@@AlexBallMusic I believe before they made music with synths they played in a 4 piece band, would explain why they decided to explorer a synth through a popular pedal.
Oh man I couldn’t be more excited. I just got an actual JUNO-6 and have the same BOSS distortion pedal in the video!! It’s not often you have exact equipment as the tutorial. Keep on rocking these are great videos!
It’s hard to believe that the chap who did ‘My Computer Is A 1950’s Orchestra’, also produces these type of tutorials! An extremely versatile fellow I’d say! 👍
ugh, this synth sound is one of my absolute _favorites_ . Coming out of a rock "phase" at the time and getting into electronic music via Daft Punk, this track resonated with me like no other. Same thing with Justice and the whole _Cross_ album! Anyone else have a similar experience/connection?
I was primarily a metal guy for years, but then I got shown Pendulum and that instantly resonated with me, especially songs like Witchcraft, Crush & Self vs. Self. Now that sort of electronic rock is a huge part of what I listen to.
@@XLRider2 heh, that reminds me one guy in my secondary school went on and on about how _Witchcraft_ wasn’t a ~real~ metal song, to some other guy whose fave Pendulum track was that. I tend to prefer more melodic synthy stuff from them though like _The Island(s),The Other Side, Driver, Come Alive._
Funnily enough I love _Cross_ the album, and all these such tracks from Daft Punk _(Aerodynamic_ also) but never really listened to much metal myself. I’d heard a bit of classic stuff like Black Sabbath but didn’t consider myself a metal fan like I definitely did an electronic music fan. But I can see the resemblance for sure. I do love all the distortion they play with in _Cross,_ it’s a sensory feast, but I just never made the link to metal!
@@kaitlyn__L What's funny is that those weren't even the songs that I was shown first that got me hooked on Pendulum. I heard The Island - Part 1 and Watercolour before I heard Witchcraft. I think my most played Pendulum song nowadays has been 9000 Miles... I just love me some phenomenal chill D&B vibes. Although I was completely obsessed with Come Alive when it came out, that track is amazing.
no digital equipment these days will be able to reproduce the sound of the music as strident as it was made by accident, it is the noise of the connection of the cable of the turntable to Thomas which was sampled and looped during a concert.
Guitar distortion pedals are the secret to most hard acid and abrasive synthlines. Funny that you mention the technique is like something newbie teenagers would do when Thomas and Guy-Manuel were teenagers (who probably didn't know what they were doing most of the time) when they recorded and released Homework. It's such a raw and powerful album specifically because it's so basic and minimalist. Most people consider the overly long tracks like Rollin' & Scratchin and Rock 'n Roll to be filler.
Filler? I hardly know 'er! Seriously though, Rollin and Scatchin is my favorite Daft Punk song by far. I suppose it's because, prior to getting into electronic music via Daft Punk, i was really into rock music. So this song in particular just struck a familiar cord with me. It's aggressive and so in your face. To any casual listener, it might be annoying as shit, but it makes me so hype. I fell in love with it from the beginning. It resonated with me the same way punk rock music clicked with me when i first heard it
They were young for sure, early 20s. However, they certainly did know what they were doing as they would not have created such an amazing album. Not to mention, the album is not at all "basic and minimalist". Every single track is different and represent a certain part of Daft Punk, from acid-house, techno to disco and funk. It only looks basic to people who think that you can accidentally create an electronic masterpiece by pushing buttons. Also, not sure who those "most people" are but people who listened to Daft Punk in 90s were fascinated with both Rolling and Scratching and Rock and Roll.
in the caustic app i use a bassline and the effects i use is an distortion and octaver and it sounds more like a live version more than a normal version
By the way, just as a side note: another reason to use the bender instead of the VCF FREQ controller to control the cut off frequency on a Juno-106 is, that the controller has steps (sometimes quite audible), while controlling it by the bender this is not the case.
Interesting. I imagine they do the bender via midi on the original. There's a clip of him doing it live, and although it's blurry, he's just moving a slider on the far left. Not sure if it's filter amount or DCO. But either way, the mod wheel must be automated as he's not touching it.
In the Daft Punk unchained documentary, it is said by Todd Edwards himself that the sound of Rollin' & Scratchin' was created by the violent buzz of the cord when you plug it out of whatever mixer you're using. I don't know if it's true but it's interesting.
Think he might be telling a story for effect there. There's video footage of them using a Juno-106 to make the sound live. There's a really good clip where someone filmed them from a balcony above and you can watch Thomas performing it. I'll have to find the video. But then live and studio are often not the same thing, so I guess it's not impossible. Just unlikely.
@@AlexBallMusic After a year of thinking about this I've come to the conclusion that it is from a buzzing noise. In the Even Further Wisconsin footage from 1996 the track starts with a buzzing that eventually gets cut out. I think it's kind of the same with the Soiree Prophecy version from Carros Egypt in 1995. I could be wrong but I really want to believe it's from a mixer's buzzing noise.
@@AlexBallMusic th-cam.com/video/QiWpWpv8-lE/w-d-xo.html I also found this. Where the thumbnail says "no Juno" I'm pretty sure these versions are the ones performed live before the Mayan show (which has the overhead footage of the Juno) Edit: after further examination the video explains things in the description.
whatch what you say there! There is a whole metal subgenre based on this pedal with all settings on max ^^ Thanks! Not enough synth pedal pairing movies out there, really considering a KMA wurm, a HM2 clone :)

@@lorieummusic it was a synth, if you watch the Mayan Theatre 1997 live set they get some great shots of Guy-Man playing the intro on a synth, not a guitar
My 106 pretty much nails the sound without the pedal .. but my HM2 pedal kind of obliterates the sound, and not in a good way.. cranked all 4 knobs up all the way to the right, like in the video. My pedal might be broken lol :)
Great video! so close from the original ! Could you please tell if you are using some DI, reamp pedal or preamp in the chain between the synth, the guitar pedal or your soundcard ? thanks
One sound is definitely the robot preset on the Roland VP9000 and I think someone has actually already done that tutorial on TH-cam. The others are probably the Roland VP-330 or the Korg VC-10 as they're the classic vocoders and they tend to use classic gear.
isn't the HM2 the "pedal with only one good setting"? All knobs maxed out. I think jhs pedals made a clone of it without knobs because they are set fix to max.
@@Dinklebob well for starters. You don't use and notes. You just have any one key played through out the sound. You then modulate that key using the filter and pitch. Not the pitch wheel. It's been along time since I did it but I know definitely that's not how it's done. I had a 106 but they're exactly the same.
Hi. I don't quite follow your explanation. On the original recording, it alternates between two Ab notes in adjacent octaves. The filter moves by varying amounts, but those notes are consistent.

You could also recreate the synth from burnin if you adjust the envelope on the VCF and the filter, with the hm2

Ooh Aura Rock now I'd love to see that.

Omg, why don't more synths have pitchbender routable to VCF? That's a freakin' awesome idea. Especially for synths that don't have dedicated MODWHEEL.
Rolling and scratching was made on a roland tb 303 (I think so anyway)here's how to recreate it: c1 5x c1 up 2x c1 4x c1 up 5x

They actually used Boss MT-2 Metal Zone
Quite possibly. Similar effect.
Not sure, the MT-2 isn't as harsh sounding, and doesn't scream that much on the high frequencies like the HM-2 does
Is it possible to use the Big Muff for a distortion effect similar to the MT-2 Metal Zone or not?
@@sunamrots9954 They used MT-2, it's confirmed. And you can recreate the sound digitally and it's much more similar that with HM-2
