GOOD JOB ALEX BALL. almost there! bravo.

I was absolutely obsessed with this song when it came out, I tried to recreate that sound on just about every synth I bought in the early 2000s, I never realized it was an MS20, but it makes so much sense now that I've seen it done.

This is much more complicated than I expected. Such a simple sounding tune, but in reality it's a composition. Thank you for this!

That intro and Hotdog cigar is so brilliant lol

Goldie Foxx: Love this! The attention to detail in the opening video footage wobble is genius.

always love the resonant high pass bass boost trick.

Following your Daft Punk synth tutorial this is the second one I discovered, and it is as amazing as the first. I see long nights with little sleep coming when I will have to start digging and trying all of those... :-)

Thank you! This is great. I knew the Flat Beat bassline was sampled but didn’t realize how much of a collage it is.

Now I know why my music sounds like trash. It's the lack of sausage.

Finally bought an MS-20 Mini and got to experience this in person :) thank you again for this video! Flat Beat and Oizo’s whole Analog Worms Attack album is one of my absolute favorites!

Appreciate the hotdog cigar :)

I had high expectations on this flat beat. That's perfect ! Well done Mr Ball \o/

I'm a genuine fan of your vintage color grading, Alex.

Dude hell yess I have always wondered how this song was made, I really appreciate you making this!

Great video. Love your explanations and getting straight to the point. Can't wait to try this on my MS-20.

Been wondering exactly this for about a week , 🙏🏻. Nicely broken down bro.

f'ing great! and the feeling you must have got when you told the deli you wanted some hotdogs (for such an obscure reason) must have been priceless! nice work!!

Brilliant video again. Thanks Alex

Great video! This song will always hold a special place in my heart 👊🏼 much nostalgia lol

Awesome mate! Just bought an ms20 mini and flat beat was a deciding factor!

Utterly delightful!

I think the MS 20 is the best synthesizer there's so many things it can do! I have the MS 20 mini and it's so much fun! 😀 thanks very much for the video by the way and it was very informative 👍

Nice work! Learned a few things about my MS-20! Many thanks 😁👍

Hey Man, please keep on uploading. Your music and style is so flipping inspiring! I even went and bought a mini lab mk 2! One day I hope to make sick stuff like you do!

I love that this popped up on my recommend vids!!

This tune speaks to the core of my bones 🤗. thanks for having a good look at it

This, this I love, I absolutely love

Thaaaaaank you for making this!! You made my day!

Great tutorial. It very well shows that you don't have to complicate things. Keep it basic folks.

Love this tune! Thanks for the video!

nice synth tutorial man! love this

Love it. Nice work

Man, you're so productive! Great sound from the MS20, it sounds phenomenal through my headphones. The MS10 could really do with the extra EG. Another way the filter could be rhythmically modulated is with an external signal into the filter frequency input jack.

Great video and explanation 😀

Wow really well done!

With the korg MS20 vst is the easiest way to behave the original one without sampling since lfo can be key synced and parameters automated. Thank you for this quick tutorial.

Top skills another top video.Thanks

Love ya´ channel, it is full of positive energy ;)

Amazing! Thanks for sharing

really good tutorial serie !!

Dude, more of this please!

Awesome videos mate

The sausages and head-banging-video is such a brilliant "easter egg" !!!!!

Love that classic. Nice sounds you get out of that ms20 :D

Cool video. Thanks a lot!

You nailed it! Thank you for sharing, I ll try on my neutron, might sound close

Sooo good! Allmost forgot about this song 😍👌

When Futuremusic was talking to Mr.Oizo about making the flat beat track he talked about how he approached the MS20 as something to sample and said he spent hours getting the LFO timing right. He used an S1000 iirc

that spot on as you can be

Superb!!!

Awesome vid! Thnx!

Love it 👏

I used to do the Flat Beat riff on my Korg 700s, good emulation

Daaaang thank you for the shoutout! 1:30 A way to possibly check if a sound is sampled would be to chop out the phrase in question, flip it's polarity, and align it with a segment containing the same phrase. The idea is that if they cancel, you have a sample. I've had okay results with this while trying to isolate tracks. It's not full proof, and many factors can come into play like master bus compression making the same phrase sound different depending on instrumentation for example. All that said, we can assume you're right that Oizo sampled a phrase and looped it. No need to go through the strenuous effort to check. All in all another excellent tutorial, Alex. Great editing on both the camera work and recreating Flat Beat!

