BERLIN SCHOOL JAM with GRP R24 & KORG ARP Odyssey* MS 20mini* MOOG Mother 32*

[@TheNimasan]

i got my R24 since a week i really didn't see something like it when it comes to analoge sequencing and i can maybe 5 % what the mashine is usually capable of. i'll keep it forever!!!!

[@naturesound2963]

ein Traum von Musik hier .. und vielen Dank auch für Deinen Besuch bei mir .. :)

[@VolcaRock]

aber gerne doch. Lieben Dank Dir!

[@ccoorryygg]

Awesome Track! Well Done! Thanks! Have Fun! :) :)

[@VolcaRock]

Thank you very much, you too :-)

[@MicroBanshee]

What a very 'busy' looking studio, there looks like many new items, I could't keep up with the on-screen notifications, and that sequencer sounds great, really like that pluck sound, top track and great video again Rob, well done.

[@VolcaRock]

thank you very much my friend. studio looks more, because the last year you have only seen parts of my studio in the videos ;-) the truth is, iot is less then a year ago. I sold a lot of stuff, all my rack synths like Doepfer MS404, Waldorf Pulse 1, Waldorf Microwave 1, a lot of Stompboxes. Only the GRP R24 is new and some stompboxes.

[@WABEofc]

Dreamy jam into gear paradise!

[@VolcaRock]

hehe, great comment, thanks a lot :-)

[@Lodud2]

Well done; congrats!; Thumb up !! Greetings !!

[@VolcaRock]

thanks a lot, mate :-)

[@massimocesareAnnaloro]

Bellissimo! La musica, il video, tutto! Mi è piaciuto anche il tributo alla tua meravigliosa compagna...

[@christianmichel2012]

Good vibes Nice sounds Very good job dude Bravo

[@VolcaRock]

thank you very much, and sorry for beeing late

[@amillionorangedolphins9663]

Best Berlin-track on the tube for a long time. Great use of your gear!

[@VolcaRock]

Wow, thank you very much , glad to hear that :-)

[@marcuskautz9696]

Hi Rob, mein Laptop war in der Reperatur! War mal eine Zwangspause im Internet! Hast Dich ja gut eingerichtet im neuen Heim! Und der Synthpark wächst und wächst. ;-) Sehr geiler Sound! Hammersequenzen. Schön, dass Du wieder da bist! Beste Grüsse Ihr zwei!

[@VolcaRock]

Ja, das leidige Thema Computer, früher konnte man noch selbst dran basteln, heute schon schwerer bis unmöglich v.a. bei Notebooks. Synthpark ist genau genommen geschrumpft seit letztem Jahr. Hab 3 Racksynths verkauft (Puls 1,Microwave1, Doepfer Ms404) und zahlreiche Effektgeräte. Aber in den Videos war immer nur der Peak zu sehen, deswegen die optische Täuschung ;-)

[@marcuskautz9696]

Yes, ohne Tastatur ist alles Makulatur! Nichts geht mehr! ;-)

[@1VperOctave]

Wow! Great track, thank you :)

[@VolcaRock]

Thanks a lot for great feedback :-)

[@ShimanskiBeats]

very nice atmosphere, sweet melancholic sequences, and as always: great visuals!

[@VolcaRock]

Thank you very much, mate :-)

[@bankporters]

cool share m8, enjoyed thanks

[@VolcaRock]

thank you very much for watching :-)

[@filon.]

I love to listen to such sequences

[@VolcaRock]

the grp is a sequencer to make these really easy

[@retrosound72]

Das fetzt total. :) Das sweept und wabert und zischt...toll

[@VolcaRock]

Lieben Dank Dir! Was mir noch einfällt. Zum analogen Sequencer bin ich über Dich gekommen . Ich hatte ja schon vor Jahren mal bei Dir den Döpfer Dark Time in Aktion gesehen. Da war ich von der Bedienung ganz angetan. Hab den dann vor einem Monat gekauft aber dann doch bemerkt ich brauch Ratcheting. So kam ich zum GRP :-)

[@Baermarcel]

Sehr schön gemacht!!! Es freut mich dass du nun ab und zu wider Videos produzierst.

[@VolcaRock]

Lieben Dank Dir! Ja, ich versuch!s zumindest :-)

[@mikewinzig8023]

Einfach geil. Und was für eine Ausstattung. Da träumt man von. Mehr von solchen Aufnahmen. Ist echt begeisternd.Auch die Umsetzung mit dem Video. Klasse. Respekt!

