Thanks Will! Glad you found this one so useful. I was having a lot of fun with this when I made the video but I haven’t circled back to the technique yet. I have a feeling there’s a lot more good stuff to be found.
Ha, this is exactly what I'm going to need to prepare my next live set! I'm planning to record a bunch of tape loops into the Force and perform by combining them on the spot and letting them run out of phase to produce varying textures.
@@joefilbrun .. On the S1000/5000, MPC2500/4000, you hold a pad plus mute and it plays indefinitely. Same with all the Roland SP units, which have a dedicated button.
Is there a way to drone out a piano plugin? Tried with stage piano and fabric piano. The tail stays with a longer decay but it fades with sustain on still. (It dies off immediately if I turn sustain off tho)
It might not be possible in the native plugin if it’s not set up to sustain. You could possibly sample it into a keygroup or drum program and loop a section of it so that it can sustain indefinitely.
Also "sustain" is nice but in general synthesizers need to support a "latch" mode for chords so you can hold a chord until you play another one without releasing and depressing a sustain pedal when you play a new one.
I don’t know that I have any synths that work that way. Hmm, maybe the DeepMind does when you combine the hold and chord functions… I’m not sure if I’ve tried them together. Will have to look into it. Do you know some that do?
@suitandtieguy great channel and work .. exactly why I surf the comments carefully for keywords and modesty ...keywords.. "I make" yes sir you make amazing stuff! That Infinite 3 you were bending to your will was an awesome setup.. can I use the Force as a midi controller to open up that Infinity 3?
Extremely helpful, sir. Exactly what I was hoping to do with my Force. Much appreciated. Your instructional videos are excellent resources.

Nice! If you end up with a recording of it you want to share, send it along.
Just ordered a force and your channel has been great to learn about the various features you can play with. Thanks!
Nice work Joe, you’re always coming up with novel ways to use the features on the Force. Keep them coming!
Excellent!
I used MIDI tracks to send individual notes if a chord to an external poly synth to deconstruct and reconstruct the chord over time.
you’re an outstanding teacher! thank you so much for this!
You're very welcome, nnn! Thanks for watching.
Amazing tip Joe
I was trying to do a drone note just yesterday, thanks!
very nice tip 👍 thx
Wow, you keep on sharing amazing techniques. Thank you~~~ 👍
Thanks for watching and dropping a comment! I have some more in techniques to share in the pipeline. Stay tuned!
Wonderful tip!
Thanks - hope you have some cool discoveries with it!
It REALLY needs a latch mode for playback. It was part of the S5000/MPC4000.
This is how most of the ‘latch’ functions I’ve encountered work. How was the MPC4000 different?

@@danieklerr I see. So you can un-latch specific notes/pads if there is more than 1 latched?

@@joefilbrun Moog One! Novation SL3 does it too. Any polysynth or controller I make will have it.
Yea! Agree. Akai miniak

Just grandiose!
Glad you enjoyed!
Cool!!!!
Hey Andrea - glad you enjoyed. Thanks for watching!
Its (Moog) Subharmonicon
Haven’t ever really looked into the Subharmonicon and didn’t know it could sound like this. I’ll have to check it out.
