This is what makes the EP-133 Special!
zhlédnutí 24KPřed 16 hodinami
The EP-133 is super special. It reminds me a lot of my vintage MPCs in that the KO-II's limitations are the spark to creativity. The one thing I love about it the most is the screen. Because it is so lackluster it actually makes it great, haha! Let's make a track from scratch using the EP-133!

Easily Save Boring Basslines with 1 Synth Tip!

Ever found yourself stuck with a boring, single-note bassline? In this video, I'll share a synth tip that will help you transform those dull basslines into unique, rhythmic patterns using LFOs. This technique has been a game-changer for me when I need a fresh burst of melodic inspiration!

In this LFO Deep Dive we'll explore the world of synthesis modulation using the Novation Peak, though this can be done on most synths especially VSTs. We'll take 2 LFOs to modulate one another and then add some key tracking to take things to the next level.

This is how to go from Ableton Live to Octatrack using Parts, Patterns, and Stems. The goal is to show you how I take songs that I've made in Ableton Live and export them properly to be played on the Octatrack for live performances.

Focused on: Making Drums That Matter!

Around halfway, we'll bring in some Piano samples that really help us get a sense of where the song can go! These are drums for a collaboration project I have with @mattwildemusic, an amazing pianist, so I want my drums to hold down the rhythm while not taking too much focus away from the piano....

This was beyond fun and shout out to everyone who I sampled. iIf you see yourself in the vid let me ...

    Saying that you work there is enough for me. I would say, "Speak your mind," as long as you're allowed to speak your mind. There is value in what you say, and it should be implied that there is at least some bias.

    I can't remember what brought me to your channel originally, probably pocket operator vids? That was years ago. I've never even seen 99% of the gear you use in real life and likely never will. I've stayed for your teaching style, jams, and mostly just the positive attitude; it's contagious! All of it! 🎼🎶🖤

    TotalMix is in every way superior than UAD Console. The new Room EQ is awesome (no more Sonarworks). The only con is headphone amp is much quieter than on Apollo interfaces.

    Hey, it would be nice if Elektron didn't also forget about MK1 users. I understand the technical limitations, but a few workflow-improving features would be useful. I'm still looking forward to the possibility of saving kits including samples! 😭 Greetings from afar and a nice video.

    Good on you, Ricky. TBH I’m not sure the world needs another unboxing vid anyway. I’d much rather just see you being you and doing your thing with the new box. I’ve learned a lot from you over the years.

  • @SibertianMusic
    @SibertianMusic Před 3 hodinami

    Unfortunately, when using USB audio, I hear audio from both the DAW and the device itself. The sound is doubled. It is unclear how to leave only the sound that comes from USB (DAW). Without this setting, multitrack recording doesn't make much sense.

    I normally have a pretty strong opinion about the merky waters of synthubers (hard- and software). Here I would want to see you do a overview/deepdive becáuse you work there and know there product already very well. Plus there is no weird connection where they don't pay you, but do send you free stuff so is that not payment etc. You work there, so you do get paid. Just not for the video.

    I would like if you did a thorough review of the digitek 2. I am not much interested in Digitek; I don’t have one. But I have many other samplers. I could be wrong but to me it seems like way too much menu diving; I prefer as close to knob per function as possible.

    It’s very refreshing for a content creator to stop and ponder if they should do something even if it seems like easy traffic for you. With that said, it would not have bothered me one bit had you done a typical review. I’m sure there’d be haters calling bias, but there’s always gonna be haters no matter what. But like you said, there’s plenty of people doing that. I like those videos for the procedural aspect, but your videos are more like field exercises and are equally helpful. I look forward to seeing what you do with it.
