How to Make your First Verselab Beat

[@Mahenounet]

Hi FB ! Thanks for your work :) The MV-1 worked well for me. Actually, I managed to finish a song for the first time thanks to it. It's really easy to learn - in 1 or 2 days. It is the sweet spot between limited and overwhelming, has a huge potential in terms of song writing and synthesis, really helps to focus. Also, if you find the 16 sections of 128 steps too limiting (which can be doubled or quadrupled by altering the tempo and/or clip scale in non-quantized mode) you can overdub by making use of the 12 minutes of audio recording, which is independant of the aforementioned 16 sections ! That is pretty massive. Really with this piece of hardware, a mic, and a keyboard (Minifreak here), I'm confident won't be looking for new hardware anymore. Which hasn't happened before. Before I was constantly thinking : then I'll need this, or that, in a few months/years... EDIT : btw, there are useful shortcuts for drums ! SEQ+step : add ratchets. Track button+step : add a soft strike. (hit several times for different values)

I am listening on my studio monitors (Equators....not the best, but better than the Guitar Center lot). I can never hear "bass" tracks, unless they're pitched up....thats KZbin, I get it. During your "style" demo, I could BARELY make out the differences because the tone you chose was too mellow. Not trying to complain, but just some advice moving forward.

Yes better use a controller midi with it to play melo And you can show how to use the others functions : exemples a mixer with several synth …The MV1 is powerful thing …

GREAT Vid ……… having seen most of the ‘Beginner’ vids, I love the way this one ‘short-cuts’ the inner workings/details of this machine ……..& just gives you a confident “Quick start” guide Once mastered, it will enable an , for me, easier Learning process of its more advanced features. Thank you 👍👍👍

Thanks so much :)

It's interesting how similar and different it is to the MC-101 simultaneously.

[@krazywabbit]

I don't need this but it would be right up my alley. Thank you for doing this.

im wonering, do you know, are the 808 sounds on the Verselab the same analog circuit modelling 808 sounds on the TR-6S?.. and im wondering, what about the boutique 808? seems kinda weird to buy a TR-6S if thyre the same exact sounds..

[@ShankatsuForte]

I've had one of these since october and I still can't decide if I hate it or not. The sounds are really great, but the packs feel relatively expensive, and I'm dumb so I have no idea how to make anything longer then one bar. I'm commenting before watching so maybe you figured that part out. I got it with my SP404 and my Microfreak cause I figured between the three i'd be making heat

Great Video! When I can afford it, I’m gonna have such a hard time deciding between this and the MC-101 and 707-series!

[@TrickmanTerry]

Very interesting to see that the workflow on the Verselab is very similar to the MC-101. There are subtle differences, but now I see if you put a Verselab in front of me, I'd be able to figure out the basics in no time. Looks like a fun and intuitive instrument.

I love my MV1. If you ever have your hands on the Micromonsta 2 and you could make a tutorial like this for it 🙏 no one has ever made a video tutorial for it curiously, not even Audiothingies.

[@vertigev]

This is really underrated. Love that they added Undo and Redo

[@raulgorgulio9834]

Thank you for the tutorial, it looks like that dedicated step sequencer buttons make a huge difference and because of that the MV-1 has a way more simple workflow than the MC-101. I'm planning to make a revision of my gear and I think that the MV-1 might be a good item in a new setup.

[@vidalongas]

I need it… 😭

[@FreeBeat]

It's definitely awesome, but don't let GAS take control!

[@mann-vom-mond]

Great video

The Style mode is lovely. I am not aware of another stand-alone groovebox with that feature. It's basically a melody generator/arp machine, which for me is super useful
