*** Korg MS Family Party * MS-50 * VC-10 * SQ-10 * MS-20 * MS-20 * MS-10 ***

About a cute happy Korg MS family having good time together.
Please watch (and listen!) HQ if possible.

Used gear:
- Korg MS-50
- Korg MS-20 (2x)
- Korg MS-10
- Korg VC-10
- Korg SQ-10
- Doepfer MSY-1
- Mackie Onyx 1620i
- Ableton Live

All sounds are produced live with the gear as seen in the video. No drum computers are used.

From left to right, top to bottom:

The MS-50 plays the kick drum. Also some of the MS-50 modules are used for other functions

The SQ-10 is programmed to play two sequencer patterns:
- A+B: 16-step pattern, tuned to play a melody (in the intro this pattern is also used for white noise filter modulations).
- C: 8-step pattern for filter modulations (percussion and bass)

The upper MS-20 starts with some white noise percussion, and is switched to play a melody after the intro. This MS-20 output is later on used as input sound for the vocoder. (There is a switch function programmed in this patch which allows me to switch instantly between the microphone or the synthesizer as input for the vocoder).

The VC-10 adds some great polyphony to the track and is used to process microphone as well as synthesizer sounds.

The lower MS-20 is used for percussion and uses SQ-10 channel C for filter modulations. Note the variations during the track in the rhythmic pattern and sounds just by using the filters.

The MS-10 plays a steady bass line. I planned to tweak the bass sound a bit more during the track, but I guess I was too busy :-)

The track is recorded and mastered using Ableton Live.

Enjoy!
