CEB Posted October 12, 2014 Share Posted October 12, 2014 [video:youtube] I have a board with a step sequencer but I really do not want to take it out for one song. Would this be something I should do on the FA's arpeggiator? Is there a small hardware step sequencer that could do this? Maybe a Korg Monitribe or Volca? Thanks.

DanL Posted October 12, 2014 Share Posted October 12, 2014 Use the FA sequencer and loop a measure with that riff. We tried that song for a while, it didn't work for us. No crowd reaction and placing it in the middle of other dance songs would clear the floor.

CEB Posted October 12, 2014 Author Share Posted October 12, 2014 I didn't realize the FA sequencer had a step mode. I guess I can record the 3 notes and select. 1/4 T notes.

DanL Posted October 12, 2014 Share Posted October 12, 2014 yeah, that's how I did On the Run, stepped it in. Pretty easy. For Hella, you could just play it once and the loop it. Probably easier than stepping it.

CEB Posted October 12, 2014 Author Share Posted October 12, 2014 I can try playing it. I suck at sequencers. Sometimes you can tell where my loops end because I either don't understand quantizing or I just suck. I hate sequencers. I need a Sequencers For Dummies book. My only sequencer I ever really liked was the one on my SH-101. LOL. "It doesn't have to be difficult to be cool" - Mitch Towne "A great musician can bring tears to your eyes!!!

Usually a 1st set song for us. But Hella got nothing and we thought it would work, and it didn't.

CEB Posted October 13, 2014 Author Share Posted October 13, 2014 We didn't expected Hella Good to go over. It is one of two old tunes we threw in the set to take up space. The other is Jump Around. Hella Good is going over well hence the need to add the chugga chugga part since we are now keeping it in the set for a while. Since we are only doing new stuff maybe it is the song the older women know. We are targeting 21-35 year olds.

blong5150 Posted October 13, 2014 Share Posted October 13, 2014 We open the 2nd set with it also. It goes over well about half the time depending on the sound / lights of the venue. The one I didn't expect was the song we follow it with "Raise Your Glass" - Pink.... They go nuts over it. I just do the chugga chugga on a track.

Mogut Posted October 13, 2014 Share Posted October 13, 2014 if anyones interested ive the sample isolated so that all you have to is apply it to a key (low C for me) and just keep your left hand tapping thru the song PM me -Greg Motif XS8, MOXF8, Hammond XK1c, Vent Rhodes Mark II 88 suitcase, Yamaha P255 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ian Benhamou Posted October 14, 2014 Share Posted October 14, 2014 Those aren't triplets btw. 2 sixteenths and and eighth note. If ever you're entering it into a step sequencer and you select eighth note triplets as you're subdivision it ain't gonna work. Sixteenth notes are what you're after.

AnotherScott Posted October 14, 2014 Share Posted October 14, 2014 Those aren't triplets btw. Right. When I first read the post I thought, what's that about, there are no triplets in that song... ;-) When I did this a while back, the guitarist played that part, which left my hands free for both of the main verse keyboard parts... one of which they don't play in the live version posted with the OP, and I think it sounds kind of empty without it. It's the kind of synthy-harpsichordy sound under, for example, the first two lines of the first verse, before the second keyboard part comes in on the third line. [video:youtube] Maybe this is the best place for a shameless plug! Our now not-so-new new video at https://youtu.be/3ZRC3b4p4EI is a 40 minute adaptation of T. S. Eliot's "Prufrock" - check it out! And hopefully I'll have something new here this year. ;-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
