My Big Fat Drum Machine

[DANCERRAVER]

i can hear a Xotox grove in there nicely done mate

[774434]

frogs make the best drum machines.

[ThroxxOfVron]

Hey, Shaggie; Is the Zeroscillator still available; I'd like to work something out with You to purchase it...

Cheers!

[zacmobile]

38 people are jealous because they don't have this many knobs.

[strgzr53]

run into into a laptop or pc and use something like vdj or ableton or something along those lines. then overlay your audio and your video.

[ShazibElahi]

hey buen video yo no hablo español pero acabo de utilizar a google traductor por lo que me hace ver un puente fronterizo, pero de nuevo nice video muy lindo ah y esto es sólo una prueba: el gusto caca bueno como pedos

[tonefunkdef]

i wish i had a blue DRM1. much better looking than my silver one.

very impressed with the Ebbe und Flut. i was thinking about getting a filterbank but your given me a hard decision.

[dawoof]

dude where you get so much money>?

[shagghie]

I hack charities, and sell cloned kittens from China.

I also have a day job I work my ass off doing.

gotta burn candle at both ends to afford this stuff.

the other trick is to constantly sell gear to try new things out and learn. I no longer own any of the things in this vid, for example.

sometimes, tho, I wish I had an easier day job, and only a machinedrum and headphones...

[11111112828weh]

yeah, i always consider selling gear for new stuff, but then i think how much, i will miss items, i guess theres some things i never use tho, or they just kinda suck, but u never know when it will come in handy

[cartesiaLive]

yess... that's the trick with gear...

Stop chasing the perfect box.. lock yourself in the room with the first thing you grab and dont come out till youve made your album..

Course, I think I'll just sit here on the internet browsing youtube and ebay for new gear... maybe this time I'll find that one perfect piece! :P

[seanSHRED87]

@cartesiaLive

I agree.

The perfect machine is your brain.

Use some imagination and you can make great stuff out of anything!

[djratboy]

Selling drugs I bet.

[biscaygolfo]

does anyone know if is possible to trigger the DRM mkIII from a drum pad of an e-drum?

[UDSOUDS]

sure - you just only need something that converts the trigger signals into midi, e.g. the clavia drum brain if you own it. also, there's something made by alesis which i forgot the name of, but it does exactly this... audio trigger its called or so... otherwise, i don't really know the vermona machine. maybe it even has some analog inputs you can directly use? just look up the specs.

[bryngOneOn]

i think in the 80's the scientif technical term 4 it would be...dope bitch

[emoboi86]

Jimmy Tamborello would be proud! =D

[kolakube123]

any chance of a kit list used to make this vid?

[shagghie]

mannikin schrittmacher

Vermona DRM1 mkII

Ebbe und Flut Dual Filter

Cheesy casio camera

[icloo]

wow this looks like what I dreamed of the other day. But I was thinking 16 main buttons in a row multiplied by the amount of built in sounds, so no more 'instrument select'. short horizontal volume fader, and 2 modulation pots for each row. and a lot of memory.

[snolan1990]

That would be nice but it would be the worlds largest and most expensive machine :P

[icloo]

it would actually only take up less the space of a monome 256. and it would cost less than a real 909.

;-)

[AMOKIAN]

UH NICE MACHINE!!!!! GEEEZZZ!!!!!!

[roccoiiooii]

aw i love ebbe und flut..

[H4NDCRAFTED]

Man, thats some money right there. I love my Vermona mrk3.that kick is so round.

I'm gonna shuv mine through my akai mfc and see if I can't blow my monitors again :eyesroll:

[mothi321]

i wanna become a music director . . how should i be prepared for tat . .pls help me ..

[H4NDCRAFTED]

You need nice hair and a smart coat..thats all.

Geeze if your asking you ain't never gonna be one.

[MasiFantasie]

there is nothing more to say^^

[feedphillipnow]

Get a degree and apply for jobs when they open up.

[persiansamm]

that the wrost kik ive haer notto be mean though its the kick that awful

[samikristian]

I think this setup would be great for minimal tekno/ house

[Adriansfubass]

dont know much about this but i think its fucking amazing i wish i had one

[N8Sound]

yea so got an extra Manikin Schrittmacher for a brother?

im diggin the setup ( My only problem with the DRM1 is the MIDI doesn't send CC data for controlling pitch pan ect...)

or am I wrong?

