KVR Audio

Hi I need to know if anyone besides me uses the MicroKorg synthesizer. I plan on making some bloopy sounds out of it. I am an advanced Audio Engineer since 2005. Also I need help with creating the bloopy 8 bit sounds out of the Korg's synthesis system in the unit. can someone post a setting example out of the filter or oscillator or any of the built in edit functions? I am still new to prtogramming my korg. I have been playing it since may. but I am still new to programming it. I have alot of patches for my MK. Some you can find on the MS2000 Microkorg group on Yahoo. SID type patches are what I plan on making.

the next thing I need help on is making my built in Vocoder more robotic and more Daft Punk Style. If you have heard the band Daft Punk or listened to the Synth Pop Band Kraft Work you would hear the kind of Vocoder sound i want to get out my MicroKorg. I know it is very difficult to program a 8 Band vocoder but I plan on doing it. if anyone knows of an easy vocoder tutorial to use for an 8 band let me know.

thank you so much.

I've heard so many mentions of the SID recently, is this because of timbaland its become a fashionable sound?

I dont know I know I have been playing the old style video games since the 80's, and I love the nintendo video game style music. There are alot of old style japanese and american musicians who use a tremendous amount of skill to the video game ethnic of music. * bit SID chip style music can be used with midi and some handy VSTi's. Ive never heard of Timbaland though sorry.

It's from the 8-bit/chiptune scene- it's what all the kiddies are into-

Yeah I know all about it. Know how to code a simple arpeggio in C64 Basic.

Why would you want to use the Microkorg (="virtual analogue") to make 8-bit sounds (=oldskool digital) when there are a lot of VST-emulations you could use.

Also "Synth Pop Band Kraft Work" are actually called Kraftwerk.

And by the way; what exactly did happen in 2005 that made you an advanced Audio Engineer?

I like my microkorg. it is very cool I am an audio and midi guy and I like both. I prefer audiko but I like to use midi for soft synth. sorry for the kraftwerk error. well I actually started recording in 2000 with cool edit I just started using sony acid in 2005. sorry foro the errors.

and also I have been playing for a long time so i guess i am an advanced musician.

People like Rob Hubbard or the Follin brothers were real masters in building soundtracks and effects and influenced an entire generation of musicians. From my point of view, their contribution to electronic music is much underrated. Listen to Wizball or Led Storm videogames music: amazing!
