Amazing work!! Propa oldschool vibe. Love it.

[@sveast1999]

Very good work man ! Great Setup ! Very well explained! Super Jungle track! Thumbs up !

[@Crabby303]

Thank, glad you like it :)

[@chrisstaniforth5629]

Really interesting stuff dude. Cheers for the video!

[@Crabby303]

Thanks, might post an update soon as there've been a few important changes to the setup.

[@morganwebster6636]

Proper as usual man, Good business here.

[@Crabby303]

Cheers! :)

[@capesoundboy]

sick, love the combo of gear as well

[@avace917]

A black MMT8 is pretty rare. Guess they made those to pair up with the HR-16B. I have the X3. Workstation version of the X5. I know a couple of people who stared with the grey one. Less sounds though. Was very useful at the time I bought it. Wild setup. Incredible possibilities with sound

[@Crabby303]

Didn't realise black MMT8's were rare - and I've two of them. Didn't know there was a workstation version of the X5, what's it like for writing on? I really like the X5d/r, yeah great sounds, and the onboard fx are top class.

[@avace917]

@@Crabby303 if you've ever sequenced on any Korg Workstation starting with the M1, it's all the same. Maybe the black MMT8s weren't that rare. I just never saw them in any of the music tech stores I used to frequent.

[@Crabby303]

@@avace917 I've never used a Korg to sequence unfortunately! The only other MMT8's I've seen were grey in fairness, it'd be interesting to find out what the production ratio was.

[@avace917]

@@Crabby303 the sequencing on the Korg stuff I used was very basic. Track by track, but I made the most of it until I got my MPC 2000

The best secuencer to perform

[@BlissfulWizard82]

Just found your channel mate and I have to say I’m fucking loving your videos! Keep em coming!

Thank you! Glad you like my stuff! :D

Types in mmt 8 and jungle out of curiosity and here pops up a fella only up the road. Embarrassed I didn't catch ya before, will certainly be checking Yr videos out from now on

[@Crabby303]

Nice one, more on the way!

[@permafugue]

I would subscribe but you have 303 subscribers.

[@Crabby303]

🤣

[@TayTayMakesBeats]

It's time!

[@Crabby303]

I wanted to get a snip of the screen at 303 subs but by the time I got home from work it had passed it! 🙃

[@MG53v8]

Nice ❤ one of these for sale on my fb market ,may have to get it. Cheers for the demo.

[@Crabby303]

I'd grab it if the price is right :)

[@godot5082]

Highly appreciated the retrokits rk008 midi sequencer in the style of mmt8.

[@Crabby303]

Someone else recommended it too, but minijack midi and its calculator size kind of put me off, due to my stubby fingers and generally klutzisch nature lol, I'd be a disaster on the thing

[@pauldablue]

​@Crabby303 - An MMT-8 was my Jam back in the day, but my RK-008 is just leaps and bounds ahead of the Alesis, 16 x the memory, so much added functionality, oh and it doesn't dump its memory at random.

[@jamo2311]

I think you'd like the Octatrack. I got a mk1 on the cheap and it's really the greatest sampler for this kind of music. the way you use the MMT-8 reminds me a lot of the workflow. It's almost like all of this in a box.

[@Crabby303]

Thanks, I almost bought one a good few years ago but got an mPC5k instead, which I have come to regret! 😭 If I see one for cheap I may give it a go!

[@rickypicture9026]

Second the octatrack recommendation. This is some good stuff though!!

[@deanmarshallshalabi]

great vid!

[@Crabby303]

Thanks :)

Thanks, I will upload the tune on BC and post the link in the description :)

Subbed, great stuff

[@Crabby303]

Thanks for subbing! :)

[@itsJoel59]

Great video! Do you know if the MMT-8 receives sustained notes from a sustain pedal in the MIDI-keyboard? Mine doesn't notice them, sadly...

[@Crabby303]

I don't think it does, I've never programmed them in via pedal anyway, and I don't recall seeing a reference to it in the manual. Must dig it out and check when I get home!

[@XnazxulX]

So what i can’t wrap my head around is if you hook up multiole midi devices how you daisy chain them.. just thru in to each one? Unless it doesn’t have a thru then use out? Love my mmt-8 tho

[@Crabby303]

Good Q, I should have covered this - although most of the instruments have either in/out or thru, some (SampleTrak, SU10) are in-only. And the MMT-8 has only 1 out, so I use a MIDI-Man "Quadra-thru" box giving me 4 outs from the MMT-8

[@lesterfalcon1350]

How is yours still working. I had 2 MMT8s in the 90's that both suffered from dementia

[@Crabby303]

Both still ok memory-wise. The buttons lost conductivity years ago so I coated the connective pads inside with a conductive paste which worked perfectly. They sometimes spazz out if they reach max memory.

[@lesterfalcon1350]

@@Crabby303 I'm a little romantic about the idea of a pair of MMT*s as a hub of a live system. I got mine as an Orbital fan. So great to see you still have a pair hanging on. A few years back I saw a review of the Squarp Pyramid, which apparently is based on the MMT8 x2 foundation, but with extra functions. I was tempted before heading down the MPC route.

[@kassidylabryer5765]

What does the sound come out of a studio monitor i never see speakers please help!!!! I have an alessis sr18 and a korg volca bass where do I plug them in together to make noise lol I'm new to a dawless setup I have an old guitar amp is that what I use and what order to connect them

[@Crabby303]

Hey so you need a mixing desk with a couple of channels to plug in your SR16 & Volca and whatever else, then run the mixer output to your amp or monitors. Hope this helps and you get jamming! I have a pair of monitors to the right of my setup, out of shot :)

[@kassidylabryer5765]

@Crabby303 thank you so much that was exactly what I need to kno. Thanks again! cheers.

[@meso1979]

Hardware DTM is cool

[@Crabby303]

What does DTM stand for?

[@miladbarikani3591]

you are genius having all this exceptional lame gears and just some legendary gears exactly where to just connect all this together to be a undefeated system is there any reason that you use a separate hardware for bass?why didn't you sample the bass too in the sampler?

[@Crabby303]

Thanks! I like to use the sampletrak mostly for beats, also it only has 2 outputs so they are used for the breaks in this tune. I think the sound of the raw analog bass is better too, it has more low end I think..
