No worries glad it gave you some inspiration. When they opened up the synth engine with the last update it was a gift. It is so powerful and just takes this box to another level.
The concept of alternating between timbres using an LFO that are separated by an interval can apply to a lot of synths and is a little bit mind blowing.
Didn’t realise you had a 101 Doc. Will watch this avidly. Just bought the 101 for ‘forest work’, ‘wasteland ambience’ and general Deep Topographic resonance’s !!! Cheers for the vid.
Yep, got it about a year ago when my Samples was at the Synth Hospital. Really powerful box and there are some cunning little tricks you can pull to get a bit of generative music from it.
Oh man I really appreciate how do you bring all this value in this video and all the time and effort you put into this just for us I really appreciate it because I think this gear is so amazing thank you very much
No worries my man. I'm just glad people find it useful and when I can I like to share what I have picked up. Thanks for the thanks, I appreciate you too.
@@DocBolus please do more MC-101 vids, even if its another pad haha! very enjoyable, plus love people showing off the power of this little gem. Would love to see you do some generative stuff using synths!
@@NeoLudditevisons Will have a go at generative stuff with the synths, but actually the tone tracks are not as well suited to the generative stuff as the rhythm tracks are. If you are interested in generative stuff from the MC-101 check out this channel th-cam.com/channels/P0GS976iVD9RwswksqfdHQ.html Each track is 10+ hours of generative sounds from an MC-101
I see no reason why not, they would both be pitched and I don't think you could create an actual kit with this, so it would just be a heavy thumping bass tone.
You seem to be very skilled in sound design. Since this machine has a Zencore sound engine, what kind of limitations do you see when using the MC-101 compared to other synths available on the market, Zenology Pro or MC-707? Thank you.
I think the implementation on the 101 is more limited than on the 707 or Zenology. Saving and loading patches is also a bit of a faf, in that you have to do a workaround using clip loading.
You can't save the sound as a preset but you can save the individual clip that you have created the sound on and then reload the clip when you want to use that sound.
@@DocBolus thanks enormously! Can I save just the clip without its whole project? PS your dub vibes vid is amazing, you make the machine sing very organically, I feel many people (even those who actually do write nice melodies) have no concern about frequency blending and balance.
@@RosssRoyce yep you can save a clip on it's own. I can't remember right now how to do it but I will try and include the clip saving in my next 101 vid
It’s portable but I sort of wish it had a speaker.. but it’s still my most expensive buy this year and I have no regret( I had 2 litres of cider last night and started resetting stuff etc , I hope factory reset hasn’t changed anything..’ and I’ve a slight misty memory of a nice tune with my tr6s last night … very late night changing notes n stuff .. I can already tell that it’s going to be fairly straightforward but a hell of a lot to remember
It's a good box and it is pretty straightforward. It's the machine I dreamed of in the early 2000's when I started messing about with this stuff and the synth engine will play samples too so there is an extra layer of warped mangled insanity available if you want it.
Love your videos, very informative. I'm having a bit of a problem. How do I save my patches once I have dialed in a sound I like?!? And can I name then so I can find them later?
That's the drawback. You have to save patches as clips which makes it a bit more tricky as you cannot write a line and then flick between your own patches to find one you like. You need to load a stored clip which has the patch sound attached to it and then write the line.
@@andersbostrom3745 Hold down shift and press the clip button to get to clip edit, then scroll to clip save, change the name and press save by pressing the value dial in. I may try and make a short showing this, but bear with me as my rate of production is almost non existent at the moment.
I was about to sell my MC-101 but this video gave me another chance with this machine. Very cool stuff! Thanks for the tutorial!

@@DocBolus ikr!!!

It is a bit of a game changer and you can get some nice expressive tones with it. Thanks for watching.
I'm dangerously close to learning something here... 🙂
Careful Steve, that's something I try and avoid😄
Actually a well explained video for the 1.8 update
Thanks so much. I was really getting frustrated everytime I attempted any sound creation. This nudged me a lot in the right direction. Cheers Doc!
No worries, glad it helped and I think the key is to work step by step and keep it all very simple.

Brilliant tutorial! Thank you. With this format could you for example have a bass syth note layer a kick drum?
I see no reason why not, they would both be pitched and I don't think you could create an actual kit with this, so it would just be a heavy thumping bass tone.
This is great Doc - thanks!
No worries, glad you found it useful
Wonderful!!!
Cheers, appreciated. This machine is amazing for the size and price.

Top content as usual! Thanks Doc!
Cheers glad its a bit useful to some. Sorry it took so long to get this one out... And I still haven't done the vid on programming drum fills yet.

It certainly is!!!!😂

No worries, thanks for watching. It makes it worth doing.
Thank you for this tutorial. How do you save the tone after you have finished editing iylt?
Hi you can't save the tone but you can save the clip it's loaded into and then recall that clip to load into a new track at a later date.
@DocBolus Thank you. How do I save a clip? ( I just bought it, and no video mentions saving anything...)
