Sonic Meandering #1 - Waldorf Blofeld + Virus TI2 + Ableton

[MsrAlaindeFerrier]

Simon hi ,must say ,i love these sounds am going to buy the blofeld very soon its absolutely astonishing beautiful solid tones and you've put together a veritable masterwerk here love it you're a fuckin genius fella you are indeed Thanks loads really impressed Al x

[plasmaforce11]

Nice sounds mate ;)

[entenfang]

great 

[Usethebanana]

Dude, this track is... magnificent!!! The sounds, the beats, quality, the atmosphere... everything.

I'm listening to this at work and I just realized I just sat here being hypnotized by your track, doing no work at all...

[RCS0815]

excellent sound quality

[mynmyself]

that UC-33 is sexy! hehe

im enjoying your music, pretty hypnotic

thanks

[ChinaSyndrome1]

if the drums are coming from the ti, its official that its a beast, very well done dude, kudos

[BoyManikMusic]

Hey man, this is really tight. I actually have that exact same setup. I have a question though. Is there anyway to automap what you do on the Blofeld into Ableton. I have a track setup with an external instrument so I can put effects on, but the Blofeld never stops playing when I mute the tracks. Only when I actually press the stop button. Turning the volume all the way down does nothing either, and I want to automate the volume slowly getting louder. Any ideas? Good video.

[martinotegui]

hi man you make a very cool sounds

[nomadikjobs]

beautiful...thanx



[Muirragui]

Cool equipment, good music.

[Epiphyte]

How do you find the combination of the TI2 Desktop and the Blofeld? I currently have a TI2 Desktop and have a line on a good price on a Blofeld (not the keyboard version, though, so it would be missing the sampling as well). The idea intrigues me, but I'm worried about them being kind of redundant.

[siedgey]

@Epiphyte Hey there, I have found them to be different enough to complement each other nicely. They are very different to edit as well which means you get different results by messing about. In my opinion the Blofeld is a bargain and sits next to the Virus nicely...

[bakagajin]

LEKKER!

[blackdovesaturn]

very very nice.



[xensorama]

Niceeeeeeeeee I Cobgratulations! I love this sound!! ;)

A Strong hug

[pseudomass]

I always love your videos, Simon

[snorklebort35]

I have never heard a virus & blofeld used so well!!!!!!!!!!! Great job man!!!

[Booger6995]

Mind my asking what is the mixing device on the left? Like the way it interacts with your DAW.

[ebolasoulja]

@Booger6995 Evolution UC-33e. Discontinued, but turn up on eBay for pretty cheap...

[kuxvibes]

NICE MUSIC MAN BUT YOUR CLAP KILL ME:(

[djnavi850]

@kuxvibes i luv the clap... its perfect

[kuxvibes]

@djnavi850 i think i ts fake and plastic sound but is just a OPINION:)

[bratan007]

Great video. I like how it shows all your setup, very clean :) Drooling over TI2.. :)~

[julijet60]

sounds perfect!! well done ;)

[n0nstrum]

ohhhh so awesome is it released or will it be released ?

[siedgey]

@n0nstrum This was just a little live Jam, it's not even been saved I'm afraid! I might get around to a realy version of it someday..

[crezrox]

this is awesome!!

[atabeylive]

the blofeld is a banging synth, I was going to fall for the blofeld but went with the virus ti snow, maybe in the near future I will get a blofeld desktop because still for studio production it has some nice sound that the virus does not have.

[siedgey]

@atabeylive That's what I like about the Blofeld - even though I have the Virus it has very different sounds on it. It's great for anything from harsh, atmospheric soundscapes to lush organic noises. Love it!

[DjSETTES]

Hello - I know that once someone already responded but I can not find an answer-what camera do you use? Great sound

[pissdrunk1988]

@DjSETTES Im pretty sure he just records the audio and puts it over the video, dont think any camera has that good a sound quality....

[parhelion22]

I like the chill ambient feel to this. Awesome work!

[fullmoonguitar2]

come on its stupid , all that expensive gear for this! just buy a kalimba

[fermixx]

This is a really new and fresh sound, not the generic crap from beatport.

Long time i don't hear a track i enjoy so much

Finally someone CREATIVE, don't making music just to earn some bucks

[siedgey]

@fermixx Thanks a million for this comment - glad you like it! I think you should always make the music that comes from your heart, rather than copycat shit which Beatport is full of. :]

[GesangsStudio]

thanks, 10 minutes are worth.........................­.hope comes more soon with inkl. waldorf blofeld

[ihasmario]

Really nice stuff - contemporary sound, although perhaps notably down the tech house end. Good flow with your gear.

I wish the modern sound shared the IMO more balanced timbre of older tracks - modern electronic music seems to have departed from mids and pushed out more towards the bass, which I think was a poor move of the collective genres as a whole because of the general monotony of kicks.

This track would have been much more effective if the kick was turned down IMO.

[ihasmario]

@ihasmario Er, I mean micro/minimal house, particularly in terms of feel regarding fotec foyamat and matthew dear.

I think if you explored this sound with some slices/glitching it would be killer.

[FunkyFresh871]

AMAZING! saw the whole thing! keep it up!

[9milNL]

Where can I download/buy this track? Sounds very very nice :)

[ElektroNoiser]

NIce work!

[RobbinRobertHS]

Maybe a stupid question but, what can you do with Virus TI2? Making synths or what?!

PLEASE TELL ME!

[robvbeats]

Great work as always Siedgey! I use a blofeld desktop as well.Great synth like you said.Are you streaming your synths into Ableton by the way?? Just curious.

peace,rv.

