 It's Anfa and you're watching a random live stream. And I've spent the last 13 minutes talking to myself because I thought I was streaming and I wasn't. All right. Yeah, I guess that's my health current situation. Kicking in. So I'm sick and I've planned to make a regular monthly live stream today, but I wasn't able to do that. And first I thought I'm not going to be able to do it for one reason, turned out that reason wasn't even a concern because some bigger reason happened that also made it impossible for me to make this monthly live stream today. And the reason is I'm sick and I don't feel very well. So I thought I'm going to try and make a live stream today, but I don't have high expectations for it. And it's not a regular monthly live stream. I'm not going to like try to adhere to the formula or do anything fancy because I just, I don't feel very well. So I need to keep it low. Yeah, but welcome. I wanted to try out making a live performance based on loops. I wanted to use Giada. Let me show you what Giada is. This is Giada, this program here. It's an open source multi-platform live looper which supports MIDI and audio loops. And I have been looking at it before, but I haven't used it before in larger extent. And I thought let's just dive in and try and make a live music performance with it. Just like a live act, design a live act or something. Yeah, and this is it. I can't say how long this stream is going to take. It may be three hours or maybe 30 minutes because I may just feel very bad in a while and I'll need to go and lay down. So please don't have high expectations and just let's have some relaxed fun. Hopefully maybe make something cool and learn something about live loopers, open source live loopers. Okay, so I'm gonna run you down from what I've done so far because I've been like, I thought I've been streaming for 15 minutes. I haven't been, I just want stalking to myself. It turned out. So I've run Giada, which is the sequencer. I'm gonna use it to play and pause different MIDI sequences. And I've also started Carla Patch Bay. Carla Patch Bay is a version of Carla that, oh, where is it? Come here, Patch Bay, show yourself. Oh, there it is. So Carla Patch Bay is, actually I don't need this at all. Carla Patch Bay is a version of Carla that exposes a single unit to the outside world. So in Jack server, this is the Carla Patch Bay thing. Oh, wait, which one is it then? Oh, I don't know, is this, wait, what? No, that's a different one. Okay, no, no, this is a different one. Okay, okay, okay. This, yeah, this one here is what the Jack server sees. Just a single client, two audio inputs, one MIDI inputs or events input and two audio outputs and one MIDI output. And inside of that single thing, I have a Patch Bay that I can fill up with plugins and play with them. So what I want to do is, oh, one thing I forgot to do. So I have Giada, Giada is going to send MIDI data to this Carla Patch Bay. And also Giada needs my keyboard, my MIDI keyboard to send its MIDI to that. But I also need the keyboard to send, what the hell, why? The signal is directly to, okay, what's going on? Directly to the Carla Patch Bay as well because I want to be using the MIDI CCs to control the plugins live. So the loops are playing, but I'm going to be modulating the effects and making the sounds evolve and all that fun stuff. Sweeping the filters and the like. Hopefully, let's see how much fuel I got in me. By the way, can you hear me? Can you see me all right? Are you guys there? I'm not sure because YouTube says there's zero concurrent viewers, but I think on the graph it says there's 24. 24? Okay. Oh yeah. Yeah, I'm not showing my face because I didn't shave in a while and I don't look very good, also I'm sick. And also I wanted to have you see the keyboard because I don't have a second camera. I could use my phone, but that's going to introduce a lot of latency and I'm going to touch the keyboard after you hear the sound change. So that's going to be, no, not good. And the facecam is not really needed for what I wanted to do today. So I'm going to be a little talky handy. I'm going to be using a lot of expression with my hands to like imitate my face so you can see what I'm talking to. Really, this is not like recorded tape. I'm really here. Yee. All right, so I have my keyboard connected to Carla Patch Bay. Giada connected, keyboard connected to Giada and Giada connected to Carla Patch Bay. So I'm ready to also, I have the Carla Patch Bay connected to, oh yeah, maybe to my system output so I can hear what I'm doing. It would be nice wouldn't it? Oh, Giada also has audio outputs because it can play audio loops but I don't want to use that functionality. I want to only use MIDI functionality of Giada. And I've checked out its piano roll editor or MIDI sequence editor. It's not great but I think it'll do the job. Okay, so here is our empty canvas. Also what I've done is I've just upgraded Gion Kick to a version 2.5. Maybe you've heard that Gion Kick suddenly a few days ago suddenly was announced as no longer developed or maintained. However, the creator has taken that back after a reaction from the community. And I'm not sure if he also released some changes after that like updated this synthesizer. I don't know, like to me it was really sad news because Gion Kick is just, it's the best drum synthesizer we have and seeing it being like for, like I understand that anybody can just abandon a project at any time because, you know, nobody has any obligation