Micron LIVE: Rainbow in the night

[grinclod]

sexy

[notjarre]

Lovely! Great track, well played. I don't know why I've never seen a micron before?!?!?! Really like it! Thanks for sharing.

[ProphecyMD]

I still come back to this video til this day.... amazing, This is the reason I got my Micron.

[infostatic]

This is one of my favourite Micron tunes. I first hear it a couple years ago, and it was one of the ones that prompted me to get a Micron to make some music for my Xbox game. It's not as good, but I did upload it to my channel yesterday. I still come back to listen to this and other Micron tunes now and then. I need to make a good playlist. Please keep making tunes like this!

[mikamulperi]

@infostatic Thank you! If you like my music, check mulperi dot net !

[Magnumi]

Excellent tune- thanks for sharing! Btw: Were you able to purchase the Micron Live from Finland or did you order it from abroad?

[algebraparish]

can this be plugged into a computer? like for midi purposes?

[algebraparish]

I have a question is this USB powered? Or is it a stand alone keyboard? It would be nice to plug this into a computer via USB. Oh and great song!

[moogy77]

I'm an old dude. Use to play a band called Rainbow, and I just happen to run into you. I want a small and powerful synth, and wa-la, seems I found it.

Is this easy to program and use?

[sedinal]

what do you use more for your other songs on soundcloud? or is it just all played/made on the micron?

[LedgerLines]

very good! lovely,and it shows how powerful this the Micron can be. I use it constantly to sketch out songs, just wish is was battery powered.

[syntheon]

this is great! nice work!!

[AncaNator]

is there anywhere that i can download this to my ipod?

[mikamulperi]

@AncaNator : Not this version, but check mulperi.net

[Coolcat692]

Wow, this is awesome. I have a Micron myself. I like all those programs your using. Im a fan of the Fat2compose program.

[izhan22]

you know some thing

i like this video

i favorite this video

and i also downloaded this video

and i shared this with my colleagues

[MysticalMuffinDude]

Wow, that was so..................well to be honest Im kinda speechless! How much you buy this awesomeness for? Cause I have a mircoKorg at the moment and I saw this and now I want!!1

[guinguinpenguin]

this is unbelievably SICCC! il give you £1000000 if you can do something this good on a microkorg oh no wait their shit so you cant lol

[jokaone1]

Nice  song, makes me fly.

[peter47a]

This must be one of the best Micron Videos around, very well done!

[AloganRidingCo]

[mikamulperi]

@AloganRidingCo THX

[DeadontheRunway]

[DeadontheRunway]

@DeadontheRunway I got one :D

[ultrazauberer1]

very very nice!!!!!!!!!!!

[shoot100strait]

what kind of plugin is needed for the headphone spot? cuz it's obviously not just regular headphones....?

[StormusMaximusz]

how do you make the arrp pattern?

[Gulielmi87]

Damn well played, good job. More! ? :)

[gbboi]

I JUST GOT THE SYNTH AND I LOVE IT... WHAT BRAND OF HEADPHONES WOULD YOU RECOMMEND FOR RECORD IN PERSONAL STUDIO!?(HOPE THEY ARE NO SO EXPENSIVE IM BETWEEN 150 -200 DLS.)

[gbboi]

well performed it!

[xMixemup]

would this be good for a first synth for me? I havent got much experience but this seems to be in my price range

[zoebisch01]

Very excellent. I am seriously contemplating getting one of these and if I do, this video will have influenced that decision. Great work.

[MrStupidHead]

hey this is music. i mean it. music. if it doenst make you want one, that's ok.

cause it;s music!

cool.

however long you spent on this. it was worth it. thkx.

[hellopairs]

@savagemako17 lol. u mad?

[hubidubi13]

HELL YEAH! this is sick!

[savagemako17]

Unfortuneatly you're obviously a one hit wonder. One of the best instrumentals of any kind I've ever heard and then nothing else ????? Maybe you just got lucky or you shot your load and that's all that will ever be heard from you. At any rate, a goddamn beautiful piece and I'll find a way to always keep this around. Let's hope you're moved in such a way again some day,

[cinthyaa]

Nice use of the potential of this instrument.

