rmx500 // Korg Minilogue Xd + Strymon Deco // ARP2600m + Eventide H90)
video upload by 2-Minute Warning
"The center piece of this jam is the Elektron Digitone (fed into the Pioneer RMX-500 effect) which is playing the DRUM part + some FM synth sequences (a lot of automation/p-locks and probability sequencing used here ๐) and sequencing with its 4 MIDI tracks, the bassline played by the Korg Arp 2600 M (through the Eventide H90).
The Korg Minilogue XD is being used in standalone mode here, sequencing and playing the CHORDS.
A few tricks featured here:
I used the 4 MIDI tracks of the Digitone to sequence the bassline on the ARP 2600 M. Thus each MIDI track is playing a different pattern, which makes it easy to switch between 4 patterns ;)
I used the ROLL effect of the RMX-500 to loop a part of the audio coming from the Digitone (which led to the four-on-the-floor part)
The Minilogue XD can only play one sequence per sound. I switched from the POLY mode (for the CHORD part) to the UNISON mode (for the LEAD part), giving the impression that 2 different sequences are being played consecutively."

Epic Bells ๐ (Hapax sequencing Nymphes + Bigsky // Minitaur // Tanzbar + Boum // Waldorf M v1.10)
video upload by 2-Minute Warning
"In this track, the Hapax is sequencing all 5 instruments: Nymphes + Bigsky reverb (PADS), Tanzbar + Boum warming unit (DRUMS), Minitaur (BASS), M (BELLS) and S-1 (PLUCK CHORDS).
I've used a few of the cool features of the Hapax as the FILL button, the MIDI effects (MIDI ECHO introduced in v2.0, RANDOMIZER, HARMONIZER...), step probabilities, CC automation etc.
It's also the first track featuring the M with the v1.10 firmware, and the Oto Machines - Boum effect ๐คฉ๐ฅ!
I've been hesitating for a long time to get one as I already have the Elektron Analog Heat MKII ๐ But I really don't regret buying one finally as it can really modify the sound in a way that the Analog Heat can't (the Analog Heat doesn't really have a compressor, but it can be simulated using its internal envelope follower).
* Hardware used *
// PADS:Dreadbox Nymphes (6-voice analog synth) + Strymon Bigsky (reverb)
// DRUMS: MFB Tanzbar (16-voice analog drum machine) + Oto Machines Boum "Warming Unit" (stereo analog compressor, distortion, filter...)
// BASS: Moog Minitaur (analog mono synth)
// BELLS: Waldorf M (8-voice digital/analog hybrid synth)
// PLUCK CHORDS: Roland S-1 (4-voice digital synth, inspired by the famous mono synth SH-101)
// SEQUENCER: Squarp Instruments Hapax (firmware v2.0) sequencing all 5 instruments
Recorded in one shot and mixed in Ableton Live. A bit of chorus was added post recording on the BASS played by the Minitaur, in order to add more depth to the sound."

Sisters ๐ฉ❤️๐ฉ (Vermona Perfourmer Mk2 + H9 // DRM-1 Mk4 + Bigsky + Lethargy // Arturia Keystep Pro)
video upload by 2-Minute Warning
"As I've been posting a couple of Youtube Shorts lately, I made this "very long" video this time (the longest one on the channel, other than the "Going live at home video" https://youtu.be/qgIxJwxzqlA ๐).
For this one, I used 2 analog instruments (Perfourmer Mk2 and DRM-1 Mk4) sequenced by the Keystep Pro (KSP) https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list....
I made heavy use of a lot of cool features of the KSP like: polymeter, randomness, step skip, looper, transposing within scale, scenes, individual drum mutes, quick toggle between 2 drum patterns (this one is a bit of a trick of mine) ๐คฉ
So the track starts with the KSP's Track 4 sequencing voices 3 & 4 of the Perfourmer (going through the H9 using its tape delay effect, where you can clearly hear the nostalgic "wow & flutter").
I then unmute the KICK and SNARE (played by the DRM-1) abd BASS (played by the Perfourmer, but going out DRY by its seperate audio output).
The other tracks are then unmuted and I start to transpose live the played sequences (you know I love this feature, right?).
Further on I use the KSP's "Scene" feature to load different patterns for the "chorus" part.
You can hear me playing with some parameters of the DRM-1's CLAP sound, which is going through the Dreadbox Lethargy analog phaser (using the DRM-1's handy insert jack!).
I also trigger manually a couple of times the MULTI voice of the DRM-1 (which is going through the Bigsky reverb), for the build etc.
The track then heads to a more "experimental" outro part consisting of 5 step patterns (where I shifted the analog phaser from the CLAP insert jack to the HIHAT2 insert jack).
* Hardware used *
// BASS:
- Vermona Perfourmer Mk2 Voice 1
// SYNTHS:
- Vermona Perfourmer Mk2 Voice 2, Voices 3&4 + Eventide H9 Max (tape delay) + Pill (ducking pedal, triggered by the KICK from DRM-1)
// DRUMS:

