Kraftzwerg as an IDM-Groovemachine

[jaapaap5]

get mine soon.

[traumaduo]

@MrBoxxec; hmmm...if you watched the vid it should be clear ;-)

this is a realtime recorded track. no overdubs or layerings...just recorded in one take! read the description!

[MrBoxxed]

Is this a direct recording of a layered in parts recording?

[MrBoxxed]

brilliant

[XYtoTheDoubleG]

Great demonstration of it's power!

[traumaduo]

@XYtoTheDoubleG Thank U!!!

[traumaduo]

thanks to all the watcher; 10'000 clicks!!!!

[PukkatronicAllstars]

Great track. Well done. Good ad for the Kraftzwerg.

[traumaduo]

@PukkatronicAllstars

thank you very much!!! seems really to be the one of my vids... ;-)))

i should do more with this small synth... :-/

[PukkatronicAllstars]

@traumaduo You should!!

[traumaduo]

@PukkatronicAllstars

haha...but that's kind of boring...there are so many great analog synths outside... ;-)

[DavideModu]

Nice

[traumaduo]

@DavideModu

grazie mille



[traumaduo]

sex is beautiful!!! :-P

[CarouselExperiment]

Thats one super sexy track:)))))

[VJFranzK]

A strange and delightful IDM electro glitch sound! Seems to contain a lot in one box. With a semi-modular, you get wires when you want them and not when you don't, right?

Is it just the video, or does the tone sound somewhat "thin" in the bass department?

That and lacking battery power are the only problems I could think of.

[traumaduo]

@VJFranzK

hi, yes - the krafzwerg contains enough stuff in one box and yes, you can wire if you want or not, that's right!

the bass is thin because of the videoquality of YT and i think i have cutted a little to much on the low frequencies :-D ...otherwise he has enough basspower i think...

the problem with batterys...hmmm..well i don't know it its a problem...because you will not have possibity to connect a headphone...so why using batteries?!?

[VJFranzK]

@traumaduo I sometimes play synths outside, or at unexpected places. ;-) So I always wish that EVERYthing had batteries!

Subscribed! Will check out your other vids too, keep it up.

[traumaduo]

@VJFranzK

yes...we sometimes too...but we're taking a small "generator"...because...we need a bit more power than batterypower ;-)

thanks...enjoy them...i'm gonna check yours too... ;-)

[tsankip]

Wow! Very nice video! Great vibe! Would you recommend this synth? Pretty good price, how's the quality?

[traumaduo]

@tsankip

thanks a lot!!

well, it always depends on;

what you wanna do with it

wich expectations do you have

and also how much knowledge about synthesizers dou you have?

the quality is ok for the price. it's a good start also for modular synthesizers stuff...

if you have more questions you can ask me!

j.t.

[traumaduo]

hi...thanks!

please read the comments and the descriptiontext for the clip.

you can't control the oscillators separately via midi. i've used controlvoltages (cv) to control the kraftzwerg. i used midi from ableton and i send it to 4 doepfer mcv 4 ...this ones are converting the midi-signals into cv. i never used the midi interface of the kraftzwerg (mine is not working)

[PhilipClevberger]

Sounds amazing, well done. I have tried to figure out how the Kraftzwerg works. Does it have one Midi in, and you assign different midi channels to each oscilator?

Thanks in advance

[traumaduo]

no...the reverb is not from the kraftzwerg....if i remember correctly it was the standard reverb from ableton with some self-tweaking/adjustments....

[asnierkishcowboy]

is this reverb included in the kraftzwerk? i think it sounds amazing.i have a korg emx and the reverb in it sounds so damn crappy.

[barry0burton]

nice setup sik tune

[traumaduo]

thanks...i'm also still stunning i did this 4 voice track at once on a monophonic synth...

[traumaduo]

lol...yes, you can pick it up if you're here till 14:00... ;-p

[ThePellerhead]

please can i have your rig? nice set up

[traumaduo]

@mrproper

Hello! thx!!!!

Don't forget, for doing that i'm using some stuff with it...(Midi to CV converters) ;-)))

But its a great synth!!!!

[dumphat1]

hey this is very very good - nice work...

[traumaduo]

@dumphat1

thank you very much!!!

[traumaduo]

@ungleichklang; thx a lot!!!

[OifelOifel]

@traumaduo

very good demo of the kraftzwerg.... haha iPad as a controler... sweet :-)

[traumaduo]

@OifelOifel

hey, thanks a lot!

yesss...the iPad/iPhone are really Powerfull controllers...it just takes time to make some templates...this one was a predefined one...so i had only to set the midi-cc's

maybe you check the DeMoon clips...this controller template is made by myself!

check it out!

have a nice day!

[ungleichklang]

This one is so damn good. I really envy your skills. Chapeau

[mamilatus]

im very impressed!!  super idea,to make such a track.

[traumaduo]

@mamilatus ;

Thank you very much!!!!

[vstbull]

so, which sounds did actually come from the kraftzwerg??? the doepfer are filters i understand? i wish somebody did a video only using the kraftzwerg...

[traumaduo]

@vstbull

@vstbull;

Damn!!!! have you read the description below the video?!? and the comments i wrote?!?

...i don't think so!!

...if you had, everything should be clear!!!

ALL SOUNDS COMES SIMOULTANEOUSLY FROM THE KRAFTZWERG!!!

the Doepfer MCV4 are not Filters!!?!?

these are converters...they convert Midi-Signals in Control-Voltages (CV) sended to the Kraftzwerg!

so, read first, then ask!!!

[CaptainErn]

What hardware did you use to send the midi data from ableton to the kraftzwerg?

[traumaduo]

@CaptainErn

for this i used 3 Doepfer MCV-4. they are really usefull and not so expensive!

[JuaanAir]

Excellent comme tjs, quelle tuerie ce Kraftzwerg!!! ;-)

[traumaduo]

@JuaanAir

merci, aussi a toi!!!

[jakomaron]

magnifique !

Nice set and nice video.

Tell us about the ipad, whish app is it ? and what does it control ?

thanks for this kraftzwerg music.

give us some more...

[traumaduo]

@jakomaron

thanks a lot!!!

the software i used on the ipad is called iTM MCU (there are other tools from iTM) and sends midi-cc's thru the wifi-network. you need an additional software called iTouchMidi MCU on your computer. this software is visible in your daw as a midi-interface.

the mcu template fits optically in ableton live.

so i used for muting or unmuting the audioinputs of the 3 oscillators..i also control the volume, the fx-amount and changing scenes for the midi-tracks

stay tuned

[theau61]

This is clever and so great sounding. Thanks for this. Great track. I would pay for this

[traumaduo]

@theau61:

wow, thanks a lot!! makes me feel good!!!
