    Why has it taken me 5 years to find this kind of a video... WTF

    It's crazy cool to me that MIDI was made exactly 40 years ago and it stood the trial of time to this day. Dave Smith and Sequential had a huge impact on the modern music industry and I think many people don't realize, as they're not nearly as big as Korg or Yamaha. By the way you said MIDI was invented by Dave Smith Instruments - they were actually called Sequential back then and DSI is the name they had to take for the recent couple of years after they decided to reactivate their brand and they eventually reclaimed the rights to use the original name - Sequential. They were the first that allowed musical instruments to talk to each other in a modern way. They also revolutionized synthesizers, connecting the analog with digital and taking the best out of each domain. Dave passed away a year ago. Rest in peace Dave :(

    oh snap. ive have formally surpassed previous incarnations of geekdom, and have entered the midi twilight zone. i actually understood exactly how you chain everything, and even what equipment you are using. i dig the euro synths! im using all native instrument gear, with a couple token pieces of akai pro audio. to be fair and honest, i did learn to program general midi c back in the middle 90s when i was working as an Apple Multimedia developer. Ill also say that todays midi gear is so far beyond what we began with back in the day. general midi was , to paraphrase einstein, spooky from a distance, and we referred to the phenomena as voodoo, as we also used the term scsi voodoo. sometimes it worked, sometimes it didnt, hence the name voodoo, and scsi voodoo. crap. i just dated my self. im old as dirt apparently, but kickin out some decent progressive trance, and post industrial groove porn, with a new album scheduled for release towards the end of the year. you my young friend, upon seeing what youre working with, appear to have a bright future, indeed. cheers.

I knew of it but still haven't done it no need in my set up. I've always wanted to ask you what do you record your jams with. Sometimes I use a tape deck a dp02 or logic x it all depends on my mood and how I feel about its potentail. SOMETIMES all 3. Anyway keep on makin the great vids we APPRECIATE you!

    This vid is as informative as it is rare. Major props! I have an old rack mount version: The TC Helicon Voiceworks which does have 'in,' 'thru,' and 'out,' options. All I want to do is send it into an old Yamaha synth that has 'in' and 'out' midi. Would I simply run the 'in' and 'thru' cables to the back of the Yamaha? Thx.

      If you did a deep dive on your software you used you would probably feel overwhelmed pretty quickly. Hybrid setups are the most effective.

    Loving your new studio setup, especially the volcas and POs box+mixer arrangement. My humble arrangement is sounding worse the more complex I make it. Got problems with mix and individual audio levels (cheap and nasty mixer is probably the culprit) and now I have midi problems. Was using a midi merger box (up to 4in/4out) which is usb powered but it doesn't work properly now. Reverted to simple midi split cables and now I can't have one of my keyboards in it ...ARRGGHH! Think I need to do (yet another : ( } RESET on the whole system. The volca mixer for just the volcas and POs has given me an idea...Thank you ; )

    Great video. It is worth mentioning that you are using midi clock. I used to be confused about the difference between midi clock and midi time code. Midi clock simply transmits simple start, stop, continue and song position commands. A clock "tick" is transmitted 96 times per beat (if I remember correctly).
    I like how you set up the volcas along with the pocket operators. Where do you get all those nice stands from?

    Love the set up & definitely subbed..Q: I have A few things like volca, a pocket operator and kaossilator which has midi along with my midi controller mpk 49. I bought a interface (scarlett 2i2) but know there aren't enough inputs for all. (Also having a dj set up, with a rane 62 mixer) I do have ableton. I just don't know where to go from here, and would using an interface along with a splitter be something that works as a "hybrid" type system.or a 4 ch type mixer? I wanna sync my gear together but also record. Cant find much on this. Any help is appreciated. Thanks

    Thanks for making this video! I just got my fist pieces of gear to get going on, but got stuck on how to connect stuff together. I was wondering if you have a photo of how you connected your Volca setup? Basically, what I have atm is the volca setup you have plus an elektron digitakt and am trying to hook those up together, I'm still a little stuck on that part. Would you happen to know how to hook up an electronic drum kit to this kind of setup by any chance???
