MBSEQ V3 Session 3

Just another session - What happens:
- 0:00 Chord Mode 2 with Force-to-Scale (played by a MicroQ)
- 0:13 Solo off, tracks are playing additional Drums and Bass. Both are provided by Reaktor, the drums from an modificated "Massive Environment", which can listen to MIDI, and the bass from the Tritium synth, made by Stephan V. (find it in the User Library)
- 0:20 Internal loopback, track 1 feeds the Transposer, which is normaly played by an external keyboard. It feeds the base note of the "Force-to-Scale" function as well.
- 0:28 Switching between different patterns during live playing
- 0:39 MIDIbox SID plays an additional synth line
- 0:48 Track Direction Progression Parameter (at the end: 5 forward, 3 back)
- 1:02 MIDIbox SID solo
- 1:13 Snare is added (wasn't planned, but at the end I think it was ok). Selected steps of the snare are triggered randomly
- 1:23 Internal loopback from a second line, where 16 given base notes + octave transposes are selected randomly
- 1:32 Some of the MIDIbox SID steps get a glide
- 1:46 Step by step some tracks are added again (mutes deactived)
- 2:06 Bass goes solo
- 2:15 Some notes are added to the bass line - thanks to force-to-scale (the "Dim Whole" scale is selected here), it always matches, regardless in which direction the encoders are tweaked
- 2:44 MIDIbox SID, later the bass and the tranposer line are going solo
- 3:01 solo gets deactivated, all unmuted tracks can be heart
- 3:09 thats all :)

Look, i've downloaded mp3 version of this track from your site and i have a question. I like the sound of the track very much. It sounds very fat and agressive. Can you tell me how did you record it? What is your soundcard? Which mixer did you use? Any maximizers/anything else? Recorder? Thanx in advance.

I've different methods for recording songs - in this demo the setup was very primitive: I created a reaktor environment which contained the virtual synths, and the Fx (compressor/delay) for MBSID. I haven't added Fx to the MicroQ.

Recording: on the fly inside Reaktor (all together, so no seperate tracks - I didn't find it necessary)

Soundcard: RME HDSP Multiface

No mastering

Gotta love oldschool sounds. And especially drums

[registri]

This is really really really GREAT tune! You have my admiration

Fabulous stuff, thanks for sharing. Had I not gone down the P3 route, MIDIBox would have been my sequencer of choice.

Love 'n' peace

Some interesting stuff here...So you pre-program the equipment and twiddle with the knobs a bit and make some sounds BUT where's the musicianship...Something like a melody that you can sing or at least recognize?...WHAT exactly are you playing here?