[@VolcaRock]

Vielen lieben Dank! Ich versuch immer etwas mehr in meinen Videos unterzubringen, quasi als Tagebuch ;-) Die Ausstattung kommt von alleine, wenn man seit Jahren immer mal wieder was neues holt. Als ich Anfing war ich noch Student, da gabs nur den Juno und Softsynths, jetzt wegen Spassfaktor noch Hardware

[@foxglove9]

Studio is looking good. Glad to see you are keeping unused synths covered to protect them. Loving the new sounds lately.

[@VolcaRock]

Thank you very much. I try to protect all synths when not playing, but in the end, only the Farfisa from 1966 gets a cover ;-)

[@TheBodhro]

Nice one !

[@VolcaRock]

thank you very much, ronnie

[@machiwoomiapoo]

Super nice!

[@VolcaRock]

thanks a lot !!

[@p07a]

Great one! Nice atmosphere. Those synthesizers sing/whistle!

[@VolcaRock]

Thanks a lot mate :-)

[@chisel316]

Great sounds and presentation. Love the way you virtually label everything. Awesome!

[@VolcaRock]

thank you very much. I label them also for myself, that I remember when watching in a year which instrument made which sound :-)

[@sygmaspqr8452]

This is fantastic ! Than you

[@VolcaRock]

Thank you very much for listening and feedback!

[@runningin533]

So good !!!:)

[@VolcaRock]

thanks mate:)

[@kindreadproject]

awesome session my friend, really berlin school style, massive setup. The GRP sound is killer, italin pride ;-) un abbraccio ciao!

[@VolcaRock]

mille gracie! GRP is really fantastic sequencer, but the sound is from the other synths, my friend.

[@kindreadproject]

really, but i speak about the seq. at 1:43

[@VolcaRock]

the GRP is sending MIDI Data to Roland Juno 60 (Bass) and KORG ARP ODYSSEY (Pluck). Sound comes from the synth

[@kindreadproject]

ahh OK now everything is clear! un abbraccio a ciao!

Toptechnik Hut ab !!! klasse Kanal hab dich abonniert :)) Superklasse Sounds :))) Daumen hoch #27 LG Jürgen

[@VolcaRock]

Vielen lieben Dank für Dein Feedback und Grüsse aus Dresden Rob

[@RCAvhstape]

New sequencer, nice, looks like your collection is growing still. Cool melodies in there.

[@VolcaRock]

Thanks mate, I sold 3 Racksynths (waldorf microwave 1, puls & Doepfer MS-404) to finance the GRP-Seqeuncer. SO the collection is not really growing ;-)

[@RCAvhstape]

Ah, so your bank account is mortal after all lol!

[@VolcaRock]

haha, yes, absolutely ;-)

[@karl-heinzlang4926]

Cooler track Gruss Karl-Heinz

[@VolcaRock]

Lieben Dank und Gruss aus Dresden :-) Rob

[@Lincoln6echoLSE]

Haha wow you've got it going on man.

[@VolcaRock]

Didn't have that much time, but I try to keep it going. And the ARP R24 helpes making Sequences at bit more easy and interesting

[@ArrayzableMusic]

New workspace! Very cool jam. And the MS-20 got some play time too ;-) I like both parts of this jam very much! And how awesome does that new sequencer look?! Wow!

[@VolcaRock]

Thanks a lot my friend. With your latest Ambient Series you remembered me to use the MS-20 again :-) I bought a used Doepfer Dark Time to test those kind of analog sequencers. And after 2 days I knew I need the GRP. It's the perfect counterpart to my Matrix SEQ. We moved to the inner city of Dresden, this is the reason for the new workspace :-)

[@ArrayzableMusic]

I thought you already lived in inner city. I hope you still have enough room for your gear :-)

[@VolcaRock]

You are right, but now we are in the historical old town. Hehe, for gear there is always enough space. My new studio is the office room. and for smaller projects my workroom is again the living room :-)

[@uweschnitzler9551]

cool !

[@VolcaRock]

lieben dank dir!

[@AnImaginalSpace]

Great sounds and imagery as always.... lots of knobs, dials and flashing lights :-)

[@VolcaRock]

Thanks a lot. .. These are called sequencers & synths, not really made for guitar players , hehe ;-)

[@AnImaginalSpace]

VolcaRock indeed... any box with more than two switches, two lights and five knobs is frankly too complicated for me.... :-)

[@VolcaRock]

hehe, but I am sure within a few hours you would also understand them :-)

[@OldBeats]

I like it !

[@VolcaRock]

Thanks mate :-)

[@halftimemodular]

Great session! I hope you will keep making vids on a regular basis again :)

[@VolcaRock]

Thanks mate! I hope that, too ;-)

[@EchoKraft]

This so awesome! I love the bass sequence! Your videos are always so interesting !