Good job

Greate video! :) The MS-20 is a versatile little sizer. :D

Wish I had even 1% of that skill. Respect.

thank u friend, u nice n very brave, impossible to get exactly the same, so u made the best possible imo

Very good cover

exxelent presentation.. cheers

haha yeah :D So cool Alex!

The envelope behaviour on the MS20 mini is totally different. It’s true that a zero sustain is the same as the set level of the cut off but as you turn the sustain up on the Mini the cut off drops, and by the time you reach full sustain it’s the equivalent of moving the cutoff from 5 down to about 3.5. The envelope behaviour will start at a lower level as you increase the sustain but will return to that start point, not to zero volts. I think. Confusing. Another good video, btw. 😀

Thumbs up for the intro!

Hehe very nice :) Thx for that !

De la balle. Bravo. Je me suis toujours questionné sur ce son sans me prendre la tête mais une réponse est sympa. Merci

You got a thumbs up just because of that intro :P

WOW! That had my fastest like! :) Nad Quentin in the comments! ANd everybody happy! What a wonderful orthodox Christmas! :)) MC and HNY from Russia! Shweeet! :))

Bravo!

Nice!

Nailed it

Dope!

I wish I still had my MS-20!

If you made a video with tutorials for music from ed banger records you would make my day

Nice one

Very good :-)

I love your tutorials. Please do more thing's like this. Maybe next time something from The Prodigy or Boards of Canada ?

This video made me buy an MS-20.

gonna buy da synth

Instant like and sub :D

Would you be down for doing a video for the layman on what the acronyms stand for, and their function? (e.g. LFO, VCO, ADSR, ect.) Really dig the channel, amazing videos!

Now I wanna challenge you... :D You need to do the Gary's lead synth patch of the " regular show - gary's synthesizers battle" That lead is amazing hehe

Hey Alex, just found your channel! Thanks so much for all these videos, you're insight into synths as well as general music production is so awesome. What synth would you recommend as the first synth someone should pick up? Or maybe just a great all round synthesizer to get started? Budget doesn't have to be cheap. Greets from Belgium

.....A raw hot dog? *Subscribed*

Could you not use an external LFO that is clock-synced and use it's voltage to control the filter cutoff?

Thanks

New to your channel and easy sub, good stuff right here! Out of curiosity, is that a mini or vintage? I dont own one but those keys look full sized. And likewise, those sliders look bigger than my SH-01A, is that a 101 you're casually reaching over? Fantastic video btw, can't wait to check out your other content!

All I seem to do these days is watch online video of a man with a sausage in his hand?!

great video. how many years of experience do you have?

You know, I always avoid doing wub wub sounds with synths that can't tempo sync to the DAW.. but watching this, I realize that's stupid. I can just edit the parts together in the DAW! (I also hadn't realized how good the MS-20 is for these sounds... very cool)

Good thing you had a cup of Vienna sausages handy, programming this track might have been tricky otherwise.

Yeaaah! For me, to get a better "Quentin Dupieux" sound, you have to replace your sausage by a STEAK (one of the great Quentin Dupieux's movies)! :p

Almost identical :)

Bruhh you are a genious thats spot on

This song, man- Awesome bass synth, painfully thin drums which sound like they're coming from a tin can.

I have the single cassette, saved my dinner money for it. It's in a paper sleeve, thick paper but just paper. I really disliked those singles, it gave such a cheap feeling. A very nice remake, it's really close. I've not heard this track for >15 years, guess it's time to dig that tape out. Searching UT is too easy

I'd love to hear Rock 'n Roll on the MS20 by Daft Punk

Well hot DOG! Are you WIENing us off your other videos with all these tutorials? Because I have to be FRANK, I'd like to see FURTER episodes on light music as you get the chance. I don't want to be a WEENIE about it, though; this is not the WURST thing you've made. Quite the opposite - you can definitely cut the MUSTARD with electronic instruments. I just hope you can KETCHUP on your other projects some point, too. I RELISH the thought of another music analysis or re-creation of a film score cue. Have to ROLL with the punches, I guess. Come to think of it, something on German electronica or KRAUTrock might make a nice tutorial, too! :-)

Great work! Is the bassline rhythm right though? It feels like it's all played an 8th note late in relation to the drums. Eg- the 2nd note of the bassline should come an 8th note before the snare hit. Not at the same time as it. Geeky enough for you?

CHEEEEKY BREEEEKY

but how do you make that french kick and snare so punchy
