#korg #uvi #synthesizer
Nothing beats Claudio and his love to synths!
Exactly! ❤️
Please be more gentle with the MS 20.
Claudio... After a Bontempi and a Farfisa Matador, Korg MS20 was my first serious instrument in 1978. I was 14 years old. Now I am 59, it is still on my desk and present in my tracks. For me it's synth number one. Forever!
Big smiles from 1999 😁, but please Dr.Mix can you give that MS20 more love.
Every time you dropped it my nerves jumped 😂.
And the poor Rhodes below it!!!! haha I was on the edge of my seat
@@jimlawburgh8288That was my bigger concern, also! 😅
There is so much mad good stuff in the Mr Oizo catalogue, Analog Worms Attack, Positif, MSeq.. And the All Wet album is banging. The Artwork and videos etc are super creative. Mr Oizo is so much more than Flat Beat but its a legend in itself. Love you Dr Mix!
@@pab26120 Thanks for mentioning it, I have to see it now, the trailer was good :)
I always tought that Mr. Oizo is one of the most iconic house track ever produceed. So happy that you brought this out with the amazing Korg MS.20 concept.
Your passion for music, synths, and life is incredible. You’re an inspiration doctor.
Flat Beat brings out the same head movement for everyone....theres no escape.
I love your enthusiasm...
If you ever come to Pennsylvania stop in for a beer and a bowl😊
This song is just so much fun, timeless classic, like the Korg as well!
Also, I think we all can agree that the studio needs a Flat Eric plushie somewhere!👀😂
I've bought a Korg MS-20 mini for €250 last year. It's AWESOME!! :D
Oh man, now I love you even more! Such an iconic instrument. It was such a pivotal moment for me when I first heard that track. The whole album, Analog Worms Attack, is a hugely underrated album in my opinion. Thanks a lot for another great video!
What an amazing synthesizer
Man I love when people gives attention to someone else than justice or Daft punk in the world of house
Mr oizo is an incredible musician and SECAM is an amazing song one of the best of the genre
Love to see this
EPIC! SO glad I had my big surround sound speakers and sub turned on for that 😁😁😁👌🏼👌🏼👌🏼
Génial ! Une maîtrise du matériel … un régal vos vidéos Doctor mix 😉
Waouuu !!! Incroyable, Merci Mr Mix !!! Je m'attendais pas à cette vidéo, je suis ravi :) :) :)
Last week I showed my son a clip about how we hung out in the 90s. And now I saw your video, I’m just delighted, you’re cool, great!
absolutely beautiful sounds ! ! ! !
Sensational! I subscribed on the basis of the sounds you got outa that thing!
Congrats on 700K! Time for another celebratory live stream! ❤
Love the energy and history lesson!
What an enjoyable presentation of an awesome synth (& plugin) ! :))
my dream synth for christmas
Shared joy of music discovery and play. Thank you.
Awesome clip, doctor 😎🎹 I’m a huge Korg fan and this synth sounds killer. I also like the Korg volca fm. Definitely one of the best synthesizers I’ve ever own.
Awesome and super fun!
My MS20 has followed me since 1978!
Now it has Kenton pro solo interface to drive it with MIDI keyboard and that's running very well (76 or 88 keys midi keyboard is recommended to calibrate Kenton pro solo as well).
Absolutely fantastic 👍👏😁
Thank you! Cheers!
I have the iMS-20 app on my iPad for years and love playing with it!
As a kid I used to wait for the flat beat video on MTV.
Now, as a 30+ year old, I also love the music.
As a Kid, I mostly liked the Flat Eric puppet 😅
So cool. Man this takes me back. One of the first songs I got off Napster
Awesome, thank you 😎
Got my first synth back in 1979
It was the Korg MS 10 what a BLAST
Claudio, please be carefull with that MS20, I was shaking while watching how you are picking it in your hands and putting it down :D :D
It's a tough guy, it can take a beating ;) Don't worry 😁
Top work guys 🫡
The pure nonchalance of Mr Oizo,
So cool to describe Flat Eric's beat - But where is your plush costume?
so creative and so funnnny
I've had this for one year when I was 17... Now I'm 54 and I still dream of it's knobs and patches sometimes!