to maintain a project especially if they don't earn any money from it. But I, from what Gion Kick's author wrote I got the impression that he thinks that the tool is not useful for musicians or it's not valuable and he thought it's just a toy and not a real tool and I strongly disagree. Gion Kick is a real tool and I'm doing work with Gion Kick and I've been doing client work with Gion Kick and it saves me so much time and so much fine tuning because it's designed to do one thing and that is drum synthesis. And of course I can use ZanatsubFX for that to get similar results but ZanatsubFX is never going to evaluate the envelopes as precisely because it has to make sacrifices to be able to support a lot of voices and performance. Gion Kick can synthesize or regenerate the sample in the background and can evaluate the envelopes with single sample precision and that's very important for drums because that gives you snappy envelopes and that gives you just this clean sound. Something that is closest to analog that that's the good side of analog sound. The bad side of analog sound is noisy, distorted, unreliable, doesn't hold tuning, et cetera. The good side is smooth as frick because there's no stair-stepping, no quantization, nothing like that. Yeah, I see you guys also sharing words of support for Gion Kick. I really hope Gion Kick is not gonna die because that would be a real shame and I do understand there's some technical concerns for example that it's maybe not efficient with memory but I don't give a crap. It gets the job done and if I have to sacrifice a bit more memory, I'm willing to do it. Really, it does the thing so good. I don't care if it eats like 50 megs of RAM. I can handle that. I have 32 gigs. Yeah, of course I'm a little bit exaggerating if I'm sure it's not gonna eat 50 gigs of RAM. Also I would probably notice. But really, most times I don't need more than one instance for a project but it gets the job done so well. And I don't even need velocity layers or that kind of deal like, sure it's gonna be cool but the best thing is that I can super precisely tweak my sounds and they are synthesized but they are also very high quality and I have immediate feedback. Sure, I could like slave over a bunch of samples and export them and make an SFZ file and use that but where's the fun in that? I don't have time for this crap. I wanna slap some sounds together, tweak it to make it perfect and voila and GeonKick does that and that's great and then I polish the sound a bit and it's production ready. I could use different tools but I don't want to. GeonKick is a tool, it's not a toy. Sorry about that. I just, yeah, I really don't want to hear GeonKick as not a tool, especially from its creator's mouth. So Yuri, if you're listening, man, your synthesizer is an important tool and yeah, if you need to abandon it, I totally understand it. Maybe you need to focus on other things in your life. I totally get it. But don't you say it's not a tool or it's not useful to musicians. That is straight out not true. All right, let's get back to making music then. So I updated GeonKick. Let's load it up. It's version 2.5 and what it has is it has a 16 outputs. Serial ones, let's, okay, let's first maybe add a MIDI splitter. Synthod, Synthpod, MIDI split. Yeah, could be this. Which one should I go? Carla, let's go with Carl. Oh, Carla's patch mode cannot work with plugins that have multiple MIDI ports. Sorry. Oh, what? Oh, that's gonna be a problem. No, that's key split. That's not gonna save me. Oh, that's gonna be an issue. Synthpod, MIDI splitter too. Oh, wait. Ooh. I'm gonna have to use a channel, a bunch of channel filters. Channelize, what is this then? Channelize, channel. Okay, okay, so just gonna select the MIDI channel and, okay, that's gonna do it. Great, we have it. Audio input, I'm not gonna use that. Audio output, I will. Ha. Okay, so MIDI input, I'm gonna send it to channelize and I'm gonna also save this thing. Maybe let me find a good place for that. I'm alive, 20, 11, 0, 8. Okay, and our random life. This is not the actual proper life. Okay, Karla, save it. And B-Music says, Anfa is alive, surprise, surprise. Welcome B-Music. Oh, I totally need to use your plugins. That's gonna be great. They are very well suited for this kind of stuff, what I wanna do, I think. So, now I can use one of the MIDI channels and actually I do want to use MIDI channel one. I know the general MIDI is like, it's just silly, I don't get it. Why MIDI channel 10 is drums? All right, let's maybe use MIDI channel 10. Okay, let's comply their convention. Now, I would really could use a mixer in here. I don't know if there is a plugin that could do it as a mixer. Matrix mixer eight times eight. AMS mixer eight channels. Stereo, actually I don't need stereo because this is AMS mixer eight channels. Oh, okay, that'll do. All right, so this is gonna be kick, snare, hi-hat, stuff. Yeah, that should do. Okay, so that could be like the drums. I'm gonna maybe start renaming these. And this is risky because I had Carla crashing when I renamed channels. Actually, I think I'm gonna try and tweak the camera view a little bit. To maybe get a better shot. Yeah, I'm using a little bit too much space. Like this is a little bit better. And give me a second. Alrighty. Okay, like that. Yeah, okay. So it doesn't take too much space. Atacaman says how. What do you mean? All right, so we have this AMS mixer eight channels. That's gonna be our drum mixer. Let's rename it drums. I wonder