The EMU Phatt is very easily rewarding, especially when using the Beats programs or other programs made of several sounds laid over the keyboard. The MPC is somehow harder since you must be rather accurate when playing for the rhythm to sound good.
The microKorg, thanks to its sync-ed arpeggiator and its modulation wheel is also rewarding very quickly. Various circuit-bent toys were also pre-mixed and then fed into the Kaoss Pad as well, to get the best out of them.Įvery machine has its own appeal: the Kaoss Pad 3 is the most appealing at first, but then it gets more difficult to master. There were also a 49-keys Casio keyboard and a Yamaha SHS10 mini handheld keyboard, both used as MIDI controllers to drive an EMU Turbo Phatt. The machine set was primarily composed of an Akai MPC500 with various programs (drums, stabs, acapella chops, etc.), a Korg Kaoss Pad 3 with an Shure SM58 mike and a Korg microKorg, all MIDI clock-ed together, and all mixed into a Yamaha MG12/4 with a Boss SE-70 reverb send. Jam Session at home with friends from cyrille martraire on Vimeo. Here is a time lapse overview, unfortunately silent: It was amazing how everybody got into it! Some arrived saying “no no no I will never sing in the mike”, but ended up doing the mike to record voice loops into the Kaoss Pad… Other spent time to figure out how to play something musical from machines they were touching for the first time.
