Korg DS-10 Argumentation

Have you ever heard a rock/punk song performed by a machine? Or did you ever think it was possible, to get the acoustic drums to sound good enough on a synth? No? Then you'll be even more amased in this video.

As the Korg DS-10 is a synth, it produces sounds based on calculations. I got it to make rock like sounds. I admit, it is not real rock, but its as close as I can get to it. I knew it was possible to get this, so I did. One of the things I experimented with was to get a longer song than usual. I done this by using an extreme low tempo of 40 BPM. Yes, 40! Normally a song is around 120 or the slower ones around 80-90. I chose for 40 so I get double as much notes as 80, and thus a song that is twice as long. But 40 bpm really sounds slow. Considered that there are 60 seconds in a minute, a beat takes longer than one second on 40 bpm. To compensate for this, I've put in a max swing of 75. In the video I tried to show this, but the camera wasn't working with me. Stupid thing! To make it sound even more fast, I also added an echo which makes you forget that its only 40 bpm.

I hope you enjoy this song as much as I've enjoyed making it, not to mention that I still love to listen to this one over and over again!

Where do u get that game

[LPChip]

@YangClawWolf1 You can buy the Korg DS-10 at most stores. The plus version can only be imported from the USA or Japan, but this isn't the plus version.

Incredible LPChip! I wonder if your songs are for sale?

I wasn't talking about youtube; I found your work through a Dutch forum. Perhaps you could post some pics there?

I still think it's really weird that there aren't any forums for certain settings.

[LPChip]

I'm sorry, but I'm not gonna do that. Youtube doesn't allow me to easilly add pictures, and I'm not going to replace or add a movie that has the images in it. Sometimes the mysteries should remain to force yourself into learning it even more.

Just to not give it up entirelly, if you use the 2nd pitch bar and set it so that its about halfway through the octave (primary=C, secondary = G) you'll get this rough rock like sound. Also, do add drive!

Thanks. :)

Would you consider posting pictures of the settings you use for certain instruments? I get sick of having to fiddle around with the settings to make something not quite like I wanted it.

I can't seem to find any site that provides some decent info on how to make certain instruments. It's mainly just fiddling around.