if I can use square brackets to like mark what like is this for. I'm a little bit afraid that it's gonna be like treated as an abnormal name and crash Carla or whatever. Let's try it. I don't know. All right, it did go through. All right. Let's rename this to drums. We're getting somewhere. We're creating buffer 512. God, I wish that wasn't that were me. It says Arthur Olivia Ray's. That's, that's like a semi safe buffer. Like, yeah. I may need to jump it up. Move it up to 1024 or 2048 if things go bad. Hopefully they won't. But we'll see. Alrighty. Okay, so we have drums named. Oh, by the way, by the way, there is, I believe there is a new setting for the sweet canvas size. The canvas size is now huge. Also, I think the side panel has a mini map and I'm gonna need that. Yeah, let's keep the mini map. Maybe I'll move this. Oh, you know what? I'm gonna move this here, the key display. Okay, 95 BPM. Why is that here? I didn't, didn't set that. Oh, what did it get? Oh, now it's 120. I don't know. I don't know why. Excuse me. Radio Jim says, I'm at work so I can't chat log, but I just wanted to say thank you for all your content, Anfa. I mostly used ACID and Reason, but I'm trying to go FOSS and you've helped so much. Oh, wow, that's so nice. Thank you. I'm really glad to read that. Thanks. I hope you can still enjoy the stream and my little chatter. I hope I'm not gonna distract you at your work. But if your work involves a lot of waiting or it's like you're doing some stuff that doesn't require your full attention, some work requires you, some work requires distraction actually and then you're more effective. All right, so we have a lot of space on the canvas right now. You see, this is all our land. This is no man's land. We can populate this with our musical vision. So I think we should start by getting a kick drum going. And we'll do that by opening this lovely jump kick interface. Oh my goodness, it's so gorgeous. It looks better. It's, whoa, my goodness. We've got new buttons here. Ah, we've got a mixer interface here. And you can mute and solo. Ah, and we can preview. Ah, yeah. Did you hear that? I, yeah, you did hear that. That was a sine wave. My goodness. When did, when did he did this? Like this looks so much more sleek. And, oh, and we have these switches here. And it's, I like it. Samples, oh, we have a, hey, nice. Ah, there's a kit I made. Wait, maybe I've got to use it. Kit, alpha tutorial. Oh, wow. Let's see, controls. Ah, this is controls. Okay. Holy snap. Yeah, wait, that's a huge kick. I must say, that's a nice side to wait. I forgot making it. Actually, why not use that? Yeah, let's use it. Maybe I'm going to just change it a little bit. I want to make it shorter. So oscillator one, oscillator one, two, oscillator two. Ah, so this is enabling it? Okay. It's changed a little bit, but I like the new look. And I liked that it's, wait, maybe it's scalable now. Oh, no, it's not. Oh, it doesn't like being scaled. All right, never mind. It's not a big deal. Now I'm obscuring part of the interface. You know what? I'm going to shrink my little keyboard even more because it's really not that important, actually not important at all. I don't want to obstruct the interesting stuff. The music says, it looks like you really like big projects today. Oh, it looks like a really big project today, Anfa. It's not a project yet, it's an attempt. Oh, here we can play the sound too, nice. And the export options, okay, nothing changed here. I can change the seed with this. Alrighty, can I change the name here? No, I think I need to type in the kit. All right, so A4 is the note for the kick, the drum. So we need to get our, you know what, I'm going to maybe also turn down everything a bit and see if this actually affects it. Yeah, it's all quiet, more quiet. That's good, that's good. I don't want to like, blow my eardrums. Now let's go to Giada. So here is Giada, and I actually have to move this because Giada uses this part of the stuff. And what we have is we have columns. And we have columns, we can add channels to columns. I've just added a MIDI channel. And now I can right click or click in and do set up MIDI output. And I can, it's enabled on channel one. I'm gonna select channel 10, so this is drums. And close. Now I'm going to click and go edit actions. And this is a piano roll editor. Now we need to find the right note. Now the mouse wheel is only zooming in and out vertically. See page up, page down. Okay, page up, page down. A4. There it is. And this is our grid size, I believe. It is, it has a velocity lollipop editor, which is nice, but the zooming is very perplexing. I believe if you select this button, it's gonna snap to grid. I'm gonna maybe make it four. Now what is the whole bar? I don't know. What is the length of this? Oh, I think this is the whole bar, is it? Maybe this is the subdivisions of the quarter notes. I don't know, maybe it's just, maybe it's four bars long. No idea, we have to play it to see. Okay, so it's activated, but our whole Giada transport is stopped right now. That's why we don't hear anything. Now if I press this thingy, ha ha, we've got our kick going. Yes. Now if I click on this play button, it waits for the sequence to end, and then it stops it. That's because our playing and stopping of channels is synced to the tempo. That's, or the bars. There's a bunch of settings, but I wish there was a bit more like tooltaps in this program, honestly, because it's a bit cryptic. Now I've noticed that notes off