korg emx drummachine + virus C

[cephalusX]

Do you simply trigger the virus via midi/out from Korg? Have Korg e-sx1 and virus B(next time)....Thx for Answer.....greetz

[EraseR72]

Korg Virus and EMX... which models? Nice industrial sound bro!

[azombiestool]

Midi OUT of the korg, to midi in of Access, then out of access into interface?

[TheJidder]

try the emx with a sampler ..... that works also !!

[redknupon]

comment vous reliez vos 2 machine ?? vous utilisé la fonction audio in de l'emx ??? moi je vais avoir un virus A , et j'aimeré controllé mes partie synthé du virus a avec mon emx comment fair ?? sa a quelque chose avoir avec les canal midi ?? merci

[FrenchClub1]

good demo , nice virus sound

[coylesolid]

Niiiice this is evil. Drumbeat is crisp and simple the way I like, and that warble bass is hypnotizing. I think you could almost scrap the melody from 1:30 to 4:00 and go straight to the one you introduce at 4:10, it's nice. 5:30 arp is all over the place, it's madness :)

[joselchino]

very nice..

[audioboy9]

Does the virus have a vocoder?

Right around 4:20 you started some knobtiddlin' improv. I love a producer actually interacting with their music (unlike some "pop" stuff).

Although i would have to recommend that the speed and feedback ratio of some kind of flange effect. I suppose I am recommending more of a psytrance skwelch, or something liquid.

Nonetheless, nice track!

[alienorbiter]

John Carpenter would be proud !

[Gavandal]

hello fellow machine lover ! loving the moody rock like stomp on this. I have an esx and nord vid on my vids if you want a look

[Enphion]

How exactly does that work? I have a emx and i want somthing like a virus to go whit it. You let the 5 synth part play stuff like you normally do on the emx and the virus then also recieves the notes to play via midi?

[sph9000]

Correct. You make the Virus play the Emx tracks via midi, then you mute them keeping the volume down or like I did, select the waveform to external source-in (which obviously is disconnected). You don't want to use the actual part mute/solo buttons because they trigger midi, not audio, and you need them to play the Virus.

[Enphion]

Ah great. Thanks for your reply. I am actually receiving a Virus C this afternoon. I cant wait to mess whit it.

[Knr911]

@sph9000 I have a question please. I'm actually hestating to trade my Roland MC-307, mainly used for seqencing purposes for an EMX. I need to sequence a Waldorf with it. I know that on the EMX, the synth parts are mono.

BUT can you sequence via MIDI polyphonic patterns from the synth you are piloting, since you're using te polyphonic sound generator of the synth, not the EMX ? Are you able to use the polyphony of your virus in the setup of this video?

[hazzamosh2000]

i've got a emx-1 but i suck at it can i get lessons or summart for it

[owlwink]

practice practice practice

[gelform]

keep it up man!

Cheers Dubb

[joshandtheaddiction]

Can you just plug a keboard into the virus c and play from that ?

[MisfioPeton]

hey how much does it cost the emx

[janppachan]

I assume the drums are not from EMX?

[letsnotgettosilly]

m8 read the description

[bobafett2010]

great

[dachhh]

how do the emx and virus get along together? I am very curious about changing patterns and program/bank select messages. Can you get the virus presets to change along with the emx? On my emx (squencing vsts) when I turn the wheel to select a new pattern, the stupid machine sends program change messages immediately, and NOT when the pattern actually starts (at the end of the bar). Have you managed to work around this?

[cyganmarek]

i've got this same problem, will any one answer on our question? thank you

[persona555]

great fat sounds, awesome video

[juanmafresno]

Guapo ; )

[djminervaITA]

SEMPLICEMENTE STUPENDO!!!!!

[tempotku]

YOYOYOYO!!!

BIG UP

[blexxy]

i like the equip, got a emx myself but i'm sure the virus is the much better option for the synth.

but it's just like that: this sound doesn't hit my taste

cheers

[nexus2xl]

Put all that through ditortion and you'll sound like NIN.

4:11 is bitchen

[Arceopteryx]

Man thats cool.. I have considered buying that exact same layout..

[statusd]

yeah virus ! luv<3

[ROSSGEIM]

I suoni giusti per il suicidio su le rotaie....GRANDEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!­!!!!

[JanSoisalo]

I have the virus c and the electribe sx sampler

[JanSoisalo]

Hi...could I have your email to send you a couple of questions about the set-up?

Cheers

[sph9000]

You could write me a message with utube.

[JanSoisalo]

how do you set up your virus and drum machine?

midi I mean...drum machine out to virus thru or what?

then what is done on the sequencer...I use logic for example...do I have to sync the drum machine with midi clock?

