The One Sound Techno Synth (Get Going Fast)

[@slavestudios47]

cracking stuff as always. love your hands on approach with the hardware. i have a M'Freak. the only synth i ever pre-ordered. amazing tool for all sorts of styles. Arturia support for this lil oddball has been superb.

[@AnalogKitchen]

Much appreciated! Yes I’ve been gassing for it for like forever and I’m hooked now! Thanks for watching

[@olegmusic881]

Nice one bro! Loving how you do it on the fly. And it shows how important sound design is. Thank you for the video

[@py_a_thon]

25:41 yep. That is the 32+ bar loop (that can be mixed and swizzled with tons of other sound, or flow into a new melodic motif.) Awesome as almost always. Good luck to you. Peace.

[@AnalogKitchen]

Thank u 🙏

[@pedrogomis]

great man

[@SolidtraxNL]

Great track and video as usual! The FM 2-OP is probably one of my favourite osc-types. Modal is good too, but the last ones introduced with Firmware/OS 5.0 are really dope! #kiss

[@AnalogKitchen]

Couldn't agree more! When it comes to grit I think the FM (if tuned correctly) can give you a lot. When detuned, it can go very experimental which can also be very cool for Atonal techno

[@SolidtraxNL]

@@AnalogKitchen Absolutely spot on!

[@noisevector]

Sounds great!

[@py_a_thon]

Delay THEN reverb is usually the optimal setup in my experience, because reverb is also essentially very high level delay + physical space modelling for "bounces". Or atleast that is how I think about it. Proper and simple delay is far more predictable. I'm sure it is possible to add delay after reverb, yet then you are probably enterring a realm where EQ functions and or side chain compression ducking is required to prevent frequency clutter. (Multichannel fx routing also works, yet that is usually not done often in dawless setups. Like you could split the signal and apply reverb to the lowend, and then delay only on the high end. Or whatever. That is like 'parallel fx routing' or something? Idk.)

-- Nice -- defo works ☝😎-- all about the sweet spots -

[@roajah]

Give us the kick!!! ❤

[@hesher2301]

Oh, man please explain more about this awesome fucking kick. How it is routed ? Do you use overdrive on octatrack filter?

[@alt3rnatywa]

Only it's not the kick itself. The kick itself doesn't do the trick. Only the introduction to the kick gives you that feeling. The balance between frequencies is important

[@jessinrodenburg7728]

it's probably due to the mixer, you can hear it with the effects alter as well, slight distortion

[@thelibrarian3734]

We used to over drive the bus on the Mackie mixer back in the day it’s a famous trick.

[@Clupea101]

Great stuff as always🎹🎛🎚

[@py_a_thon]

15:40 ish. Whenever I hear that sound I am so tempted to up the tail/release value on the filter and then use a very slight wobble on the LFO(with long attack). Basically it sounds like the same sound and then does a very subtle wohwuhweuh at the very end. Post-dubstep(or maybe where dubstep originated from) has ruined me lol.

[@cathalhex7948]

Joyous

[@falangistavaleroso9689]

I love the Microfreak, the sequencer is way similar to my 1993 first ever sequencer, Roland MC 202.

[@すぺすらたろう]

8:25 Sorry if this is a techno beginner's question. What is the trick that makes the sound like the horse chasing you after the kick described here? I've never been able to get this sound with my techno setup. I would like some advice on this trick.😢😢😢🎉🎉

[@sutorilaszlo512]

It is called "rolling bassline". There is a tons of video how to make it.