actually like do get sent, which is great, because we do need notes off, note offs. So now our kicks are going to be longer. So I don't really want them to be this long. I want them to be a bit shorter, but I'm going to change this and also we can mute it for now. Ha ha, and also we have volume. Oh, funny, it cues the last note. Controls, if you can just scale the length down, let's see what that does. Oh, that doesn't sound good. Amp-tu-da, that sounds funny. Where do I change my... I don't know where do I specify? Oh, okay, so I click on the buttons to select what I want to do. All right, okay. Change the pitch and envelope a little bit and maybe back off the distortion. Oh, wait, does this... Ah, okay, this changes it. A lifeline says, wow, that's deep. I hope it's not too much. Also, is it just me or I feel like it's a little bit floaty? All right, we can have another note. Oh, I deleted one kick. Also, I think we don't need these notes to be so long now. So that's our basic kick pattern. Let's call it, let's call it kick 01, maybe, and we can give it a key to trigger it. So if I click on it and go, set up keyboard input, I can say, choose a key of Q on my quarter keyboard. And now if I close and I press Q, it's gonna get triggered. This way, when I have more of them, I can very quickly select what I want to be turned on and turned off or toggled in the next bar. Oh, now I see where the tempo comes from. Jada uses 95 by default. What is this, by the way? I have a high head pattern in my mind but I don't know how to, oh dear, I can't delete this, oh well, did it freeze? Ah, no, no, it just asks me, it just showed it. Yep, clone this. I don't like that it spawns the dialogues on my second screen. Let's change the key to W. I guess I don't have yet a convention. How do I release myself from greed? Pizza-loving nerd, Anfa, what is your opinion on nine-inch nails? I never became a huge fan. I've had a time when I listened to some of Trent's work and I also was, I'm also very impressed by the remix community that he's created around his band. I think that's really great. He's publishing stamps and making competitions for people to just remix his songs. That's really good. I'm just swinging. Also, maybe there's some other high heads. High heads, give me high heads. Give me high, give me hats. What the hell, there's no more in this drum set? Kind of not believe it. Maybe I should record this because I might not be able to sequence it in this piano roll later because it's not perfect. Am I feeding MIDI to Giada also or just from me Giada? No, I'm feeding MIDI into Giada. So I should be able to record MIDI in it. Okay, now I'm manually like playing notes. Maybe I can find something on, no. No, I can't play this. Oh my goodness, it's gonna take me forever to figure out, forever to figure out. Hey, why is it in this plane? Oh, what the? Wait, are these linked? I just, channel 10, is clone? Does clone mean I'm gonna, like the data is linked? What is going on? Hey, that's weird. Pete Sullivan Nerd says, I was just wondering if you were a fan because I can see some resemblance between some of the songs in the Nine Inch Nails hesitation marks and eternal message. That might be purely coincidental. So I have listened to Nine Inch Nails before making that album. So it could be a sub, it could be a sub-conscious thing on my end. Hey, what's going on? Is cloning a sequence actually making it linked? That's not what I wanted. I'm gonna, I'm gonna try and redo this. Okay, I think I know where to start with this rhythm. Maybe I can record in like overdub. I don't know how to record in this. Okay, I've recorded something. Not pretty, but it's recorded. All right, if I were a very good controlist, I could just play my thing my way around on this thing and have a groove going in no time, but I'm not used to that core kind of workflow. Okay, I mean to take it slowly, but I think it snapped my performance to grid as I'm not playing this, well, can I overdub? What does these two do? I don't know. Okay, I think I'm not gonna be able to create what I have in my mind, but I may be able to create something interesting overall. Yeah, and maybe we should go for that. Let's create another one. Call it snares, maybe? Snares, everyone, and give it a key of E. I'm thinking I could, I don't know, I'm not really sure what I'm doing. I'm just playing with this and experimenting. Midi output, channel 10, please. Okay, what else can we do? All right, let's record this thing, at least try. Alrighty, something's going on. Oh, I know, I know what's going on. There's more sounds in this Geon Kick preset. I just didn't root them to the mixer. Yes, that's why I didn't hear anything. See, there's much more sounds. I just didn't root them all, because I thought, well, when I'm gonna synthesize all that, ah, that's the reason I don't have all the sounds in my palette. I'm using the left channels only. I get some TR-909 vibes from these drums. I don't know why. I think I'm gonna try and make something with this. Ah, hum. Let's maybe mute these two. Oh wait, does W, okay, okay, didn't work. Ki bi daba jib bi du bhi. Shaba di ba di ba du ba juki. Snare zero two, maybe. Snare channel 10. Channel, chat, chat, channel 10. Chat, chat, chat, channel 10. All right, let's play more. So I'm gonna hit W and E. This is industrial. Oh, we don't have a key assigned to this. Keyboard input, what's gonna be D, because it's the same group as snares. Now by pressing different keys, we can make combinations. Okay, I'm