In May 2011 FM travelled to Montreal to spend some time in the amazing analogue laden studio of Chromeo. They gave us a full and detailed tour of almost everything they had.

I love that every keyboard he goes to has the same bass patch dialed in

Wow trippy seeing those old drum machines. I owned all of them at one time back in the day and pretty much had given them all away by the time of my Roland S770's. Its cool how todays young musicians are resurecting these old blast from the past electronics, and FM has been doing a great job documenting these small production rooms and the artist that fill them.

I watched this 9 years ago... I promised myself i would build a room like this. 9 years later I have it 😀. Thank you Chromeo for the inspa.

These guys are REALLY into it, and its a real treat to have them go into the gear in-depth, showing that when you work on the details, everything just falls into place. Cool to feel the sentimentality for the synths they used on the way up. Thanks very much...Peace...BR

Love this episode. The dynamic between these two is so funny. The tall guy seems to be more hands off but he does play a couple short riffs when he's off camera. And he clearly knows his stuff.

Many people started with the Korg M500 Micro-Preset 6:40 including myself, you guys and OMD, which is pretty much the bulk of their first album. The white noise at the start of 'Electricity' is it's white noise generator, and Enola Gay uses the 500 in the riff, along with a bit of cheap organ and a pluck sound. I still have mine, and I know it doesn't do cool sounds, but add a few effects and it can do some nice background sounds.

hi what did he mean by transposing the keys and he never played chords because I have a dx21 with the roger patches n some other ones and would like to figure out thx

@Lagspike99 7 жыл бұрын

did you figure this out? He played the same chords just transposed them, some synths have an inbuilt function to do so. I need to know more

@intnrmri 7 жыл бұрын

I'm not too familiar with the DX but I guess transposing on the DX involves some menu diving. By saving the same patch transposed to different memory locations you basically make it an easy process with the patch selector, 1-2 button clicks. This is very useful in a live situation. The benefit of transposing in general is you can play the same chords only on the white keys for songs in different keys and you can also easily do runs and note bending with glide, which can be awkward or even impossible to do in a white key-black key combination.

Drum programming tip: ALWAYS separate ur instruments. If you're using a drum machine, maybe play with it like u would a piece of gear to figure a pattern out, but record each instrument onto a separate channel so u can EQ out clashing frequencies without having to do it on the master.

James Reeno listen to what P says about it.... he said its a too familiar sound, and it is a very big sound, which gets lost into the mix too much, in their style of music they prefer a clean sound, so the moog doesnt fit in well with what they do, shame though, its a beast.