[@すぺすらたろう]

@ thanks so much. Gadget techno is not popular in Japan, so information is very valuable. Search for that word and study the rest on your own. thanks so much！

[@AnalogKitchen]

First of all there are no beginner techno questions so it’s good you ask and it’s great you’ve found me. Also I’d like to thank @sutorillaszo512 for pointing it out. I’d like to add this. There are very many ways to create ‘techno rumbles’ (as they are called). Sometimes I make my own. I have 3 tricks to offer here: 1. Try a delay fix on your kick and tweak. Less is more here. 2. Play a full 16th roll with the kick and lower it’s volume to 30% except for kick 1-5-9-13 3. Get a kick from a sample pack that is already done and dusted (like the one you hear on this video). Sometimes simple wins the race

[@AnalogKitchen]

And I will add that Learn2Play.Live is coming soon where all these tricks will be covered at length

[@すぺすらたろう]

@@AnalogKitchen Thank you for your comment. Your videos really explain techno in a fun way and are really helpful. I think you're the closest thing to Jeff Mills. I will continue to support you.📣📣🎉

[@ipainthouses3084]

Pas geleden me 1e hardware synth gekocht ( Gaia2 ) voor op me MPC . Had eerst mininova , maar dat is lastig om synthesis te leren , ivm menu diving

[@txetxubmx]

Really good video, as all of yours, if you have to choose one of this synths for tecno (labyrinth, dreadbox typhon, quadrantid swarm) to patch with the behringuer Edge and model cycles at drums, which would you choose? I could afford one now, then more. Thanks!!

[@pietrovavalle94]

Typhon

[@noisevector]

Depends what sound you're after I guess. It's all about taste, ease of use, functionality etc...

[@Mrs_Heyman]

Typhon is so sweet - the sequencer, the fx, it can be amazing for techno paired w behringer edge

[@py_a_thon]

That dude out of I think Berlin uses almost only a Juno synth for most of his keys. (TribalNeed is his handle I think?) The Juno synth is goated for sure, yet maybe kinda expensive. Honestly, most hardware or software has a place and a potentiality of sound and functionality. Especially when routed well or used with an FX daisy chain.

[@waynesilverman3048]

The 909 sample kick drum on the boss looper 505 is very fat mind u I put it through my guitar amp

[@AnalogKitchen]

Thanks for sharing!

[@averageXIAOHONGSHUenjoyer]

cisco and colin would be proud of you if they knew

[@py_a_thon]

I always half joke about how AK is kinda keeping i_o's memory alive. Not many modern artists currently understand how to create dark rave combined with trance and melodic techno. There is a very fine line between corny and awesome. Also: artists often get tunnel vision in one way or another. One of my favorite songs (deadmau5 - Strobe) was almost deleted, yet one of Joel's friends was like "nah bro...that is an amazing song". He got so much tunnel vision that he did not realize he had perhaps created the best song he ever could create.

[@averageXIAOHONGSHUenjoyer]

@@py_a_thon i m not referring to i_o but to "the advent" aka cisco ferreira and colin mcbean (aka mr. g)

[@py_a_thon]

@@averageXIAOHONGSHUenjoyer Music trends across time often tend to be derivatives of the past. We can often hear 1000 years in a few seconds if we listen to music closely enough.

[@py_a_thon]

@averageXIAOHONGSHUenjoyer Example: I just listened to Cisco Ferreira as per your suggestion, and in many ways a song of theirs from 1989 sounded very much like more "club friendly" form of aphex twin. Then again, aphex twin sometimes reminds me of 5000 years ago when humans were just chanting while hitting stones, rocks and animal skins stretched over hollowed out logs lol. If they were on shrooms lol. The reason I mention i_o is because he loved those sample or synth based rave chords. That still sounds great when played properly. And AK also often uses that style + rotterdam style.

[@averageXIAOHONGSHUenjoyer]

@@py_a_thon listen to his old 1999/2001 live set at mayday germany, the german music TV VIVA has a great video...

[@alt3rnatywa]

Prograssive house ( underground Techno ) .After one 😅

[@ozzy3ml]

Your voice is distorting, hard to listen to even if I want to

[@AnalogKitchen]

Sounds like my voice is trying to join the techno party a bit too hard! I'll tune it down for the next video!
