Октябрь 21, 2018

Whilst I was recording the Prophet T8 for the documentary I quickly put down some Jupiter 8 as it was the first time I’ve ever seen one. I brought the audio and video back and built more stuff around it and this is the result.

I’m planning to do a bigger Roland thing with a more detailed look at these icons, but in the meantime, this is a first sketch; a quick trip to Jupiter.

Drums chorus: LinnDrum (1982)
Drums final chorus: Fairlight CMI III Samples

Guitars: Ibanez JEM 7DBK, Squier Jagmaster

7:11 Flat Beat Synth Tutorial (Korg MS-20)

Flat Beat Synth Tutorial (Korg MS-20)

Following my Daft Punk synth tutorial, a number of people sent me messages asking for a demonstration of Mr Oizo's "Flat Beat" which was done on a Korg MS-20 and an Akai S1000.

In the video we look at the principals of setting up that sound and why I concluded that he likely created it from a composite of samples, rather than in one pass.

Charles Ferraro's great explanation of the unusual bi-polar nature of EG2 on the Korg MS-20 is here: https://youtu.be/4AMV7YgpEXE

Many thanks for watching and for your ongoing support.
