Ive been away for a bit, but here’s something new for ya!
This is the next video installment of my “On A Columbo Tip” live show material.This time around it’s the live version of “Diggers Anthem”.
I play & record the beats on the MPC.Theres some Controller One type stuff on the PDX3000 turntable, A DIY switch box (for muting sounds from the mpc), Looping with the RC50 and some scratching and fx too.
Nothing is too technical on its own - I wanted it feel more like the song and didnt want to turn it into a scratch or mpc “routine”. I hope you enjoy the music!
The audio was recorded all in one take with no editing . If you want to see that, theres a version of the video of from just the front angle . Change the url to =fYOjLhjkz2s if you want to see it.
Buffalo ill - Thats a yamaha su10 sampler. Most of the new midi controllers of that size are usb only and i wanted to do this (and my other live tracks) without the computer. I remembered playing with one years ago and thought it’d do the job nicely. Eventually i want to build my own controller so i can switch octaves more easily and do pitch bends and stuff.
no its not processing the audio.the vestax pdx3000 turntable responds to midi - a higher midi note makes the platter spin faster, the low notes make it spin slowly, and you can hit any note in a 3 octave range. the problem is finding a suitable controller that is small enough to put next to the decks and has a din plug - most of the new controllers of this size are usb only.I bought the su10 on ebay i while ago cause it fits both those criteria.