[@VolcaRock]

Thank you very much my friend! Great to get that feedback!

[@filipmoerman5879]

Nice

[@RalphBaumgartl]

Hallo Rob, sehr schöne und trippy Jam! Und klasse Video, wie immer 😉 Viele Grüße nach Dresden, Ralph

[@VolcaRock]

Hallo Ralph, lieben Dank Dir fürs reinhören. Kreative Grüsse zurück, ROB

[@JohnLRice]

Wonderful track! Congrats on getting the R24, it sounds like you are already an expert at using it! :-)

[@VolcaRock]

Thank you very much! Great to hear that, but I am sure I need more time with this beautiful beast to really understand it :-)

[@JohnLRice]

Me as well, it's a pretty deep sequencer! I still need to upgrade the firmware in mine. Yours probably came with the latest.

[@synthscolors]

Amazing, unusual sounding performances lovers... Watch it ! Hat off & thanks for this awesome musical & visual trip... Great weekend to you with new projects ! ;-))

[@VolcaRock]

thank you very much for your great feedback! Wish you lots of creative input for sunday :-)

[@synthscolors]

Fully deserved ! Thanks a lot ! ;-))

[@Pedalnerds]

Great video! I enjoyed it.

[@VolcaRock]

Thanks a lot mate :-)

[@Philipplus]

Very nice vibe! What is that Behringer pedal you have on the top shelf? I'm guessing it is a modded VT999... Cheers

[@VolcaRock]

Thanks a lot :-) You guessed nearly the right thing. Yes, It is Behringer Pedal Yes, It is modded No It is not VT999 ______________________ it's a modded VTM = 2xVintage Time Machine in one housing for stereo :-)

[@dubaidutch8025]

Great track, love your live playing!! Impressed with your quick mastering of the R24..I know its limitless potential, as I'm another proud owner. My top request to Paolo: scaling, improved visual display, activation of the USB port. How are the coloured switch covers you use called, would like to get some too, as I need more intuitive identification of the tightly packed switches. Ps your set-up makes me rethink how I use effects. Got a lot of analog gear, but most of my effects are in Ableton..perhaps should go back to the "old way". Thanks for the inspiration!

[@VolcaRock]

hallo jeroen, thanks a lot for feedback. GRP is lovely. I personally miss scaling most at the moment. i really hope this will come soon. i love to work with real hardware, so all of my fx are stompboxes on my pedalboard and some are in the rack. the minicaps I bought are these: www.ebay.de/itm/20-Kappen-fur-Mini-Kippschalter-div-Farben-Abdeckkappe-fur-Kippschalter-/381906526617?hash=item58eb672199

[@dubaidutch8025]

Noticed you're meta sequencing your GRP with the seq 12 matrix sequencer - that's a level of sophistication for my bucket list. The minicams are more doable - and way cheaper then the seq 12 - they don't ship in Switzerland, but the link pointed to other suppliers who do. Thanks for the tip and even more for your great music and inspiration to the music differently.

[@AlbaEcstasy]

Nice video! How is the GRP seq? It reminds my of Doepfer Dark TIme, where setting up a seq line is a nightmare, because you don't have any visual aid on seeing what note per step you have on the knob. Does the display on the GRP show the note per step?

[@VolcaRock]

Thank you very much. The GRP is the most versatile analog sequencer I know. Sadly it has no visual Feedback on the Display. I always use a second synth for finding the correct note. And on the Odyssey there is a Guitar tuner on the second output. Would be cool to get a software update with that feature. The other thing I miss is the possibility for scales. Waiting also for an update. But in all other things it is amazing, especially the ratchet und repeat note functions. And also the time division per row

[@dakitanmonkey]

Beautiful. New machine.. you got a lot now ! No more space around your sofa ? Or maybe you've changed your home.

[@VolcaRock]

Thanks a lot! You have seen it correctly. We moved to another home, this is why I had to make the live stuff in the office room, where all my instruments fit.Sofa sessions only with guitar and small setup :-)

[@cinemalulli]

no more octatrack? anyway, GRP seq is one of the best seq. i know Paolo Groppioni quite well

[@VolcaRock]

hehe correct, normally I use the Octatrack as my 8 track recorder, but this time I recorded live to only 1 stereo track (no need for octa). On the octatrack is a half finished track waiting to get ready. And I totally agree with the R24, the best analog sequencer I have ever seen. I only miss one thing: the possibility to play in scales (at least some simple ones like major, minor, lydian) Maybe you can ask Paolo, if this would be possible on future upgrades :-)

[@djmarco589]

nice!!

[@VolcaRock]

Thanks :-)
