With the Korg MicroKorg Synthesizer Vocoder
That’s right. Got a Korg MicroKorg for a steal (I hope it aint hot) off of craigslist. Picked it up from a guy at the Tenleytown metro stop in a garbage bag, no manual, and no AC adapter. Seems a bit shady, but the thing works like a charm. I got a lot of learning to do but this thing is an arpeggiating monster. Listen to this shit!
This second one has more “verve”.
Gladys stomped on my gut at 7am and I couldn’t go back to sleep so I made this! It’s all Volca. I KNOW I KNOW I KNOW its the same bass line as the desk piece but its slower and there are 2 additional oscillator sequences on top. So DIFFERENT (extended middle finger).
Got a new desk today. Bought it at Target. It was called a “writing desk”. The guy at the check out counter said, “New writing desk eh? Doing some writing?”
I said, “Nope! Proppin’ up some synthesizers.”
He said, “Oh! Musician?”
I said, “Where?!”
Got it all set up, wired everything into the little black 4 channel rolls powered mixer (in the upper right) and marveled at how much living room space I have reclaimed because of the new desk.
I connected the sync cables for the 3 volca’s. I have not synced them to the electribe YET. Just for giggles to test them out, I hit play on the pattern on the Beats, then play on the pattern on the Bass and was amazed at how the 2, completely independently created Beats and Bass sequences, magically worked together, now that they were sync’d for the first time. I did a corny key’s diddle on top just for fun’zys. Check it out! It’s called Ode To A New Desk.
Like they used to say on the Tonight Show with Johnny Carson, More to Come!!!!
Listen to the samples of the 3 Korg Volca’s below this post then vote!
Loading ...Shake your ass off! Entirely! Till the tape melts at the end!!!
Might as well get it all out of my system…
Using the Orion Sound Module v1.1 for Win 10×64 VST on the Frost Piano setting soaking wet in haunting reverb. The rests were intentional in places, and in other places to change the setting. Neat sound. Better in headphones. Fun to play. Lonely, big, wet, grey, rainy.
This was all done on the Korg Electribe Sampler. (I haven’t given it a name yet. It’s labeled as Funk Ola1″ on the Electribe).
The track I made was influenced by the bass line in the following song by Kamasi Washington.
This has been sitting on the Electribe for months. I figured I’d let the Adobe Audition run and just groove around with it and just let my holiday and seasonal depression disorder flow through the trigger pads. This, of course, created the magic or madness I’ve named the “Wooda Womp El Grande”.
This is an image that I think best describes the song (if it had a video, this animation would be it). This would also describe how I feel after being sick with the flu for 2 weeks and the holidays coming up:
Extend your finger and GIT DOWN!!!!
I used the Korg Electribe on this one. Sure to be a hit with a bullet! Right up da charts with The Stinky Finger!
(Move over Taylor Spears or whatever her name is).
The animated gif of Donald Trump (below) is intended to go to the beat of the song. Stare into his cold, dead, good, talented, sensational, strong, rich, and successful eyes, as you shake your stinky finger.
