The Pun - Acces Virus Indigo - MS-20 mini - DSI Mopho - Novation KS4 - Korg X5dr

Published on Jun 6, 2019 Arrayzable

"Chaotic video of my live performance on my Electribe EMX-1. Synth part 1 and 2 are controlling the Novation KS4 which plays the nylon-stringed-guitar part. Synth part 3 is controlling the DSI Mopho which delivers the acid bass line. Synth part 4 controls the Volca Bass one note bass line. Synth part 5 controls the bell sound on the X5dr.
Access Virus Indigo is for chords, and the MS-20 mini is for lead.

After listening to Baer Marcels trance tracks for years and enjoying his sound quality, I wanted to give this kinda style a try. It's been fun, and I will be going down that road a bit further.

As always live play with synths and sequencers.

Used in this track:

Korg MS-20 mini
Access Virus Indigo 1
Novation KS4 (K-Station)
Korg Electribe EMX-1
Korg Monologue
Korg microKORG XL
DSI Mopho
Volca Bass
Korg X5DR"