Brothers ๐จ๐ฆ๐ฆ (Vermona DRM1 MKIV 8-voice analog drum synth // Perfourmer MKII + H9 + Bigsky + Pill)
video upload by 2-Minute Warning
"First video featuring the Vermona DRM-1 8-voice analog drum synth ๐ For a long time I've been stopping myself from getting one as I already have the MAM ADX-1 which is a bit an ancestor of this DRM-1! But the Vermona Perfourmer was feeling a bit lonely ๐
In this video, I decided to use my DAW to sequence both instruments as I wanted to be able to "play" the knobs on the instruments ๐
The track starts with the BASS (Voice 1 of the Perfourmer) and PLUCK (Voice 3 panned left & voice 4 panned right, of the Perfourmer through the H9 reverb). Then comes the KICK (Voice 1 of the DRM1) which is going into the Pill ducking pedal to trigger it.
Afterwards arrives the LEAD (Voice 3 of the Perfourmer through the Bigsky reverb + Pill ducking pedal) and the 7 other voices of the DRM1 (wanted initially to use them through the Particle granular delay, but didn't have enough time to blend it in! ๐ ).
* Hardware used *
// BASS:
- Vermona Perfourmer Voice 1
// LEAD:
- Vermona Perfourmer Voice 2 + Strymon Bigsky (reverb) + Pill (ducking pedal)

Dimension ๐ฒ (Elektron Digitone + Particle + Deco // Korg Drumlogue // Sequential Take 5)
video upload by 2-Minute Warning
"This is the last video closing the trilogy featuring the Take 5 and Digitone! [previous videos below this one via this link]
The track begins with a sequence played by the Digitone (through the Particle granular delay which is being blended in from time to time on the intro + Deco tape saturation & doubletracker pedal effect).
Then the analog tracks of the Drumlogue are being unmuted, along with the BASS & LEAD which are being played live on the Take 5.
As often, I'm using only one pattern on the Digitone and one on the Drumlogue (but used a lot of automation, probability etc. to add variations)
Further on I switch to the LOOP mode on the Drumlogue in order to add some real time breaks."

Shuffle Trip ๐ (Elektron Digitone + Particle + Deco // Korg Drumlogue // Sequential Take 5)
video upload by 2-Minute Warning
"This track starts with a PAD sound sequenced and played by the Elektron Digitone (Polyphonic Digital Synthesizer). I then enable the Doubletracker effect (on the Strymon Deco 2 tape simulation pedal) and unmute 2 other tracks on the Digitone, playing a LEAD and CHIMES sounds.
Enters the Korg Drumlogue (analog and digital drum machine) with some DRUMS (I used only one drum pattern where I made use of STEP probability to add some variations to the pattern).
And finally the BASS line played by the Sequential Take 5, sequenced by one MIDI track of the Digitone. In order to create this beefy dirty BASS sound, I use the onboard OVERDRIVE and DISTORTION effect of the synth! ๐๐ค The BASS line is also playing in triplets to add an odd groove to the track (it wasn't so easy to program on the Digitone MIDI track as I needed to shift each notes off the grid manually ๐ ).
Hope you'll enjoy!"

