New Conditional Trigs For Easy Hands-Free Transitions (Digitakt 2) | Hanging With Hexwave
Hello! I kinda forgot about this feature for a bit, and now I'm going to have to abuse it. VERY useful for live performances with @WeAreElektron Digitakt 2. You can even use these triggers on midi tracks to program transitions on external gear, which I didn't even think of until now. Cool :)

"Luminescence" Ambient Jam | Vermona PerFourMer, Digitakt 2, Empress Reverb + Echosystem
Просмотров 689 часов назад
My recent streak of ambient continues today with this, very simple but sweet piece. It started as a little loop I made for fun to play in the background of the house while we were getting ready yesterday, where I just hit play and walked away while it looped and looped. Honestly it's just such a nice sound I could let it play all day! The Perfourmer MK2 is on poly mode, playing chords while the...

Just been sound exploring and trying things for a few days, and today I ended up with this simple little jam and thought it would be a nice recording. So here you are! Perfourmer is just doing those nice chord stabs, running through the two Empress pedals (Echosystem on stutter mode is really cool!). Digitakt handles the other melody and bass as well as the drums and compression. Cheers! You ca...

I decided I wanted to do a drone jam with the @vermonagear PerFourMer MK2 today since it does it so well. Not a type of music I do often, but it is very enjoyable to slow right down and explore sound design. I think this went very nicely, I hope you enjoy it! The PerFourMer is running into the Empress Echosystem delay set to an analog tube emulation, and then into the Empress Reverb set to a mo...

    Dude that's awesome how you managed to stumble upon such a gorgeous ambient phrase! That empress reverb too, ouf. Like a massive floating cathedral in the sky and you gotta fly around between the pillars and collect things. I swear there was a level like that in Mario 64. You get the cap with the wings and there might've been a magic carpet... Good times those were. The reverb really hit hard half way through. There was this feedback that almost sounded like a distant choir. This was a great one! Don't get me wrong, I'm all about tech death doom synth blast processing. But it takes balls to be accustomed to rhythmic heavy stuff and sit down and go "yeah I'm gonna do the opposite of all that and go slushy sky ambient today" so I appreciate the ambient jams just as much.

    • @hexwavemusic
      @hexwavemusic 4 дня назад

      Thank you very much, haha yes I know the level you mean, it was an absolute shit bag of a level, probably the worst in the game so, I'm not sure if this is a compliment or not. 😂 Yeah the reverb is great! I'm wondering if the distant choir thing you heard though is the Digitakt, I had recorded the whole Perfourmer line into it and then halfway through fade it in, and its like pitched up and faster and in reverse and such! Anyway its a big mush of ambient smooshes so as long as it was enjoyable :) Yeaaah I love both kinds and all in between. Just having a hard time not doing ambient lately, I think because the Perfourmer has such a nice sound. I have determined I am getting a Labyrinth as well though, so that will filthy up the register eventually :) Thanks again!

Freaking can't wait to hear what you make with it. But there's no possible way you won't like it. It's so cool and it truly has a mind of its own, unlike your other gear. Plus you already have reverb and echo pedals which basically make it explode sonically. Oh man, coupled with the digitakt! This is dangerous.

    Dude you made the perFourmer sound like an experimental 70s modular synth wall. These are the kinda sounds I expect out of the 2600, or Moog 15 or the delicious submarine panel that is the vcs3. I always appreciate that, because the perFourmer from what I can tell was designed with a somewhat musical and logical interface, as opposed to the mind bending space weaponry interface of some of the old 70s synths. I swear I need to bust out graph paper and dice to figure out what connections are normalized on the 2600. But that chaos leads to some really otherworldly sounds that are hard to come up with deliberately without exploring. You really explored in this one, and I think that's cool 😎

    Awww Mitzi!!!! This inspired me to sit down and take it slow. I've been putting together some patches on the 2600 to be sequenced with ZOA, which is an iOS app that uses "game of life" generative patterns. But everything I've made so far sounds so harsh and atonal, and frankly annoying even with scale quantization. There's an art to ambient generative that I haven't quite figured out yet. It's just so opposite from my years long ethos of "riffs, headbanging, beer and skulls and tits" style music composition. But this just sounds so good and looks so fun. I may not record it, but I'm definitely gonna be in my room and take a breather at some point and make some sounds like this. Inspiration +1

