Wonderful sounds! Any chance for a walk-through on how you created these patches?

@TDB_Music Ай бұрын

Thanks for the kind words! Unfortunately I do not have the synth anymore, but I would recommend a couple of things that I found out during the filming of the video: - the Minitaur does extremely well for percussive sounds, rounting the EG envelope to the pitch of one oscillator and adding some crunch and delay is absolutely wonderful - the Minitaur has a hard pitch limit when the midi reaches a certain high note (I think C5). But that means you can have one oscillator an octave down playing some notes, and the other oscillator stuck at C5 for some fake chords that just sound like nothing else - I personnally find that detuning oscillator 1 down my an octave, but not quite exactly an octave, creates a lot of tension in the sound, especially if it’s a square wave against a saw on oscillator 2 - When both oscillators are almost tune together, but not quite, you can use the “beating” effect that they develop as a rhythmical sound - As the demo shows, most sounds are actually very very simple, but absolutely shine with effects. I think this is the greatest strength of the Minitaur, it is a perfect base sound for adding effects to. Hope this helps!

@@TDB_Music thank you so much for those exelent tips, I really appreciate! 💖 Got my minitaur a couple of weeks ago and absolutely love the clean and deep sounding lowend, fits very well with an orchestra. Gonna definitely experiment using your precious recommendations! Thanks again for your response. 🙂

@@TDB_Music Ohh .. ok I see .. you just mute the soundtrack in the game and put your own in as practice .. good idea, hope you get some gigs scoring some actual games down the road, what you did sounds good. As a professional keyboard player from the late 70’s up to around the end of the 90’s I did a few scores for Public Television in the Los Angeles/OC area back in the 80’s .. but that’s about it for scoring, it was hard to compete with the Synclavier guys around here. Today it’s much more competitive with everybody having easy access to DAW’s and plugins, you don’t need that $250k Synclavier II anymore like we did back then, plus now you have AI to deal with. I hope if it’s your dream to do professional game/video/movie scoring you hang in there and persevere .. and your dream comes true. Keep up the good work 👍

I love my Minotaur but it always sounds "rubbery" and not "edgy" or has any kind of bite (like all MOOG products TBH). I used it once on a big film and sort of cringe when I hear those tracks. It is just dated--- but I still have mine and probably will keep it as my one MOOG in my studio. Cool cue.

@TDB_Music Жыл бұрын

I think the one thing missing on it is a way to overload the filter through the oscillator mixing stage, like lots of other Moogs! But I always find it really interesting how different composers have different experiences with the Minitaur. Whether it fits someone’s taste or not, I think it definitely made a mark on the gear landscape. Thanks for watching!

Super basic question - did you record your loops to an external recording device?

Everything is recorded directly into an audio interface and into Ableton. I used the midi keyboard through Ableton to control the synth, and processed some of the sounds directly in the computer once recorded

@chateautemp Жыл бұрын

@@TDB_Music Got it thanks. The part at 2min where you're looping the delayed kick part is what I'm referring to. I haven't figured out how to record audio while doing that with a loop. I'm sure it's a basic thing but can't for the life of me find it out there in tutorials!

@TDB_Music Жыл бұрын

Ah yes, took me some time too! Basically, you need one MIDI channel that is set to sent the programmed midi notes to the synth. Then, you need an audio channel that is set to record the audio IN from the synth (in your audio interface). In Ableton, there is a device called “External Instrument” which combines both tracks into one, so you can play the MIDI and hear directly the synth on the same track (as if the external synth was just a plugin), which is how I was able to add effects to it. I would always recommend however recording the audio to a separate track. The reason you don’t see the audio recording in the video is because I’m using a screen capture software to capture the sound, to make it easier for the video editing!

Look, I’ve been thinking about how to address this for a while, so I’m going to do this now. This video is about two years old, and in a lot of these comments I recommend Spitfire Audio products. This is sadly not the case anymore, as I no longer feel comfortable recommending them. I started composing in 2017 and idolized that company. For me, they represented the pinnacle of sampling. I dreamed of days where I would finally be able to afford the HZ Percussions volumes (back when they were volumes). Hell, I still have the original labs library, where profits used to go to charity (no longer the case). However, the face of the company has been openly transphobic, and made no apologies for it. Spitfire Audio is brushing over this as if nothing ever happened. And it is making me very uncomfortable. You cannot have the music industry, synthesizer community, eurorack systems, soundtracks geniuses without trans persons. We stand on their shoulders. And I cannot fathom how such behavior is ok from the largest sampling company in the world. There are so many other great sample companies nowadays, that Spitfire is not that special anymore. Maybe if they make an apology and take action to support trans communities, I will come back on this decision. The world is so complex that companies are bound to make mistakes. It’s up to you and you alone to decide which ones tickle your moral compass. For me, this is one.

I've always longed for the bass girth and growl of an OG Taurus, but the prices were just too out there. With the Minitaur and a deep controller like my KMI 12 Step, I finally have THAT bass sound under my feet. For the fullest sounding analog bass, nothing touches it. It may not play scorching high lead sounds, but this was an excellent video example of pushing it's limits and creating a more than full sounding mix, even with the C4 cap. Well done!

@TDB_Music Жыл бұрын
