Roygbiv Bass for MicroKorg (Boards of Canada Tutorial)

[@chiilcov]

Rest in peace Lukah. Really enjoyed the video. Great work

[@babardan6179]

you can't imagine how much informative this is, I've been wanting to really get into synth patch-making but I couldn't find any video that would allow me to comprehend what dynamics matter more. you do this brilliantly, thank you

[@crtzmo]

Really interesting -- these details are GOLD. Thanks very much!

[@dm3437]

Not many KZbin videos can give give me the chills. Thank you Ian

[@tipsydog3]

Your Roygbiv video was one of my favorites. I watched it or listened to it a million times.

[@duncanarcher2626]

You all probably dont care but does someone know a trick to log back into an Instagram account?? I stupidly forgot the login password. I appreciate any assistance you can give me!

@Duncan Archer Instablaster =)

[@duncanarcher2626]

@Royal Makai I really appreciate your reply. I got to the site thru google and im waiting for the hacking stuff atm. I see it takes quite some time so I will reply here later when my account password hopefully is recovered.

[@duncanarcher2626]

@Royal Makai it did the trick and I actually got access to my account again. I'm so happy! Thanks so much you saved my account :D

[@royalmakai4956]

@Duncan Archer You are welcome =)

Amazing video, subscribed. Just grabbed a Microkorg last week and love seeing how versatile it is. Somehow it’s just an absolute monster. Sounds better than anything else I’ve owned to my ear and I’ve owned a lot of synths. It just has a charm about it when used properly.

[@leeartlee915]

I know ROYGBIV is an insanely simple song but it appeals to me in a way most songs just don’t. That thing BoC was striving for, the feeing of being a child, is somehow captured in that track. Easily a top 5 track of mine, all time.

[@ChristianPixtun]

I loved all the Roygbiv videos and thank you for the information to recreate the best sound possible to the song. As a note, I ran the the bass into a MonoPoly, and something that helps it sound very very BoC bass is to lower the cutoff a bit more, and the bass will sound more fatter and crisper, and in that is the sweet spot. Thank you again and keep playing!! And send my salutations to the 🐈!

[@IanFelpel]

Thanks for watching Christian! Looking back at it, I definitely think the cutoff could be lowered more, so thanks for that note! Glad to see people are still passionate about this timeless sound.

[@bassplayer6605]

I am just learning my Microkorg S and I appreciate the indepth explainations and the settings in the lower left of the video.

[@coreythejames]

Awesome tutorial! Just saved it into my MicroKorg! Thanks so much!

[@bluenitriletouch2842]

You are a god amongst men for this.

[@evertmeurs]

This video was great! You really can explain very good and it helps me understand the synth more. Thank you!

[@alexandrenempon3113]

Glad to see you are back with a new video! Hope the next will be out soon :-)

[@IanFelpel]

Thanks Alexandre! Yes, I'm going to be making more, and it shouldn't take another two years to wait for the next one. Good to be hearing from you again!

[@marioduenasmusic]

You are an excellent sound designer. I greatly appreciated your MicroKorg videos and perspectives. Keep up your awesome work.

[@joubinzargarbashi6545]

very educational regardless of the created sound. which was also nice!

[@scottk3292]

I applaud your use of the flanger as a chorus. I used to use that at very low recycle frequency for the destructive interference for my guitar with my old Ross flanger, before it somehow cooked itself. I've never yet seen another hardware flanger that can go that low in the recycle rate, but if the micro-korg can then that's really cool. The best I've achieved is using U-he Colour Copy. Funny thing is that after I set the knobs right to get that shimmer for the low notes of an E chord, I could then play anywhere on the neck, and it sounded amazing!

[@AndresRose]

A Man who loves Boards Of Canada. Is a god among us. And Is amazing. And i hope you have an amazing day!

[@spindal_1]

This is totally awesome 😎 Thanks man. Killer sound, killer explanation 🙌🏻

[@danieltwinn-waters3629]

Nicely Done. I imagine the technical info here would more very helpful to other producers.I enjoyed hearing it come more and more to life as you went on.

[@IanFelpel]

Thanks Dan! Yeah, I kind of went all out with the technical stuff, but it’s definitely satisfying to go through each step of the process, and hear the sound being molded into shape. Thanks again for checking the video out!

[@gimmiethejuice]

Before playing this video, I made some guesses as to how this sound came together - and turns out my guesses were right, even the filter! It's a lot like the Stranger Things bass on the Juno 106 (60 ? ). By the way, the old Roland keyboards have a secret regarding that sub oscillator square wave: It's out of phase with the other oscillators (especially the saw) by a specific amount and that's how you get that throaty James Hetfield buzz. Very few VST synths get this right. FL Studio Sytrus and TAL Noisemaker have phase settings and the trick works. By happy chance, the Microkorg also has the oscillators out of phase the right way.

[@nowdatsfresh]

Fook ya man. Thanks for actually explaining what the tweaks do with visuals, high quality stuff.

[@thehside]

Excellent tutorial man! Thanks a lot for putting all that time and sharing all the detailed info

[@andreafloris3759]

i love you. I grew up with BoC, now I can start make music i love, thaaaanks a lot!

[@a.m.5953]

super helpful tutorial thank u!!

[@scottfarrell1906]

Loved it. Well done.

[@ishopatlidl]

How the hell do you have under 100k subs. Incredible video brother!!!

[@SIl_Ae]

you are fantastic teacher. thanks so so much!

[@SuperBenjames]

Hey 👋🏻 great sounds you are getting from the Korg. I think I remember seeing an earlier vid you did complaining about the new iPhones having no 1/8 headphone jack. I ended up getting a little $2 adapter to be able to use it with the new phones. Keep up the awesomeness, Ben James

[@nevermindsleep]

This was awesome, I followed it using the Novation Circuit instead and it still came out great.

[@IanFelpel]

Awesome! I’ve been wanting to get my hands on a Circuit, so I’m glad to know it can be done on one. Thanks again for watching!

[@JOHNCONNOR19840]

You’ve got good taste mate 👍😎✨

[@melodaddies8137]

Nice tutorial dude

[@CryptoWhaleRider]

[@gabrielgabe6949]

You are awesome! thank you! Can you do Tobacco or BMSR at all?

[@shadecory]

Perfect deconstruction!

[@bluebeamproject444]

You are a synth god

[@andrepamplonah]

[@rolanddevis1563]

Thanxs m8

[@DrumrDrew]

Can the microkorg replicate the sound of a Fender precision string bass guitar?

[@wroclawfotolog]

Lukah is now playing it behind the rainbow bridge 🌈

[@Sadsoft]

Thanks

[@HectorBadillaOfficial]

I thought you were talking about the TMBG song 😭

[@peterfuzz3887]

what notes are played ?!!

[@cabrammstein]

Could u make a cover of ''Chipzel - focus'', ''Wanderflux - Pixel Dust'' or ''Crystal Castles - Reckless''?

[@IanFelpel]

I haven’t heard Crystal Castles in a LONG time, but that would be fun! I’ll look into the other songs you mentioned too. 👍

[@cabrammstein]

@@IanFelpel Ty so much!
