- A short #POV #tutorial showing you how to create a classic early 90s Techno jam with minimal equipment in the style of Jeff Mills and the like. The result is by no means a finished track, but a solid foundation to be edited, arranged and mixed in any DAW. It’s just one melodic part and a drum track. I show you how to program a typical synthesizer line. The sound design for the Volta FM is done before and not shown, because it is a rather boring process of trial-and-error. But you can download the patch with the link below.

i love the fact that most of the old techno was make the most of what you have.
So much better than modern over produced DAW techno. The 90s were the greatest decade to be young and go to techno clubs. No mobile phones, just people into it with no distraction.
DAW have so many tools at hand which make producing so overkill and usually set an unnecessary high standard for artist. Think hardware! In the old days so many people start with nothing but a bunch of machine plays together, no money for studio nor expensive processing unit. People have to make the most use out of what they have, live tweak on the go and improvise, that's why oldschool stuffs have this organic feeling to it (in my opinion) that make it a staple of the genre. Slight offbeat and out of sync in the modern age is a error, in the old days it's a feeling.
the drugs were better bro
I lived in the 90s and we had beepers, cell phones and the internet.
@@XanderEwald go lycos
@@XanderEwald yeah dude gotta check yur beeper in the club.....
100% honest, zero time-wasting, nice one.
The person talking in the background at 3:38 is perfectly on time
very rare to find ''real'' techno how to's...nice one!
Nice to see someone with all the gear who actually has an idea.... how to use them properly - this is great
it looks so simple when you know what you’re doing. i’d take ages to create anything that resembles this

ohh how I'm supposed to use my volca fm.
Nice jam i really got into for a few bits. clicked this for the korg... really want a roland now
Yeeeeesssssssss!!!!!!!!!!
Fiiiiiiiilthy!!!!!!!
I need a keyboard….
I’ve a td-3,td-3MO and a tr-8s…..
Only just starting out but when I watch you guys kick the Bollix outta them,I see the potential for absolute destruction!!!!!
Love it!!!!! 👍🇮🇪😵💫👏
Thanks, I was looking for inspiration to use this Volca FM I have, and sequencing it with the Keystep was the answer. I would like to also run it threw the SP 404 MKII when it arrives.
Mills used a DX100 in a ton of his work. Not a surprise you can capture quite a decent Mills-vibe with the Volca!
You rock man \m/
Yeah!!!
this is genius :D
Yeah man
Cool stuff! And I always wondered what it would be for the viewer to watch a POV set. I put my cameras static always. But I see it is not bad at all.
Gutted that I can only give this the one "thumbs up"
superbe 👍
Listing to this again as I have been many times. It’s just marvelous. When will it be on vinyl? Love this track.
ok thats HARD
nice☻
The lead is nice :))
Dope Shit Right There
Sounds great!
Pity about the edit at about 6:22, I was paying attention to how you were going to return/ progress.
thx! yeah sometimes you gotta have 3 hands :-) i probably removed 8 bars since the transition was not good.
It has that dj Hell vibe
Nice sequence, solid pattern, good arrangement; that makes this track groove! Amazing!
One question: is there any compression used here, particularly on the tr-8?
Tr-8 has compression on kick and snare, both with their own designated knob. It sounds like there is some comp on the kick in this case.
There is also sidechain built in to the tr-8, where you can route audio through the drummachine and apply side chain compression per step via the sequencer.
Don't think he's using that feature in this video.
good boy 🥵
Say I wanted to start producing some acid, what equipment is best? And how do you record?
Do you find the Volca FM is really effortless to get these techno kind loops going?
Wow ur cool dude just 3 machine not include midi lol so freaking flow Im dancing in my room like helll in covid-19 situation this dude really cure me
And this sound so real Detroit techno
Respect from Thailand take care dude
Hello i have 1 question is it posible to set up this whole rig to ableton live and record into audio ? Please reply i plan on buying the same set up but with the korg volca keys so i need to know if it is possible to record everything to ableton ?
hello, of course you can record everything in ableton as long as you have enough inputs on your audio interface. in fact i also recorded everything in ableton, via the usb interface option on the mixer.
You can buy an Soundcraft 22MTK , then you have 22 channels for multi tracking into your DAW. Enough headroom for future gear :)
Well dome bró
Have you got any tutorial how you connect the whole stuff?
no, not yet. however i tried to show how the machines are connected like here th-cam.com/video/vOoJtGphgaA/w-d-xo.html by midi and also audio signal flow. but i change the setup quite often and haven't done a proper tutorial on the subjet yet.
Just coincidentally clicked on a video of my EXACT setup while trying to figure out what to do with my fm
Except I have a tr-8s
