Unsynced Budget Electronic Music Gear Jam! (Sunday Sessions #162)
Unsynced Budget Electronic Music Gear Jam! (Sunday Sessions #162)
Welcome to Sunday Sessions, where the script is tossed out and we get right into the jamming! Today I decided to bust out the Volca Drum and the PO-128 Megaman, but I wound up jamming with them unsynced! Sometimes I actually prefer to leave my gear unsynced, just so I can have some natural tension between the sequencers, and I feel like this jam demonstrates that pretty well! Enjoy the video :)

How This MIDI Pedal Saved my Live Rig! (Morningstar MC6 Pro) Today I'm going to show you just how the Morningstar MC6 Pro saved my live rig, and allowed me to execute a live show that I'm proud of! This MIDI controller is an absolutely beast, with so many different IO options, a ridiculous amount of commands that it can send, and incredibly in-depth but easy to use editing software, I can't bel...

Budget Synth Fun! (Sunday Sessions #160) Welcome to Sunday Sessions, where the script is tossed out and we get right into the jamming! Today I decided to bust out one of my favorite budget synth combos, the Volca Keys and NTS-1!

SmplTrek as a Three Track Recorder! Today I want to show how you can use the SmplTrek as a three track recorder! While you do need to use a "normal" track to set up your song structure, it is entirely possible to use the three audio tracks to record a full song. With the right use of input effects, you can stretch those three tracks even further! I also forgot to mention it in the video, but yo...

    The "flux" n "step divider" make this sequencer unique. In fact there are 4 bars. The only Volca with that ability. There was a time when Korg was selling those for 110$. Now it can be kind of expensive and selling fast on used market. Just bought it (again) for 90$, hope its in good condition. This time I won't sell it... like never. Modern classic. Its so easy to make it sound like a Blade Runner OST.

      You're a few live rig videos behind :D lol. Basically while the Sheeran Looper X hardware is incredibly, software wise it's sorely lacking. It's missing some pretty basic workflow options, as well as being really inconsistent with glitching when overdubbing. The Boss also has 6 tracks (Sheeran X has 4) and has an insane level of customization!

    I see that. I tried and didn’t work ;) but I have another question for you if you don’t mind.: I struggle to recognize which sound is which after all the slots are occupied on the edit mode for the drums .. I tried slowing the bpm but it does not work for me… All this on the context of making a variation of a pattern after being copied to a new slot to do so.

      @@FreeBeat let’s say you have a pattern and sounds awesome. Then you copy the pattern to another slot because you want to make a variation of it . When I got to edit mode all I see is all led lights are lit… and when I start deactivating and activating back I loose track of which slot I used for certain sound. I would say, how do you remember that this particular slot is this sound, and this slot is another one;))🫣