Без сигары-сосиски не считается)
Great job guys 👍
oro puro este canal
well done!
I don’t usually comment videos like OMG I LOVE YOUR VIDSSSS, but I love this man
I use the the optical sound output on my pc connected to a NAD amp, which outputs to a subwoofer and 2 shelf sized KEF speakers. Your jams are sounding so good!
You guys are nuts on the synthesizer!
He‘s a synth mastermind .
Man I love this videos👌🏻
He reminds me to doc brown from back to the Future 😅
Bravo! More more!🤣🤣
Fantastic video
Great song to cover!
My cat watched your efforts in this video with great interest. The only one with greater interest was I, myself so I can hear the flat beat. And I did, with my cat. Thank you!
i made a hard house remix of this many years ago. WIsh we knew how to recreate it like you did, thats some serious skill
Very Cool!!!
That reminds me I was almost going to pickup a Korg afew years ago at a local store but the guy would give no discount so I backed out. It retailed at 900 dollars.. it got good reviews.
First 😂😂😂😂🎶🎶🎶🐧 looking forward Claudio. 👍
I'd love to have an engineer to work with that is that awesome. My engineering partner died and impossible to replace 😊. The groove is awesome guys.
Working with Claudio must be great! You basically have an inspirational motivational speaker by your side all day.
Genius! jajaja you make it looks easy and fun
The owners of this synthesizer know how to get all the close sounds of a PS3300 with an MS-20. The Korg plugin version is 8-voice polyphonic and that's when I discovered that with this thing I could get sounds from polysix monopoly and PS-3100 and PS-3300.
The art of sampling is not only for sampling vinyl and noises, but also for experimenting with the prerecorded sound of a synthesizer like this one.
I discovered over the years that this synthesizer makes simple sounds to play in polyphony, really warm pads and horns, very interesting flutes and really strange complicated sounds for percussion. It is perfect for electro funk, reggae, hip-hop, house, techno, d&b, uk garage, 2 step, break beat...
I experiment a lot with this thing, sampling with Logic Pro and the truth is that I am very surprised at how much I use this machine. Logic's chord memory is crazy simple, from an MS-20 lead I get a deep house style pad from the 90s... I recommend this machine to design and experiment, it hides an exciting world from a simple and basic perspective.
Thanks for the video, greetings.
musical Mad man. love it
i own a ms 20 and afew others but this patch fun cheers big ears!
My first synth, bought in -83... :)
Ok....lmao.
I truly appreciate your enthusiasm and background in everything music.
You funny.
I want to love someone like Claudio does with synths. But I have that same love and enthusiasm with my dogs and my guitar
MS 20❤
Claudio, greetings from a big Doctor Mix fan & buyer of your Music Producer’s Gold Guide. Thank you for all the videos you’ve made over the years and for sharing your gifts - your channel means the world to everyone who’s watching.
Also, 3:12 - if you want a Korg PS-series synthesizer without breaking the bank, Cherry Audio have just put out a hugely acclaimed emulation of the mythical & ultra-rare PS-3300. Would love to see you demonstrate it to us if you could. 🙂
❤❤❤🎉🎉🎉
Nice men! I will try that with my MS20 too
It’s Claudio, guys! First you like the video, then you watch it!
😊 i love IT ❤
Claudio - the music world equivalent of Gino D’Acampo. If I don’t watch anything else, this will be enough to make me smile all day.
Wooo Very good 🎹🔥🙌🏻😎🇧🇷
One of the best baselines ever
classic video and song . . hey have you guys ever done a gabber synth recreation? you could do the crazy dance in the studio too just dont knock anything over lol.
nice jam
Yeah!!!
