Deconstructing Okjokull: how I make a track

I've decided to talk about my process a little bit, and deconstruct one of my recent tracks, and talk about chord progressions, basslines, arps, melodies, and how I arrange, sequence and perform everything using the Squarp Pyramid and various other desktop synthesizers.

Apologies for the glitchy audio. I merged 2 separate audio interfaces to get the synths and my voice recorded at the same time, and I don't think the drivers like that.

Really great video, man, and a fun song! Especially liked the stuff about chord progressions, sequencing, and the drums. Looking forward to the next part.

Nice tutorial olivier!! you prefer the pyramid than deluge.Have better workflow? Witch one you sugest to buy ?

[@OlivierOzoux]

The Deluge is a great all-in-one box and very well integrated with its own internal sequencer. It also does a great job driving external gear. The Pyramid was designed from the ground up to control large amounts of external gear ( up to 48 midi channels vs the Deluge’s 16 ) and IMHO a more fully featured sequencer. It really depends what you are trying to achieve

@@OlivierOzoux well as you said is what you are trying to archieve.I like very much the pyramid because can play midi file and edditing them.the powerfull midi effect and the clever pads with the chords looks very interesting.Deluge from the other hand have for me better workflow and somehow easier without screen feel it more like an instrument and listen more with the ears than with the eyes on the screen if iam not wrong.Ofcourse is not a much powerful as midi sequense as the pyramid but have the audio looping..So i dont know what to choose

Such a great in-depth video man. I am a hardware fanatic, and love what you have here. With all the synths I am assuming you're nowhere short of sounds, but I'd invite you to our site! We provide free samples to fellow creators within the community! Would love to potentially have you on our new LoFi Lowdown beat making series if that's something that interests you in the future!