Aureate ๐ (Sequential Take 5 // Elektron Digitone + Red Panda Particle + Strymon Deco 2) Chords Jam
video upload by 2-Minute Warning
"No sequencers were harmed during this recording! ๐ Just wanted to roam with some chords played live on the Take 5 analog synth. Further on I introduced the Digitone FM synth where I used 3 tracks (with 3 different sounds), where 2 of the tracks have their integrated ARPEGGIO enabled, with different settings in order to add some rhythmic complexity to the jam ๐ฅ
The Digitone is being fed into the Particle 2 granular delay then the Deco pedal, in order to add random variations to the FM sounds and some kind of LO-FI vibes!
The MIDI Out of the Take 5 synth is triggering the Digitone. Hence both synths are playing the same notes. However the 2 ARPs on the Digitone help bring the syncopated sounds.
I think that the blending of the analog and digital synths here, makes the global sound and texture of this jam sound quite interesting! Hope you liked it too? ๐

- Sequential Take 5 (5-voice analog synth)

Robust ๐ฆธ♂️ (Roland TR6S Rhythm Performer // S1 Tweak Synth // J6 Chord Synth) Synthwave
video upload by 2-Minute Warning
"In the wake of my previous video, here's a synthwave-like jam featuring the same 3 little boxes from Roland: the TR-6S (Drums), the S-1 (Bass) and the J-6 (Arp/Chords) ๐
The track starts with a drum pattern from the TR-6S where I only used the TR-707 Analog Circuit Behavior engine (I.E. no static 707 samples), modeling the quirks and instabilities of the analog envelope and amplifier stages that came after the D/A converter ๐คฉ (the TR-707 was PCM based, but still had some randomness thanks to the analog part after the D/A converter).
I also used the DRIVE master effect of the TR-6S to add some dirt and energy (the DRIVE somehow also act like a compressor).
I recorded 3 DRUM patterns (2 main parts and 1 break) but as I used the probability, sub probability, parameter-lock features etc. the drum patterns seem to be longer than 1 bar!
Then come the BASS (played by the S-1, I recorded 4 patterns which are 4-bar long for this) and the ARP/CHORDS played by the J-6 (I decided not to sequence this instrument as I wanted to trigger it live and bring some organic fluctuations to the track ๐).
For the sync part, the TR-6S is sending MIDI to the S-1, and the S-1 is sending analog clock to the J-6 (there was no need to start the J-6's sequencer as the ARP/CHORDS were triggered in real-time)."

Fragile ๐ (Roland TR-6S Rhythm Performer // S-1 Tweak Synth // J-6 Chord Synth)
video upload by 2-Minute Warning
"Here's a 2x 2-Minute jam featuring 3 little boxes from Roland: the TR-6S (Drums), the S-1 (Bass and Arp) and the J-6 (Pads) ๐บ
I've recorded a few patterns of each of the 3 instruments which are being chained up live in this jam.
On the DRUMS side played by the TR6S, there is quite a lot going on: I mainly used the Analog Circuit Behavior and FM Engines for the drum sounds. I used a few of the real time performance tools available: STEP LOOP, FILL IN, MASTER FX (Fuzz). I also took advantage of the polymectri capabilities of the sequencer, where the KICK's sequence length is different from the rest of the pattern (on the first part, it's a 6-step sequence playing, and on the last part, a 5-step sequence ๐).
For the BASS & ARP parts, I used the S1 (which fortunately is polyphonic ๐). I also played with its integrated 'Riser' effect for the transitions.
I recorded 3 patterns on the J-6, among which the last one is being syncopated thanks its 'phrase type' feature (a bit like an arpeggiator effect). The J-6 is being synced to the S-1 by their analog clocks (through the translucent cable, where you can see a little red LED lightening up with each clock pulse coming into the J-6)."

From scratch - Needles ๐งต (Perfourmer Mk2 + Superego+ + H9 // Deco v2 // Simplifier Dlx // Hapax)
video upload by 2-Minute Warning
"This is a 'from scratch' jam featuring only one instrument, the Vermona Perfourmer Mk2, 4-voice analog synth. I've used its individual outputs for the BASS which is being saturated with the Deco v2 pedal, and LEAD through the Simplifier Dlx analog amp.
The PLUCK riff is being fed into the Superego Plus synth-freeze engine and H9 delay.
The PLUCK and BASS are being sequenced and the LEAD played live on the Hapax hardware sequencer.
I used the RANDOMIZER and SCALE MIDI effects of the Hapax in order to transpose occasionally and randomly the PLUCK (for the riff to be a bit more interesting ๐).
The PLUCK is also being turned sometimes into a PAD when I activate (green button) the Superego+ pedal."

