BlueARP DM driving Dreadbox Typhon, Korg EX-8000, Vermona Mono Lancet

- I felt like I need to make some music, too much development happened in the previous months... Also I wanted to use my new Dreadbox Typhon in a musical context.
So, this is the 1st time I use BlueARP DM with all analog synths! Except Korg ES-1 for drums, but this thing may be considered vintage too for its LoFi 32kHz sound.
The whole thing works like this:
1. BlueARP DM drives all the synths except Korg ES-1, but it sends program change messages to Korg ES-1 to switch patterns
2. Korg ES-1 is a clock master (I tried BlueARP DM as a master, but Korg ES-1 seems to have a noticeable lag with external clock), BlueARP syncs to Korg ES-1 and sends clock to Typhon (for BPM-synched delay)
3. Mono Lancet plays the bass, routed via Zoom CDR-70 FX
4. Korg EX-8000 plays electric piano and other sounds (it responds to Program Change messages from BlueARP DM)
5. Dreadbox Typhon plays the main sequence through the track. This sequence mixed fixed-key steps with k1/k2 steps, so it changes to the chord
This time I utilized all DIN5 midi ports on BlueARP DM, so I think it is a cool thing I added 2 midi ins and 4 midi outs. I could still use USB MIDI or MIDI THRU's to connect extra synths, but here I ran out of synths, and these are enough to make some music )
Sorry for the high-pitch noise. I used separate adapters to power USB-powered devices, but still couldn't get rid of it completely.
PS. I have no exact dates for BlueARP DM available for order yet, we are still in beta-testing. But I think first hand-made units will be available around Fall 2021.
An amazing job! BlueARP DM feeling so close to release, I pray for the day I'll get to own one... Such a powerful little machine ^^
Hi Oleg, i must buy one!!! Great Work.
Awesome work Oleg! Really nice tones in this tune while also showcasing some great features of BlueARP DM!
Nice performance! Kavinsky Vibe 👍🏼👍🏼👌🏼. Thanks for sharing
Олег просто отлично! Я фанат Blue Arp!
Super stuff Oleg! A great demonstration on how to use this awesome product! Can't wait for the world to get their hands on it!
Sounds amazing!
Wow, typhoon very interesting and cool maschine. Good luck to make your sound very interesting!
Класс! Успехов в проекте!
Me gusta como suena enhorabuena
Олег, ты гений!! Всегда это знал.
Hola gray lo que haces es maravilloso, hermosas melodías, eres un verdadero genio, sigo tus vídeos y los ví todos.
blue arp es una verdadera obra de arte, te felicito y te admiro. Un gran abrazo desde República Oriental del Uruguay (sud América).
There is some way to record the midi notes generated by the bluearp, route example : midi track > vst(MASSIVE) > bluearp > midi Track (where arpeggiated notes would be recorded)
That's a question, sorry if I don't write well
Thank you for the whole project
If the BlueArp's outputting the notes and they're playing on a synth, there's no reason why they couldn't be captured, either in a DAW, or in a MIDI track recording device of some type.
Great track, what you think will be the price for your fantastic arp?
I don't have the numbers yet and didn't yet do all the math regarding cost calculation, fees, taxes, etc... First units will be hand-soldered by me. Hopefully I will arrange small-batch assembly by some partner. So all I can say now it will be somwehere between 600 and 1000 USD.
All audio outputs from the synths are sended to a mixer table ?
Yeah, it is all mixed live with my small yamaha ag-06 mixer, no sidechaining or compression.
how is the roland a49 as a main controller? really wish they made more minimal midi keyboard wit good keys
The form factor, size if perfect, doesn't take much place on the desk and has full size keys (I'm not a fan of mini keys). But for some reason it feels like it has higher latency than my old novation SL. Not sure it is a driver issue or keyboard itself, maybe a USB driver thing. So I finally sold it and now using my Kurzweil PC3LE as a main Keyboard, and still have my old Novation SL (I even took time to repair some keys on it with the conductive paint)
I don't know, but when I tried to play fast parts, it is less comfortable on A49 than on my old Novation SL, this is the reason I dodn't keep it as my main MIDI controller...
Please also keep Updating Vst version, we all cant Afford the hardware version .
All the changes I make to hardware also affect the plugin cause they share the same code base, so I'm not abandoning the plugin. Actually I'm preparing an update to the plugin, it will be released in a few weeks
Круто! Я понял -все дело в кастрюле😂
This is great! Love it! 😁 So the BlueArp is a NDLR on Steroids?
Thanks! They share some common ground, but designed for different workflows. Ask Ranz, he has both ). As I understand, NDLR is more a 'happy accident' machine where you tweak it and see what comes out. BlueARP is more a deliberate pattern programming tool.
@@graywolf2004ru you might want to reach out to the NDLR guys to find out who does the assembly on their hardware. Perhaps that could drive the cost down to below the 600 to 1000 range.
Hi Oleg. Any news on when BlueArp DM is going to become available for purchase? What price do you expect to sell it for?
I got it delayed for a few weeks cause I'm waiting stuff to make a nice box & package. The retail privce will be 850$. I will make a video announcement in a couple of weeks.
@@graywolf2004ru OK, thanks. Do you keep a mailing list for potential buyers?
@@robst247 I do. So if you decide to get one, drop me email. There are still some units in 'free stock' (not reserved). Once they run out, it will be a few months of waiting until I make a new batch.
@@graywolf2004ru OK. How do I find your email address?
@@robst247 graywolf2004 at gmail.com, it is there on my website omg-instruments.com/wp/?page_id=11, but you probably didn't see it yet
Mono lancet is better than a Slim phatty?
I never had Slim phatty, but I think Mono lancet is more of a 'hands on' thing, cause it is a pure 'knob per function' design, it doesn't even have a display.
