MISTA - UNCUT MIXDOWN USING KORG EMX

www.surus.co.uk...
Playlist:
1 - Peshay - Piano Tune (EXM version)
2 - EMX - It Were Fine In 99
3 - EMX - It Were Great In 98
4 - EMX - It Were Heaven In 97
5 - EMX - It Were Sick In 96
6 - EMX - It Were Live In 95
7 - EMX - It Were Raw in 94
8 - EMX - It Were Free In 93
9 - EMX - I Was Into Guns n' Roses In 92. Thought Raves Were Just Local Circuses For Weird Older Kids.
So, a quick 15 minute demonstration of what's possible with a very basic 5-voice synth and drum machine. Straight out the back of it's stereo output into a portable recorder, driven a little to get the level sweet, muting and un-muting and effecting on-the-fly, techno-purist method.
dedicated to the ones like:
Peshay
Kemal
Reality
Optical
Nico
Dom
Keaton
Usual Suspects
and anyone else that was making that beautiful un-happy hardcore sound for the best New Years Eve party I ever went to in 1999/2000.
Blessings,
Mista

Probably the best groovebox video in the history of grooveboxes

[@PeaceLoveAndUnityy]

This 15 minute clip has more energy and flow than 98% of the shit out today.

[@nukage9000]

It's 2020 and I still come back to this video for inspiration for what kind of performance can be done with simple effects, a few patterns, and muting + unmuting tracks. There's so much beauty in the simplicity.

[@sungsamesong1139]

I had Kinda forgotten about Mista. Then got I-music, I've missed so much, guy blows me away! New tracks and sets are soooo sick.

[@roykilling2496]

Very strong performance by Bishi, this is not easy to do. The breaks, changes, mods, everything. The EMX doesn't come with a bank of supersaws and a thousand presets, it had raw waves and the ability to modulate between two oscillators in a variety of ways. NO polyphony per each of only 5 synth parts, save for the chord mode. This guy knows this unit like the back of his hand, great stuff.

[@bluespectralmonkey]

he's a UNIT

[@TWZT]

Respect dude, great performance / production skills. 1999 d&b was golden year indeed. Thanks !

[@LostThePlotSounds]

He has played on my sound system a couple of times at warehouse raves and let me tell you this: IT ROCKS!

[@johnsaunders6510]

I used to have Korg EMX. The ability and technique on display here is astonishing. I never got those sounds out of mine.

[@rephlexc]

I can't tell you how many times I listened to this one. And the track when you were sitting in a car jamming. Gives me chills every time.

[@MistabishiTV]

@Gmiester07 pay attention to what's happening. it's being recorded into an external tascam recorder. the audio from that was layered over the top of the video in iMovie. If you knew how to operate these machines, or knew anything about making music in general, you'd be able to see and hear precisely what's happening. Sorry but i can't help it if you're not aware enough to understand what you're looking and listening to.

[@louadmurphy2587]

Han cette tuerie c'est de très loin une des meilleures perfs que j'ai pu entendre jusqu'ici avec une seule emx1, incroyable.

[@albertrynkowski3599]

Oh my lord! İ keep coming back to this mix since it was released. Pure power!

[@djantix1200]

Using goggles to protect from DnB shrapnel flying out of the EMX! Mista Magic!

[@bonkoffzilla]

7:17 gives me goose bumps every time I hear it, raw!!!

[@Towly263]

back after 3 years and still love this shit!

[@albertrynkowski3599]

This is a gem and i still coming back for this mix. Man, so many years come by since it was released and it still holds the power!

[@flapb2069]

Bishi! Don’t ever let ANYBODY tell you how to think, cancel culture will always be a thing, but don’t EVER let em change you bro! There are more like minded people out there than you know. GWAN SON!!!!

[@immyvideo]

Best groovebox demo ever. Absolutely pushing the gear to its limits. Hot.

[@cellrok]

damn this is great!! had no clue emx can do all that. grabbed me at 3:59 and didn't let loose. lovely lovely beats there. much respect to you

[@halation777]

This is seriously the best thing I've heard in a while!!

[@TheNeedlefactory]

probably the best production iv heard from youtube/demo. Makes all the difference when people make the sonic effort and show what these machines are really capable off. FUCK YES!

[@ghfjfghjasdfasdf]

@ 9:35 Such an unorthodox rhythm! Love it!

