So73 - Korg Monotron As Lead Synthesizer

YouTube via soundofseventythree | August 04, 2010

"I figured it was time someone made a little music with the Korg Monotron rather than just noise. This one is called the Monosong featuring the Korg Monotron as a lead synthesizer. It was improvised in one take.

The Monotron was fed into my Mini-KP to add delay & reverb. The backing track was created using my Korg Kaossilator for the first drum loop, the bassline, and the chord progression. The second drum loop was created using the Zoom MRT-3B Micro RhythmTrak filtered through the Monotron's MS-20 filter. The guitar is my Reverend Warhawk HB run direct into my Korg PX5D Pandora.

Video shot with my Digital Harinezumi 2++ in monochrome mode and edited in iMovie 6 HD.

Thanks for watching and listening!"

More mini synths:

So73 "Tremolos" - Akai LPK25 & LPD8; Squier Vintage Modified Jazz Bass; Danelectro Effects

soundofseventythree | April 06, 2010

"Music available for download at: http://soundofseventythree.bandcamp.c...

This one is called Tremolos. It features the Akai LPK25 & the LPD8 which are a couple of new additions to my studio. It also features my original Reverend Warhawk electric guitar run through a Danelectro Surf & Turf compressor and a Danelectro Corned Beef reverb into a Vox Amplug, A Squire 70's Vintage Modified Jazz Bass run into a Vox Amplug Bass with the compressor on, Stylophone, Rotary Vibraphone from Apple's Jam Pack 1, Mellotron strings & 15 Choir from the M-Tron plugin, and GarageBand electric piano set to tine.

Let me just say that LOVE these new Akai laptop controllers! I've used a lot of midi controllers over the years big and small and these are a couple of the best controllers I have used of any size! The Akai LPK25 has a good feel for the size and great velocity response. The Akai LPD8 has the as good feeling pads of any drum controller I have used and again a great velocity response. Of course there are some compromises with the size but overall I love the response, feel and build of these little controllers. They fit perfectly with the way I like to work. I guess you should not expect any less from Akai.

The video as always was done with my Canon IS S3 and edited in iMovie. I hope my digital Harinezumi is here before my next video so I can use it for a bit of a change."

And one last track featuring the Zoom ST-224 & MRT3:

So73 "Echos Remix" - Zoom ST-224 & MRT3; Squier 70's Vintage Modified Jazz Bass; & Reverend Warhawk

soundofseventythree | January 28, 2010

"Music now available for download: http://soundofseventythree.bandcamp.c...

This is my remix of the last song I posted on youtube called Echos. I feel that maybe there is a little Madlib influence in here as well as some St. Germain.

I sampled the lap-steel part on my Zoom SampleTrak ST-224 at standard quality (read dirty and grungy) and started messing around with it, eventually slowing it down and filtering it. I came up with a new drum part on the Zoom MRT3 Micro Rhythm Trak drum machine and sampled that too. Then I recorded both parts into GarageBand.

In GarageBand I added the bass part played on my Squier 70's Vintage Modified Jazz Bass with my amplug bass into my Korg Pandora PX5D Pandora as a recording interface. The guitar was played on my Reverend Warhawk original into the PX5D Pandora. I also added Mellotron flutes from the M-Tron by typing them in on my MacBook's keyboard as I am without a proper keyboard at the moment. I tried to get the live parts to sound like they were sampled from an old scratchy record from the 60s.

The video was done in iMove HD with the footage shot on my Canon S3 IS."

Korg microSTATION - keyboard organ preset 1-49 demo HQ

YouTube via triumphthruxton | August 17, 2010

"keyboard/organ preset 1 to 49, Korg microSTATION is a new workstation from Korg. I just got the first shipment to Europe and I have had the Korg M3 and the Korg M50 Workstation before. This is a light weight 2.5 kg/ 6lbs workstation/synthesizer with amazing sounds and a built in sequencer.

Pros: portabel and easy to use, amazing sounds from the bigger M3 series, sequencer, great software editor

Cons: mini keys, small LCD display

Everything recorder with a Korg SR1 Sound On Sound field recorder.

You can make a 16 channel song with drums, bass lines, leads, pads and so on. Use up to 5 effects and master effects and then save your work to a SD card. With the USB connection it can act as an VST in your DAW like Cubase, Logic, Live. Since I use it in a studio it is very easy to just put it in a bag and use it both at home and in the studio. I initially bought the Korg M50 but 7 kg/15 lbs was bulky since I also play bass guitar and use Cubase on my laptop, impossible to get all that equipment on the metro."

The reunion

YouTube via attorks | August 17, 2010

"Last Friday I got some new Synthesizers.com modules for my 50th birthday which are used in this video: A Q171 quantizer bank, a Q963 trigger bus, a Q128 switch and a Q109 envelope generator. The Q960 sequencers drives 2 voices on row 1 and 3 using the Q171 quantizer bank the quantize the CV's. Row 1 drives the Synthesizers.com Modular. Row 3 drives the Ian Fritz Teezer Through-Zero VCO which is connected to the Buchla 282c clone Resonant LoPass Gate which is modulated by an Ian Fritz All-In EG. The 8 individual steps of the Q960 are switch on and off with the Q963 trigger bus. In the refrain of the track I switch the scale switch of the Q171 from scale to triad to change the pitch of some steps. The strings are performed on the Roland XP-80 with a CS imitation. The solo is performed on the Clavia Nord Lead 1 and some additional notes are played on the Waldorf Q Keyboard."
