Arturia Microfreak / Korg Minilogue XD / Chase Bliss Audio ONWARD - Ambient synth jam for relaxation

This started off as a cover of Silent Night - things escalated quickly. I'm juggling ambient arpeggios on the ‪@ArturiaOfficial‬ Microfreak and the ‪@korgukofficial‬ Minilogue XD. ‪@ChaseBlissAudio‬ ONWARD is glitching things up on the periphery. How do you manage two synths at once? Let me know in the comments - I'm drowning in synths over here.

I used to worry that adding more gear might blow up my whole setup. but fear is sneaky that way—it keeps you from taking even baby steps. meanwhile, the world is on fire with housing/climate crises and i’m over here stressing about a second synth. maybe we can handle more than we think.

If you enjoyed the video, maybe consider subscribing and hitting the bell. It helps out little old me make it a little higher up the charts :)

GEAR:
Arturia MICROFREAK – FM bells and chimes
Korg MINILOGUE XD - Fuzzy analog textures

Chase Bliss DARK WORLD - Weird reverb
Zoom MS50G+ - Multi-effect pedal (ping pong delay here)
