This beat started on the PO-133. I had ordered the original OP-1 from B&H and they sent me the PO-133 for free as a promotional offer. I’ve always had the intent to pick it up and learn it, but it had just enough of a learning curve that prolonged my time learning it. Recently I decided to keep it close by and with downtime figure it out. I’m still in the infancy period but it’s starting to make sense. And it definitely opens me up creatively to new ideas I wouldn’t have discovered otherwise. The beginning of this song is the basic loop and kickstarted this track idea.
Everything is being sequenced by the SQ64. Pads is the Minifreak. Bass is Volca Bass. Drums are the Volca Sample2, and the minilogue has the lead. Reverb is Strymon V2 which is on a aux channel in the mixer, and all instruments are getting varied degrees of it. All audio is run through the mixer and directly in the camera. #korg #korgminilogue #synthesizer #strymon #volca #ambient #korgvolca #korgvolcabass #volcabass #volcasample #minilogue #korgsq64

Really enjoyed this! I recently picked up the SQ-64 so I have a lot to learn. Nice to see you really using it.

The SQ64 is pretty easy to use once you understand it. It took me a few sessions to get everything routed correctly and get the basic functions down. If you have any questions let me know! I’m no expert but have a pretty basic understanding!

Thanks for the offer! Im currently experimenting with what I can do and what works best for me with the routing to different hardware. I feel like Im grasping the SQ64 but every once in a while it reminds me that there is more to learn 😂 @@floydyork

Nice jam, I am quite tempted to buy myself a minifreak when I can afford it.

It’s a pretty amazing synth. I’ve only scratched the surface, but between it and the minilogue, I don’t think I need another synth for a very long time. It literally can do almost anything, and then sequencer is so strong and fun

Great mix, I love your channel. I've got a very similar set up to you, with an SQ-64 in the middle. But I haven't got the hang of recording audio as cleanly as you have. I'd really appreciate some tips! I'd be really interested to know if you were powering your units in a particular way, and what mixer that is (Allen and Heath Zed-something maybe? I'm using a bastl dude mixer,, recording into audacity with an audio interface, and trying to deal with the noise in post - but I'm not happy with the result. I think my problem either lies in the way I'm powering my gear, or in the mixer, or in my poor noise reduction technique. I'd love to know how you record the sound so cleanly?!?

Really appreciate the love! I’m using the Yamaha MG12 mixer, and then I run the USB directly from the mixer into the camera. The volcas and pedals can sometimes get noisy, and then I have to troubleshoot occasionally. I’m not to familiar with the Dude, but it’s possible that it could be your mixer. Mine has a switch where I can lessen the intensity of a direct line in instrument. Example, few days ago my minilogue was peaking very easily, and clipping. I noticed that the reduction switch was not pressed. Once I engaged it, the minilogue stopped clipping. For the volcas im using the power adapted that splits into 4 or 5 connections, and it works well without too much noise. All other synths have their own power supply. I would suggest disconnecting all the synths, and then slowly add one by one. See when the noise starts to occur. Is the noise present before you use the audio interface? I remember watching a few reviews of the Dude mixer, is yours the one with the distortion option? If I had to guess I’d say it’s the mixer first.

@@floydyork Thanks for the tips! The Dude is pretty rough and ready, I think it is definitely part of the issue. At this moment I'm less worried about clipping and more concerned with background noise. I did buy separate power supplies for the volcas in an attempt to reduce background noise, and I'll toubleshoot as you suggest. I suspect that I have a noisy pedal as well, but at the moment I'm really eyeing up a more substantial mixer. Looking forward to your next video!
