TK. Posted June 20, 2009 Report Posted June 20, 2009 Link to videoMIDIbox SEQ V4 has reached beta state, let's celebrate this with a new demo!0:00: The electronic harp is played by Sculpture (part of Logic Audio) - a Physical Modelling Synth which I really like!0:00: MBSEQV4 plays the 16-step sequence with a new "step progression" feature: on each 4 step interval, the step is triggered twice. In addition, a customized groove template is applied on the velocity to accent the notes based on the master measure. This results into a more complex sequence which varies on each beat, but still sounds nice and not too random!0:01: to understand the "step progression" feature watch the GP LEDs - they are stopping each 4th step0:11: an Echo Fx is added with 64T delay. Note value is increased by +3 and forced to scale0:17: an additional VST synth is added which gets use of the new "step progression" feature as well0:21: Echo Fx: temporary increased to 6 repeats with +3 Note Value and +150% delay on each echo - let's scrub the harp!0:31: adding drums0:41: adding more synth lines, again with "step progression" to vary the sequence1:04: adding a chord sequence played by MIDIbox SID V2 (a typical arpeggio patch is used)1:48: probably you haven't noticed it due to the bad video quality, but I switched to another pattern which plays the electronic harp at C-3 on each step - the groove template is still enabled (boring?)2:05: now something completely different: a LFO is applied on the harp sequence with sine waveform and an interval of 4 steps. Force-to-Scale is enabled2:07: the LFO also sends a CC to Sculpture to vary the timbre.2:13: adding Echo Fx (1 repeat, 64ppqn delay, +150% tick) to this "modulated sequence"2:19: changing LFO waveform to Triangle2:31: changing LFO waveform to Sawtooth2:36: changing Echo Fx to 6 repeats2:46: slowly changing LFO the period to 16 steps (enjoy the change-over effects!)2:52: slowly changing LFO reset to 16 steps (enjoy the change-over effects!)3:00: changing LFO waveform to Sine, play drums again3:14: changing LFO waveform to Triangle3:21: changing CC offset of LFO3:33: unmuting the other instr uments3:56: switching back to original sequence (my favourite moment ;-)4:16: muting/unmuting the toms...4:30: slowly muting the tracks4:40: thanks for listening! :-)Best Regards, Thorsten.

Schrittmacher Posted June 20, 2009 Report Posted June 20, 2009 Awesome Demo Torsten, very cool! Can´t wait for the new hard and software.Nice.... Marco Quote
stuartm Posted June 21, 2009 Report Posted June 21, 2009 Very well done TK! And what a cool track!The delay FX work perfectly on that harp sound. Quote
leaphion Posted June 23, 2009 Report Posted June 23, 2009 Whoa. Really, really can't express it how excited I am to see this teaser.TK, you friggin' rock. <3 Quote
TheAncientOne Posted June 23, 2009 Report Posted June 23, 2009 Lovely work TK.And a request from my girlfriend; when I was watching the video last night on her PC, she sat and listened and then asked if she could have an MP3 of it.Then, looking at the sequencer, said "When is yours going to be finished? I want to try that".Could you post an MP3? I haven't a clue how to extract one from Vimeo!Again, great work, both on the design and the music - it must be a ubiquely satisfying experiece to create your own music on tools you created yourself.

bugfight Posted June 23, 2009 Report Posted June 23, 2009 wow, great demo.when do you release your major label debut? Quote
TK. Posted June 23, 2009 Author Report Posted June 23, 2009 Thank you for the nice comments!Here is the .mp3 of the song. It isn't 100% perfectly played, especially the drums could be better, but I think that by doing corrections it would loose the live feel: http://www.ucapps.de/mp3/midibox_seq/mbseqv4_demo2.mp3Best Regards, Thorsten.

Echopraxia Posted June 25, 2009 Report Posted June 25, 2009 Excellent demo TK.The LFO and repeat fx turned out great!The step progression is a really fun and useful tool.You should practice that song and play it live for friends and record it when you do.Regards,echoPS any updates with Smash and the core32 boards?

TheAncientOne Posted June 25, 2009 Report Posted June 25, 2009 Thanks for the MP3 - now installed on her iPod. Her kids (7 and 10), commented 'Cool' and 'It rocks'. With this spectrum of approval, I think you need to think about an album! Quote
