MS20 PAW 03 - THE CHURCH OF GHOSTLY

Another patch, another track, this one a work in progress. The MS20 kicks off the track and I add a second MS20 lead line over the arpeggio and bass. The lead patch is slightly different to the bass patch (apart from transposition of course), mainly in terms of LFO modulation. Both are a combination of triangle / square waves.

I have a vocal harmony in mind and I will probably track this sometime over the coming weeks when I find the time (and peace)!

MS20 PAW 02 - FINGERTIP SHOPPING

This week I have been messing about with simple synth riffs underlying delayed arpeggio lines and could waste hours adjusting the filters via the modwheel. This patch is named after the resultant track of the same name:

The MS20 kicks in after about 7 seconds and continues for the whole track. Other gear used -

- Novation KS4 (arp)
- Volca Beats
- Volca Keys (synth sequence)
- Zoom Sampletrak
- Behringer EM600 (tape delay send effect)
- Yamaha rm1x (midi sequencer only)

Track sequenced on Yamaha rm1x as a loop. Mutes, parameter tweaks and samples triggered live (hence a number of mistakes!). Everything recorded live into my multitracker as a single stereo mix with a touch of reverb only added in post production.
