A little late night meditation. . . . MS20 Mini - Manny M Distortion - TAL Juno Chorus - Valhalla Vintage Verb - Ableton EQ & Glue Compressor - This is now on Spotify btw! open.spotify.com/track/3n2FxB...
Hey I just wanted to say I love this song and I'm very glad it's on Spotify now, I listen to it a lot. This video is probably the reason I bought an MS-20 a few years ago. I watched so many videos to get a feel for it but this one really made an impact on me
I just got new headphones for Christmas. My old ones were half a decade old now, with a hanging side that needed to be taped. It was bad, and the quality just wasn't there anymore When I got my new headphones, I decided that this would be the first video that I'll listen to, because it's the most calming and enjoyable experience I've ever listened to. Thank you, for making something so beautiful, that I can now enjoy to its fullest.
A quick comment to say this is beautiful, and so wonderfully captures the joy of synthesis at its core. Your attention to the harmonic depth here is just masterful, especially using the oscillators for those huge sounding fifths. Not to mention that this should serve as a go-to reference for the unique character of that MS-20 filter. Well done and thanks for sharing.
@@oliverdowie the more I listen the more I like. If this nudge helps you record and share some more videos or music, that's worthwhile. And link a Bandcamp or something so we can support you.
@@hellodavidryan Funny you should say that, I literally just recorded a video with my Minibrute 2S with a similar flavour haha. Will be uploaded soon. I have a Spotify release in the pipeline too :)
Oh hell yeah. I love hearing that filter resonance just sawing along and all the polyrhythmic modulations in it's wake...When you push the filters with a good delay source in the mix it's a chef's kiss situation.
Hi Oliver! It is more than a year ago that i first found this video and the synth you convinced me to buy.... and I still keep coming back to it! A beautiful composition and magical patch! Thank you for all the music you keep posting!
@@oliverdowie I just braved the post-riot streets of downtown Los Angeles to buy my SQ-1. I bought my MS-20 the night the madness started. Current events are shaping my musical esthetic in ways I never imagined. RIP George Floyd.
very nice!!, I love SQ-1 (I have two) and love ms20, I have now the Behringer K2 and it is a very good MS20 version. thanks to share. greetings from Buenos Aires, Argentina.
this was fucking beautiful...I´ve wanting a MS20 for some time and today as I discover this piece of majestic sounds the opportunity to get one has presented itself and I've decided to buy it. this is amazing
Wow, so I'm about ready to go and buy an SQ-1 basically immediately to go with my ms20. Amazing. This piece totally reminds me of Steve Roach. In particular his tracks Midnight Moon and Structures From Silence. So enveloping, awesome.
Thank you so much! I've not heard Steve Roach before, thank you :) The SQ-1 is really great. It's quite limited, but at the same time, actually quite flexible, and a lot of fun. Especially when you use both CV outs and use active step to make each CV lane different lengths!
Very very nice, pleasant and melancholy. I'm redesigning the layout of my equipment, looks like getting an SQ-1 may be cool.... On top of the Ms-20 mini, I have a minibrute and microbrute which are hardwired like the ms-20 but can be patched to change signal flow....and then there's the drumbrute which I sort of regret, but with some effects maybe it can be a part of something as chilled out as this.
hey, greetings from Tokyo. I have to say this video triggered me to purchase the MS20. You created something truly beautiful. I probably played this 50 times, not even joking. Could I ask you, how do you mane the SQ1 tempo speed to be so slow? I'm trying but it is way faster than your sequence. Thank you in advance
Sorry for the slow reply! Hold down the play button while turning on the SQ-1 to enter parameter settings. The position of the sequencer mode knob allows you to change the step resolution. I believe if you set the knob to the "up-down zig-zag" setting, that sets the steps to play quarter notes. Then you just hit the power button and it'll save the settings and reboot. Look up the SQ-1 manual if you get stuck :) Thanks for the compliments too! Means a lot :)
Nuevo.Studio i hear you man. This really sounds nice. There is another channel with very similar nice feeling. if you search in youtube MS20 mini Moog Sub 37 you find this other song. I hope you like this as well.
Thanks Oliver, and wondering how you've managed to so much lower the tempo of the sequence? Is that the tempo knob min. setting or by an external clock?
This patch is absolutely gorgeous. I've been trying to reproduce it but I'm still very much a beginner at sound design (MS-20 is my first synth). I don't suppose you've got patch notes for this I could see? Thanks so much
@@angusica11 new as well but I'm assuming one important part is the overdrive hack you can do by feeding the signal out (top right) into the ESP input (bottom left), then feeding the output from that (there are like 4 outputs so I guess, go as far right as you want depending on what features of the ESP you want to use) into the external signal in (it's the third port on the top row I think). From there, not sure but that will give you the fuzziness I imagine. Just adjust the ESP knobs until the overdrive sounds nice. I'd say the patch is probably made using either both saws of the osc 1 triangle and osc 2 saw. Got some fuzz but I think it has a lot of hum to it. Also, with the paraphonic nature of it at some points, you can get that from the SQ1. Haven't done it myself but looking for MS20 SQ1 paraphony will give you loads of tutorials. I hope this sort of helps. I am brand new to the MS20 so I have no idea either but that's all from what I've learned so far.
cool&inspirational😀 time to dig out my old MS20 but I don't have a sequencer... would SQ1 be best or something like Arturia keystep?Any advice please, thanks.