[@albertrynkowski3599]

9:06 this is my favourite tune from this set. He nailed the sound of this device and gived us the classic raw power of the back in the days techstep music at one time. Hands down!

[@albertrynkowski3599]

ps square waves.

[@VIV_ID]

This is some of the best stuff I've heard recently! Big ups! And who cares about what happened in the past? This guy is (still) producing some sick sounding stuff, and that's all that matters. Keep it up, Mista!

[@ConenRuam]

Hey Mista, love the records you release, and the stuff you've done here shows how much you enjoy 'jamming', which is amazing fun, sitting at a PC for days on end can leave you feeling like you have no ideas. I can tell you have the same passion for the music (and it's top form in the 90's), much respect

[@Zemael]

Very skilled !!! Congratulations!

[@leewhite47]

Unless you know this kit then you won't have a clue what he's doing.. I have one of these and it takes talent to work this out like this. Great jam, I love this. Awsome.

[@JackstandJohnny]

Slick Absolutely. It takes the EMX working at 100% with no issues(pretty rare these days as they have inherent issues) and someone who has a very deep and experienced bond with the EMX to do what He is doing. Also it takes a lot of natural talent with drum machines that cant really be taught, only felt with very nuanced feedback from your hands, eyes and ears.

[@AngusAndBubba]

I CANT GET ENOUGH OF THIS MIX

[@MistabishiTV]

@andygaro1 no it's not, it's Piano Tune by Peshay. I programmed it in for fun.

[@MistabishiTV]

@choobist oops missed this amongst the drivel. just put the compressor as the last thing in the chain, and mix everything into it apart from the sub. it's also sometimes nice to leave a kick and snare layer out of the fx chain as well to get a slightly more open sound to things.

[@TTROPVNR]

incredible, true dnb vibe , my fav is 12.46 great job.

[@AepoK-]

This video saved my life ^^ ;p big up !!! excellent mastering -.-

[@fivefoflow]

@MistabishiTV Thank you very much. It's good to know that the emx-1 is capable of getting this sound, but at the same time it makes me realize how little I know about production. I'm glad you got your own youtube and are posting vids like this. I love watching people work with machines live and getting to see a pro like yourself working one of these machines is fantastic. thank you.

[@zamisers7k]

I love the hell out of this, have to listen to every so often and share with my peeps

[@tetsuoshima2314]

this is so sick, goddamn, impressive!

[@andrewbrown-qf7tx]

dude, seriously....WOW!!

[@SMARTIALARTS]

I guess it went wild in 89 but nobody was online ahah

[@MistabishiTV]

@fivefoflow no post-production other than normalizing to 0.00dbfs. Just put the compressor effect as the last thing in the fx chain and mix every sound into it until it sounds right. leave the sub out of the fx, and anything with too much low-end in it will cause ducking, which is desireable for certain things but not for others.

[@col8104]

Oh dude, you high my mind right now.

[@hostsofmichael]

The recorded video quality only enhances this

[@chasemaurice2691]

Amazing!

[@NGC1433]

I love this mix so much! And I'm not even into DnB... Listened to it to fall asleep and to wake up... It has so much depth both sonically and structurally. Great work! Thanks for sharing! I want to have EMX-1 so badly, it hurts. Pity they are still so expensive used and even more pity I have no skill nor talent to make anything on these things to be worth getting for me. But I guess I would play it till it falls apart. I like physical knobs and flashy lights, fuck daws! :D

[@Vapor-Fi]

2025 and still coming back! This captures a sound and a time...

[@fredojackson8589]

[@MistabishiTV]

You're just hearing Korg's architecture in Prodigy records.

[@Barefoot67]

@@MistabishiTV yeah, what "real synth" from Korg has the same type of synth engine as this? The ms 2000?

sounds dope i just dont want to imagine what u might do with two of those... really makes me want to get this nifty little box asap eventhough theres v2 out now ... kool stuff

sick skills! great stuff!

[@Silencebuster]

Insane! 👏

[@els1f]

Way to show what that thing can do!

[@onnolab]

Please upload a set like this with the new 2014 Electribe. You will sell tonnes for Korg

[@sawtooth808]

onnolab Do watch Sonic State's review of the 2014 Electribe. Mr. James Pullen (Mistabishi) does state he will indeed be doing sets like this when Korg releases the unit officially, he's said if he uses the electribe 2K14 to make material now it would be cheating, and a valid point is valid.

