POV Tutorial: How to make classic early 90s Detroit Techno with Korg Volca FM, KeyStep, Roland TR-8

[@fauxleroid5222]

So much better than modern over produced DAW techno. The 90s were the greatest decade to be young and go to techno clubs. No mobile phones, just people into it with no distraction.

[@lovelost28]

DAW have so many tools at hand which make producing so overkill and usually set an unnecessary high standard for artist. Think hardware! In the old days so many people start with nothing but a bunch of machine plays together, no money for studio nor expensive processing unit. People have to make the most use out of what they have, live tweak on the go and improvise, that's why oldschool stuffs have this organic feeling to it (in my opinion) that make it a staple of the genre. Slight offbeat and out of sync in the modern age is a error, in the old days it's a feeling.

the drugs were better bro

I lived in the 90s and we had beepers, cell phones and the internet.

100% honest, zero time-wasting, nice one.

[@alfiekennedy1657]

The person talking in the background at 3:38 is perfectly on time

[@hdhehns]

it looks so simple when you know what you’re doing. i’d take ages to create anything that resembles this

[@hereasafanofallsorts5164]

Nice to see someone with all the gear who actually has an idea.... how to use them properly - this is great

[@jonison6847]

Thanks a lot for making the effort to make this - the annotations are a big help and take some of the mystery out of what it takes to do a great jam.

[@Erhalder]

[@Pitchplus8]

[@Erhalder]

[@ilumijaxxi]

Yeap , wizard stuff

[@jonathanyoung6397]

Well that was freaking awesome. Love how you give us a quick walkthrough first the. Just play your set. Really inspired me !

[@dmallegro613]

Music is simple and that inspires me as a very good example of simplicity. Jam is good enough. Descriptions are very educative! Thanks a lot for that!

[@xDIABOx]

And that is how a master works!!

[@teknomicron33]

Great track !! And most of all thanks for all your explanations during the creation of your track. It helps a lot to understand 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

[@spudess05]

Reminds me of sleeparchive

[@djflik]

This is a beautiful track. Great job. Great live performance

[@rizdraver]

Mills used a DX100 in a ton of his work. Not a surprise you can capture quite a decent Mills-vibe with the Volca!

[@jimmywheelo]

love it. Not only is it a tune and a half you have also shown us how you did it

[@cryptout]

I love it! great programming and performance!

[@tomvtroye]

[@seanthiel421]

Really inspiring, nice tutorial ! and i like your style, this one kind of makes me think of some Birmingham Techno ;)

[@strayferal9341]

Cool stuff! And I always wondered what it would be for the viewer to watch a POV set. I put my cameras static always. But I see it is not bad at all.

[@PerseusTraxx]

Gutted that I can only give this the one "thumbs up"

[@djflik]

Listing to this again as I have been many times. It’s just marvelous. When will it be on vinyl? Love this track.

[@monomakes]

Sounds great! Pity about the edit at about 6:22, I was paying attention to how you were going to return/ progress.

[@Erhalder]

thx! yeah sometimes you gotta have 3 hands :-) i probably removed 8 bars since the transition was not good.

[@abitpoet]

Volca Fm is the Beast! Great Jam!

[@michaelsolano8733]

This is so so good

[@thedeepblueskys]

Thanks, I was looking for inspiration to use this Volca FM I have, and sequencing it with the Keystep was the answer. I would like to also run it threw the SP 404 MKII when it arrives.

[@digitaly26]

[@dalilfae]

badass

[@demo_1]

Nice sequence, solid pattern, good arrangement; that makes this track groove! Amazing! One question: is there any compression used here, particularly on the tr-8?

[@JH-lo9ut]

Tr-8 has compression on kick and snare, both with their own designated knob. It sounds like there is some comp on the kick in this case. There is also sidechain built in to the tr-8, where you can route audio through the drummachine and apply side chain compression per step via the sequencer. Don't think he's using that feature in this video.

[@pawelnowak3828]

It has that dj Hell vibe

[@Popurakaji]

Wow ur cool dude just 3 machine not include midi lol so freaking flow Im dancing in my room like helll in covid-19 situation this dude really cure me And this sound so real Detroit techno Respect from Thailand take care dude

Do you find the Volca FM is really effortless to get these techno kind loops going?

If your interested in this sort of thing check out Blake Baxter's channel. He's in his home studio making music and dj'ing.