really bad at this so far, but I think I'll improve. Let's hope at least. I think we need some synthesizer going on, some melodic stuff. I think the second column should do it and maybe just make a base for channel one. Call it base, I want to do yet. I'm gonna try maybe record things, more than sequence them. That might do better. Also, I think I need more channels in my mixer. So I'm gonna insert another one and call it drums and two. Yep, nine. I'm also going to turn this down to four and 40. Yep, I remembered that correctly. Actually, why do I need this thing? I have a mixer inside of Geon Kick. What the hell am I doing? Ah, I'm silly. Just like, what the hell? Ah. Lifeline says, I need to sleep. Good luck, Anfa, please take care. Will do, thanks and have a good night. Pizza loving nerd says, I'm ashamed. I do all my music production in FL Studio Mobile. I'm disgraced to Linux community. Don't say that. Use, try to encourage yourself with positive things. Maybe like, think, hey, maybe I can up my game and liberate myself from image lines stuff. And also like, I don't agree of like being Linux purists because that leads to not anyone, no one using Linux because no one is pure, they can only use Linux. Only super boring people who are sociopaths are gonna do that then, or me. I'm not boring or a sociopath, but I deal with Linux as much as I can only. But you know, we shouldn't be excluding people just because they are using proprietary software. We should try and help them jump over to the free software side. And not by making fun of them or trying to make them feel worse. No, but just by showing them what it's like here and maybe they will feel the benefits. Like, I don't think it's a good idea to look down on people who use proprietary software and say, oh, you peasants. I'm thinking about deleting these mixers and just rooting this directly there, but maybe they'll stay like, there's no pain, no hurt in having them here actually. I think I wanna try and maybe golden child said, did you just say you were still boring lol? Ha ha ha ha. Beam music says, I used Windows today, unbelievable. All right, let's make a bass and strider. And I really wanna play it with Odin too. Let's maybe clone this thingy. Here we have it, call it bass. Gonna make it, give me channel one. Maybe the single MIDI channel thing is actually gonna help us keep things more organized. Also, am I too quiet under the music or is the music too quiet under me? I don't know. So I didn't see you guys complain so far. Hopefully then it's good. I also upgraded Odin too. Ooh, and I get this. Ha ha ha. Now, okay, change of plans. Odin doesn't load. What the hell is gonna use? Surge, I guess. I'm not sure which version, VST3? I think VST3 is gonna give us the least trouble. At least that's hope. Okay, gonna root. It's making sounds already. I'm going to turn it down before I connect to the output because I just don't want to have sounds being very loud. Okay, let's turn it on. Wait, what's that? I don't get it. How does it come from? Where is it sound coming from? Is this meaning I don't map any channel? What the, what the hell? What, what, what the hell? Panic, where is the panic button? I don't see it. Where's the panic button when you need it? There's no panic button where you need it. There's no panic button where you need it. Where is the panic button where you need it? There is no panic button in the synth. That's terrible. Okay, why doesn't it... Filter the channels? I think it just gives me all the channels. Why? I wonder also if I can MIDI control channel. I don't get it. What's going on? Okay, let's see what's happening in Giada. Oh, okay, they sent to MIDI channel 10. Oh dear. Actually, that's more of a kick than a snare. I need to correct that sound. Dippity-bippity. Ah, yeah. Let's go back to Junkik and see what... Oh yeah, that's a kick. That's, there's your problem. I'm going to make a trick. I'm just gonna hypers this kick. And I'm gonna turn it down. And now it's not a kick anymore. It's a snare. Ha, ha, ha, ha, gotcha. Didn't see that coming, did ya? Why the channel filter is not working? I think maybe there are some, oh, you know what? I don't know, I think I need to go the route of deleting this. Let's save the project, by the way. Also, I'm gonna save the Giada project to find the same directory. Whoop. Oh my goodness, son of a gun is easier. Oh, I can't type. Wow, I need to click through. Holy smokes, that's... What? Oh my goodness, no. Look at this. How do I select a pad? Oh my goodness, I need to click and then it's gonna take a while to... Oh my, that's terrible. Okay, let me search for this. There's a lot of trash in here. Okay, got it. And now I wanna call it Giada. Okay, yes, okay, saved. Woo. Well, at first I double clicked and my route folder for project files and it just saved in there. I thought it's not gonna be possible to do it at all. Okay, I think this is good. I'm gonna delete this. All right. Yeah, now I'm gonna add another one. Media channelize, channelize, channelize, channelize. Okay, now let's rename it to base. And see if our freaking holy smokes still doing this. Oh, maybe it's just... No, it's not filtering the channels. Why? Why? Why are you giving me all the channels? I don't need all the channels. Meaning no channel filter. Simple channel filter, maybe this one will do. Is it too much to ask? Is it too much to ask? Is it too much to ask? Is it too much to ask? Is it too much to ask? All right. So, I think mystery