[TheBluthusten]

Wow, i like it very much. Today i went to our local "MusicStore Cologne" an bought one Micron for playing around with it. It is my first Synthie and i hope i got a lot of fun with it.

Thank u for your videos

[aapelnaut]

Great slide, there was everything...simple pizza is the best pizza. Forza Finland!

[remixerone]

awesome, wonderful!!!

[SKFbitch]

Wow dude, this is amazing, I love it.

[TheIzieman]

Nioocceee Mate I wish i had your skills :'(

Right now im playing a microkorg (of course xD) and a moog little phatty stage II.

would you recommend me adding this to my collection?

And is it very versatile?

All hail brian eno!

izie x

[TheIzieman]

Verryy nice mate :D i have a microkorg Xl and a moog little phatty stage II, Its good but i was wondering if you would reccomend me adding that to my rig?

All Hail Brian Eno

TheIzieman

[TheIzieman]

Very nice mate :D My setup right now Quite simple but does the trick I have a microkorg Xl and alesis micron like yourself and a Akai XR20,

i havnt done any videos yet but be shure to check out them when i do :D

All Hail Brian Eno!

DrIzieman

[masschad]

-Can you plug a guitar into this?

-Can you use it with a P.A. system as well as your computer?

-Did you make the drum beats? Thank you very much! :) ur vidoes are very helpful to a newbie such as myself and i would like if you answered my questions.

[fromthispoint]

Very nice I enjoyed this very much amazing what a creative mind can do , thank you...that peice of music beautiful.

[InfernoAtlantic]

Awesome demo i was considering this as my next purchase now im pretty sure ive made up my mind. tunes great mate reminds me of Metroid Prime if you have heard of it same notes same synth sounds thumbs up!

[KaslarProductions]

I would never get used to that pitch bender.......... How hard is it to get used too?

[dudewhosaysarrh]

@KaslarProductions The pitch bender is very easy to use and easy to get used to, especially since you can edit the range of pitch bend. Besides I like the fact that it glows

[KaslarProductions]

@dudewhosaysarrh

Is there a dead spot in the middle, like on most synths such as microkorg?  and can you edit bend range something like Octave down, and full step up?

[dudewhosaysarrh]

@KaslarProductions The pitchbender automatically returns to the center position as soon as you release it and you can edit the bend range to the maximum of a full octave up or down or anything in between. You can also assign different pitch bend ranges for each oscillator.

[KaslarProductions]

@dudewhosaysarrh

I understand that it returns to the center, and i understand you can edit range... but what i mean is can you assign the pitch bend to only go up a full step and only go down an full octave on the same setting? cause when i play I like to bend down an octave but i don't want to bend UP an octave.... can you assign two different ranges like that?

[InfernoAtlantic]

This question has already been asked but im in a bit of a hurry to check so i apologise if thats the case but does this keyboard have any sort of computer editor software with it?

[samartini1]

Quick question, I'm using a Kaoss Pro but on the look out for a drum machine/microKorg XL, but I don't have the cash at the mo', would this be the next best thing for me? Does it surpass the XL? Is the sequenced bass is done with this unit? Cheaper the better at the moment...

[yonipotter]

great job, made

[93nicd]

Brill. The tune's stuck in my head now!

[zerotheking1993]

Very nice man!

[xdeville1]

sweet :)

[esadomes]

Great Sound

[sedinal]

lovely song!

[goongod]

Micro Korg is a part mono synth....this is small but bigg.lol

[faustoid45]

Do you need An amp to play a synth? Cause like. Im thinking about getting one. And i dont know how they work. Like. Do you need batteries. An amp. A computer. Anything like that. Please help. Thanks.

[Hobbyist56]

fucking retards aren't answering your question, but they are thumbs upping your comment.

to answer, yes, you do need an amp. and only some take batteries.

[firehandszarb]

@faustoid45 you can get a keyboard amplifier, which looks similar to a guitar amp but has a much wider and flatter frequency response, or you can use use some phono leads and plug it into a home stereo system (you might need an adapter to convert jack to phono, depends on the synth).

