Chameleon (Herbie Hancock) - Nord Drum 3P + Vermona Perfourmer Mk2 Electronic Drumpad Performance

video upload by Jannis Le Wolff

"🎸 In this instrumental series I'm playing some classics of Rock/Pop music history from the 60s and 70s in some alienated electronic version. In this video it's the classic:

CHAMELEON - HERBIE HANCOCK

I pre-programmed the sequences inside Ableton Live, sending them through the individual channels of the Vermona Perfourmer Mk2. I used the KMI SoftStep 2 for moving between scenes and played some grooves live with my Nord Drum 3P.

During Mixing I added some Reverb, EQ and Compression."

🎸 In this instrumental series I'm playing some classics of Rock/Pop music history from the 60s and 70s, using my Vermona Perfourmer Mk2 Synthesizer, Nord Drum 3P and KMI Softstep 2 together with Ableton Live.

All sounds are coming from the Nord Drum except the 2nd Loop, which is coming from the Vermona Perfourmer Mk2. For the melody I added a strong amount of Distortion (Soundtoys Devil Loc) and Reverb (Eventide Blackhole).

For mixing I just used some gentle EQ and Compression (mostly FabFilter) and also some Soundtoys effects."

🎸 In this instrumental series I'm playing some classics of Rock/Pop music history from the 60s and 70s, using my Vermona Perfourmer Mk2 Synthesizer and in this case also my Nord Drum 3P together with Ableton Live. I created a session in Ableton with Clips, but ended up creating a structure that was fixed, so I can play live the whole track on the Nord Drum. I automated some reverb and delay for adding movement, and afterwards mixed the song with some saturation, compression and EQ.

Xtal (Aphex Twin Cover) - Played with the Nord Drum 3P

video upload by Jannis Le Wolff

"👾 In this video I'm playing Xtal by Aphex Twin with Nord Drum 3P sounds only. I've always loved this song, also for its particular sound design, and this is my little take on it.

The whole arrangement is controlled via Ableton Live, using the KMI Softstep 2 and Novation Launchpad Mini as midi controllers."

Novation Launchkey Mini Mk3 ambient trick by using the arpeggiator - feat. Arturia Mini V3

video upload by Jannis Le Wolff

"In this video I share a technique that can provide you with inspiring sequences and melodies. Through using the arpeggiator 2 or 3 times and letting notes overlap you can add surprising twists and movements to your music. As a sound I'm using a simple patch that I've created with the Arturia Mini V3, you can find the settings inside the video."

Pink Moon (Nick Drake Cover) - Vermona Perfourmer Mk2 Ambient Synthesizer Music

"🎸 In this instrumental series I'm playing some classics of Rock/Pop music history from the 60s and 70s in some alienated electronic version. In this video it is:

𝗣𝗶𝗻𝗸 𝗠𝗼𝗼𝗻 𝗯𝘆 𝗡𝗶𝗰𝗸 𝗗𝗿𝗮𝗸𝗲

I was using the Vermona Perfourmer Mk2, fed with some sequences that I created inside Ableton Live.

The Vermona Perfourmer Mk2 is organized into the following parts:

- Oscillator 1 plays the bass
- Oscillator 2 is playing some mellow ambience line that comes in after the first chorus and has a lot of reverb on it
- Oscillator 3 is playing the melody and I added a little extra distortion (Soundtoys Devil Loc)
- Oscillator 4 plays the line of the piano in the original song"

Vermona Perfourmer Mk2 Plays Bach - BWV 847 (Bach on Analog Synthesizer)

video upload by Jannis Le Wolff

"𝄞 in this video I'm going to to send Bach's Prelude and Fugue in C Minor from the Well Tempered Clavier through my Vermona Perfourmer Mk2 Analog Synthesizer. It became some highly meditative moment, since the Perfourmer adds a lot of character and personality to the timeless genius of Bach.

The first oscillator is playing the left hand (mostly) while the other 3 oscillators play most of the right hand parts, and sometimes also the polyphony.

I used the midi files from Bernd Krueger @ "http://www.piano-midi.de" (thanks a lot for the work!)"

Vermona Perfourmer Mk2 Plays Grizzly Bear - Sleeping Ute

video upload by Jannis Le Wolff

"In this video I'm playing a little synthesizer cover of the Grizzly Bear song 'Sleeping Ute' with the Vermona Perfourmer Mk2. They've always been one of my favorite bands, with Daniel Rossen also being one of my all-time favorite musicians.

