Chords for People skiing...or musical notes?

[Cm] _ _ _ _ [N] Oh, man, oh, man, ah
[Bb] _ _ _ _
You _ guys know that equation that's like the number of synthesizers you [E] need is the number of synthesizers you have [Em] plus one
_ _ _ [Eb]
Well the math checks out _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
[C] _ _ Do you want a level two system?
[E] Level [D] _ _ _ [F] _ [C] two.
[E] _ _
[Db] _ [Ab] _ [E] _ _ [Db] _ Okay, so I've actually had the Grandmother for about a month now.
Everything you just saw was filmed earlier, and [Eb] I've added it to about half the tracks on my new album. _
It's called TV and Video Games.
I'll link down below where you can get it.
Today I want to do something that I've been thinking about for [Ab] months.
I've got to thank Sabrina, aka Stakeachino on Twitter, for sending me this idea.
There's a photo that was going around earlier this year of some cross-country skiers shot from above.
It's pretty awesome.
It looks very much like musical notes.
Let's record this as a sequence into the Grandmother.
[F] _ [C] _
[Cm] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ [F] So now if I hold down any key, the sequence will play back.
Although if I want to hear it at the original pitch that I entered it in, I have to hold down the first note of the sequence.
[Cm] _ _ _ [F] _
[Cm] _ _ _ _ _ Nice.
And if I also press hold, it just keeps going without me having to put my finger down. _
_ _ _ _ _ _ [Fm] And then if I also clock it from an external module that's also sequencing some analog drums while tweaking the filter cutoff
and send that to an audio interface module that's going _ into_
_ _ [Cm] _ _ _
_ _ [Eb] _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ [F] _ _ _ _ [Cm] _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ So _ [F] _ _
[Cm] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ [F] _
_ [Eb] _ _ _ [Cm] _ _ _ _
_ _ [N] for all my music theory nerds out there, that is a 35-beat loop on the synth.
And it's playing over this 4-4 drum beat, so it takes this many repeats before it all syncs up again.
The only art is making polymetric analog techno tracks to promote a new album of lo-fi-ish hip-hop beats.
TV and Video Games out now.
I'll link it.
The Grandmother is all over it.
It's literally all over it.
I put the Grandmother on the cover art that I commissioned.
Should we do a super fast, quick, speedy review of the Grandmother?
Moog have made a really affordable Moog synthesizer.
You get that beautiful low end, classic filter sound, super nice build quality as they always do.
This thing is hefty.
One thing that everybody's flipping out over is the spring reverb they put in.
That's a real spring reverb.
There is a spring inside there that is reverberating.
Thanks for explaining how spring reverb works, Andrew.
I want to highlight two of my favorite features.
The first is the sequencer that I was using.
It's super easy to just enter notes.
One cool thing about it, though, is that there's this direction function.
You can play it back in order, you can do sort of a forward-backward pendulum, or you can do random.
I really like random for sort of generative material, where I can enter in a whole bunch of notes,
and the notes that I enter in more often will appear more often in my randomized sequence.
For example, let's play two octaves of [Db] a C minor [Eb] scale.
[Gb] _ [Ab] _ [B] _ [Db] _
[E] _ [Ab] _ [A] _ _ _ [Db] Let's add a couple of rests.
Let's add more Cs, _ and more [E] Eb, _ _ and [Eb] more Ds.
_ [N] Our sequence, when we play it, will hang out more on those notes, but still be all [Eb] this C minor-y [Db] stuff.
_ _ _ [Eb] _ _ _ [Gb] _ [A] _
[Bb] _ _ _ _ Let's [Gbm] patch up the [Eb] sample and [Db] hold [Eb] to [Dbm] change our filter cutoff.
A bit more [B] spring reverb.
[Ab] _ [E] _ _ [Eb] _
_ [E] _ _ _ _ [Eb] _ _ [B] _
_ [Eb] _ _ [E] _ My other favorite feature that I [Dbm] want to highlight, let's do it on this [Eb] sequence, it's [A] the [E] hard sync.
[A] _
_ [Abm] _ [A] _ _ _ [Dbm] _ _ [Ebm] _
_ [E] _ [Db] _ _ _ [Eb] _ [E] I just love how that sounds. _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ [N] _
_ _ _ _ _ [Db] _ _ _
_ _ [Dbm] _ Alright, thanks for watching.
See you next time.
Oh, have you heard that I have a [F] new album out? _
_ [C] _ Oh.
_ [F] _ _ _ _ [Em] _ _ _ _ [F] _ _ _
[C] _ _ _ _ [F] _ _ _ _