[dudewhosaysarrh]

@faustoid45 You need an amp, headphones or a connection to your stereo system. You can forget running the micron on batteries, it needs a 9V AC (!) adapter capable of a sustained output current of 1.5 Ampere, but that is included.The Micron is a cool little synth, but a real energy gulper.

[mikamulperi]

@faustoid45 Doesn't work on batteries and yes it needs an amp or headphones. No computer needed.

[IAmBound]

@faustoid45 You can use it with a computer though too and play through the computers speakers.

[mikeroephonics]

I love how I can play the Micron on my lap without worrying about breaking my leg bones...lol . Portable and powerful!

[LoneWolfMusik]

does this have a software editor

[mikeroephonics]

@LoneWolfMusik Yes. The software is called Micronizer. There is also an active Yahoo newsgroup for the Micron. Check it out!

[SatanEatsJesus]

See, how can you watch this video, showing the kind of sounds you can get from a micron, and still say how much better the microkorg is??

You cant get as beautiful of a sound as this one on a microkorg... :)

[CybertechProject]

you cant. MicroKorg is fully digital. This is a ripped off version of the Alesis ION, which is the best VA synth ever. MicroKorg is for complete amateurs... and I won't even mention the keys on it... such a toy.

[dudewhosaysarrh]

@CybertechProject well... its not exactly a ripped off version, but it is essentially the ION(same sound engine) only severely reduced in size and minus a couple of keys on the keyboard and most of the real time controllers. Afaik the micron features a newly designed step sequencer, that the ION didn't have.

[electronicApril]

One of the best Micron live playing to my ears and eyes. Beautifull sounds, well balanced and good live automations.

[cheshirevan]

Absolutely.  I loved it. Great job.

[cheshirevan]

A question too. How did you record this? Just the MIDI out, yeah?

[beckryanperson]

midi out just records the midi notes but no audio, you need an audio to usb interface for recording on computer and trs or rca cables.

[unownuser999]

Wow i love this. are these sounds you made or are they presets?

[mikamulperi]

The sounds are presets, patterns are my own.

[palebit]

nice filter sweep 0:43-0:50 ;)

[francispelletier]

Space Melody

[GamerBlueX]

I could see this being the selection screen for a mega man game or something. lol.

[JonniAnhydrous]

i love this song, but everytime i listen to it i trance out, i try not too but it happens everytime ARGH!

[TheFlashOfficial]

Is the Micron better than the MicroKorg XL ? I cant choose between these synths... Help me !

[swpett]

they are both really good. some say the microkorg is easier to navigate, others say the micron is more powerful. but they are both very sonicly different. you should listen to each, try them if you can and pick which one suits your style

[MattyStevensonBishop]

@swpett I agree, I met a kid who had a big expensive workstation, I forget which one - maybe a phantom, and wanted to sell it so he could get both.

I use a micron - it's lovely, indeed..

[superfreshforlife]

@swpett the micron does look more badass though

[Fun4est]

Yeah listen to what swpett said. For my band we we're looking for another to synth to add with my yamaha csx1 (woo old school! :P) but we ended up going with the microkorg. Micron is nice, very powerful, but microkorg is definitely easier to navigate. Only bad part for some people is the keys of the microkorg and you get a vocoder :] but yeah just try them out and see what sounds catch your attention and how comfortable you feel with the synths.

[ReneeNme]

Funny I came to this video and saw your comment Fun4est. I bought a Micron a few months ago and was just cruising Micron videos watching other people do their thing and saw that you mentioned having a Yamaha CS1x. I've got one too. Woot !!!

[Fun4est]

niceee!! It's a beast haha! Looks so rad too :]

[ReneeNme]

Thay ARE neat lookin'. They look like the same people that designed the F-117 Nighthawk are the same people that designed the CS1x. LOL

[Fun4est]

haha i've never seen that model before-i think. But that's pretty funny :P

[MustangJohnG]

MicroKorg has a much more Enter Shikari style tone in it thats easily programable. Micron is more of a different style. Very differnt from each other though.