I am going the way of a TR909 for the built in sequencing and swing function ;)

[golafs]

what kind of drum machine is this?

[mantacoup]

is that a vermona drm module??

[ThaGamer5678]

I love 1:25!!!

[waspkid0000]

Amazing! im gonna call this the mating call of frogs just for 2:05 :D

[shagghie]

FROGS! that's It! I KNEW it sounded like something...i was thinking like, crickets on crack...but FROGS is the real answer..

THANK YOU!

Case settled!

[waspkid0000]

no problem.

[josh1728]

the possibilities are endless

[P11GT]

whats the name of this dc???

[shagghie]

if "DC" means 'Drum Controller'?, then you might be asking about the Manikin Schrittmacher sequencer.. an amazing, joyous piece of kit.

[P11GT]

thx =)

[tehlucker]

want to get one? learn to use it first :O

[NickAAylward]

mmmm, lotsa rotaries.....hands on goodness

[EliteMatt3289]

where did you buy this can u get me one please!!!!

[Chaseisco0l]

great job sounds great...

a better mic probley would get rid of some of the sceptics but i like it how much did it cost?

[titomoto]

porno sounds!!!!!!!!

[coppers22]

The quality may not be great but how can you say that sucks? That looks like a very good and expensive piece of equipment!

[T3n4c1ousD1]

Oh oh!!! OH!!! oh unce unce unce unce unce kinda feel like dancn' *rips off pants* PARTY BOI BITCH!!!

[crackage12567]

not bad.....dunno y u wud put this on utube tho

[SanDiego4me]

you watched it didn't you?? and did another other 44,000 people

[craig13oy]

hahaha sounds funny LOL

[jblair05]

that is gonna self destruct itself from suckyness

[shagghie]

ROFL...these are the best posts yet! made my whole night man... I'm doin' ROFLcopterz on the ceiling over here LMAO!

[deeraw78]

lmgdmfao!!!

[jblair05]

that shit is wwackkkkk make a drumnbass banger

[jblair05]

ok what the fuck give it up or give it to me

[FIaps]

LMAO you have absolutely no idea what you're doing.

[PonchoMcGraw]

you have no idea what you're saying. Be it to your taste or not the man is in control.

[shagghie]

I know what I'm doing...i'm checking ranges and the routing choices I've made on the back end through the ebbe...to see if i like the way the LFO is singing with the beats. You can't even hear the sub bass and kick on this mic, but it pulses perfectly with the LFO's release. We can agree the musical aspect is tiring, but the potential of this set up was immense. Since this proof of concept vid was taken, i got some really crazy minimal out of this setup...it was retarded and hyper polymorphic

[jriktor]

straight up house/electro synths.

i need to get this.

[bleachaddict93]

dang its a combo of multiple machines ... right

[snedie12]

Sort of, but they all require each other to produce sequenced and correct sounds

[beem1]

BEATS ARE MAD MAN.

I LIKE IT.

[bleachaddict93]

"beta testing proof of concept...not a performance, just sequence, filter, and knob twiddling. Sounds incredible in real life... need to find a better camera mic.. " HES NOT MAKING MUSIC STOP FLAMING HIM also how could i get one of these ?

[tictocfilms]

i want one!

[harvestarr]

nice. can you upload audio-record somewhere?

[86Alx86]

FTW?!?! LOL!

[manowar7308171]

This is possibley the worst video ive seen.buy a fuckin drumkit cocksucker

[PyroDBH]

It for Deejaying maybe you should shut the fuck up cause all of the god damn music you listen to would be where it is if it didnt have this. hes only showing the sounds and how it work. fukken retard

[1989DeeDubz]

u fool

[ahhhh987]

AHHH!

Vermona Drum synth

[catchthebre3ze]

how much money would i have to spend to get one of those sexy beasts? lol

im interested cause im into alot of electronic music and i have a project goin atm but its using fl studio programs and im just sick and tired of it

i want to do it more pro and it will be good for my music production course next year

[barreman18]

lol?

[shagghie]

so you are saying this video makes it so that you are not sure if you should laugh or not?

:)

[st0n3r]

meh.

drums for life

[shagghie]

best house soung EVER. :p

[Acimon]

Modern kids play music with winding pot meters. LOL :(

Get an instrument!

[Hieyz0r]

sad but true :<

[billheslop]

dickhead musician.........

[wesdrybone]

Fantastic i think those patterns you picked were quite good.And if your mic is bad and sounded like that i would love to here its real sound.