Fissure ๐ (Hapax 2.0 // Perfourmer Mk2 + H9 + Pill // TR6S // LXR02 // JU06 + Deco v2)
video upload by 2-Minute Warning
"February 2024, back to the 2-Minute format! (well actually it was a 4:30 jam with a bridge, an outro with different chords etc. but had to justify a bit the name of the channel I think ๐ )
This jam is built around a 10-step pattern from the Hapax sequencing the Perfourmer (through the H9 reverb and Pill ducking pedal, triggered by a GATE track from the Hapax). To make this 10-step pattern which drives the whole track sound a bit more complex, I made it play with 3 different voices of the Perfourmer (this is one of the main reasons I bought a Perfourmer a few years ago!). Hence each note is playing a voice with a different oscillator. So it's a 10-step sequence where the oscillators are being played in round robin mode each 3 notes. To make it even more spicy, I also used the Hapax's real-time RANDOMIZER MIDI effect which is transposing some notes randomly!
For the PERCUSSIVE parts, we are in a more classic mode with the main DRUMS being played by the TR-6S and the secondary DRUMS by the LXR-02 (both still sequenced by the Hapax).
And the BASS, is being played by the JU-06A through the DECO v2 pedal."

Ram ♈ (Waldorf M + Analog Heat + Rooms + Pill // TR6S // Minitaur // S1 + Particle // Keystep Pro)
video upload by 2-Minute Warning
"A 4-minute uptempo jam for the first video of 2024! ๐ May all your wishes come true this year!
The Arturia Keystep Pro (KSP) is sequencing:
- the PADS played by the Waldorf M through the Elektron Analog Heat MkII (using mainly its analog filter modulated by one of its LFO) + Rooms reverb + Pill ducking pedal (triggered by the kick from the TR-6S).
- the BASS played by the Moog Minitaur. I used the 'Chain' patterns of the KSP to make a long bass line.
The DRUMS are being sequenced/played by the Roland TR-6S (I used its onboard filter on the master BUS for the builds).
And the LEAD sound played in real time on the Roland S-1 synth, through the Red Panda Particle 2 granular delay."

Lunar - Ambient Noise ๐ (Arp 2600 m // Waldorf M + Red Panda Particle 2 // Arturia Keystep Pro)
video upload by 2-Minute Warning
"For the last video of 2023, I really wanted to spotlight the raw sound of the amazin ARP 2600 M ๐คฉ
So throughout the whole track, you'll only hear the sound coming directly from the ARP 2600 M without any external effects, though I did use its onboard spring reverb (+ a bit of EQ/comp where used for mixing purposes).
Contrary to my previous (which was the first) video featuring the ARP which was an uptempo track, no beats or kick here! Only the ARP and the Waldorf M (+ Particle granular delay).
The same track from the Keystep Pro is sequencing both synths.
As you can see, I use some patching in this one for the ARP:
- The VCF output is going through its preamp input to make the distorted sound you gradually hear (it's being played in parallel of the dry sound coming out from VCF output)
- I also used the LFO to modulate the filter and pulse width of oscillator 2
- I did did some patching as well, in order to play portamento with one of the ARP's oscillator (using the voltage processor "Lag Time")

// SYNTH:
- Korg ARP 2600 M (semi modular analog synth) - RAW sound
- Waldorf M (8-voice hybrid digital and analog wavetable) + Red Panda Particle v2 (digital granular delay)

The Great Hapax Experiment Vol. 1 - Squarp Hapax sequencing loads of stuff and Cocoquantus improvs
video upload by -CALC-
"Sat with this one quite a bit for quite a bit.... kept it unlisted for over a year but after some revisits thought maybe its time to put it out there. Still stand by what I initially thought, its a "Curate's egg... Good in parts". Squarp and Coco were still newish at the time of this jam so still finding the feels.
This is what I thought of it back then:
I got a new brain!
Here's a full 45 minute noodle with the incredible Squarp Hapax front and centre. To say this is the most powerful hardware sequencer I have ever got my hands on is a total understatement.
WARNING This pretty experimental jam is not for the faint hearted in certain sections. Focussing on Hapax and the CocoQuantus it gets noisy and out there but that's what I love these days.
It was improvised and live-sequenced over a couple of initially formed sequences.
There are good bits but also some really bad sections in the middle too. I considered cutting these out but that would be a hard edit and they eventually do settle down.
I'd say the worst bits are:
20:30 - 21:26 (shitty idea to try and record a kick bass line without tuning the kick!)
28:39 - 29:42 (combo of not realising that the 1010 Blue box was turned down and having a few moments of forgetting how the CocoQuantus worked... oh and a pesky Buchla sequence I forgot to stop!)
Hapax is firing off and controlling a ton of stuff in the room:
Circuit Rhythm
Ciat Lonbarde CocoQuantus (clocking the loopers)
Nord Drum 3p
Rossum Electro Assimil8or (through CV.OCD)
Meng Qi Wingie 2
Novation Summit - also acting as a controller keyboard for everything in the set-up
Buchla 208C
Norns (running Plonky Script for multisamples)
Just Friends in polysynth mode
Vongon Polyphrase
Vongon Ultrasheer
Mutable Instruments Beads
and some dodgy singing
All connected via Hapax's MIDI Outs and a Conductive Labs MRCC"