[DomLagrueMusic]

That's probably because Enter Shikari used a microkorg for a time :P (I think)

[MustangJohnG]

Hahah true... I think I can make one out in their Anything Can Happen in the Next Half Hour vid,.. Im not 100% positive, but Im pretty sure they at least used one back then..... I know they're big into the Electribe EMX-1...

And the KAOSS Pad.

Considering both of those are Korg... Ill bet they had a microkorg.

[evanlovestdwp]

@MustangJohnG just watch the sorry your not a winner music video. he clearly uses one in it.

[MustangJohnG]

Is it? I wasn't quite sure if it was a microKorg or a Micron...

Thanks for the info though...

[HELLSPAWN1973]

Good Sounds and Feeling - and one the less Videos with good Sound-Quality. Go on! :)

[tdq11]

Pretty good, except for some abrupt and needless cutoff changes.

[JordanWieber]

i just bought one today :) so kewl

[knockonwoods]

Nice job!!!

[masukyutub]

OMG u're cool man..!!

u make me wanna buy that synthesizer

[Mtayieb]

me 2 man im cool as well. :)

[TheMorttt]

How do you get that sound constantly going in the background?

[mikamulperi]

Use setup mode, where you can have patterns rhythms and programs all at the same time.

[TheAnderman]

Holy crap! That was fucking cool!

[eleven38]

lol

[pevzi]

Cool sound, great melody. Want to buy that synth -_-

[Goth108]

i bought one meanwhile. it's much more powerfull than i expected, just an absolutely great machine!!!

[xAbbeyxDawnx]

Im selling one of these if anyone is interested. Its brand new only used a few times so its in great condition :D If anyones interested message me

[ChrisMcQueen85]

I'd buy it off you, but I'm skint!... Looks fuck:ng sick though! :-P

[phil81af]

How much you want for it?

Phil

[jumpmaster98]

really nice camera and playing!

[hypotheria]

is it worth it paying extra money for the AKAI MINIAK wich afaik got some more effects?

I mean, the akai would be a must buy if they made it easier to edit but its still the same but more effects and a black dress..

[tektek2012]

sounds great, can't wait til mine comes in

[ReneeNme]

I guess you received yours by now tektek2012 ? I ordered one and it should be here this week sometime.

[alrightTHATScool]

so that thing your playing on is the only equipment used to make this????

this is unbelievable! u just made me fall in love with you... in a straight way!! def. checkin out ur site in the side bar bro...

would u have any objections to me usuing ur music in a video possibly...see my vids for example of my style...

b.walker*

[xAbbeyxDawnx]

are u using just the Micron in this video?

[mikamulperi]

Yes

[stormshadow2100]

@xAbbeyxDawnx kinda dumb question but also funny hahahahhahaaaaaaaaaa

[Cschratz122]

I just tripped so hard. and im not even high.

[alexb09]

I'm high. I'm tripping balls cause of it

[alrightTHATScool]

hahaha best comment ever...

yah this shit is sick as hell!!

b.walker*

[bratblaster]

GETTING ONE!

happy!

[manoman1515]

between this and the micron latenight jam it definetly helped me make a decision between microkorg and micron, of course i researched more indepth but hearing what they can do really helps in the decision process

[shaunoftheundead]

chec out "Alesis Micron Jam: Sunset"

[italialex23]

@manoman1515 The "Broken" cover is also one of the reasons I chose the micron.

[Microsloth]

Definitely the best Micron demo.

[FeLiix94]

Yeah, that's right !

[JohnLRice]

Excellent! Very well done!

[napoedge]

great sound!!!

i love this keybord O_O

[Goth108]

fantastic!!!

i'll buy one soon!

[MacbookJack]

dude this is my best tune on youtube right now!

Has this got usb ports to hook up to computer?

Because I want to use it in Apple Logic.

Thank You

Dj Ashcroft

[mikamulperi]

No USB port, you can control it only via MIDI cables.

[yenrac17]

so you don't need a computer at all?

[Goth108]

no. if you have good keyboards computers are useless.

