This is so cool.

So, I had this idea this morning, and have spent hours creating and exploring the possibilities!

My thoughts were:

  1.  I want to experiment with an old, analog step sequencer.
  2. I don’t own one
  3. How can I use Logic Pro in order to accomplish the types of things I want to experiment with?

I’m sure you can do similar things with other DAWs.

You have got to hear this!

If after the intro you get the general idea, you’re welcome to fast-forward to the 7:45 mark to hear the fully modified template.

Love the sound of analog synths?   Me too.

Love the flexibility and recall of digital?   Me too.

Here are some ways to combine an analog synth with a computer environment.

Get additional oscillators into your Minilogue!!      Connect your minilogue and use it as a modular system in your computer!

You’ll need either a 5 pin MIDI to USB, or a USB cable to connect the Minilogue to your computer.

Download drivers, and firmware updates   http://www.korg.com/us/support/download/product/0/544/

Correction in the video!   I said that for your MIDI tracks in your DAW, use the MIDI OUT option (you’ll see in the video what I mean).   When in fact you’ll need to use the MIDI SOUND option provided by the driver.

The plugin let’s you choose what decade of vinyl you want to emulate, how many scratches, etc.    Very cool!

 

And checkout how they listed the credits in the plugin. … ha ha !!!

Running Audio Through a Virtual Synth??

In the quest for creating new and interesting sounds, I wanted to figure out how I could run my audio/MIDI tracks through a virtual synth, and use the effects to creatively alter the sound.    It took some time, but I have it figured out and wanted to share the secrets!

If you own the Moog Modular (version 2.8+) or download the free demo, you can try this!

I don’t know that I have very usable results yet with the patches I’ve designed and the sound sources I’ve tried them with, but I can hear the potential.  And it sure is fun experimenting with this!