Thanks

[MetallicaTime]

jeez..how do u know what all of this stuff is???

[TomIsTehOwnageLolz]

never beat a real drummer....

[chainsawbutsfvck]

i don't think he's trying to

[xledhead666x]

wrong

[sagie1234]

i think this is good. nice clean synthesis. do i see a vermona in there. those are not cheap. i remember wanting those

[shagghie]

Yes, a Vermona DRM-1 mkII. the claps, hats, and snares are priceless out of that thing!

[sagie1234]

im guessing that lower unit is a sort of digital sequencer like the maq?

what is that unit above the vermona?

sounds very nice and analog liquidy..

cool modulations dude!

keep it up!

[shagghie]

lower unit is the Klaus SHultz signed schrittmacher...much nicer than the maq in many ways... crazy, 1/2048th resolution if you want.

upper unit is the venerable Ebbe und Flute, made by Carsten in Germany. dual analogue filters, compressor, brilliant LFO and more...

[shagghie]

[sagie1234]

oh wow you really know your gear

how long have you been playing?

that really is a sweet setup

[shagghie]

since before i was a human...

it's why humans don't like my beats.

[theFifth29]

Would think you'd be better by now, having had this for so long. But good stuff nonetheless.

[shagghie]

yeah, hey thanks. :)

I suppose i did pick the single worst beat/patterns to work with. I was more interested in the timbrality/modulations as you can tell by my ADHD knobbery.

I still have the shritty, but no longer the Ebbe... sadly. Divorced.

[kirra22]

oh yeah that beat was weak I don't know what it sounds like in your studio but these sounds though rythmic,to be nice,QUITE QUESTIONABLE damn mosquitos

[shagghie]

thanks for the compliment. It was a beta test of a concept, not a demo of beat making skillz...which is not a strong suite. This vid, in particular, is more about modulation, possibilities outside of what a normal 'drum machine' might provide. It doesn't mean it will move anyone's ass on the dancefloor any better than an MC-909. :)

[kirra22]

hey digitalcp01 I like old samplers too but do not underestimate the frooty loops I can't wait to save of some loose change for the most simplest full version of the program .with the things I've created w/ the demo ,I can't wait to purchase one of the full version

[FSK1138]

SICK !!!!!!!

[djmbone]

Fruity Loops as drum machine..hehe...are you mad? what about ejay software..hehe

[digitalcp01]

I like old school samplers, SP12 turbo, Emax for example but...everybody must admit there are loads of albums (hiphop ,drum & bass, breakbeat...) produced on fruityloops.

Fruityloops is not a toy at all, since it is open to VST and that some people mastered it.

(I just dont understand how people can use this interface, lol.)

[buffyguy10]

Why dont you just Use Fruity Loops like me..Its the best drum machine EVER..it has more than you can handle..more than what this does..and its cheaper..

haha...yeah..but its software.

[sobertuna]

yeah this is pretty crazy... i want a drum machine, but i dnt want to spend like $1,000 on one... not even like $300, wat do you think would be the best thing to get for cheap??

[shagghie]

get a tr-606

or MFB 50x

[sobertuna]

aight thanks

[H4NDCRAFTED]

I have the Vermona Mrk 3 machine. I had a faulty epromm and relaced it.

I love it spesh the kicks and the hats and the nice fm bells you get.

I still have a problem and wondered if you had this.

The psuedo reverb tails get modulated, I.e if I have a long verb tail on a clap the snare will modulate the tail some how...causing it to dip in volume etc, even when I pan them fully apart. Is this something you get ? It can't be phasing, I can't put my finger on it.

[shagghie]

I noticed this too... but this, imHo, is intentional... it's part of the 'compressed' sounding character of the DRM. Same kind of magic in the 909,808, etc...where parts affect other parts...in a 'bad is good' kind of way.

I just recently sold the DRM, so I can't test this for you in person to be positive, but i've often commented how 'alive' the DRM vibes..

[H4NDCRAFTED]

Yep, this is the line I have taken and now use the snare to mute reverb tails etc.

Great stuff btw.

I'm looking for a cheap analogue snare unit, can you recommend a drum machine that has good snares, other than the obvious rolands ?

[shagghie]

i was going to say the 606...lol.

I end up triggering drums in UltraBeat in logic using the 888's four midi sequencer tracks. It works like a champ. You can also just layer a stare with a sample from ultrabeat, but my favorites are using the noise synth in ultrabeat itself. I bet one of the MFB 5xx series, if they can be externally triggered, might work?

