KORG VOLCA LIVE SESSION w AMBIENT GUITAR (Drone/Looping/Soundscape) Keys Bass Beats

Published on Feb 3, 2014 VolcaRock·10 videos

"KORG VOLCA Series on an AMBIENT psychedelic LIVE SESSION with ambient guitar live loops (Drones) & Roland Juno 60, Jomox Xbase 09 (just percussion sounds).
Main synths are Volca Keys, Bass and Beats with individual Hi Hat Output.
The Main Output of VOLCA BEATS goes to the Filter Input of my DOEPFER MS-404.

I have described in the video (filmed with 3 cams), which Synths are playing and muted. So you don't have to guess the different sounds.

In the middle of the session I used Waldorf Puls I for a Sample&Hold-sound, too. Yamaha RM1x is just used as Master MIDI-Clock (no use of internal sounds). Beats has MIDI-Out Mod and syncs my Boomerang III Looper, which is running in free mode. all synths use their internal sequencer/arp or are played live.
Recorded without overdubs and mastering in just one take.

I HOPE YOU ENJOY IT

Volca Keys signal left channel into MFB-Filterbox and right channel straight into the Submixer, with heavy use of Delay

Waldorf Microwave 1 w Access Programmer, Sound Set & Memory Cards

Note: Auction links are affiliate links for which the site may be compensated.

via this auction

Microwave SN 9232358
Access Programmer SN B19600412

"The Microwave itself has been recently serviced and re-capped by Abell Audio and given a clean bill of health. The Microwave has also been updated to the final version 2.0 software update. This is the Rev A version of the Microwave, which has the anodized finish and the Analog Curtis CEM 3389 voltage controlled filter and voltage controlled amplifiers. The anodized finish is much more durable than the painted Nextel finish of the Rev B. The differences between the CEM 3389 (rev A) and CEM 3387 (rev B) are subtle enough to likely be overlooked in the mix, but I have found the Rev A to have the ability to be slightly more snappy, and the Rev A has been reported to be more crisp and more open.

The Microwave comes with the original bound Performance Manual, bound Programming Manual, bound Addendum to Firmware revision 1.20 (now obsolete due to the 2.0 upgrade, but included for the completest), and the bound Microwave Software-Update Ver. 2.0 manual.

Included is the Access Microwave Programmer that brings the Microwave 1 more toward the knob per function school. A bound manual for the Microwave Programmer is included.

Also included are four professional soundset cards. Two are from Waldorf and are programmed by Dave Gould and Rob Papen. The remaining two are the two Metro Sound releases.

The remaining two cards are custom built memory cards, each of which holds 6 banks worth of programs. The standard memory cards for the Microwave 1 hold only 2 banks. These two cards hold the equivalent to 6 standard memory cards. The original documentation for the cards is included..."

Rob Papen plug-ins go standalone with RP-Dock

"ECHT, THE NETHERLANDS: virtual instrument and effects plug-in developer Rob Papen Soundware is proud to announce availability of RP-Dock, a standalone Mac- and PC-compatible host application for all its current products, as of May 30...

Other than proving popular with an ever-increasing, diversified worldwide user base of music production professionals and amateurs, Rob Papen’s growing family of ear-opening virtual instrument and effects plug-ins all have something crucial in common: they cannot run as standalone products, but rather require a host DAW application to function. Or do they?

That was then, this is now. Today, thanks to RP-Dock, any Rob Papen product — from BLUE to Blade and any effects plug-in in between and beyond — can be freed from the confines of a DAW host application to run freely... perfect for playing live onstage or in the studio, or simply noodling with synth sounds and effects! The choice is out there for those music production professionals and amateurs alike.

According to George Michael’s programmer and co-producer, James Jackman, the multi-million-selling singer-songwriter superstar has been benefitting from Rob Papen’s namesake founder’s decades-long study of reverb by making much use of the stunning-sounding RP-Verb plug-in on his eagerly-awaited forthcoming album, for instance. Now it’s possible for him to use RP-Verb as a standalone reverb when working with a large-format mixing console courtesy of RP-Dock — software and hardware living in perfect harmony!

But Rob Papen being Rob Papen, there’s a whole lot more besides on offer here. In addition to its classic chromatic keyboard, RP-Dock boast several other handy onscreen features, including an audio recording/playback facility with selectable SAMPLE RATE ranging from 44.1 to 96kHz and MIDI INPUT to merge all connected MIDI controllers, plus MIDI CHANNEL selection and TEMPO setting.

Without question, then, RP-Dock is a user-friendly, flexible tool that Rob Papen’s ever-increasing, diversified worldwide user base benefits from full stop. But best of all, it’s free for all!

Mac (32-bit) and PC (32- and 64-bit) versions of RP-Dock can be downloaded directly for free from here: http://www.robpapen.com/rp-dock.html"

"About Rob Papen (www.robpapen.com)

Self-confessed synth freak and world-renowned sound designer Rob Papen started working with synthesizers at the tender age of 15 when purchasing an analogue Korg MS-20 semi-modular monosynth and accompanying analogue SQ-10 sequencer. Suitably inspired, he subsequently released several CDs as part of Dutch electronic music groups Peru and Nova — the latter featuring the same members as Peru, but with a more commercial slant — with whom he enjoyed number one hit singles in The Netherlands (Nova) in 1982 and Austria (Peru) in 1988. Peru disbanded in 1993, by which time Rob had already established himself as a sought-after sound designer, creating presets for the likes of Waldorf, Access, Ensoniq, and E- mu, before going on to found his namesake company in pursuit of creating a sound designer’s dream synth. That software dream soon became reality when Rob formed the RPCX (Rob Papen ConcreteFX) partnership with music software developer Jon Ayers to develop new Rob Papen virtual instruments and effects plug-ins, starting with BLUE — an exciting-sounding, self-styled ‘Crossfusion Synthesis’ affair (combining FM, Phase Distortion, Wave Shaping, and Subtractive synthesis into one powerful dream synth) — in 2005.Today Rob Papen soundware defines cutting-edge contemporary music production: powerful virtual instruments and plug-ins that intermix innovative design, uncompromising sound quality, and musical, production-grade presets to make tracks truly shine, whatever the musical genre... Inspiration Soundware, indeed!"

Before Access made synths they made controllers. They also made a Waldorf Microwave controller for the original Microwave.

I'm not 100% sure, but I'm guessing this requires the latest OS 2.13 on the Matrix-6 for it to work.  Previous OS versions do not respond to MIDI sysex.  I believe all versions of the Matrix-1000 work as it was released after the Matrix-6.
