+oleg - go ahead! it´s so rewarding to make own music and recordings, even if it´s not published - i hopefully soon start my own youtube channel with my own stuff........

Thank you very much, Arthur! Sure, no problem as long as you credit me. ;)

Add a MIDI Thru box to the MK II's MIDI Thru port and you have 4 MIDI Outs. For example: www.midisolutions.com/prodqth.htm

octatrack has 8 midi tracks and that's because it's meant to be more of a centerpiece. Buy more shit ;)

Hi Gianna, the samples are hosted on a different website now: gumroad.com/l/DJkQ

Thank you! Yes, especially in the Froese/Franke/Baumann formation.

Thanks, Kevin! I use a Panasonic GH-2 for my videos.

Arjen Schat That camera has a nice DOF effect on it.

Kevin Hannon That has more to do with the lens, I believe I used a Leica Summilux 25mm/F1.4 or a Panasonic 20mm/F1.7.

Arjen Schat Right, I assumed it was a High end point and shoot which typically don't come with great lenses, not an SLR. :) Leica makes beautiful gear. Those are some great apertures for DOF!

Kevin Hannon It's a system camera, it has similar qualities of a DSLR but it's almost half the size. Price-wise it's in the same range though.

It's sampled from an original Mellotron, it filled up almost the entire memory of the Blofeld, but has a wonderful characteristic sound.

@@arjenschatmusic Ahh...the mellotron - no wonder that sounds so sweet. One, more question, I’ve read that the knobs on the blofeld are glitchy and don’t work at times or skip values. Are you having any issues with that? I did read that the black one has a better build quality but was not sure about that. thx

@@GrootsieTheDog I haven't had any issues with glitchy knobs in particular, only one encoder that moves smoother than the other. I've been using the Blofeld Keyboard since it came out. It is an issue that is inherent to endless encoders though, I think I've been lucky so far, my Prophet '08 is useless because of it.

Yes, this is exactly what I use it for, though I don't really demonstrate that in this particular video. It has a vey interesting feature in its arpeggiator where it can transpose to one of three notes you can assign, and in different octave ranges, at random steps. It can do this per track, including the CV track. The following video is a demonstration of just that: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/jbp5dqibvdO5p5s.html

Thanks! @@arjenschatmusic

Flute sound comes from the Blofeld, it's a Mellotron sample.

Arjen Schat very Tangerine Dream

+Arjen Schat It sounds incredible!

The white keyboard (Waldorf Blofeld) is not controlling the A4, I loaded a Mellotron flute sample into it to play the lead.

Arjen Schat This flute sound is sooo Berlin school like. Thank you. I am considering buying a Blofeld. Is this flute in any of the available Sound Sets? Great Job by the way. Just bought your digital Album. Those sequences are superb.

dankro279 This flute sound is not in any of the sound sets, you can upload it to the Blofeld. I've got the samples from leisureland's website (just Google for "mellotron samples". Also, thank you for your support! Glad you like the sequences.

MIDI usually goes through the old-school DIN cables but there's also MIDI over USB but that is mostly in conjunction with a computer, not synth to synth. In this video I used the even more ancient 'control voltage' to connect the Analog Four with the Slim Phatty.

Arjen Schat Thats what I thought. Ok, thanks. :) I didn't realize they use Control Voltage as a form of signal controller. Thats newer equipment so I find it surprising they would have gone that route, but if it works it works. Is the moogerfooger just an LFO filter?

Kevin Hannon CV allows for easy integration with modular synths so it's not that weird actually. However, it is strange they haven't incorporated MIDI sequencing with the A4. The Moogerfooger serves as an LFO for the Slim Phatty's filter, yes.

Arjen Schat Cool, thanks for answering all my questions!

The CP-251 is controlling the filter cutoff of the Slim Phatty.

Arjen Schat ahh ofcourse, i couldnt quite pick the SP