I didn’t realize I was supposed to be headbanging that much when using my MS-20. I will now modify my playing style accordingly. And visit my chiropractor every week.
KORG, yes, but I remain nostalgic for the sounds of Mini Moog :-) Bravo for this very good video, I admire your passion for electronic instruments. Ninno nioo! lol. L O V
Love this song 💘
Recommend a listin to Mr Oizo's Positif song too
Great history lesson :). this should be renamed to 'Korg History & MS-20 Story' ! :)
Fantastic that you recreated the beat!!! Sorry if I ask you Claudio, but do you have the LM13600 Mk II filters? I just compared your serial number with the serial number database.
Bam Bam would come into my mate's studio, record on tape freestyle 303 patterns, and then cut and chop the best bits. The studio would have tape everywhere.
Korg ❤
I hope to someday have a mint condition original MS-20, there's nothing quite like it.
In 1991 I bought one of these from a guy from college who's gran had one in loft .....paid a grand total of £30 !
Allways so much fun watching you guys. I looks so easy. But I would be interested to know how much time it actually took you to put this together?
Lots of preproduction on this one. But the filming? That was quick, it took a 2-3 hours in total. EDITING took the most time 🤣🤣🤣 for sure over 20h editing in total
SOUNDS interesting 🙂
Only one Doctor Mix!
In an interview for Future Music mag. Mr Oizo sampled individual ms20 phrases into his Akai S1000 sampler.
I like korg MS series. MS10, MS20, MS50, SQ10 & VC10.
You know the Alex Ball Synth Tutorial, I believe, where in the comments Mr. Oizo himself confirms what he did: "I sampled small bits (akai S1000) and recreated the groove on my sequencer (back in the says it was demo version of cakewalk express!!) !" 😀
Dear Claudio and Louie, how about an analysis of YellO? This fabulous group (duo) is for me the next step after Kraftwerk. These Germans were theorists and cold groovy... These Swiss are just crazy and ultra groovy. Both used very dense synth sounds and dynamic beats, I think, with a very far imagination....
Among my favorite albums, Claro que si (82), you gotta say yes... (83) and the mixes (85)
You could have also gated that sound ??
Nice work guys .
I've got the full size reissue in khaki green, love it.
It's also the synth used in daft punks - da funk
No, Da Funk was done with a Roland Juno 106
@@synthetic24No it’s a MS20 and a 303. For the first riff you need a resonant HPF, which the Juno doesn’t have, nor can be it modulated via CV. Daft Punk did use a Juno on Homework, just not on Da Funk.
The MS20 is all over 90’s French House.
@@3rdStoreyChemist Not correct again. Daft Punk did not use an Korg MS-20 on the album Homework. And the riff of Da Funk is definitely a Roland Juno 106.
@@synthetic24 That's based on their live setup and an article a couple of years afterwards.
Unless you were in the studio, you can't categorically state it wasn't used. Especially when a lot of gear lists back then were intentionally wrong or incomplete.
Around the same time the producers on Believe stated it was a Digitech pedal and not Autotune, despite it being audibly obvious what it was.
Dare! by The Human League does't mention the ARP 2600 which Martin Rushant has repeatedly brought up in interviews.
It was & still is extremely common to used all sorts of gear on the album and then condense it down to a much smaller setup for live use. Which has led to all sorts of myths about the equipment used by artists. Jimmy Page is probably the most famous example of this!
attractions more powerful than promotion !
❤❤❤
EXCELENTE AMIGO Y QUE BUENO QUE HACES MENCION A ALEX BALL, SALUDOS DESDE LA TIERRA DEL TACO MEXICO!!!!
very niceley done ,i have it on vinyl
If you want the vinyl it’s yours
I mean this in the kindles possible way

Maybe for another next time, would be great to have an Harold Faltermeyer episode.
It occurred to me near the start the filter envelope could’ve maybe been sequenced as well, with the CV inputs, but layering these few tracks is almost certainly faster and easier to do in the studio 😅
Yeah. You still need a computer 😅