Ambient can be reaaaaal easy, but also sometimes it can be real hard to find a sweet spot. Honestly, 75% of it is just having a nice very lush delay and reverb 😂 The P4 isn't technically doing anything generative, though it's complex enough just because of how it works that it almost sounds like it. With each voice set to different settings, and each time a midi note is sent it rotates to the next voice, if like 3 notes are sent and then 1 and 1 and 3 etc it all cycles in an interesting way and then the next time through it might be different if it's an odd number of notes or something. Anyway, I hope you enjoy/enjoyed your chill session! While I would like to hear what you come up with, there's definitely something about specifically deciding not to record and just enjoying it sometimes! Thanks as always!

      @@hexwavemusic the most lush reverb I've ever heard is probably the hologram microcosm. It calls to me... but it's practically priced as much as a full on synth and even used sells for like $400+. Still that thing could make a wet fart sound like Vangelis.

      @@GeorgeL909 Yeah it's super expensive, so are both of these empress pedals 🙃 But I like having one really nice pedal that covers all the bases in an area, like some people have 3-4 reverb pedals for different occasions but that's too messy for me! Microcosm is quite nice, I've had it twice. I felt like it was doing something to lower the quality of my signal chain, but that was probably just in my head. But that's one of the reasons that I landed on these empress ones, because they make a big point of saying the signal chain will stay pure even when bypassed, it doesn't introduce noise or whatever which is nice. But everyone loves microcosm, I know tons of people with them (and my brother has my first one for guitar). Anyway, don't buy anything! Right? 😜🤑💀

      @@hexwavemusic very interesting! Hasn't considered signals chain stuff. Since I don't do a lot of "live performance" besides pressing notes live, my next experiment after trying to turn my 2600 into a Moog Labyrinth, is to try and find some combination of resampling the sp404s janky reverb to make something lush. I know there's some combination of settings to make a huge lush reverb via resampling, I just have to find it. The 404 effects are wonderful, but the reverb is kinda tame. The delay algorithms are phenomenal though, especially tape delay with detuning and ko da ma delay (whatever that's doing). Ko da ma at high feedback and short delay times actually makes for a better reverb than the 404s actual reverb effect 🤣. Ok that's my plan. Don't buy anything. Fake a labyrinth. Fake a microcosm.

      @@GeorgeL909 Yeah from my brief foray with the 404, I loved the FX a lot and really missed them after! The whole setup with that thing is actually really cool, with the customizable FX bus options and whatnot plus the performance controls right there in your face. Good luck and enjoy it!!

    Awesome! Love the ramp up at 7:20 You know what the PerFourmer reminds me of? The Elektron Analog four. It has this kind of gritty analog as opposed to the clean smooth. Could just be the patching you've done. The upside to this setup, way more hands on control. Everything is right there on the panel for sound design and it's very easy to launch torpedoes if an enemy ship exhibits threatening behavior.

      Thank you 😎 I'm just so annoyed at my panning on this so I hope you weren't on headphones 😂 I haven't used the A4 but it sounds nice. I'm sure its similar in some ways for sure. It usually is fairly smooth by "default", in fact if you search on RUclips probably 90% of jams are soft ambient things. It has a very smooth, warm filter and doesn't make harsh tones through most normal means, but then you have these oscillator sink switches and fm knobs that you can use to get it real gritty. It more than anything benefits from knowing what all the options are and when to reach for them. Something like the Labyrinth is going to be way more gritty and crazy as far as sound design than this, but I enjoy the mix of having 4 polyphonic voices all with their own controls. And the round robin style voice usage and different polyphony modes lets you kinda mess around and find a nice melody you didn't mean to make.

    • @hexwavemusic
      @hexwavemusic 22 дня назад

      @@helpmeiaminhell Well technically it can, but you won't want to use it without a midi controller. It basically has options for testing the sound, but it'll be the same couple melodies over and over and you can't change them because it's not meant for playing really. But to be honest, I would recommend not being afraid of midi, it's actually very simple once you get your hands on it. For instance a midi keyboard, you would just connect a midi cable from the out of the keyboard to the in on the Perfourmer, and then select the same midi channel on both units and that's it, playing the keyboard will then play the Perfourmer. Sequencers are pretty easy too, and if you want to make electronic music id recommend just watching some beginner tutorials because I promise you can learn basics in an hour or two and be able to make some fun stuff!