I programmed a sequence that I was sending into the first 3 oscillators, while the 4th one plays the melody. I really like creating those spooky/ghost type sounds with the Perfourmer, although they're quite a pain to mix because they hardly have any good frequency content."

Blue Monday (New Order Cover) played with the Nord Drum 3P (Electric Drum Pad Covers)

video upload by Jannis Le Wolff

"📘 In this video I'm playing New Orders legendary song 'Blue Monday' with the Nord Drum 3P. All sounds are created with the internal sound engine of the Nord Drum 3P EXCEPT:

- the bass sound was created with the Arturia Mini V
- the choir sound is the actual 'Blue Monday' sound from Arturia's V-Collection/Analog Lab

For looping I was using Ableton Live and the KMI Softstep 2, and after recording I added little tweaks and colors to the sound during mixing."

This Must Be The Place (Naive Melody) - Talking Heads Cover w/ Vermona Perfourmer Mk2

video upload by Jannis Le Wolff

"In this video I'm playing this great song from Talking Heads, which is a band I deeply connect to. The sequences were created in Ableton Live, where I also added some additional processing during mixing and mastering.

It was a little tricky to find a song from them that fits into the Vermona concept, but I'm This Must Be the Place (Naive Melody) turned out to be really fun!"

Don't Stop 'Til You Get Enough (Michael Jackson) - Vermona Perfourmer Mk2 Ambient Synthesizer Music

"🎸 In this instrumental series I'm playing some classics of Rock/Pop music history from the 60s and 70s in some alienated electronic version. In this video it's one of my all time favorite songs:

Don't Stop 'Til You Get Enough by Michael Jackson

I was using the Vermona Perfourmer Mk2, fed with some sequences that I created inside Ableton Live.

The Vermona Perfourmer Mk2 is organized into the following parts:

- Oscillator 1 plays the bass
- Oscillator 2 and 3 are receiving some chord arpeggio and the melody at the same time, which leads to some jumpy and unpredictable interplay between those 2 sequences
- Oscillator 4 plays some spooky line, that is soaked into the Eventide Blackhole Reverb

During Mixing I added some Reverb, EQ and also some panning effect for the harmony/melody part."

Walking on the Moon (The Police Cover) - Played with the Nord Drum 3P

video upload by Jannis Le Wolff

"In this video I'm playing some electronic cover version of the song "Walking on the Moon" by the Police. The original has - in my opinion - one of the most amazing drum beats of all time, played by the one and only Stewart Copeland, and this is my little tribute to it.

All sounds were created entirely with the Nord Drum 3P, including most reverbs. In mixing I just added a little EQ, a little compression/limiting and one short delay and additional reverb. I tried to do as little as possible, so that the video can also serve as a good example of what kinds of sounds you can create with the Nord Drum 3P."

Analog vs Software Synth - Blindfold Comparison (Vermona Perfourmer Mk2 vs Ableton Analog)

video upload by Jannis Le Wolff

"In this video I invite you to take a little game. I'm going to play a couple of sounds for you, and you can guess whether it was played by the Vermona Perfourmer Mk2 or Ableton's Analog synthesizer.

Sometimes it's fun to do those tests, although you should always be aware that you're just listening to sounds out of context. I'm mostly curious on your opinion and your reports on how you experienced the sound of the examples.

In the end, I'll share a few more thoughts on the subjects and the examples."

Also note that all sounds are available as wav files as well, so you can use them even without owning a Nord Drum 3P.

---------

In this video I'm playing Roygbiv from Boards of Canada while only using sounds from the Nord Drum 3P. I used some effects inside my DAW though and also mixed it in the end, applying some EQ and compression.

The whole set is organized in Ableton Live, and I'm also using the Novation Launchkey Mk3 for playing the final synth line and some clip triggering. Intentionally I wanted to play all sounds by "drumming", but the melody had too many variations and notes so it became too complex. As a foot controller I'm using the Keith McMillen Softstep 2. A very fun thing I discovered here was to change the pitch of a pad with a foot controller. This way I could "drum" the bassline, which has 8 different pitches.

I always loved this song and bassline, and I was curious how well it works with the Nord Drum 3P. I really like how the bass sounds in the lower tones, while it gets a little less fat when moving up in terms of the notes you play."
