This was useless. You had 2 wav forms in there (I bet it has at least 1 more). Next time kill the beat with the horrible off beat claps and maybe tell us a lil about the names of the sounds and what you are doing to it. Then you wouldnt have to explain that you didnt use any effects afterwards. Calling this a technical demonstration is a huge overstatement.

@SimonSayzMusic Well, that was your opinion but this is 2 musics into one because I made this originally as a simple music soon after i bought my microKORG , and i thought that the second part was really good but it didn't work very well when i tried to separate both beats, so i decided to still put the video with the two parts of the original music. If you can do better, make a video as a response to it.

@spontaneous09 Look up Welsh's synthesizer cookbook. Also, to get fat bass sounds, you need more than one oscillator and they need to be very slightly detuned. The key to those fat "rez bass" sounds as they are called is using a LP filter, then play with the "filter eg intensity" (filter envelope generator intensity), with the filter cutoff, the resonance (the "rez" in "rez bass"), as well as with filter envelope (filter eg menu) attack, decay, sustain, and release. Hope that helps.

@spontaneous09 It can, i assure you , without any kind of FX or other modulators.

@opedroefeio woah! idk if it can go as far as the minimoog....maybe with an Culture Vulture but even then...nothin ever gets close to the real phatness of a moog sound....still would like to know how to get it to sound maybe more like a ms 2000 since its the same engine or even like a ms 20

@spontaneous09 I assure you that my microkorg does not have any modifications of any sort and still it is able to create sound that are very reminishing of the mythic minimoog

@opedroefeio i have messed with it actually and got some rad sounds but not ass thick or full as i wanted....the built in distortion aint cuttin it...

[opedroefeio]

@spontaneous09 If you mess around with the pre-saved specs its easy to get this kind of sounds. I recorded this aproximately 8 months ago and nowadays i can sounds much more «analog» than ever before. No , those MK's are not mine, i just found those images cool in the web and found them suitable for the whole microkorg and analog synth theme..

[spontaneous09]

nice sounds man...the claps are a lil weird but anyways...i like the little riff in the beginning...sounds really phat which is surprising from an mk....was wondering how you managed that.....also...is that ur modified mk? nice! and love the juno below it!