solved. This plugin just doesn't work at all. It's dummy. It's bullshit. Sorry. It just doesn't... Ah, and I crashed Karla. There you go. Segmentation fault. Not my fault. Yeah, not nice. That's not nice. Okay, let's slow the project again. Ta-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da. And there you go. And we're back. Yeah, the good thing that I saved. You see, let's try and now maybe first disconnect this. Maybe it doesn't, I don't know, it doesn't like deleting plugins that it has connected. And now it didn't crash. Okay, so first lesson of the day. MIDI channelize does jack shift key, but MIDI simple channel filter does work. So we're gonna use this one instead. And let's give us channel 10. The drums are on. And we need another one for the bass. For the bass. Save the project. Remove this. I'm gonna rename the bass. Oh, drums, I mean. Okay, now we can do things. And actually, oh, I should be able to just play. And I am. Let's make it a good tempo sync. Okay, I wanna record this bass line of a single note. Can I get a MIDI input? Yeah. Can I get a MIDI input? Yeah. I think I recorded this two takes once. Yes, I don't want to take some one. Oh, it's loud. I need to remove all that. Oh, what? All right, we have a super, super simple bass line. Now I'm doing this because I want this to be procedural noises making. I switched the LFOs to free run, which means they do not reset with every note. I wanna give them some envelopes, so they have a little spike. Also, we don't need more voices than one. Oh, I do sound so much cleaner. That's interesting. That's interesting. Bodily says, I'm using the same microphone. I just changed its placement. It's overhead now. It's up, up here. Here's the mic. Yeah, my mic changed cleaner because I'm sick. Kind of liking the space. But I do want to give this FM sound also a bit more motion. That's the thing. I wonder, oh, yay. There's a way to smooth it out. That's so cool. Turning on the wave shaper. I think we need a little bit of noise and also a stereo path signal path. Let's make the noise quieter. I'm going to turn this bass down a little bit because I think it's a bit too loud. I mean, the noise. Also play with the filter one. Malakalsi says, hi, I'm fine. Thank you for a great work. Thanks. I was wondering, can you automate parameters with this setup? Do you mean manually control them with a physical controller or create automation patterns that these parameters are going to follow? I'm not sure. Maybe Giada has MIDI CC automation. I don't know. Maybe it has it. Let's check it out. I'm learning this stuff as I go along. I'm like, one thing is I'm a little afraid this patch might get lost if I close the UI because that sometimes happens. So what I'm going to do is I'm going to store this. Let's go date. So now if it crashes, we can restore it. Oh, it didn't break. That's nice. Good. See if Giada has automation. Automation. I'm going to attach it to key. Ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-dee-dee-dee-dee-dee-dee-dee-dee-dee-dee-dee. Woo-o-oo! Dee-dee-dee-dee-dee-dee-dee-dee-dee-dee. Velocity. Velocity. Uh-huh, I don't know. Maybe it's some cryptic stuff in here. Hey, but if I record. If you can just record. Just try and record the MIDI CC movement and see what happens. Does it have any messages in there? Oh, it does. haha something happened no what not know what this is it's not velocity that's what I know you know what I think it's let's delete that and answer yes to that question let's make a new one let's use one of the knobs to control the base patch and what I'm gonna do I'm gonna assign a macro so MIDI control channel one and what is this okay macro one let's MIDI learn it to this knob MIDI channel 22 okay now we have it now we have this learned in search let's check if it works yeah we can do this now I can for example I wonder if I can control like yeah yeah so I can control the depth of other LFOs with this macro now one thing I'd like to try is how which one are the sand effects the sand effect don't seem like which is the sand oh this is the sand effect that's the insert that's the sand okay maybe then me amuse this and I use that okay that's TNO says wait search is on board sand effects I didn't notice these my beloved Citrus it's crown is slowly being removed from its head sorry might let's oh yeah I think you want I think I just want a knob for the cutoff and I'm gonna just use this thing here and the second filter learn it right click edit and here macro to MIDI learn and this I wonder if now can record my performance on the on the controller into Giada and yeah because I guess the ideal workflow would be to have some loops prepared and then record some things alive as you're performing your your live act of course but not have to like you know sit down with a mouse and click in stuff in the piano later I guess the piano later is kind of like an extra so that's also I think that's why it's not very polished in Giada because it's probably not like the main tool for for doing this kind of stuff I'm gonna call this base 0 1 auto auto 0 1 base 1 auto 0 I'm gonna try and record this see if it happens manage it runs oh wait wait doesn't mean I don't need to have this filter be able to remove my signal completely I think because I can do that with MIDI notes so right about here we have maximum capacity okay now I'm optimizing the range of this parameter so I'm using more of the limited VCC resolution to actually make a change in here I like to see if I can record