Here's a long video to end 2024 on a high note! 😁 If you want to skip the "build from scratch", you can jump at 2:00 😉
(but if you can go here if you want to see my other "from scratch" videos: https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLgx3SGU9Zq73h3f-WBvRuuhbQm194IwHz&si=MSmnswXr5hlJ6nP_)
3 instruments were used for this track:
- The Dreadbox Nymphes for the CHORDS and LEAD
- The Roland S-1 for the BASS
- The Arturia Drumbrute Impact (DBI) for the DRUMS
With everything sequenced by the Arturia Keystep Pro (KSP).
1- The video starts with me recording in STEP mode 3 CHORDS, and setting the pattern's length to 3 steps (Track 3 of the KSP).
2- I then record 2 notes for a 3-step pattern for the BASS (Track 2 of the KSP).
3- I quickly switch to the DRUM pattern recording (Track 1 of the KSP), where I used some of the nice features of the KSP's sequencer (Time Shift, Randomness)
4- For the live performance, it's mainly me transposing in real-time on the KSP and playing with the sound parameters of the 3 instruments (Cutoff, Decay, Reverb etc.).
