WHAT ON EARTH is that last song that he's fiddling around with? I need that in my life

Oh really! So after the whole episode you wanted to marry me, right? ;)

Future Feelings hells yeah :) !

There are hundreds of SP1200 videos around. ;)

Watch here: Use a Mackie Mixer as a synthesizer kzfaq.info/get/bejne/m517hZCQz9zGpps.html

Artists in the noise and experimental and electroacoustic scenes have been doing that for decades. Nothing really innovating here.

That idea (in fact this whole video) makes want to get my RS out of storage on my next day off. I just wish he was more detailed about what he means. I'm pretty sure he means don't have the RS's BPM slaved to the rest of the rig, let it run free then mess with the 'sequence play effects' until it sounds nice. That does though, kinda contradict the idea he mentions earlier, of hand crafting everything with full intention. I also have to say that i like his idea that it's all "about the process, not the sound", if I had kept that in mind i might not have packed my rig away all those months ago.

@@knowingwhatthebuttondoes3432 What i tried to explain was to program 5 bars on 150 bpm in a way that i sounds like 4 bars on 120 bpm.

It´s the Panasonic Ramsa Wr-Da7. An analogue sounding digital mixer with amazing converters. ;)

@@ItaloBrutalo very kind of you to reply - thank you!

Italo Brutalo answers the single most asked question from this Tech Talk. How to transform a Mackie Mixer into a synthesizer? You wanted it, EB.TV delivers - kzfaq.info/get/bejne/nrKoZtd3s7u5iXU.html

Sarah Belle Reid also has a good video on this kzfaq.info/get/bejne/pbuYmc6Su7u0iWw.html

I always try to be a "pioneer". :D

If only they've been going for crazy prices on ebay lately at least here in the states

himmelhero wow you are right I guess the hardware sequencer s are popular again.

And looks like middle italian 70-80 years

Haha! You´re right. But i am not 100% german to be honest. There are indeed some slavic roots. ;)

It's a Crumar Bit-01 in a rare white rackversion.

Telekom Electronic Beats Yeah!! Thank you VERY much 😉 !!

yep, it sure is. Used to have it in black, bought from one of the founders of Kompakt maybe 15 years ago. Has a very raw sound, but it takes ages to program. It's like "type in number of parameter, then use + or - buttons to dial in the value, choose next parameter, .... One of the few synths I ever regret selling back then, cause I'm pretty sure I'd be less annoyed by the interface nowadays. Shouldn't be so rare for that guy though, since it's an old school Italian synth :)

Nothing left to say.. ;)

Italo beutalo - Spy in the sky

Use a Mackie Mixer as a synthesizer kzfaq.info/get/bejne/m517hZCQz9zGpps.html

feedback loops, channel direct out to channel in.

never heard of no - input music? :) kzfaq.info/get/bejne/ftxhibR9meC4e5c.html

Self-fed feedback loops. These mixers feature both INS and OUTS per channel, so that not just connect sources on it but also you can drive a specific channel to an outboard (FX) and run it back to a different channel for final EQing. If you connect directly the OUT of one channel back to its IN, and start tweeking knobs, you'll hear sound (an annoying sine wave) and the more you tweak, the more this sound will start growing (by building up frequencies). This sound is actually the 50 or 60Hz constant frequency of home electricity, known as "white-sound", similar to tape hiss, althouh this sound can be hugely magnified, if fed to a loop, like in this case with a mixer. To understand how powerful this gheto-synth is, people have actualy blown up whole soundsystems by accidentaly connecting a channel to itself (and with EQ/gain forgotten on high values). The only drawback is that you get only 1 note (non-chromatic sound), so you need to sample it somewhere but from there you play it chromaticaly (with notes like in a piano).

Will make a video soon to show exactly my way of working with that technique. Like i mentioned in the Tech Talk it´s polyphonic how i do it. So i have more than 1 voice, i can tune it and i can simulate LFO modulation. It´s also possible to make small 2 - 3 notes arpeggios.

Italo Brutalo Do this video, I've only succeeded doing it like I described in my other comment. I'm really interrested to see how this can be elaborated more! 👍

It´s really helpful sometimes, yes. ;)

@@Italo_Brutalo It looks cash money too, which is the important thing dude

As an Italian, I find this guy mildly offensive.

spy in the sky - italo brutalo

@@sylwa9230 THANK YOU MAN.

Funktioniert ja auch mit anderen Mixern und nen richtig abgerockten Mackie findet man schon ab und an für‘n Fuffi.

I think he is German

Bavarian 😉

:D

Too many issues with Brian. That´s why i started Italo Brutalo. ;)

timing is everything ;-)

Helps a lot ;-)

It´s for the brilliant sound.

there are no rules to music, idiot.

Seriously... I remember the days when I was using HW only because HW was the only thing there was. (I bought my first synth in 94) It took me ages to make music, and most of it still sounded like total crap. Hell, some of my gear (like that Crumar Bit 01 for example) was a total bitch to program. I've slowly seen SW synths evolve from sounding like total crap to utterly fantastic. Even today, I often make guests in my studio close their eyes to compare some sounds from vintage analog HW synths I have here to some of my plugins. They can't tell the difference. Just because you use SW or stay ITB doesn't make you a lazy producer. What makes you a lazy producer is when you start using loops all the time, and don't even bother to change them just a tiny bit. It's when you don't even bother to learn your sound design so all you can do is use presets instead of programming your own sounds. Electronic music is made with electronic instruments, and technology has moved forward. It makes things easier, sure, but it also opens up a HUGE world of possibilities sound wise which you simply didn't have back then. All of that stuff, HW or SW, it's just an instrument, a TOOL, it's YOU who decides what you do with it in the end...

AHHHAHAH.....VERO!!!!

Forse perché predilige un suono retrò tipo la italo disco? Quindi ha dato alla sua immagine uno stile retrò italiano come la coppola e la canottiera bianca.. io ho fatto questo ragionamento.

he said it cost 50 euros

Ah ok. Sorry for this misunderstood statement!

yeah outputs of the mixer going back into inputs of the channels