this into Giada it does work kind of I I hear some changes I wish this was longer and more resolution but we definitely have something going on maybe I can increase the resolution of this clear actions all okay let's try this again gonna enlarge my view and see what I'm doing this here knob shine some light on this thing this this knob kind of works I mean it does work but the time resolution is limited what if I disable this maybe it's gonna help yeah maybe I have the snapping enabled and just quantizes everything and maybe that's not good let's try it again no didn't help okay we're definitely limited by resolution here and I don't know how to increase this as also it's not like bound to grid right now it's just kind of something so I'm not sure what's going on it seems like it's slapping a bunch of values on the same it is definitely snapping something I wish I could have this more like does this zoom or something else okay so we can record automation but it's I think I don't know how to use it properly let's try it once again oh yeah the dialogue nah yeah so it's it's it's plopping all the values together in some arbitrary time maybe there's a setting somewhere to change that config should I press that button MIDI here's and I don't see anything about recording MIDI CCs I mean it has a distinctive sound to it what's up oh it's getting late isn't it when I hear what I'm doing and these drums sound nice a tux pfp what is that what's a tux pfp profile picture oh that's a profile picture okay that wasn't to me could have some alternate bass line can I oh I can't can I rearrange that no I can resize it gonna reduce the size of this camera I want to make some what note is this oh I'm recording on two first ones not good not not not good not good why interesting things emerge from this I must say and cool thing is I could actually like have all of this stuff to dedicate to my base and then I could just change a MIDI channel on my keyboard and send the MIDI CCs on a different MIDI keyboard on a different me channel and control different instruments so I could like jump between MIDI channels and control different instruments there's so much this could be done with this kind of stuff I'm probably gonna run out of the keyboard space there's QWE R I forgot my method about this I think I can focus better this let's go this tea I don't know and this is using the right wrong we'll have some other sound going on maybe a lead so simple channel filter let's give it channel to kids search I'm gonna change my keyboard to channel to oh oh no that was cocked if it's not channels all right now I'm playing this patch good let's go with a super saw I feel a little bit limited that Gianda's patterns are very short I I couldn't record a longer phrase if I wanted at least I don't know how what is this for one oh what is this maybe I'm gonna say okay and save my project yay is it saving did I just crash it oh no no it's just asking all right let's see what this is maybe I can extend my parts I wish I could make something longer so what is this what what is this and this that's a click okay I heard it it's click I don't know what this is so or this wait if I off this thing maybe this is the stuff that was hey Anfa are you using a risk v computer to I not I'm using AMD processor and AMD processor are the risk v computers powerful enough already and available to the public to be running this kind of stuff yeah maybe I could try and record this automation maybe make a new one oh I'm to switch my keyboard back to channel one yeah I think we've got some success yeah just unfortunately I overlaid two of these so it's clear the actions okay so I figured out how to record me DCC's at full resolution good great nice okay but what is this thing then okay this is snapping I guess not sure why it goes up to a 1-8 maybe this reduction of the DCC density I don't know what is this or this doesn't do anything oh beats four by four okay four quarter notes all right that's the way this maybe I can too that's how I can extend my that's how I extend my parts but everything gets progressively longer and I have empty space everywhere okay it would be cool if I could just have some of them be longer and some not you know or if I could just have like a loop marker because that this is kind of useless now can't do anything with this all right let's make that lead oh no no sample actually maybe if we I could try and record something just for fun okay it's gonna be outside of my let's save this Carla preset by the way here it goes yeah so that's the audio output and where is the audio input of Giada where is it's recording boards maybe it's gonna spawn them when I start recording now would be nasty I don't like programs doing this all the city does that it's terrible you can never be rooting with it cuz it's gonna break it every time well I guess we have to check that it set up global media input config sound system jack input input device oh that's the thing okay whoa sweet sweet segfold we we crash Giada all right let's run it again it's still running and now I need to find the file path cuz I can't paste it my goodness that's terrible please make an actually usable file dialogue for Giada or use the oh yeah I clicked on something weird and it crashed again or closed I don't know that's so good you I I'm gonna shut the base file open now if I misclick it's gonna just close so that's city I got it I've loaded it does work so it was this this before for I guess and why is this not doesn't want