    I read that he makes a lot of his tracks by resampling his synths, which makes it more impressive that you did all this live.

    • @xydamage9754
      @xydamage9754 5 лет назад +12

      I'm replying one year late, but if it can be of any help, he makes a lot of his bass lines on a Korg ms 20. The Morgasmatron filter by Intellijel is supposedly a good imitation of the filter from that synth.
      Then as an oscillator I think you could use any module that makes saw and square waves.
      For all the glitchy percussions I'd say the fastest route is to have some sort of sampler, because you would otherwise need a huge system to emulate all those different textures at the same time. There are also some really interesting digital percussion modules out there, like the WMD fracture, chimera and crucible. For the kick and sub bass something like a basimilus iteratas alter might work, though it might not be very accurate (it has a huge range though, and it sounds really nice in any case). You obviously need an EQ and a compressor for drums to fine tune them and get a polished sound, or you could have external hardware or software for that.
      You also need some nice long reverbs and granular delays, to make those super lush atmospheres Jon has in most of his tracks. Something like the mutable instruments clouds.
      He uses a lot of field recordings, vocals, piano, strings, etc that he uses to make his atmospheres. For that the only way is sampling and reverb.
      Throw a distortion module of some kind in there and some digital mangling effects like a bit crusher, a delay module too, a bunch of utility modules, sequencers, LFOs and envelopes and you could make something that maybe has a similar aesthetic. But honestly, his music is heavily reliant on resampling and using a ton of digital effects, without a massive system you couldn't do it. I would personally just try to recreate the stuff he does with analog synths, like the bass lines or the pluck sounds and maybe the kick and do everything else digitally.
      TL;DR: you can make the bass with any oscillator and a Morgasmatron, for everything else you're better off with software
