Kamoni Plays a Set with a Machinedrum and Monomachine

[NappyHeadedHorse]

FYI: Elektron created a playlist of user videos showcasing their machines, and put your video on it! it's on their youtube channel

[misterlestrade]

i just thought up the illest beat i could've made with the basic pattern around 0:25. sheesh

[MrGuyfella]

@calypsobomber

You use MIDI to controll the Elektron gear. One model of the machinedrum has sampling capabilities and if I'm not mistaken it's the priciest one.

I'm assuming 3 people in a feud of excitement hit the "dislike" button in an attempt to press the "like" button. Dude this is a nice setup, and tasty patches you got goin there.

[mk7mk77]

Smokin KOOL stuff !!!!

[TRUCIPROD]

wow

[NappyHeadedHorse]

favorited <3

[deejayn4cer]

Very nice perfomance!

[ddaynyc]

yeah, the synths are producing the sounds, but some drum pads can do this sort of voltage controlled triggering right through the machine drums line ins.

[ddaynyc]

LFO's running through the patches, retriggering samples and stuff like that.

[OfficialNeilGard]

Tell me, how many velocities does the drumkat produce out the midi line?

[ddaynyc]

You can actually hook up your pads right into the line ins and it records velocity via voltage control or something. really wild.

[iNtoxer]

Cool )

[derbydookie]

Baddass, I'd pay to see this if you had an equally awesome laser/strobe show :D

[OrbVroomer]

great stuff! Way to explore/experiment & groove @ the same time.Many times the beat is sacrificed for the sounds & kinda loses me.You've got both covered here very well.Interesting to see & hear & probably to perform as well.

[mickooyy]

wicked set up dude .. awsome!

[MunkyBo11ecks]

Astounding shtuff. 5/5

[fibranijevidra]

Very cool!

[jonsin78]

Sounds cool! Very unique set up. Well done.

[aikighost]

Interesting stuff. I've been doing something similar with my mpd32 and reason 4.0.

[mikecabardo]

hey kamoni! have you heard of KJ Sawka? He's the real deal man! :)

[XYtoTheDoubleG]

that was completely awesome man!

[whoismikey]

hey dude...could you let me know the name of your pads please. Havnt seen them in like 15 years!!

[motavis]

Just look up KAT Drum pads Sweet Water has some.

[MachineGunBallad]

this is soooo bad ass.

[Darwinist]

Awesome stuff man, I really liked your old Ableton jams, but glad to see you are taking things into new directions. I hope you haven't completely abandoned Ableton though, it's a great piece of software.

I´d love to see you hook up with a band, somebody like Restiform Bodies, your beats would go well with their take on hip-hop. Check em out on Myspace if you aren't familiar.

[dachhh]

very cool! Do you keep in sync with the machines, and if so, how? By the lights? Do you have a click track in there somewhere? Or are all the LFOs and effects running in and our of sync with your playing?

[SYN7HOR]

Very, very cool.

[daswesen]

this has just blown my mind. This is incredibly wonderful! WOOT!

[BXT2k7]

Second that, amazing! :O

[PaPyKoG]

impressive, very fekin impressive!

[ramoyosoy]

the pads look like mickey mouse :)

nice video :)

[VJFranzK]

Luckily they dont SOUND like mickey. ;-)

I like your new set up and IDM sound.

You are a talented musician... If you ever want to make a

VJ type video give me a call?

[cthulufunk]

Good move on the Kat. Amazing how something that came out so many years ago just puts all the competition to shame.

I'm curious why the total shift to hardware, though.  What do the Elektrons offer you that Ableton and a good soundcard couldn't provide?

[Liquidbasss]

interesting

!

[patotubes]

This is awesome,you must join a electronic band o some project.

[thedominionx]

He doesn't have to join one, hes a one man band, thats the whole point.

[sameedShaikh]

i like the new style, a little more IDM-ish. keep it up.

[inrhythm123]

tight stuff... any post production stuff from these live sessions?

[kamoni]

i haven't yet made any "tracks" with this setup I prefer to just release this as improvised performance. Some Kamoni house releases are on itunes though.

[Lemure33tree]

What drumKAT is this? Is this the dk10 or a newer version? I am looking into one and am not sure which on to get....Thanx in advance and thanx for these dope ass beats...peace

[oberheini]

:) ... 8) ... 8O ... 8D !!!

the new art!

[plasticfun]

fuckin' genius kamoni!!I love your style!!

[bowielectric]

pretty dope beats with this new set up. loving it. i was bopping to it all the way

how much are those equipment?

awesome job!

[ElasticMinds]

That setup right there will set you back more than 3000-4000 dollars in US Dollars. Expensive but great if your into making IDM.

[iluvAnime4]

idm is a bad word

[error204]

why is it?

[DarkShroom]

because it implies other music is not intelligent and sounds lame :)

[DarkShroom]

yunno my comments never end up attached to the messages properaly, anyway awsome vid many I envy your sense of Rhythm.

[error204]

ok, thanks for the tip.

[genxtargetmarket]

I think that is an interpretation, or rather a misinterpretation, on your part. "Intelligent" is used as a descriptor to further define "Dance Music". Thus, it is of the Dance Music genre, but more brainy and 'composed' as opposed to just banging out phat beats, yo.

At least that is what I take away from it.

[DarkShroom]

well personally tbh I don't really care what anyone calls music but I do feel that the adjectives "intelligent" and the opposite "stupid" would be better classified as opinions rather than genres. When using words like "ambient" and "jumpup" and "tech step" at least we can, mostly, agree on the definitions of each.

[BRKZ666]

great! :)

[bananaxtree]

I like the new sound/technique. Ableton is cool and all, but I still dream of having a bunch of equipment to replace a sketchy iBook.

[tubewatch66]

really cool!!!

It's seems the sound settings change while you're playing them, are there any LFOs on the Sounds? The Sequencers arent playing any Modulations?

[kamoni]

seqs aren't on at all. yep lots of LFO action happening ;)

[vladimiralykov]

This is pretty cool.

DnB is usually not my style.. but I can see potential in this as live act :)

[Neon360]

reminds me some early aphex twinage type stuff... fantastic stuff man... I need you to mail me a CD, please :D

[relapse808]

also how are you changing notes with the drumkat?

[kamoni]

drumkat sends out different note and/or chord values depending how you program it

[relapse808]

this is seriously sick as fuck. I love my MD and Mono but you have taken it to the next level. :)

[whales]

i want one

[MetaRinka]

I'm curious to how this is wired up. Are you triggering kits on both machines, playing to a sequence or some other shenanigans?

[kristoffer1989]

+1

i am curius to

[kamoni]

yep. Both machines are triggered direct from the drumKat. . No loops or sequences in any of the vids. Thnx for watching!

-k

[kristoffer1989]

that's cool. i really like your spds battery videos. have you recorded any songs that we can download?

[kamoni]

very soon i hope to have some hi-Q audio from a live set available for D/L. I'll def post a bulletin when it's available

[kristoffer1989]

nice! looking forward to it!

[Wexnar]

good shit.
