Thanks! Yes I hear ya. I also used to bring a lot of stuff. But recently I’m trying to do more with less. Tough battle though, trying to conquer GAS

[@themarrowmusic]

Hey Lucien, what I would find really interesting is how you preproduce your stuff like all the earcandy that's going on and where exactly you place the oneshots and atmospheres in a song. Is struggle with that a lot.

[@AnalogKitchen]

I will keep that in mind for a future video. It has been asked before so I'll work it in. Thanks for the suggestion

[@dgebossa]

A question for you Lucien. When I do midi learn with MPC for the faders uiding volume on the midi mix. Kick, OHH, CHH, SHAKER... I have an issue with the maximum range of the fader. IT Make the sound always go over 0 DB. When I push it to max range from zero. I cannot find the average setting for my track sound to keep my setting volume. I’m not sure my inglish level makes this very clear :-(

[@AnalogKitchen]

I know. You have to make sure you level the pads out as well. And check which volume you map out. There are 2 different levels. I think (of the top of my head) the pads of the tracks are different. I use the midi volume. I will check

I which I can do more but unfortunately like a lot of people right now, i have some issues. I have been arrested last week cause to a corrupted judge and because i’m fighting to have my kids back. But it’s another subject. Doing music and learning just help me to free my mind. I started dawless a year ago. Before I just played the bass. Any way i’m learning and you help me on the process. The vid from today was exactly the point I was working on. Not satisfied by my transitions and the balance of my song parts. You can check my SoundCloud when you have time: soundcloud.app.goo.gl/nRP7rcrHxzaAxg2D6 I don’t know what’s Discord is !! But i’ll check.

[@LukezyM]

What do you like about the Micromonsta? Thinking about getting it.

[@AnalogKitchen]

Hey @-VitaminX. I’ve got a love hate relationship with the thing. And since it’s a bit digital sounding, I prefer to have it run ‘earcandy’ like pads and arps for which I don’t want to sacrifice heavier machinery. Also it’s polyphonic which is handy. I didn’t manage to get it to play sounds that could ‘carry’ a track. Not like the tetra or moogs can

[@LukezyM]

@@AnalogKitchen Interesting. Mk2 came out just recently, I wonder if they improved on it. Looks cool, small, plenty of polyphony and it’s cheap, that’s what’s drawing me in🙂

[@AnalogKitchen]

Hey Adam. Thanks for viewing! Look for chroma caps!

[@apmcwalters]

@@AnalogKitchen Cheers. I thought it likely that you got them from there. Is there a particular size? Also - I'm reassured by your use of 8 patterns per track. I try to do the same with my live set with an Octatrack and Rytm. Do you have a particular designated breakdown pattern? I have bounced between doing it manually live or having a designated pattern that drops. Still unsure what is the best way to go.

[@AnalogKitchen]

It’s easier than that. Your breakdown pattern is either your first pattern without the kick and a lead line or a lead separately. I make my first pattern full with all I need and dilute and filter everything out that I need later on. On Patreon I give out AMA’s or personal t&t’s if you want to take things up to the next level

[@Bezz_Jeens]

Hey Lucien! You mention setting up a MIDI message on the MPC that allows you to make sure the Octatrack doesn't get the program change right at the bar, because it will cycle through again before changing. I'm having the same issue with sending PC to Elektron gear, can you give a bit more detail on the technique you're using? Are you just sending the program change right before the bar change and trying to have the OT change patterns at the same time?

[@AnalogKitchen]

It only works on the Octatrack though, it doesn't work on the Digitakt/Digitone. Check the Octatrack manual page 137 and look for cc msgs: 33, 34 and 35. In the MPC you have to place both notes on the Midi note page. If your sequence runs for 4 bars, place note 35 on measure 1.1.0 and place note 34 on 1.5.0. That way you're tricking the Octatrack to stop and restart at the same time, hence it jumping to whatever program cc you have set the MPC sequence to.

[@Fac-i1k]

Seems so easy! Nice grooves!

[@AnalogKitchen]

Thanks for checking!

[@stefan3112]

You use the multiclock to start a certain group of instruments (midi devices), right? And for different speed, for example slow down TD 03 ?

[@AnalogKitchen]

Well, I do not want things to go out of sync. It's the other way around. If things are off beat, the multiclock get them in time. Similar to the pitch on a cdj if you will

[@stefan3112]

@@AnalogKitchen ok, thanks. For me the question is: Do I need a multiclock? What you described is the masterclock, isn't it? Could the MPC not be the masterclock? Or are sequencers, as well as the MPC too little stable?

[@AnalogKitchen]

@@stefan3112 hi Stefan. I don’t know if you need need. A multiclock. I mean of course the mpc, Octatrack or whatever you choose can be a master. I just don’t like that some machines have midi lag. So I want to have control over how midi behaves. An mpc has a digital processor to calculate sync. A TR909 works differently so they don’t align 100% tight. So if you can spare the cash, go for it. If you only have 3 boxes, then probably no. Anything that needs to lead, I’ll stich on another midi stream. Check out my other videos on syncing and workflow. I think they’ll help you out

[@stefan3112]

@@AnalogKitchen Yes, I will do so, thanks!

@@AnalogKitchen 192khz hi res

[@The_Sonic_Ally]

pls explain your program changes man ?, you mention using them at the end ? how does that work with your loops though ? i`ve seen separate tracks used in DAW`s for program changes to ext synths for convenience. but how is it done with mpc properly, none of it makes sense unless its not fully developed yet or im really missing the way to use it.

