Alba Ecstasy - Manikin

Published on Jan 31, 2014 Alba Ecstasy·98 videos

"This is the first attempt of using Manikin Schrittmacher. I created one sequence and I recorded it by overdubbing for three times: two MoPho tracks and one Volca Bass track. Additionally I used Monotribe for the drums track and 2 pads track from Virus Ti2. All sounds are created by AE.

Metunar - Visual Music No.1

Published on Oct 9, 2012 by Metunar

"Music:
Stereotrack recording of an Eurorack Modular (Doepfer, Intellijel, Divison6, MOTM, Cwejman, MFB, WMD, Malekko) + effects (Eventide, Roland SBF-325 Flanger). Sequenced by a Manikin Schrittmacher + Doepfer MCV24.
Visual:
I used an old Leader oscilloscope in XY-mode.
There were 3 oscillators (Cwejman RM-2S, Malekko Wiard Oscillator, MOTM 350) of the modularsystem which generated the graphics."

EL-KA live mit Lasershow im Gasometer Oberhausen HD

YouTube Uploaded by IIOOraymanOOII on Aug 2, 2011
Synth spotting after the two minute mark. Via Hajo: "This is a HD Video from our last year EM live event in the GASOMETER Oberhausen Germany."

"EL-KA live im Gasometer Oberhausen
im Rahmen der Ausstellung "Sternstunden" .
Mit live gespielter Lasershow.
Der Abend im Gasometer Stand unter dem Motto "Per Anhalter durch die Galaxis"
Die Synthesizer Formation EL-KA (HaJo Liese und Till Kopper) featuring Hermann Lipinski (lila),welche die Musikrichtung der alten Berliner Schule "Klaus Schulze,
Edgar Froese, Tangerine Dream" favorisiert, gab ein Konzert
in einer wirklich spektakulären Umgebung."

Googlish:
"EL-KA in live Gasometer Oberhausen
within the exhibition "Out".
With live laser show.
The evening at the Gasometer booth under the motto "The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy"
The formation synthesizer EL-KA (HaJo Liese and Till Kopper) featuring Hermann Lipinski (purple), which the music of the old Berlin school "Klaus Schulze
Edgar Froese, Tangerine Dream favors, "gave a concert
in a truly spectacular setting."

Update via Qwave in the comments: "Here a hopefully slightly better translation (I am a native german speaker, sorry for my english):
"EL-KA live at the Gasometer [huge gas storage tank, 100 m high] in Oberhausen [Germany] as part of exhibition "Highlights" [actual translation does not fit, due to some word pun used].
With live performed laser show.
"The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy" was the title of the evening in the Gasometer.
The synth duo EL-KA (Hajo Liese and Till Kopper [that's me]) featuring Hermann Lipinski (of Lila) was playing a concert in a real spectacular setting. They prefer the style of the Berlin School "Klaus Schulze, Edgar Froese, Tangerine Dream."

The text on YoTube was written by the video uploader.

I used a 1979 Minimoog, Waldorf XTk (30 voice version), Manikin Electronics Memotron, Korg k25 keyboard to transpose Hajo's Schrittmacher, iPhone to play the Apollo 11 samples, Behringer mixer.

HaJo Liese used:
Manikin Electronics Schrittmacher (step sequencer), Vermona Perfourmer
Vermona DRM1, EMU Vintage module, Kawai K1 rack, Roland as master keyboard, submixer.

Hermann Lipinski used:
Nord Modular, PC-laptop with different soft synths and a sampler app, E-guitar, sub mixer.

We played to the laser show done by friends. We did three shows of about 45 mins that day. We had some sequences prepared. And some ideas in our head. But as usually, it was mainly improvised live music."

Youth (cover) (original by Anthony Rother)

YouTube via grauoliv
"Just fooling around with the track Youth by Electro-Artist Anthony Rother from his Super Space Model album. Drums are from the Novation Drumstation, bass from Doepfer A-100, lfo sound from the virus and lead from Moog LP. Sequencing with Manikin Schrittmacher and MAM SQ 16. The TV was on (behind the camera), that's the kind of flashlights you see.

Of course, this can't compare to the original. So you don't need to tell me that AR has done it way better! ;-)"

"(limited to 20 worldwide!!!)

This was purchased direct from Germany in late 2008...

The SCHRITTMACHER has 32 parameter lines which can be freely configured and linked with each other. Each line has 16 steps which can be edited using the 16 rotary encoders with integrated pushbuttons. Additional 28 pushbuttons allow the user easy processing of the sequences. The 240x128 pixel backlit display ensures that the user always has an overview over the current status of the sequences. By direct access to a number of parameters ideas can quickly and intuitively be translated into action at the studio as well as on stage.

The possible connection of a master keyboard for controlling purposes (transposing, use of controllers) allows additional processing of the sequences and grooves.

Youtubetech - original track, kind of techno, house

YouTube via grauoliv

"Okay, nothing very special. This is the third and final take. First the audio was bad, then the video. This time I got it! Live techno jam with pre-programmed sequencing with Manikin Schrittmacher, MAM SQ-16 and Yamaha RY-30. Bass from Moog LP and DSI Mopho, Strings from Virus and Micro Q, Percussion from Drumstation, RY-30 and Akai MPC 500. Last jam in my 2008 studio setup. Now it's getting rebuild for more efficency. The track is inspired by ripe909 who really does a great job with his tracks & videos here on youtube."

Schrittmacher controls iDrum

YouTube via shagghie.
"A quick insight into using a hardware sequencer to run a plugin like iDrum, etc. I get a lot of questions on how I use the Schrittmacher, so thought I'd share this tid bit. I normally run DRM1mkII on S1, iDrum on S2, JazBase03 on S3, and leave S4 open to do sample triggering or basslines, etc."

EL-KA = HaJo Liese + Till Kopper

Title link takes you there. You'll find more gear shots and music. Via Till "Qwave" Kopper in the comments of this post.

"HaJo Liese of EL-KA also uses the Manikin Schrittmacher and the Vermona Drums. He also drives his Vermona Perfourmer from the Schrittmacher. We (he and I ) just had a gig in Eindhoven/NL) using this combination. Here is a picture from it (HaJo at the right, me on the left): link to picture.

"beta testing proof of concept...not a performance, just sequence, filter, and knob twiddling. Sounds incredible in real life... need to find a better camera mic."
