What about the MicroGranny (MG2)?

The Daydream Sound

"Do I use the micoGranny Granular Sampler in my Music? I do but very rarely on it’s own. Here’s the secret to how I use the MG2 in my studio. I hook it up to an FX unit (the Ensoniq ASRX) I chain it up to an analog filter (the Q150 Synthesizers.com Transistor Ladder Filter) and I keep it moving!

The Octatrack is a Midlife Crisis Sampler

The Daydream Sound

"Is the Octatrack Still Relevant in 2020? Or is it just for the old heads? It’s got all the knobs and buttons. The kind things old-school producers like. I think physical detail appeals to middle aged artists. Remember G.I. Joe action figures. They had the most detail ever! So many features packed into one toy. Guess what? That’s exactly what the Octatrack is! In this video we use the sampling engine of the #Elektron #Octatrack to transform outdoor sounds into…. well something. Let’s see what we get!

How To Create A Basic Patch On An Analog Modular Synthesizer

Published on Mar 23, 2017 TheDaydreamSound

With a synthesizers.com modular system.

"How Modular Synthesizers Work

If you’re toying with the idea of experimenting with modular synthesizers but are intimidated by all of those wires, just know that it’s far simpler than it looks. In this video we’ll start with a basic patch to break the ice as and give a straightforward introduction to patching with a modular synthesizer.

The guts of a synthesizer are visible with modular synthesizers which allows you to get under the hood and modify/patch things anyway that you choose. This gives you far more control than you’d have with a traditional modern synthesizer where things are pre-patched by the manufacturer giving you a great deal more options when creating sounds.

Thanks for listening Everyone!

DIY 8 Bit Bass Sound Synthesis with the Bastl Micro Granny 2

Published on Feb 16, 2017 TheDaydreamSound

"DIY 8 Bit Bass Sound Synthesis with the Bastl Micro Granny 2

This one is for the DIYer’s out there. Creating your own custom sounds can be a very rewarding process. In this video we’ll use the 8 bit converters of the Bastl Microgranny 2 sampler to create a Synth Bass sound from a Tibetan Singing Bowl. For those who are looking for an entry video into the world of sound design, this will provide enough to peak your interest as well as open you up to the vast possibilities of using Lo-fi sounds sources as an addition to your design process.

Lastly using an 8bit sampler like the Microgranny is an alternative option for those who want a vintage lo-fi sampler sound but don’t want to buy and older sampler."

Using CV (Control Voltage) with Ensoniq ASR-10 Sampler via Modular Synthesizer

Published on Jan 12, 2017 TheDaydreamSound

"Yep! It’s possible to modulate Ensoniq samplers with Control Voltage signals. For the longest time I saw that Pedal*CV input jack on the back of the Ensoniq Samplers and didn’t really care too much about it. Yeah it would be nice to have one of those CV pedals that was as far as my interest went. Now that CV products are widely available from the rise of Modular Synthesizers that little CV jack means a whole lot to me.

In this video I’m using an LFO (Low Frequency Oscillator) sinewave signal to modulate various destinations of there instruments on the ASR-10. In addition, I’m feeding the audio output of the ASR-10 into the modular synthesizer, combining it with a Pulse wave and modulating the both signals with a -24db ladder filter.

There are a few steps that must be completed before this your Ensoniq sampler will recognize your CV signal. It’s important to note that all Ensoniq samplers have this feature with the exception of the Mirage and the ASR-X/PRO.

Below are the steps to take:

1. Press the “EDIT” followed by the “System*MIDI” button to get into the system menu.
2. Scroll until you see the “PEDAL” page.
3. Here you will have two option one will be VOLUME the other will be MOD.
4. Set the option to “MOD”.

That’s it! This will allow the incoming CV signal to modulate any of the Ensoniq’s modulation destinations the same way you would with any of the internal modulation sources. If your looking for this modulation option source the CV input is called “PEDAL”.

Have fun!"
