Thanks for checking this out! Today I have finally managed to get another live video recorded for YouTube! It's been a looooong time since my last live jam, partly because my digital camera died (I say died, I mean I dropped it in a load of molten candle wax..) and partly because there's been a lot going on..
Anyhoooo...I have a new digital camera (HD!), some new video editing software and plenty of new ideas! This jam started off as some chunky techno but as a couple of hour rolled by it gradually got a bit deeper until I ended up with whatever this is. It's still got some chunk to it but it's quite floaty and melodic - kinda reminds me of Gui Boratto in a way, except not nearly as good..
For this I used Ableton as the main sequencer rather than the 909 - I was always an advocate of hardware for everything but I have really started to enjoy using Ableton for this kinda thing since I got my wee Novation Nocturn (controlling filters and FX in this vid). I will definitely be cracking out the 909 again at some point though...
Sounds wise, all of the basslines, the mid range beeps, the main sine-wave melody and the white noise are coming live from the Virus which is being triggered by Ableton. That's over there on the right getting tweaked like mad. The drums are all done within Ableton, and the mad FX noise at the very start and the rolling lead sound are coming from the Predator VSTi...a veritable beast of a synth, but can be a bit trancey (as with every VSTi I've tried...).
Hope you like it, drop me a comment if you were affected in any way...as always thanks for all your support and for watching my lil' vids. Fire over any questions you have and I'd be happy to answer them as well.. :)