[MarcS4R]

damn you are making me wanting to buy a virus and a blofield man....i love the tune...very nice.

i love the clapsound.....

[mab1ro]

I dig this!

[muzzamilshakil1]

amazing stuff... ne chance this tunes gonna get released? a name perhaps i can keep an eye out for? wanna say big ups for your track shoogle... its a fucking brilliant choon... greetings from pakistan!!!

[AndruuT]

Nice vid! and sick gear!

[firehandszarb]

Sounds really nice and has a nice groove.

[denko238]

perfect!not as powerfull as others, but still damn good! nice work! take care ;)

[dusp2k]

Indeed, the usual Mr Stokes quality :) Nice relaxing song!

[zmooc]

Once again Awesome!

I think you have swapped your left and right monitor; for the most accurate stereo image the tweeters should be on the "inside" and the woofer ports on the "outside".

[Dorcider]

Good job my friend ^^

[Schwammgurke]

Love ur Tracks, snaffle is the bomb... definitely underrated.

greetings from Frankfurt, Germany

[MOGGOFHEAVEN]

Are you just using the blofel there mate for your melody?

[GreifDich]

Ohhh man... that's amazing... I am thinking about getting a Waldorf Blofeld. I am completely new in this matter. Just have an old keybord. To be honest I have no clue what you are doing in this video but I suppose you are using a computer to control the Blofeld and before you have some mixers to control the "channels"? I love that sound.

[kolakube123]

This is a top track. Either end of the night tune or a B side.

"Whats a B side?" Go on, some teenager ask!

[djstek]

fantastic tune..;).... hey man, do you use the UC33 to control the beat loops in Ableton?? What about the line out from both synths ?? ..is there some hidden mixer?:)

[djstek]

[RedToro63]

[Dragan566]

[ZEDMECO]

serious music! love your set up, real hands on. great vibe spread over 10 minutes of delightful abstraction. 5 dancing men. z

[brayrouz]

great stuff ;)

[rklpc]

Sounds great!!

Greetings to Glasgow

[hilato]

I want to know what is it like to get the blofeld the one with out the keys there is this small module one that looks like the virus Ti Snow how is that compare to the one you have with the keyboard.

[RRKS69]

EXCELLENT...been thinking about a Blofeld for a long time...

[siedgey]

@RRKS69 Thanks man, definitely worth the asking price I reckon! Loving mine..

[VynnyVynnyl]

muito bom mesmo nota 1000!!

[SunamachiSoundSystem]

This music is cool, too !

simon san !

[urabummer]

you know...even with my favorite musicians, there are bound to be one or two songs that are not to my liking. but you sir...it seems you can do no wrong.

[siedgey]

@urabummer That is very kind of you to say, I can't thank you enough for taking the time to watch, listen and comment.

[frankco74]

When I first saw you recently uploaded a video I was overly anxious to hear what sounds were seeping out now. Simon, listening to your music is like a breathe of fresh air and can always be heard softly in the background. Your timing is unquestionable and your transitions are flawless. You are truly a natural at this and there are OTHERS who are watching and listening to your sounds...carefully...

Bravo Simon bravo...!

[siedgey]

@frankco74 Wow - thank you very much for this comment. I really appreciate you taking the time to say those kind words and I'm glad that you're getting excited about new videos on my channel! I hope I can keep putting out new ones that keep you listening.. :]

[DrAsTiC09]

Simon dude you are taking this in a very good direction i love it ;-)

[aspidistral]

btw, I think the manual for your M1's recommends they be placed with the tweeter on the inside, so swapped left/right compared to how you run them. Not sure if you just prefer it your way, but thought I'd mention it. Supposed to give wider sweet spot for stereo imaging, or some such thing.

[siedgey]

@aspidistral That's a great tip - thanks for that! I never actually thought to check which way round they should be. I'm moving flat / studio just now so I'll flip them about for the new setup.. :]

[aspidistral]

Really nice. Good job.

[aphasia8]

always use the full youtube time!!! :D

in this day and age of hustle and bustle...everyone needs to slow down and have a nice listen.

peace

[siedgey]

@aphasia8 Thank you for this comment - hopefully people can spare the 10 minutes to listen to the whole thing!

[connore99]

I'd buy your record

[Slight79]

good stuff as usual :)

[siedgey]

@Slight79 Thanks man! I sent you a demo track to your e-mail account... :]

[thildebrand]

this is album ready stuff on the level of jega. Very good, groovy, background engine energy producing dance music, spinning, twirling, dancing machine elves stuff.

[NarayanMusic]

Damn that's groovy...

What made you choose the keyboard version of the blofeld, use the sample option at all?

[jenmacphee]

Oi fatty! I like x x x

[gmullin]

If you like the Blofeld you will like the Micro Q better. Grab an ebay bargain.

[siedgey]

@gmullin Don't tempt me! Why do you think I would like the Q better? 

[bananepoep]

very very nice blofeld action

i liked every sec of this video very cool

i hope you'll post a track with some funky bass sounds from the blofeld that would be cool i guess?

[siedgey]

@bananepoep Thanks a lot man, glad you liked it! Funky bass you say?! I'll see what I can do.. :]

[DhanyMoreno]

"any requests from the Blofeld or anything else then let me know!" I want more !

Good job !

[siedgey]

@DhanyMoreno Haha plenty more to come! Thanks for watching.

[juliusfunkhouser]

noice....like it

[n0nstrum]

again very good :)

[kb1629]

very, very good.

[siedgey]

@kb1629 Thank you!

[SileDevil]
