To use midi with my JT-4000, I run a USB-C cable to my phone via a USB hub. I use an app called MIDI connector on it, it's dead easy to set up and use. I then connect my midi keyboard (keystep) to the USB hub. In the app, you choose the Keystep as the source and the JT-4000 as the destination.
Awesome Maestro, super chilled ambience, I got the Monotron Delay back in 2011-12 something like that. This was my back to electronic music trigger. Very good toy for a night with friends 😜
Absolutely love this little Behringer. Taking about the limitations of it - the A B controls going back to zero after switching between oscillators etc :/ Would you be able to recommend a notch up synthesiser with the same sort of tweaking abilities?
@@remigiangolec7420 the Roland S-1 is a great synth for those who seek a compact affordable machine but still with great capabilities. I have several videos about it on my channel, check it out if you are interested. There's also an affiliate link for purchasing it in the description . thanks and have a great music journey
The drone is sequenced by the daw (just an endlessly sustained note). Since it's four voices, you can play freely over it as long as you don't use more that 4 notes at once.
Wow, this is really great! It's amazing how you can use such basic gear to really create a textural soundscape that just draws the listener in - if you told me I was listening to Vangelis or Zimmer, I'd be tempted to believe it!
Thank you very much for your feedback! I'm glad you enjoyed. I'm constantly experimenting with minimal gear and programming to see how far we can go with the results. Cheers
Beh che dire? Stupendo! È da quando è uscito che voglio mettere le mani sul 4000 Micro l'unica cosa che mi ha fermato è l'assenza del line in che rende appunto la Monotron Delay uno strumentino pazzesco (e uno dei miei preferiti in assoluto!) Grazie mille per l'interessantissimo canale! A presto 👍
Very cool, i was pretty hesitant to get the behringer mini synths, after see your video i just ordered a jt-4000, a monotron delay, and a pro vs mini, for good mesure ;)
Why 3 midi channels? what do the other 2 do? I use the same setup without computer using the hold on the JT. a reverb shimmer pedal after the monotron works nice.
I recently made a video a bout the hold function 😊 at the time of this video o still had the older firmware. The midi channel is the same, but the midi notes are split in different channels, so I can arrange in real time from the daw or easily built an arrangement. This allows you more control of you want to make layered complex modes taking advantage of polyphony
Thank you for your feedback. I'm not sure about all the technical details. What I really ment here is that the monotron delay helps to get that "analog lo-fi feeling" that I didn't find in the Behringer. Cheers
It's hard to classify as purely digital. While the PT2399 has a digital buffer/delay line for 1-bit sampling (44Kbit total) at a variable rate. There's a lot of analog blocks in that chip too for the input low-pass filter and output demodulator/filter. And there's a very simple analog oscillator (VCO) for driving the delay's rate inside the 2399 chip too. It has a rather unique character that was probably not intentional, it was designed to be low-cost and consumer-grade for home karaoke systems. But you can get a real lofi sound out of it, and I think pedals and boxes like the Monotron Delay sounds pretty cool and musical.
What Boriscat said, I've seen a few analogue only pedal channels that do reveiw delay units built around the pt2399, for exactly those reasons, it may have a digital memory/resampling, but that's extremely small, it's beauty comes from the rest of the ic layout being analogue and the analogue circuit you put it into. I'm not alone in using multiple pt2399, and extending the delay time, massively to create, for intents and purposes, analogue, really dirty lofi delay, to the point of unintelligible repeats, due to the 1 bit sampling rate combine this with the great feedback characteristics, they become versatile analogue mouse generators, if you like that sort of thing.
Omg its like a mini Vangelis!!
It is, isn't it? 😉

That's a good setup because everybody has a smartphone. Otherwise you need a midi host.
Wow, you were getting into Vangelis "Bladerunnner" soundtrack territory with your manipulation of the delay!
Another great video. You seam to be able to pull out the most beautiful sounds from such simple set ups. Inspiring.
Blown away...❤
I just got JT-4000 and Montron Delay as my first synthesizers ever, and here you are in my feed with this exact setup :) great demo!
Thanks! Stay inspired 😉 great choice to get started with synths!
I started out with a couple of volcas and a monotron delay way back when the first volcas came out.. got me hooked on hardware synths :)
I love this combination, these 2 are my first 2 synths, and it’s fun to make atmospheric sounds for my music with them.
They make a great pair indeed

I also had it very long ago, then gave it away, and later bought it back! Cheers

Great idea !! !! 👌👌🎧🎧Thanks for sharing !! 👍👍
You are welcome! Cheers
Amazing what you can do with such cheap equipment!
I'll unironically love seeing you scoring a movie!
Thanks. I was thinking to experiment a bit with that. Let's see if I can come out with something interesting to share
Thank you for showing this! I will check out the Korg, in particular too!
thanks for the feedback!
This is pure magic. I really thank you, because it's really beautiful
I grant you my subscription

Thank you for the feedback and the sub! Cheers from Italy
You preplayed the drone? How do you layer the melody while keeping the drone going?. Amazing blade runnerish sound

Fantastic !

Grazie mille per l'interessantissimo canale!
A presto 👍
Grazie a te per il supporto!
Awesome
Thanks
Sounds lovely. I should try something similar with a probability based sequencer. And a different synth since I haven't got this one (yet).
Try it! Thanks for the feedback, cheers
Very cool, i was pretty hesitant to get the behringer mini synths, after see your video i just ordered a jt-4000, a monotron delay, and a pro vs mini, for good mesure ;)
They are all great synths in their own way, you'll enjoy for sure

Sorry for my stupid question but how do you connect it to a DAW?
With a usb audio interface and audio cables
👍👍👍
can you do this without a DAW? Or is the DAW responsible for the drone in the background?
I'm using a daw to get the drone. There's no onboard sequencer on the machine, only thing you can do is playing the keyboard
You can run everything in to this. You get gold nuggets for almost nothing.
Yes the Filter in the Monotron delay is analog. But isn't the PT 2399 a digital chip ? Still a very nice Video !

I just got my JT4000 and have a monotron. MUAHAHHAH!!!!!!!
Have fun!
This sounds like David Bowie’s Low album.
Well that's really not bad! XD cheers
That's a lot of talking before we hear anything.
If you check newer videos, you'll notice I improved.