[@AnalogKitchen]

Look up midi cc 34 and 35 in the Octa manual Alistar, you'll be surprised! ;)

[@The_Sonic_Ally]

@@AnalogKitchen ok i will have a look at that but i dont have an octo per say. i remember once you said you had to deep dive that shit to work it out etc so i figure this is the octo`s control changes abbility. just trying to get them to work with a deepmind 6, i know i can list edit insert them at the start of a track. but its bad man, having at the end interests me, but having to make space as a limitation in the track to cover the program change and then start the midi doesnt. i dont presently use song or sequence function as ive not enough content to mix in that way maybe the key is only allowing a sequence change to invoke a program change. sorry for lots of words, but it needs it.

[@AnalogKitchen]

The question came up somewhere up the comment ladder Ali. I’ve posted a vid that I’ve done on the subject

[@pepejul]

Thanks for the video, good stuff! I subscribed. I'm not understanding the advantage of using the multiclock in your setup. Does it allows different tempo on devices or is it just for precisely syncing clocks?

[@AnalogKitchen]

Thanks for the sub! I have the clock as a means of safety. If everything was routed to say my MPC and it acted up, it would mean that the whole set would stop. As with a regular dj set, if one cdj broke down it wouldn't be the end of the music. So yes, it's a safety measure. But also, if you work with different midi boxes from different time zones, you just can't rely on them. You WILL encounter timing issues and that... We don't want!

[@gasparlucas92]

its not clear for me the way you change patterns. Do you change it all using the akai as a brain to send program change to all gear at same time or octatrack? Learning a lot with your content. Really great!

[@AnalogKitchen]

Thanks for watching. The MPC is the brain and the octa switches by getting program change ;)

[@ArkbLT]

Man, that track is already a classic! 🙌 And i have a question about the reset of the Minitaur when you change the pattern on the MPC: When you sculpt the sound on the Minitaur turning knobs to certain values, are those values stored on the MPC? Thanks!!

[@AnalogKitchen]

It can be if you Midi map it via USB as well. However, when a sequence starts, it tells the Moog where it needs to go and what to play. So everything starts over again. So if you build a filter up. You need to be smart about it. I have multiple instances of the same sound saved so that if I go up with a sound. The next sequence will nog screw up my flavor

[@ArkbLT]

@@AnalogKitchen That’s very cleaver! I’m asking you this because when i play with the JX-03 mapped on the Digitakt, every time I switch from one pattern to another the sound on the JX resets or it takes the values i stored for the last time on the DT. Thanks brother!!

[@stefan3112]

@@AnalogKitchen Fixed filter is a great help. But I think I still have not understood :( Usually the sequenzer sends note value and gate value. Some send velocity (Beatstep). How do you send the filter value to the moog? Via velocity? I solved this with a second track and cv out -> cutoff cv in. But you did it via midi. This is more comfotable. But how????

[@TheInterGalacticFederation]

"without further ado" is correct. i like your editing and presenting style - be yourself! Your enthusiasm is fun to watch, and this video is really helpful. Are you still using the Allen & Heath Xone 92 Mixer here? - it looks like Presonus AR12?

[@AnalogKitchen]

From your name alone I’m almost inclined to request abduction:) Thanks for watching. I’m using a L12zoom mixer as I wrecked my Xone psu. So since I have more inputs, I’m using them (as it always goes). The setup is however aimed at using a Xone for live shows. I’m in the process of developing and building my own mixer though..

[@TheInterGalacticFederation]

the real adventure is here on earth. Will be interesting to follow the mixer build. Did you overload the inputs of the Xone?

[@AnalogKitchen]

Nah, it appears to be a classic psu problem. The give out from time to time. And with the corona bullcrap, parts are hard to come by

[@TheMrDoliprane]

Dawless live here too... and yeah, the big struggle is transition beteween patterns... as i understand from your demo, you use multiple sequences for a "song" (not song mode, just.. song) and have "transition sequences" on the mpc and the gear with sequencers.. but doesn't it forces you to prepare by advance the order you want to chain your live ? For a more DJ approch i treat a "block" of many songs in an unique sequence, using a main track with clip engine, and the others tracks as midi to synth or one shot samples. so yeah I have a ton of tracks to manage, as i have a separate track for each midi pattern, and i have to be careful to ony have one track playing one synth at the time. But it permit me to change tracks on the fly depending on the atmosphere and inspiration. Is probably not the best way, i'll dig your method to see, but i don't have an octatrack, only an mpc, so maybe it's what's lacking for better transitions.

[@AnalogKitchen]

It’s never the gear though, it’s the approach. If you leave room for stuff you may add like drum rolls, lead lines that you can play or empty tracks that you can arm and record stuff into, it’ll be a lot more interactive. The drops need to be spot on the bollox though. There I make sure all you hear is punching u on the chin

[@guynamederik]

Too bad hardware is so expensive. I've gotten some equipment but the prices are just too much even for simple needs. I'm almost regretting my hardware purchases .

Is it though? I think 300 bucks for a Model D opposed to a vintage Moog Model D for 8999,- or a vintage Jup-8 for 21.600,- I really think you can get a decent working setup for a reasonable price Eric.

[@CockatooDude]

@@AnalogKitchen As a counterpoint, I've got over 10 synths I use in my DAW and they were all free, as was the DAW. I do have hardware synths, but it's undeniable that softsynths are a better value, even if they aren't nearly as fun to play with.
