A look at how the Korg MS-20 and SQ-10 sequencer were an intergral part of the sound of a group of German musicians in the late 70s and early 80s.
0:00 Intro
1:09 Der Mussolini - DAF
5:02 Los Niños Del Parque - Liaisons Dangereuses
8:10 Minimal Tape 3/7.2 - Pyrolator
10:48 Sample Pack
11:38 Outro Jam / Patrons
Huge thanks to Brad Holland and my patrons and patreon.
The sample pack is available here: / alexballmusic
Synth settings (these are my estimations, rather than certain):
Der Mussolini
VCO 1: Pulse wave with PW set to around 10 o'clock
VCO 2: Off
HPF: Not used
LPF: Cutoff at 0 and peak at 2 / EG2 modulation set to 10
EG 2: Hold 0 / Attack 0 / Decay 3 / Sustain 0 / Release 3
Then guitar amping / stereo reverb
Los Niños Del Parque
VCO 1: Pulse wave with PW set to around 1 o'clock
VCO 2: Off
HPF: Not used
LPF: Cutoff at 0 and peak at 2 / EG2 modulation set to 7.5 / T.EXT mod set to 8.5
EG 2: Hold 0 / Attack 0 / Decay 1 / Sustain 4 / RElease 3.5
Channel C Sequencer lane to T.EXT and VCA Initial Gain
Then guitar amping / stereo reverb
Minimal Tape 3/7.2
VCO 1: Pulse wave with PW set to around 10 o'clock
VCO 2: Square wave up an octave
VCO 1 level 4 and VCO 2 level 3 (to allow envelope and filter clicks to be heard)
HPF: Not used
LPF: Cutoff at 0 and peak at 4 / EG modulation set to 8.5 / T.EXT mod set to 7.5
EG 2: Hold 0 / Attack 0 / Decay 2 / Sustain 0.5 / Release 2
Channel C Sequencer lane to T.EXT
Then a tape echo with minimal feedback at around 30 - 40ms with dry and echo panned left and right respectively

As ever, there can be conflicting information out there. Having read that D.A.F used the SQ-10 and MS-20 I found an interview of them discussing how to make "a Korg" sound like D.A.F by using guitar amps and mics like Conny Plank did. This was a strong suggestion that they used their MS-20. I've now had people who claim to have spoken to the band who say it was actually an ARP Odyssey and 1601 sequencer. I'm not going to staunchly defend this, because it's totally possible that I'm completely wrong, so I'll pin this comment until we get to the bottom of it. Either way, the principle is the same on the MS-20 / SQ-10 as it is the ARP pair. Next someone will tell me the other two tracks were recorded using a Minimoog and a Stylophone. 😉 {Update} Evidence is pointing to ARP Odyssey and sequencer, particularly German language interviews that I don't understand. Thanks for those who helped with info. We all learn something, so that's appreciated.

Christian Haas (former DAF, liasons dangereuses, Crislo) was the one with the MS20 IIRC. Later DAF used the Arp sequencer (begin with all faders down, then slide up every second until it sounds right - microtuning included). I still hope for a cheaper remake of the Arp sequencer with its sequencer logic. Anyway - such a great video. Thank you Alex! 🤩🤩🤩

I'm pretty confident I read an interview where Robert Görl said the SQ-10 was his favourite seq and used a Prophet 5 - but I've always thought the MS-20 was the one they used. So yes might be some conflicting info. Nevertheless I'm happy you saw my comment in previous video about Liaision Dangereuses. Somewhat hope I helped inspire you to this topic : )

What an excellent music selection and deep dive! A true gift of a video.Side anecdote: My wife bought a baby crib on classifieds. When I showed up at the flat in Berlin to pick it up I did a double take -I knew that face of the guy standing in the doorway from somewhere! When I got invited in I spotted an MS20 in the corner (I think it was the Korg controller version) it clicked: we got Pyrolator's baby crib. Though our kid refused to stay in it for longer than five minutes, so we sold it quickly.

Thanks for the video. I learned a lot from Chrislo. He came into the studio and said that he wanted to play his synthesizers through guitar and bass amps, " musst Du bodymässig abchecken" (you have to check the sound with your body), even the bass drums from the MS20 were played through amps, and loud. His equipment when he lived with Beate was 4 MS20s, 1 MS50 and 2 SQ10s. By the way, what you did well with my track from "Inland" with a short echo was nothing more than a transfer from one side of the 1/4 inch tape to the other and the echo was the distance between the erase head and the recording head, at that time I didn't have an echo device, everything was done with a tape machine.

