4K BONUS VIDEO (HOUSE MUSIC, MIDI SINK, and more)

The channel is almost at 4K subscribers - thanks very much! - and I figured to celebrate I would just do some random stuff that I've wanted to do but haven't. I also figured I would feature some of the gear/software that I've used a lot to make videos here (and on Instagram): Korg NTS-1, Korg SQ-1, Bastl Dude, Audacity, Ableton Live, FabFilter plug-ins, Make Noise 0Coast, and Walrus Audio Slo reverb. (I should say up front, there is not actually any house music [which I really enjoy, btw, but see below...])


TIMELINE

00:00 STARTER
Korg NTS-1, Korg SQ-1. SQ-1 midi controlling the arp on the NTS-1 and also using the SQ-1 sync+gate signals as audio input into the NTS-1 (note: attenuated by the Bastl Dude mixer) for some clicky beats. I'm cheating a little here by layering in a reversed version of the audio in post-processing.

00:44 INTRO
Talking about current events and about hitting 4K subscribers soon.

01:55 HOUSE MUSIC
This is a bad joke that only makes sense in light of the next section...

03:19 CAR MUSIC
I've always wanted to do this.

04:40 MIDI SINK
I've really, really always wanted to do this. I feel like it turned out pretty nice. Part of that is running the instruments through FabFilter Volcano2 and TimeLess2 for filtering and reverb/delay. Those plug-ins can make almost anything sound good (or at least better). I turned the midi note grid off in Ableton and tried to line things up as best I could.

07:48 OUTRO, PATCHING, and ENDER
Nothing much going on here; I just really like the 0Coast.