Enjoy ✨ (Arp2600m + H9 + Pill Pedal // Arturia Keystep Pro v2.5 // Moog Minitaur // MFB Tanzbar)
video upload by 2-Minute Warning
"This is my first video featuring the Korg ARP 2600 M, one of my dream synth! (might surely be because of the heavy use of this synth by artists from the Mute label ๐)
For this first jam, I used the ARP in paraphonic mode: Track 3 of the Keystep Pro is sequencing the main riff played by the ARP, and Track 4 is sending CV to the ARP's oscillator 3, thus playing a melody other the main riff.
At the beginning you hear the ARP nearly dry, and I quickly fade in its beautiful integrated spring reverb and the Eventide's H9 Vintage Delay.
I also found a cool trick to temporarily mimic a reverse effect on the sequence played by the ARP, by switching from the ADSR envelope to the AR envelope (where I added more Attack). I used this a couple of times to make some real time breaks ๐
The drums are being played by my mighty analog drum machine: the MFB Tanzbar, however sequenced by the Keystep Pro's Track 1 (Drum track) for this time. The Tanzbar's kick is triggering the Pill Pedal, which is ducking the ARP!
The bass is from the Moog Minitaur (sequenced by the KSP's Track 2).
I also updated my KSP to v2.5 which adds some handy new features, like the "Transpose Latch", which I've been waiting for a long time ๐ฅฐ Hence, I can use my left hand to transpose the sequences and my right hand to move faders etc. ๐ค

House 90 ๐น (Hapax sequencer // JD08 // 0Coast + Apocalypse + H9 // Nymphes + Julianna + Pill // S1)
video upload by 2-Minute Warning
"The Squarp Hapax is probably one of the most powerful hardware sequencer I've used ๐คฉ In this video it's at the heart of the setup, sequencing the Roland JD-08 (synth & piano chords), the Make Noise 0-Coast (tonal kick) and the Dreadbox Nymphes (pulsing bass). The Roland S-1 is being played in real-time on the bridge part.
I used a lot of features of the Hapax in this video:
- The Euclid and Swing midi effects for the synth and piano chords
- The conditional trigs to add fills etc., chance (probability for some notes to play or not) and roll
- CC automation, used to modulate the cutoff, noise oscillator on the bassline played by the Nymphes
- CV modulation on the 0-Coast (you can see the signals being sent by the red/green connectors at the back of the Hapax)

Pilot ๐งญ (TR-6S with new "808 Chromatic Bass", sequencing MAM ADX1 + Timeline // Sequential Take 5)
video upload by 2-Minute Warning
"In this jam, I'm exploring the Roland TR-6S' capability to sequence external instruments, in this case the MAM (Music And More) ADX-1, 5-voice analog drum module ๐ฅ!
I used 4 tracks (white illuminated faders, labeled LT, HC, CH and OH) of the TR-6S to sequence 4 parts of the ADX-1 (named Synth, Snare, Hihat and Metal). I even used the "alternate instrument" sequencing feature of the TR-6S to sequence for example the closed/opened Hihat of the ADX-1 (i.e. sending 2 different notes to only one part of the ADX-1) ๐
At first I only wanted to use the TR-6S as a sequencer (not its internal sounds), however I ended up using on Track 1 its "CR-78" kick, on Track 2 its new "808 Chromatic Bass", and also layering the parts played by the ADX-1 with sounds from the TR-6S (4 last tracks). Fun fact: I didn't use any samples here ๐ All the sounds coming from the TR-6S are from the modeling ACB (Analog Circuit Behavior) engine!
To be able to change the bass pitches coming from the TR-6S, I used different "variations" of the pattern, with different tunings of the "808 Chromatic Bass".
It was not very easy to jam with the Sequential Take 5 synth and change the pattern's variations at the same time, but nonetheless still fun and challenging ๐
