MS-20 ESP Sequencer Simulation

Even without a sequencer it's possible to create sequencer-like patterns. Here the Kaoss Pad plays an audio loop which is processed by the MS-20 ESP and S&H for simulating a sequencer.

Basically the MS-20 plays a long boring sound. The ESP changes the sound based on the incoming audio. The vid shows some applications for the different ESP outputs. The S&H is very useful for simulating sequencer steps (clocked by the ESP trigger).

The Kaoss Pad could be replaced by almost any audio generating device. A beat is useful for creating triggers at regular intervals. Other sounds may be especially useful for creating a wider range of CV values. An audio loop is probably the best way to simulate a sequencer.

I like what you do

but i did not get the connection between the MS20 and the Kaoss?

do you mean by external audio , the "line in" from the kaoss?

thanks

@MamaillePhil The Kaoss pad just plays some samples. It can be replaced by any audio signal.

loved those really crunchy dark sounds at 4:21.

love that ms-20. too bad i sold mine. now they are literally double what i payed. the ms-20 is a testament that digital synths can never sound analog