[@Karaon]

thats proper bangin

[@vinkerdoodles]

Back to the beginning of pure talent

[@MistabishiTV]

@cromlek different every time really. some tracks just made from individual samples from it plus other stuff, other tracks literally recorded straight out the back of this thing in one take then editted afterwards.

[@LOLiTsGeezuss]

Pretty Sic. Keep It Up man,

You know guys this is just mashing with a cd playing. Up for a dnb award this year though. New category...best young Gammon racist.

why not just use it as a sound module and then arrange your tracks in a DAW? Thats what I plan to do with the ONE I JUST GO TODAY, YEEEEEEEEEEEAH!!!

[@SINERGIK-RECORDS]

woah beast!!

[@pizzamangargatuloth4804]

Holy fuck this electribe jam is making my head explode!! Radical!!!!!!

[@cromlek]

awesome - i had two of those and an ESX all hooked up for a time and the results were ridiculous. Heavily underrated lil boxes. Love them. - I just wish KORG would amalgamate the two with 8 outputs - that would be a winner.

[@ArtFluids]

I wonder if you could do some stuff with the new Polyend tracker.

[@albertoalarcon404]

AWESOME

[@retrogazele]

hey..do you have a tutorial how to make build ups and how to switch between styles

[@onnolab]

Crazy skills. Watched this a few times over the years. So when are you making a jam video with the new E2?

[@MistabishiTV]

@cromlek yeh i'd love that. it's just not quite enough the EMX, and linking with the ESX makes thing slightly fiddly. They need to build the ultimate single box... one unit to rule them all!

[@JeanMartinNainggolan]

Are the songs all in presets? never heard some of them on my emx-1

[@D...Charger]

I also have a emx and yes hes re-programed the emx.You dont get these sounds or loops straight out the box.But shows you what the emx is capable of if you no how to program it.Mitsi makes it look easy when you and i no its not easy.

[@MattGreerMusic]

Presets? Are you serious?

[@d3dns1d3]

@Matt Greer haha. totally. put me on the waiting list for a groovebox with these presets!

[@MattGreerMusic]

+[ D3DNS1D3 ] SMH.. "presets" Honestly.

very cool mista

[@-kattya-]

this is sick!!! I love it!

[@TheKaniq94]

@MistabishiTV thats my big wish, too ^^ Should be big enough to include a sampler, a49 keyboard, drum pads, a touch pad and tons of knobs and fx :P my emx is cool too, but i need moar ! we will see what KORG will bring out on the NAMM 2012 on the 19-22 of January 2012

[@Synthematix]

this machine is still better than the electribe2

[@juliansanza6555]

Synthematix is it?

[@Synthematix]

Julian Sanza yes.

[@MistabishiTV]

It's "worse" for raw oldskool music I think, but it has a far more contemporary and modern sound than emx1

[@juliansanza6555]

just one more q: how do you get those bass sounds, samples or internal synthesis?

[@reallynaked]

Julian Sanza the emx doesn't allow you to load your own samples man so it's the sounds on the box

[@edwinanaya-j6g]

2024 and still sound ! we need more angry bass music !

[@christerharaldsson4852]

Jedi tricks!!! The build and drop @ 4:15 KILLS!!! A true craftsman that knows his tools

[@lookay682]

Haven't talked in a while. Do you think a new one in approaching us or not. I can't get over the old emx1s potential. Love ya and I hope all is well

[@MistabishiTV]

Electribe 2 is still a live product. You can expect Electribe 3 several years after the discontinuation of Electribe 2... yeh EMX1 is a bona-fide legendary sword now. Nothing quite sounds like it when it's used by itself you can hear it a mile off.

[@lbrown7164]

MV & EMX combo. I use a roland MV8000 to sequence my EMX since 16/32 steps is too rigid for my tastes. I want to use the MV for notes but the EMX motion sequence feature. Every time I try to record just the MOTION SEQ, the EMX is also recording the notes in from the MV. When I delete those note steps manually by unlighting the keys, it appears I also lose the motion sequence. PLEASE tell me there is some way around this. I love my EMX but the 16steps does NOT work for my swing. Other than this, I love my EMX when combined with sequencing & sampling on my MV. LBjr
