How To Craft Epic Bass Sounds From Scratch | Minilogue XD

[@herbiebrady568]

The minilogue xd was my first synth and I love it. Great video as always! 🙌🏾🙌🏾

[@AnalogKitchen]

Awesome! Thank you!

[@ketama047]

“Music: something you do with your ears, not your eyes”. This is why I love AK 😎🤘🏾🔈🥂💣

[@AnalogKitchen]

Thanks @Ketama047. Holds true though!

[@IrrationalRecreation]

It was the Minilogue XD that revived my interest in hardware synths (and led to more GAS). Lovely bit of kit.

[@AnalogKitchen]

It sure is. Can’t believe I snoozed on it for so long. It’s my goto synth for sound design

[@py_a_thon]

How much does one cost, to go one hundred honest? That is usually the limiting factor for many musicians.

[@py_a_thon]

There is another aspect of analog or modular synthesis that many do not realize. If routed properly, the setup becomes an actual physical instrument. That is possible for certain with daw's and digital products. However: computers are glitchy. Midi doesnt always send and the full studio mode of that skill is equally as expensive or more expensive(once you add in the soft synth gas).

[@py_a_thon]

If someone is very low income...yeah, grab a 50 dollar .midi keyboard and daw it up on a laptop with Reaper, Ardour, or whatever.

[@Nick_Bowling]

Sounds great as always , you make it look so easy 👌, I'm going on Holiday in the morning , cant wait to try this on my Minilogue when I'm home 😜

[@AnalogKitchen]

Have a nice one! Let me know how you get on once you’re back at your lab! 🥼

[@glensubtorq]

You explain the whole reason why I play Live as I write a track. Just turn the gear on and play/write. 👍😎

[@AnalogKitchen]

That’s the only way I seem to learn/experience music really fast!

[@FuZZbaLLbee]

Loving those classic baselines ❤ Nice base patches as well 👍

[@AnalogKitchen]

Glad you do! Thanks 🙏

[@danlee8517]

Nice tutorial AK! Can definitely transfer the techniques across to other multi oscillator synths. Love the Minilogue sound though 😊

[@AnalogKitchen]

Glad you liked it!

[@py_a_thon]

I have access to a software version of a 3 oscillator synth that is mostly feature complete. (Waveform selection. Mix or Amplitude Modulation(am) or Pulse modulation(pm). ASDR envelope on volume, cutoff and reso. FX chain potential..Course tuning on each oscillator. Fine tuning. Etc. The synth I use also has a spread and phase (0-360) setting yet that is very difficult to use properly). Yeah bruv...you can get some dank sound right quick. Science ftw. I dont think you truly need more than that unless you want to buy very expensive cheatcodes.

[@hataproofrecords]

Do you save your live performances as midi then track them out as audio, mix and master for release?

[@AnalogKitchen]

I actually can when I use the RetroKits stuff

[@AnalogKitchen]

But most often I record the whole thing and analyze as I work the other way around. What I make live already exists in some capacity as a track that I work on semi dawlessly

[@hataproofrecords]

@@AnalogKitchen thanks for your response A.K. My workflow is different. I record my performance as audio (as a reference/dummy track). Then go back to organize my midi patterns as a song that will be tracked out, mixed and mastered. I any event, thanks for what you do because it has allowed me to finish tracks. I’m about to release my first house/techno E.P. very soon.

[@williamwallace6508]

quick Q. in your videos you are using a mixer and faderfox? an mc 707 is an 8 channel mixer with much better effects than both combined.

[@AnalogKitchen]

I beg to differ about the MC707. And since setups change more than underwear around here I can assure you it will find another purpose soon...

[@xxjoshbrownxx]

Shoutout the Soundcraft EPM!!! It’s like a sweet, boring friend that’s always there for you but never makes it to the party.

[@AnalogKitchen]

Hahaha! We're incognito: Always there (To please you) Always there (When I need you) Always there (To love you) Always there (Thinkin' of you)

[@py_a_thon]

The only thing I would dislike about that synth is that it does not have more keys on the keyboard lol. I need to remember that it is supposed to be a DJ tool moreso than a piano.

[@py_a_thon]

(best christopher walken voice): that NEEDS more Octaves

[@hardywoodaway9912]

that‘s what the midi port is for

[@py_a_thon]

@@hardywoodaway9912 True that.

[@AnalogKitchen]

At this price point I’d even suggest to get the module and save space. That way you can get any custom master keyboard and cater to your needs specifically?

[@py_a_thon]

@@AnalogKitchen Right now I am just trying to play 2 handed keyboard as well as I can, yet only as a hobby. That ability to play 2 separate patterns, and one with each hand is a very intellectually interesting and challenging skill. I have so much respect for skilled piano players. Now I want to steal the skills and apply it to guitar lol.

[@AnalogKitchen]

X!

[@johnrichardson3297]

If you cut your intro music out to actually demo the final product. People will appreciate your channel as being in pocket… not 5 minutes in. Less minutiae please.

[@AnalogKitchen]

People would appreciate... As much as I hear ya, you do make it sound as if you went around with a survey so I ask, is this your humble opinion or did it come up in group? Thanks for watching
