Bro, this is so great. Thank you. I really have been listening to your music non stop. I play it in my orchestra classroom when kids come to class every day to set the mood and I often drive and sleep to it (not at the same time) lol
Thank you for this, and I also appreciated the backstory about the failed first take, and the decision to write the whole thing off to experience if it failed again, definitely made me smile..
Really a great and helpful video and thank you for showing the cables and the hook-ups. So many people make vids where they show a corner of a pedal, sequencer or other effects boxes, like it's a secret or something, and never share the cables and hook ups. You do it right! Thanks!
I've watched many of your videos, they're absolutely brilliant. I'm slowly putting together a small, minimal synth + pedal setup in the studio for the time being (perhaps for live performance later). Admittedly I sometimes feel overwhelmed with all the routing, having a basic 2 in 4 out interface, if I should get a mixer to route everything through (so to have the option of just jamming without a DAW, much less be looking at a screen) or get a patchbay, etc. For now it's basically a Minibrute 2 and an MS-20 Mini (adding a Moog Mother 32/SubH/DFAM in January), with a few pedals on the way (Meris Polymoon, Ventris reverb, Strymon El Capistan and FC Shallow Water). I've seen great videos on the use of patchbays in lieu of a mixer but I feel a mixer is a bit more flexible, no? I can see everything going inline from one synth to a few pedals into an input on the interface, but once you start adding 2 + synths a more than a couple of pedals that you want to rout a few different things to, a routing hub, not too unlike what you have there, could be very useful? Even a small 12 channel Soundcraft or Mackie type of thing? Would you consider doing a video on basic routing for those starting out with a small-to-medium setup, how to interface with a DAW, maybe have the option of running a microphone through the pedals, also the option to mix through them from the DAW out and back in, etc...love your channel, learning so much already!
A mixer Is really important to me. Id go with an ssl six, or wait for their new bigger model. Anyway try to find a 4 aux send model to play with effects!
You've got to love buying from Perfect Circuit: "Out of Stock", "Out of Stock", "Out of Stock", "Out of Stock", "Out of Stock", "Out of Stock", "Out of Stock".
thanks man for this very clear process and perfect ambiance. I am following your pace, with vermona, and few effect and I found it very relaxing . you inspire my music journey in Paris and your explanation is so helpfull. I don’t say I do the same, just a fraction, but this is very rewarding. This vermona is so tactile. still control it with deluge, I will dig into octatrack in few months ... step by step . thanks again .
I think electronic musicians forget to ask themselves the most important question: The question isn't: What kind of electronic music do I like or would like to make? But rather: What method of producing electronic music would I enjoy? You changed the way I make music. I think now of building a song vertically instead of horizontally. A sort of contradiction - building complexity within simplicity. A single repeating phrase or two and building up the sound, tear it down...and building it up and moving the song forward through modulation/synthesis instead of constantly introducing new melodic and harmonic phrases, etc. Although my 707 has 8 tracks, I use three tacks per external synth so that I can build up using one single synth, and then and only then I might add another synth to add some further texture.
I agree with you about the Fairfield pedals, such a shame they are not stereo. The Strymon Deco might do (part of) the job but still. In terms of weird/"destructive" pedals, I found this Black Hole Symmetry from Collision Devices, which can be deadly! Anyway, watching your videos always make me drool on the Perfourmer. I'm quite close to pull the trigger on one of those, but I'm worried that even though it sounds lush, it might also get a bit "samey"... Thanks for sharing your workflow, it's always very interesting and informative, and always a go to when I lack inspiration. Cheers!
Will check that out. I would not really worry about the samey issue. I feel each musician have its own voice. Just aim to be honest with your work and you will be fine :)
Send pizza, gelato, and beer to this guy. Even if you're used to putting together tunes with changes and chords you can leave that out of an electro performance and focus on evolving textures as Federico points out. Also you can focus on short sounds and get the tails and sustains from the effects. And if you have drums you can try having only one drum play on one step, which sounds pretty cool even when an actual drummer does it. All these rules among others are meant to be broken of course but quickly get you into electro land.
Thanks man, big fan of your music. The DW is a cool pedal, lot of character

@@OoraMusic thx too ! Love your texturized atmospheres. I see you're also big fan of tape sound hehe We should try a back2back perfourmers someday 🎶🖤 Actually i've check the ChaseBliss products and the Mood sounds also super interesting. Now i need a new mixer to use all these inserts 😂
You can try instead of using Y cables: come out p4m into the effects and into the abcd input of the OT, here you can manipulate all four the mono tracks separately and have a master on track 8 (maybe it’s more for of a live environment with fewer pieces of gear) but the mangling capabilities of the OT are so powerful for me! Anyway love the video, the idea and the sound.. very nice selection of gear as usual! Continua così @OoraMusic
Hey Alberto! i tried having all single channels on the octa but was a little overkill. Also im using neighbor machines for more fx, so i would need all the 8 tracks. Would be a super powerful setup tho!
Hi you! I got a perfourmer mk1, im wathing some pedals to buy, you know i it's possible to insert more pedals on a single vermona voice?.. like i can not find a solution in my mind of wich cable i can use to do something like this. Would like to have a Fuzz and a Flanger on the same vermona voice but don t know if possible
Does using the inputs to run external audio through the filter eliminate the synth voice (synth OR ext input) or can you put both through at the same time?
Great video again! question: does the sound of the vermona get routed through both the mono output per track AND the stereo output on the back of the unit at the same time? or is it the one or the other? And how did you connect the output of the individual pedals to your model 1 mixer? mono jack to 2xrca cable? or do all the pedal outputs go in your octa?
Oora when you record midi notes on the Octatrack do you use the same pattern for all 4 channels of the Perfourmer. Or do you have a different pattern and notes for each individually. Ive been meaning to ask you this for a while. Thanks. Love the sound explorations in Cinematic mode :).
I saw a bunch of videos where you explained your routing. I really love your sound and I have kind of a similar setup with an Octatrack and a performer. do you always leave things in the center of the stereo image?
@@OoraMusic Thanks a lot for the answer. Now I'm even more impressed :D Do you do a simple eqing in the Octatrack? I always wonder how you get that clean sound. And that even without using the stereo field. I'm thinking about getting a model 1.4 because I also want to go further into performance, but I'm afraid that the mixing possibilities are too small because I have a drum machine and a polysynth in the setup.Maybe too much overlapping frequencies.
Hi there! Just amazing, came here after the track to see how it works. May i ask just how each track from the Octatrack goes to each section of the quad synth? Thanks!
