Ambient study – Steve’s MS-22, Chord v2, Magneto, ER-101
Patch notes
- Channels 1 and 2 of the ER-101 are sequencing each of Chord V2’s four oscillators individually (CV A and CV B both being used for pitch)
- Channels 3 and 4 are polymetrically sequencing the cutoff frequencies of Steve’s MS-22’s high-pass and low-pass filter.
- The phasing of the different loop lengths of the different sequences results in an evolving ambient piece.
- Magneto is providing a wash of delay and reverb with plenty of wow and flutter
New video: 3x Steve’s MS-22 fat percussion ensemble
Check out this new video where I play an awesomely fat percussion patch with three MS-22’s. In my humble opinion, this is the best demo video that I’ve made so far. Enjoy! And have a nice weekend! :)
PS: There’s still one week until the end of my summer deals, pre-order your MS-22 now! :)
Patch notes
- Bass drum (leftmost MS-22)
- The MS-22’s resonance is set to the edge of self-oscillation, making it pingable by sending a trigger into the input.
Doing the HAINBACH thing: Test-equipment music with Steve’s MS-22 and Wiretaps
Around the time Hainbach invited me to join his series of Superbooth streams, I felt inspired to give making test-equipment music a try myself. At that time I had just received some Yokogawa test equipment for evaluation. So, this seemed like an excellent time to throw together a patch with Steve’s MS-22 and some Wiretaps and record it.
Patch notes:
- I’m using the Yokogawa FG400 Isolated Arbitrary/Function Generator as a sound source, with a trapezoid arbitrary waveform at the output.
Steve’s MS-22 drum sample pack!
A few evenings ago, I sat down with Steve’s MS-22 and the 1010music Bitbox and created an awesome drum sample pack to share with all of you. I hope you’ll all enjoy this little sample (pun intended) of one of the many things Steve’s MS-22 can do for you in your rack! :). The download link (and a jam) can be found further down this article.
What’s included in this pack?
- 24x Steve’s MS-22 drum samples (48kHz, 24 bit, WAV)
- A Bitbox preset
- An Ableton Live set as generated by the Bitbox
Some patch notes
- I used the following modules to create this sample pack:
- Threetom Steve’s MS-22 dual VCF
- 1010music Bitbox (for sampling)
- Pamela’s New Workout (on clocking duty)
- Befaco Rampage (envelope duty)
- Intellijel Atlantis (for white noise)
- All samples contain multiple hits with small tweaks.
Two more demo videos!
Steve’s MS-22 / sequenced modulation
Have a look at my latest demo video, demonstrating sending two different sequences in Steve’s MS-22’s FCV and ACV modulation inputs.