[milkygear]

oh that sucks. :(

[Radi0act1v]

So great, amazing vid !

[Flstudiogirl]

This is so great!

:)

[yapples4388]

I have an Alesis. ive been watching this video for a while. and i finally learned this. you did exellent on this. I tried out for a local band around here. and i used this. and i got in so thanks alot!!!!

[bigd939]

AWSOME!!!!!!!!!!!!

[undiebundie]

This is probably a retarded question but does the Micron have internal speakers or do i have get ones for it?

[mikamulperi]

No internal speakers, use headphones or connect to any amp / mixer

[undiebundie]

thanks dude!

[UnclePadula90]

does the synth have a "strings" setting on it?

[THEWEEEEST]

would this be a good starter synth this is exactly the kind of style im looking to make and was wondering if i should find somthing else for a starter

[kingofkeyboards]

This is a synth for both experts and beginners. These are great! Microkorgs suck. These are the best for everything.

[THEWEEEEST]

thanks alot!

[nemesis8722]

very good stuff. i like

[ScheideProductions]

which setup is that

[mikamulperi]

My own

[ScheideProductions]

Did you create the sounds and patterns?

If so thats awesome!

and if not want to let me know

[SteveDutchy]

Beautiful :)

[WannaBDirecda]

Nice, that was awesome

[Renegade498]

please, for the love of god, tell me what preset you started on!!

its soo nice!!

i need to get me one of these. a friend has the microKORG, and this Micron just seems sooo much better. dont get me wrong, the microKORG is a really nice peice of equipment, but i just need this micron!!

[mikamulperi]

JP Journey

[Renegade498]

thanks

[PoonJammer69]

hmm im thinking about getting one of these.. cant choose between this or the MicroKorg one.. about the same price. but im new to all this.. hmmmm help?

[remynash]

Micron takes some getting used to as far as programming goes (you can always just use presets if you're not that into making your own noises). From what I've played on the MicroKorg, its simpler to just twiddle knobs due to the accessible knobs, but those mini keys just kill it for me.

In short, Micron if you're confident in synthesis, MK if you're just starting and wanting to try your hand at synthesizing.

[tooby98765]

With MicroKorg you'll also need a separate drum machine, etc. MicroKorg is more for use as a lead synth.

[remynash]

Ah you're right I forgot about that. Yeah Micron is more of a workstation I suppose. Sorry, I'm new to synthesis as well but take it from me, even if I don't know what every filter, LFO, oscillator, etc does, I'm very happy with my Micron!

[tooby98765]

Oh, yeah ... I'm getting a Micron as soon as I can get the cash together!

The lack of control knobs looks like a pain but there's a few programs available to edit sounds via PC. A $6 MIDI to USB cable should be a good investment...

[MoDangerFlint]

This is a great sound!

The micron is a pretty cool machine - you´ve done very well!

[vuguz]

boring

[DsSiege11]

Hopefully I will get my Micron this week, so just watching this exelent video again to get in the Micron mood :D

[moderndayprophet]

Hey man, I just sold my Dr-880 and am thinking about geting one of these. Is it just a glorified keyboard? Do I need a computer to use it? I currently record into a MicroBR 4 track.

Thanks.

[mikamulperi]

You don't need a computer, you can do this with only Micron.

[d3p3ch3mod3]

no it's not really just a glorified keyboard... i'd say it's more like a sequencer except with emphasis on keys instead of knobs.. can't really record one loop then let it play while you record another though which is one of the funnest parts about sequencing.. What do you think of the MicroBR? I'm saving up to buy a recorder now, i'm leaning towards it or the tascam gt-r1 or just a laptop since I already have a line 6 1/4"-to USB box

[himtroy]

I've been wanting to get a synth somewhat like this. I've always been upsessed with the mini-moog, the old korgs and oberheims and all that. How does this synth stand as an imitation of those old analogs? versus the eclectronica/techno type of sound

[remynash]

It has a few filters that are actually based off the oberheims and moogs, as well as alesis specific filters. As with any synths that aren't one trick ponies, you can get close to those sounds.

[theunhappyzombie]

my pants are ruined because of that