Thank you for pointing out the detuning issue of the sequencer. I just listened to Der Mussolini and now I finally understand why the tuning is _so_ wobbly on that track! 🤓 Also, it’s quite amazing that they basically made the whole album (and also Gold und Liebe) with basically this one synth and a drum kit. Fun fact: if I remember correctly, Robert Görl is a classically trained jazz drummer. 😅

I’ve heard of people layering in different amps (or amp emulations) and different room sounds (or reverb plugins) more recently, but to be doing it back then was very cool. Not least because layering analogue gear on tape to bounce down to one track was a sync nightmare! So that took dedication as well as inspiration. Definitely worth it though.

The things that make these old sequencers hooked up with old synths tedious to work with is also what makes them special. The imperfect nature of it, things drifting out of time and tune, is really what makes them have an interesting flavour. Well demonstrated, as always!

Wow! Finally the transpose secret is revealed. Honestly, I couldn't have thought of that.myself. I have known the first two songs since they were released but I didn't know they were made with Korg instruments I have owned since 1988. I will tellyou my secret as a token of my gratitude. The SQ-10 with its three lanes makes a fine analogue memory bank. I used it on my debut gig in 1990 to switch patches, controlling filters and gain.

@David_K_Booth 6 ай бұрын

@@AlexBallMusic I think there would be a problem with attempting to transpose the sequence in that way, which is that the MS20 CV is exponential, not volts per octave. To transpose the sequence up an octave, you would have to multiply all the voltages by two, rather than just add a one volt offset. (Context: I used to use Korg's MS-02 linear / exponential converter to interface the CV from a TB-303 to my MS-20.) This might add weight to the suggestion in the pinned comment, that it was actually ARP kit: if ARP were using the V/Oct standard at that time, it would make things a lot easier.

@AlexBallMusic 6 ай бұрын

@@David_K_Booth Yep, had to crank in some MS-02 voltage with the summing mixer and press a different key than I was expecting and managed to get it to work, but it would be out if I tried any other keys. No doubt the exponential Hz/V thing. Does suggest the more simple answer is just an Odyssey / 1601 that can do that easily, as you say. Ah well, you can't win 'em all.

@David_K_Booth 6 ай бұрын

@@AlexBallMusic I'm sure that if they were using the Korg system, Conny Planck would be the guy who could make it work. Later edit: it's a rabbit hole. Listening to a couple of performances on KZfaq, I found one where the sequence stays roughly in tune as they transpose it, and another one where it goes terribly wrong. My guess would be that in Cony Planck's studio they had ARP kit, or something similar, but they used Korg kit when they played live, and either they didn't understand or they didn't care how it went out of key. At a tangent - you mentioned that sequencers then were continuous controllers, and there was no quantisation, so you had to tune very carefully by ear. I'm sure I've read how Tangerine Dream, round about then, got the sequencers on their Moog series 3 kit quantised: they commissioned someone to replace each potentiometer with a chain of very accurately matched resistors and a 12 way rotary switch.

I had the exact same experience when I spent a day trying out modular in the local synth shop. I thought I’d be trying out cool patches, but I spent half my time trying to get the sequencer to behave! That said I was exposed to enough alternate tuning systems young enough that I don’t mind if a note intentionally(-ish) doesn’t fit-in to 12TET, but the frustration came from that disconnect between how I imagined it and how it was coming out. Sounding right on one loop but then sounding different by the time I got the patch right. Etc Perhaps I just need to embrace the tuning chaos next time. Tell myself it’s microtonal, rather than a slipping just-intonation.

This is so cool! I missed out a bit on this scene so wasn't all that familiar with the artists, but the whole thing was mesmerising. And talking of mesmerising... your comments about the sound of that tape echo with no feedback on it reminded me of something I did in my teens with my ZX Spectrum. I used a BASIC program with a load of BEEP commands to play Bach's Toccata in D Minor (Sky version). When I took it round to a friend's house, he loaded it on his Speccy as well, and we connected them up to L and R on a ghetto blaster... and hit RETURN to start the programs, but a split second apart. The resulting recording was actually quite similar to this tape echo effect, and I loved it. Sadly, I think I lost it. I'd love to hear it again.

Regardless of the synth/sequencer combination, I was really excited about how you explained 'tuning' sequencers and how that led to the sound of Der Mussolini. I had always wondered about the 'wonky' sequencer part, but always assumed it had something to do with anomalies in tape speed between recording, mixing, and mastering. Now I know. And, kudos to actually reproducing the wonkiness to a T. It was probably hard enough to get close, much less as close as you got. Keep up the amazing work, Alex. Love the videos!
