The fact that you do the bassline with the Microkorg and not with the Microbrute is strange because everyone knows the brute is a bassbeast !! It was my first real synth an I love it like on the first day ! Much love goes out from Germany
I like it, the micro is a bit loud and the bass line is a bit low and hard to hear out of the bass from the volca, but the performance is really good and well composed.
Thanks, glad you dig it! No problem, I've roughly got the following: Octave: +2 Sub overtone: 3 o'clock Pulse width: max Square wave: max Cutoff: max Resonance: max Brute factor: 9 o'clock Filter mode: low pass KBD: 12 o'clock LFO amount: max LFO rate: 10 o'clock LFO wave: triangle VCA Env amt: max VCA: Env A: 0 D: max S: max R: max Mod matrix: LFO -> PWM All other knobs should be at the minimum setting. I also have it outputting to a Kaosspad mini which adds reverb. To get the more "stuttering" 8-bit sound in the first half, just switch the LFO waveform from triangle to square, and increase the LFO rate
Thanks! It's been awhile but I'm pretty sure the microbrute went into a mini kaos pad 2 on a reverb setting, and a little additional reverb was added to the master track.
Sounds great! I have a Microbrute and was looking to expand on it. How is everything synced here? Does the Microkorg sync with anything or did you just match the bpm or the volca and the Microkorg?
Thanks man! I've got the Midi-out from the the Microkorg going into a Midi-thru splitter, and the Midi-thru splitter goes into both the Volca and Microbrute, which keeps them in sync with the Microkorg.
Very nice, good work, reminds me of Goblin. Sort of what I'm going for. One question....How did you get your Volca Beats snare to sound so good? I have one and the snare is just atrocious! Did you mix it with another sound or is it a mod?
Appreciate it, and Goblin is awesome :) I have my Volca Beats going into a multi effects pedal, which is adding a good bit of compression and a little reverb. I EQ'd it a little on the mixer too, but compression is definitely doing the most magic here.
+Arne Teubel MIDI cable between the two. Unfortunately only the tempo gets synced, so I like to start the MK arpeggiator first, then kick off the Volca on beat.
Nice tune, that lead keys sounds sweet on the microbrute, great stuff
yeah i stumbled upon it this morning. what a tune to wake up to.

Awesome! Super fun to listen to.
Keep coming back to this. Best use of a minimal set up. 11/10
That imaginary 80's movie was awesome thanks to the soundtrack!
Yeah! Must Share This awesome bit of retro brute goodness!
Great tune and arrangement! Putting a Microbrute on my must-buy list!
Nice, musical use of the minibrute, and you get bonus points for actually playing keyboard well, too!
Omg so stunning
This makes me want a Microbrute so bad! Great sounds man!
Hell yeah. This is super good. Kind of reminds me of Crystal Castles? a little haha. the effects on the voca beats are really bringing it to life.
Impressive what you're doing with just these three instruments!
This is brilliant. Looking for inspiration for a portfolio piece and this is just brilliant. Thanks for posting
wow great sound, I like the way you play live synth! really nice job ciao
Great performance drkluscious!. Greetings from Peru.

GReat stuff! Would sound right at home on the 'Hotline Miami' OST!
so good!
This is fantastic stuff, subbed! :)
this is awesome
Awesome!!
great jam man!
Loved it.
Great stuff! Would you be kind enough to share the settings for the sound from around 3 mins 40 seconds?
Thanks, glad you dig it! No problem, I've roughly got the following:
Octave: +2
Sub overtone: 3 o'clock
Pulse width: max
Square wave: max
Cutoff: max
Resonance: max
Brute factor: 9 o'clock
Filter mode: low pass
KBD: 12 o'clock
LFO amount: max
LFO rate: 10 o'clock
LFO wave: triangle
VCA Env amt: max
VCA: Env
A: 0
D: max
S: max
R: max
Mod matrix: LFO -> PWM
All other knobs should be at the minimum setting. I also have it outputting to a Kaosspad mini which adds reverb.
To get the more "stuttering" 8-bit sound in the first half, just switch the LFO waveform from triangle to square, and increase the LFO rate
drkluscious Ahhh, thanks man! My Micro died last night, but once I get it working again I'll try that out! Keep it up!
Excellent

Haha Love the description..I know that movie aswell.
I LOVE THUNDER FORCE ,,,,TEH BEST

Dope!
Can you tell me all the equipment that you use for this record? i like very much how it sounds.
It's in the title...
dude fucking awesome sound.
The microbrute sounds amazing in this. How did you make it sound like that?
nice sigh poster
I dig the way you are mixing this, using the ol' tascam and a field recorder. is that a zoom?
Looks like a Tascam DR-5
wooow muy bueno, saludos!
Sounds great, do you use any reverb on the microbrute?
Thanks! It's been awhile but I'm pretty sure the microbrute went into a mini kaos pad 2 on a reverb setting, and a little additional reverb was added to the master track.
outrun!

what scale is the song in?
SuperClau I believe D-minor
this is fucking sick dude
Is that a Sigh poster? I recognize the logo.
Yes! From the Imaginary Sonicscape boxset
Did you make the patch on the Microkorg? or is in one of the stock? Thats a great bass.
Love to know the patch settings for the microkorg?
This belongs in the trailer, for the also imaginary, Hotline Miami 3!
Wow.

+istkrieg If you can, put a sequence on midi channel 10 on the microkorg and send it to the volca.

Superb...! 😉
Ah... I found you again.
Are you recording this on a Tascam 414 4 track cassette recorder?
iamexodusnow I was using the Tascam 414 as a mixer, it's output went into the mic-in of a field recorder straight to an SD card.
do you use any external effects on the microkorg and the microbrute or is this the true sound
+Panos1980s I think there is a small amount of delay on the synth, maybe a bit of reverb
Ok thanks
miami vice bass:)
This guy doesn't fuck around.
Молодец good
So good!
