My simple home setup for the Drumbrute and Microkorg | Vlog 1

[@matthewparker2910]

Just subbed purely because how enthusiastic the first few seconds of this video were 😁

[@Argh0naut]

That's a valid reason 🥳

[@melomane]

Dude this is fantastic! I have these two machines and this is the best, clearest explanation of how to sync them. Thanks!!

[@romanonardelli-drummerforfun]

Simple but very good setup

[@Argh0naut]

It has improved quite a bit since then, as has the video quality 😆

[@KING7CANTONA]

Ik this comment is hella late, but is there anyway to be able to control the effects whilst playing the midikorg, or is it the simple sound and you cant get out of midi setting

[@Argh0naut]

The only thing the midi connection controls is the clock, so the effects are controled by the machines individually.

any ideas for minibrute 2 and drumbrute impact..to sync...dawless

[@Argh0naut]

Hi Darren, not sure for I do not have a minibrute 2, but I expect it to have midi, put a midi cable from the drumbrute midi out to the midi in of the minibrute. Or you could probably use a patch/minijack cable for the clock on the back of the drumbrute and put it into the clock sequencer of the minibrute2.

thanks for this video, great help :D

[@Argh0naut]

You're welcome!

[@melomane]

Will this same setup work keeping the two audio outputs separate? I’d rather have them separate for recording.

[@Argh0naut]

I made this video before I had a mixer, you can have the separate outputs, this won't be a problem. I now have an extra synth connected as well using the midi through. Might make another video for that.

this video gave me parkinsons

[@Argh0naut]

Thanks for watching though 😉

[@markmanter6508]

Can’t you just connect them via midi and do separate audio outs into your interface or mixer instead of passing the audio through the microkorg as well as midi? Doesn’t passing both the audio and midi apply and fx from the MicroKorg to whatever drum machine is running?

[@Argh0naut]

Four years ago I did not have a mixer or audio interface, nor a sequencers or any knowledge of video settings for stabilizing😅 So this is a simple setup for those who just started. Passing the drums through the microkorg can have some nice effects when using the vocoder effects filtering the drum sounds. Did a video with the same setup as well.

Hi, great video! im having trouble with syncing the microkorg to a roland tr 8s, here's my problem: The roland i use as master (midi out) to the korg (midi in/slave), so that the arpegiator of the korg follows the tempo of the roland. Everything is pretty perfect so far except although the arpegiator tempo is correct, half of the time it starts and stays off beat. How do i get the arpegiator to run perfectly on the beat, what am I doing wrong? Or is the microkorg simply "inaccurate" by design? Ps i tried matching midi channels but that makes the arpegiator glitch by playing notes i'm not even touching, so even worse. Any help would be greatly appreciated, thx!

[@Argh0naut]

Start by setting the midi from the korg to ext. That should be enough for the clock signal to sync. The arpegiator has some settings as well, Arp B and key sync, try to toggle that and see what happens. I think Key sync should be off to sync to the clock to be on beat. Hope that helps!

@@Argh0naut thx! i'll try that and let you know!
