Volca Bass: MIDI implementation
Переглядів 6 тис.3 роки тому
In this video we'll go through the MIDI implementation chart for the Korg Volca Bass, learning what the different sections of an implementation chart mean and what the Bass specifically can do. There's no playing or connection-making in this video; we'll be doing that in a future episode.

One thing I was thinking about, You really cleared up so basic synth functions and flow for me, which I would have never found if I wasn't searching specifically for "Crave Tutorials". Maybe you could get things going with just a series of synth basics. There's nothing out there that is any good. There's a million out there but they're all the same "This is the osc. it goes like this" None of them approach the depth or clarity yours do. I've been on YT since 2004. I've watched thousands of tutorials. I can say without doubt you have a knack for it. The "Synthosphere" is growing big right now and I think you'd be a big benefit to everyone. Think about it, I can promise you there are thousands of folks like me that have notifications set for your channel and would be pumped to see a video from you pop up. Anyway, so glad to hear from you. Hope you have a great weekend, God bless my fren.

    • @music-with-eric
      @music-with-eric Місяць тому

      Not that I'm aware of. But whenever you go to a new sequence and hit record it will write over whatever's there, so I'm not sure a total wipe is necessary? Consider it a safety feature - if you create a set of key presses to delete everything, someone might just accidentally do it...

    Hi Eric, hope all is well. I’ve commented several times now on how good these Crave tutorials are and your high skill level as a clear and concise teacher. I’m not sure why you stopped making tutorials. Maybe life is too busy. I have to say that since the Crave is now part of a trilogy of synths, I’m pleading with you to do another superb tutorial on the Behringer Edge, and when it is more widely available, the Behringer Spice. I know it is a great deal of work, but it would be of such benefit to us users of the trilogy. You really are an extremely good teacher and I want to be able to "Pless Pray” (I'm so glad you left that in, after all we are all only human!) on the Edge and Spice!! The three units are definitely made to be played together and knowing how to use them to their fullest would be terrific!!

  • @FaloxSI

    Good evening Eric, I'm following your entire tutorial and it seems to me that you are very prepared for the question I have to ask you for my Crave. I had the opportunity to download some patch sheets for the Crage from the "patchstorage" site where the various connections made by the author are practically copied and that very beautiful photonic sound should come out (like trance, psitrance) but which doesn't come out for me even though I set it exactly like the pattern I see. Furthermore, I see that a JAC cable is often connected between "ext audio" and "osc pulse" but looking at the manual "ext audio" is not used to connect to an external peripheral?" At this point I wonder how these sounds come out because the patches do not use with other related instruments is mentioned but they write that the sound is from crave. Can you tell me something about it?

    • @music-with-eric
      @music-with-eric 3 місяці тому

      The patch, as you describe it, would be sending the oscillator pulse wave to the external audio input so that if you turn the modulation knob in the oscillator section you'd morph between the saw wave on the left (assuming you have saw selected with the toggle switch) and the pulse wave on the right (as opposed to noise, which is what you'd get with nothing patched into external audio).

    Is it possible to change scale (time division ) of notes when using external clock . As I can't seem to find or figure out how to do it.

      I don't have an Edge, so I can't say for sure, but on the crave's shift+hold+8 menu, page 1, you can change the relative value of the sync. If edge and crave are on the same rate setting, they should run at the same tempo.

    Are you running that through some kind of compression? When I turn the resonance up above like 50% there is a huge drop in overall volume and I'm wondering if I got a defective unit, or if every video I'm watching includes compression?

    • @music-with-eric
      @music-with-eric 4 місяці тому

      No compressor used here, just crave directly into my audio recorder (zoom r8 for this video, iirc). Perhaps the UA-cam compression has something to do with it? Or maybe iMovie, which I used for the first few videos in this series. Later I switched to Davinci, but didn't have quite the right codec. Eventually I figured it out... Generally though, the volume tends to drop on many analog synthesizers when you increase the resonance (partly why I couldn't get on with the Minilogue); that behavior is dependent on the construction of the filter.

    Hey, lovely videos. Really thorough. I was wondering if the 4th version of the arp is really random. When I arpeggiate notes of the C major and let the eight of them in a loop with the arpeggiator in this mode it plays a very predictable, tough more articulate, pattern. So I guess you could use it as a random arp if you play say 13 harmonically unrelated pitches, but it still plays a simple pattern. Haven't updated the firmware still, so this might have changed in the meantime. Just saying, try it out with 8 notes from the same scale, and you'll easily notice the pattern it plays.
