Animoog Taurus Bass, compared to Moog Little Phatty and Arturia Minimoog V

YouTube Uploaded by 66pbass on Oct 21, 2011

"Animoog Taurus bass impression, compared with "Taurus" presets from the Moog Little Phatty, and Arturia Minimoog V. $1 vs. $1300 vs. $200.

First thing I worked on with the Moog Animoog iPad app, was programming a passable Taurus-type bass sound(two saws, octave apart, detuned slightly). There is mojo coming from both the Little Phatty and Arturia Minimoog that I couldn't capture, but I feel like this'll do a pretty good job in a pinch.

To program the sound, this is what I found:
1. Build off of a static saw Timbre. "StaticFatSaw1" is good. Putting a "Sine" wave, or "OctaveSaw" in the Timbre slot next to it gives some good variation moving around on the X/Y pad.

2. The key for me to getting the vibe in the right ballpark was forcing the synth into mono operation, and using the "Detune" control to separate the saw into two separate octaves. This can be accomplished in two ways I've found:
-(preferable) "Unison" set to "4", "Detune" set to approximately "8", and ONLY use the Left audio output from the iPad(I used the "tip" side only of a stereo 1/8" TRS to dual mono 1/4" TS cable, coming out of the headphone jack)
- "Unison" set to "2", and "Detune" very slightly under "10". This'll sound alright coming out of the iPad speaker, but is less flexible, and would be difficult to perform with.

3. all Orbit, Path, Delay settings to "0"

4. approx. fiter settings: Drive "10", Env. "0", Freq "5.3", Res. "1" - maxing out the filter "Drive" seemed to be a key to getting the right amount of "spit" in the sound with the filter wide open.

5. approx. Thick settings: Crush "0", Drive "2.5"

6. I zeroed out all Mods, except for one, that makes the poly-pressure open up the filter freq:
- Source off, amount "0"
- Control poly-pressure, amount "+33"
- Destination: filter-freq

7. Setting the KB scale to "Chromatic" with "Mono" and "Legato" makes the on screen keyboard act as I would expect. "Cor" at "10", "Glide" around 45%.

All three Synths recorded straight into Steinberg MR816csx. Levels adjusted slightly, no additional post processing."

iWSeq Korg Wavestation Wave Sequencing CoreMIDI iPad Editor Now Available

iPads on eBay

"Apple has released iWSeq v1.2 our Wired and Wireless CoreMIDI Wave Sequencing iPad Editor for Korg Wavestation / Keyboard / EX / AD / SR.

iWSeq v1.2 offers:
• WSeq can be used as a self contained application or complementing iWavestation our Korg Wavestation Vector Synthesis editor
• Possibly the best workflow would be to use iWSeq to create one (or more) Wave Sequence and then use it in iWavestation as a Wave source (A, B, C or D) to Vector Synthesis for incredible and unique evolving pads...
• All the WAVE SEQUENCING parameters (not the PATCH, GLOBAL, MIDI, FX, PERFORMANCE nor MULTI parameters).
• Up to 20 Wave Sequence Steps editing as recommended by Korg. You need to remember that you can only edit the Wave Sequences in the Wavestation RAM (there is no buffer, so editing is destructive) and not the ROM; and that each RAM bank has 32 Wave Sequences and a RAM bank can hold up to 500 Wave Sequence Steps total (averaging 16 Steps per Wave Sequence).

In order to offer an even faster workflow:
• iControlMIDI automatically enables the Wave Sequence Steps Pages based on the number of Wave Sequence Steps (4, 8, 12, 16 or 20) you chose.
• iControlMIDI automatically disables the Wave Sequence Steps Pages based on the number of Wave Sequence Steps (4, 8, 12, 16 or 20) you chose.

4-Controls per Parameter:
• Slider: full range parameter value adjustment for a ‘coarse’ workflow
• + button: precise +1 parameter value adjustment for a ‘fine’ workflow
• - button: precise -1 parameter value adjustment for a ‘fine’ workflow
• Parameter default value button: pressing the parameter value label / button sets this parameter to a default value for a faster workflow (ex: Wave = Saw; Filter cutoff frequency = wide open; etc...)

Parameter Name and Value:
• Name (ex: Wave): as displayed on the Wavestation LCD
• Value (ex: Saw): as displayed on the Wavestation LCD, dynamically changes when you use one of the 4 controls (slider, + button, - button, parameter default value button)"