[sph9000]

I connected the midi out of the EMX to the midi in of the Virus. This way everything you play on the EMX will play on the Virus as well. 1-5 parts will play 1-5 Virus channels and rhythm part will play the 16th channel. Then I muted the osc of my EMX synth parts leaving only the drum part audible, and in the Virus I muted the 16th channel. The EMX sequencer is playing everything, the only thing is that the synth parts sounds in there are replaced with the Virus. That's it! Hope I was clear :-)

[sph9000]

If you are using a drummachine with Logic you will have to set the drummachine clock to EXT in order to use it as a slave sequencer synched to Logic. Anyway I didn't use any sync in this video, because there's only one sequencer there. The only job MIDI is doing there is note sending.

[ruczajDJ]

"Then I muted the osc of my EMX synth parts leaving only the drum part audible, and in the Virus I muted the 16th channel."

Hello, I've the same setup. How did You mute synth parts without cutting off midi notes?

[sph9000]

Just turn the volume down, or use it in the audio in mode. Cheers.

[lilfoodstamp233]

teh Virus sound that comes in at 4:11 is bawlin

[adamilre]

tu non stai bene vecchio..

[youknowwhoyouare8]

i wanna burn youyr virus to the ground

and watch it scream

[cus146]

muy bueno si señor.

[XYtoTheDoubleG]

so is it like your playing 16 different tracks in the same key?

or can you program different tracks to have different rhythms?

I dont know if all this information really even matters.

I just bought the new ableton which happens to have unlimited tracks of audio.

I think that might beat my Virus

haha

You an ableton user?

[sph9000]

Each of the 16 tracks is an independent polyphonic synth. Example: now you could create 16 midi tracks in Ableton and send each to one of the 16 Virus channels. Now you'll set a different sound for each track, like a bass drum on the first, a snare on the second, and so on, including basses, pads, leads... You've got now a powerful groovebox for electronic music under your hands, instead of those VSTs or internal Ableton sound generators, but it's your choice...

[XYtoTheDoubleG]

Is it hard to run things through the Virus C?

I haven't done it yet

have you tried the vocoder?

[sph9000]

No, at all. I use multi mode, and often set a channel to audio in. Filters and delay/reverb are so good. As for the vocoder, I didn't play with it a lot, but it sounds ok to me.

[XYtoTheDoubleG]

Yeah

I've heard the vocoder's not all that great

I really haven't used multi mode

what advantages does this mode bring?

[sph9000]

In multi mode you get 16 tracks playable simultaneously.

[XYtoTheDoubleG]

so... you can have 16 different sounds going at the same time?

is this what you're telling me?

[sph9000]

Yeah, 16 polyphonic tracks. Isn't it good? You could write on your sequencer your songs and use the only Virus as the sound source: rhythm sounds as well as basses and other melodic textures. Everyone realtime editable. Think about morphing your kick into a melody. Virus rules:-) It's live sound! It's hardware!

[UberSynth]

The vocoder on the KC is great..

[sladehealy]

wicked bassline

[inducejack]

Sick Jack!!!!

[LucidQuest]

weird noise junkie. love it :)

[chakktheripper]

got a question though .. how did you cable the emx with the virus ?? i have a esx and ordered a virus .. so i'm quite curious :o)

[sph9000]

Sequence the virus with an esx is simple: esx midi out to virus midi in. Then you only have to make sure the esx sends midi only to channels you want to play on the virus, 1 and 2 in your case. I usually turn all the other channels to 16 and 16th virus track is mute. Chuss!

[chakktheripper]

thx for the information .. and i got another one then .. didn't you plug the audio out from the esx to the audio in of the virus to use it possibly for effects ?? plus: how did you combine the sounds of the 2 devices ?? with a external mixer ??

[sph9000]

You can either plug your ESX into the Virus as well as the Virus into the ESX. I usually run the Virus thru the audio in of the EMX because I consider it as a sound source, so it's easy for me to make mixes directly on the Electribe (mute, filters, fxs). Don't forget you can also make realtime slices!!

[chakktheripper]

thx .. this helped a lot .. ;o)

[chakktheripper]

thx .. this helped a lot .. ;o)

[eljuanlux]

wotta bass man, cool ;)

[youknowwhoyouare8]

i love this video

but you should make the bass drum dirty sounding and add some hiss.

that would top it for me.

[AlchemistShaman]

I 2nd that

[suino28]

you good i like it...i have the same setup, but i'm crap....

[caseybmxer]

hahah sick

[siedgey]

Very nice mate! I love the evil sound of the Virus. I just got a Classic to add to my live setup, looking forward to getting some more tunes online using it. :)

[HoweGavin]

was that bauhaus I saw at the beginning?

[sph9000]

of course yes) thanx for realizing)

[carlitokar]

VERY GOOD TUNE.YEAH

[KEYSONGS]

cool jam

[oberheini]

nee ehrlich, ich finds schön!

vielleicht ein bischen langsam das lied, aber echt geile sounds! 5 stars!

[biskorg]

woaw, Virus is really cool

[atishmeh]

sick sounds

[Cradle999]

Wicked! Love it!