[FrozenExplosion]

nice gear whats it all called~?

[shagghie]

Schippmann ebbe und flute

Vermona DRM1-mkII

Mannikin Schrittmacher

I sold the first two...needed the cash. Got an 888 after, never looked back.

[XYtoTheDoubleG]

wow man

that's one sick drum machine

how much do one of those set you back?

really like the vid

[shagghie]

Shritty + DRM1 is the core... anything else is sugar.

[cinesedemmerda]

sounds a fuck -.-

[shagghie]

that's a new one.

[WARDISWARD]

that is what I call quality gear

[shagghie]

if i get a chance, I'll post a vid of the our newest creation... SAM-16, S1mkII, Ebbe...all racked together in a fold up Mixer case. Almost retarded it sounds so good.

[roccoiiooii]

ebbe und flut RUUUULESS!!

[yamazakikuro]

Can one HH channel on the vermona be used to trigger open and closed sounds? or do you have to use the channels separately, I was hoping I could have OHH and CHH, with a cymbal on the second channel.

[MindOvrMatr]

Nice! You make a much better demo than Vermona did. I am picking up my Drum1 Mk2 in a week or so. Pretty excited.

[shagghie]

The HH's and the Snare are on the DRM1 MK2 are truly truly incredible. You won't be dissappointed! Also, make sure to read up on the manual. The HH' each have TWO midi notes they respond to, so you can get a nice human feel to them....

[robotica808]

Cool, you have a lot of nice gear, any full tracks online? These demo's are cool though, but I'd love to hear what you can do with all the gear hooked up in a musical context, that'd be insane!

[accumulators]

hi there

i play with the sequentix p3 and the manikin schrittmacher at home

there are very different and the schrittmacher looks as a new instrument and not the P3's replacement...

the p3 groove very gooood....and have a lot amazing tips....

schrit's interface is very nice with large screen...

p3'S manuel have 150 pages, the schritt only 35(no program change,no mode song,no live recording,no arpeg...etc)

p3 for ever....

mo

[shagghie]

hey Mo...yes, all these are very good points. I'd say for what i use it for (like in the video) the Schrittmacher is proving to be 'perfect'. I don't need program change, live recording or arppeggios, and i don't need or want 'song mode', because I'm able to just cue up entire presets of 32 sequences each at will back and for The Schrittmacher's interface is better suited, too, for this percussive 'jamming' as I can drop parts in and out readily...

[VinnieRoyale]

Seems like everyone is jumping on the Schrittmacher... (sp)... is it as dope as everyone says? And also what exactly does the Ebbe and Flut do? It is worth the price tag?

[shagghie]

Shritty... by far my personal favorite sequencer. The P3's replacement will be worth a look, however.

So, fart man, I would go hear an E&F right away... this is the single best filter on planet earth...and there are two of them.

[museumoftechno]

I saw the Ebbe & Flut being demonstrated at NAMM. It was amazing. The combination of compression and analog filtering gives it a unique and fantastic sound.

[shagghie]

try running cwejman OSC''s thru it!

best sound I've ever heard, ever.

ever!

[museumoftechno]

EVER??? :)

[shagghie]

evvvvvvveeeerrrrrrr! ever even!

[museumoftechno]

That's quite an endorsement.

When we saw it at NAMM, the guy who designed it had an old Yamaha RX drum machine playing through it, and it came out as an insane breakbeat plus a squawking acid/bass line that burst through the gaps between the drum hits. I laughed out loud with delight, wanted to jump around. Because I'm an idiot I can't remember the guy's name... we spoke to him for about 20 mins, he was a little bit odd, but cool.

[shagghie]

haha carsten schippmann... I probably met u guys there bc namm is where I met carsten as well...and that rx-7 was butter coming out of the ebbe! the bypass verified that it sounded like ass without it too,,.

[909techno]

are all the sounds from the vermona?

[shagghie]

why yes, they are! I also have a JoMoZ JaZBase installed underneath for good measure, but I run that only off off of the S3 sequence. Now, having said that, in this video, there is a fair amount of Ebbe und Flut action going on, but the source sounds are all on the Vermona. Even the clap's 'echo' / 'reverb' is all straight from the Vermona. The JoMoX was not used at all for this video. I use the L/R Pan on the Vermon to be able to send each/any part to the E&F...
