Tired of This Yet? This is The Black Keys Thing 1

bk1

This is a song played on all black keys. I wanted to work a little harder on creating with the MicroKorg and Kaossilator alone.

There are still some minor time issues, but HOLY CRAP THE SOUNDS ON THE mICROkORG ARE AWESOME. So many presets and this is with little to no variation of these stock presets.  The quality and variety of the sounds are amazing.  I went through as many as I could.

Geek Notes:

  • Kaossilator holds the time (at 100  bpm) and handles the loops and some studio sounding drums.
  • MicroKorg plays the initial stomp beat, all the solo sounds, screw ups, arpeggios, and vocoder crap.  ALL ON THE BLACK KEYS of course.
  • MiniKP (red box) added some much needed reverb and absurd delay to anything the MicroKorg put out including loop source material.

Note:  This is terribly long (12 minutes and 23 seconds)…  bump it around if you get bored.  I think the last 2 or 3 minutes sound the best (thanks to a bent, reverb’d, and delayed string chord I liked and it notably ends in this).  There’s a really loud over-modulated bass bit in the middle thats hilarious and may destroy your speakers.

Once again, no sense of time or self control.  This is just too much fun to make!  I couldn’t stop myself. 🙂