to play what the hell what's going on something's borked that's what but maybe it's like now slave to jack transport and I need to yeah it's slave to jack transport or is it I see maybe now I need to connect it to my car track patch pay I mean yeah oh why the hey what the oh the MIDI channels are all set to one I mean yeah cool but I get it is catchy but that's not what I wanted if I wanted this kind of stuff to go down I would not assign ma MIDI channels again with I definitely need a MIDI panic on that me channel I think there was a way to send a MIDI panic from this keyboard I don't remember what is it so was like shift panic oh these two oh no that's something else oh my goodness oh yeah oh wait I stopped it nah that's not what I wanted I completely lost my flow whoa whoa whoa shite this is overdub how this zooming is shift key how they scroll this bed really not good how do I find the notes page up page down good agee interesting says hello hello agee interesting this is an attempt at creating a live electronic music performance using jada and Carla I wanted to add a lead line you may remember on me channel too and that really didn't go far I'm gonna do something really simple and did it record how how did it record why didn't it record a weight is all MIDI input only on channel one it is please record any channel I give you okay thanks now that's kind of silly I play and record that's gonna hopefully played no it doesn't weird I don't know what these two buttons do I don't know why there are two buttons he didn't record I think it didn't record it didn't record anything let's try again yeah then well now it recorded something but not everything seems like I'm just going outside out of bounds what are stuck notes agee interesting says what software you use for this this is jada a loop loop machine which supports MIDI like it's like one of not many nice loop machines that support me and I'm also using Carl up Hedge Bay to lay out my not this instance actually different instance this one where the jada comes in here and I split it to many channels for drums the bass and the lead and I wanted to have some more of this lead melody but oh my goodness scroll wheel nah I never use scroll wheel in this so terrible actually this is kind of usable as a melody I don't need too much oh for god TNO TNO says ANFA doesn't yet also support audio looping it seemed to remember that being the thing but I'm not sure yes of course it does so I'm I'm mostly interested in MIDI TNO like hoot hoot okay sorry oh no FM depth for me why because I have this disabled weird why does work nice see I'm gonna make this more interesting by modulating different things these eight whole triplets six whole notes ah nah nah the other way around please I wanted to jump out of sometimes I'm not sure if it's gonna do that oh it's not gonna create trigger now it might do the eight thoughts on jada versus sequence 6664 well I think jada is a little bit more like expensive because you can also have audio loops and apparently you have some maybe more control but I think sequence 64 is easier both to control live because it has a fixed layout and you can have different you can have loops of different lengths which is really important and yeah I think I would be going for sequencer 66 if I could try it out I was not able to do that yet so that's why I'm not I wish to try it out yeah I think I think sequencer 64 would be easier for me to use and being able to make your custom keyboard layout is cool and all but I get really confused lost in this T and all says if all else fails look at the project's github page I reported my errors and so far I got some assistance from the developer I wasn't able to resolve them I wish there was a binary package for Arch Linux manjaro and a bunch I could just install well so you can see that making live performance is time-consuming especially if you're not used to doing that so I would call this a day I think it's time to end this little experiment here I think that Serge is performing excellently Giancic is performing excellently Carla is performing pretty okay and Gian Giada is performing okay so to me that the big bummer is the non-variable loop length a big plus probability is the audio playback audio loop playback which is like possibly more people would use only that than MIDI once I get seek 66 to to run you know why Odin doesn't work because I didn't install it I should have removed it first and what is an opt oh I didn't remove it completely I just removed the ah okay that's my fault okay but we played with Serge instead alright I see why that didn't work yep so I hope you've been having some fun watching me do this kind of weird stuff gonna tell you all to stay safe try out Giada try out Carla and Serge if you haven't already try and make a sensible finale to this half bake jam why doesn't my keyboard trigger more than one thing at a time also oh why does the base still play the background I think it's a stack note could you stack note please unstuck yourself because I want to end the stream and making it awkward thank you alright see you guys sometime soon hopefully take care huge thanks to everyone who's watching huge thanks to everyone who's supporting me on Patreon and LibrePay thank you guys all so much for your support that really means a lot to me and sorry for not being able to do the regular stream I hope this was fun at least and educational and yeah I'll see you in the next video or live stream whatever tech comes first bye
