Quick half an hour test of some pad sounds with the M-Audio Viper. 

The bass and the wave-like noise comes from the Monotribe (slow triangle LFO controlling filter). The main pads with digital kind of noise is the "Grain Pad" preset of the Viper with some adjustments of filter frequency and resonance, and LFO rates. The little bell is the "UltraBell" preset, the Vangelis-like chime is the "Fake FM" preset and I already forget what the last pad is but it was also a default preset.

Got my Korg Volca Beats and Volca Bass today. Synced them up with the Monotribe and this is the first test I did. Very simple and straightforward, just muting and unmuting tracks and playing with a couple of knobs, as well as some badly played pad sounds in the background from the M-Audio Venom.

OP-1 first experiments

All of the sounds are preset sounds from Ableton Live 9 Intro, except for the pad that comes in at 0:41, which is a preset from U-he Zebralette.

Noodling in Ableton

Noodling with lead sounds from the Microbrute (with a bit of reverb) and a bassline + drums from the Monotribe. Gave up playing in any way properly about half way so it gets kinda shit after that. Recorded as is from my mixer, no post processing whatever.

Microbrute And Monotribe

Quick improvisation. Simple sequence from the Microbrute sequencer, which is also sending gate (clock) to the Monotribe with a bass and drum sequence, which are mangled through the Monotron Delay, which also provides some noisy drones. Most of the movement comes from twiddling the filter, noise level, and LFO knobs of the Monotribe, as well as the cutoff and delay time on the Monotron.

Real-time reverb from my Behringer mixer's built-in effects processor. 

Some compression added, but otherwise as recorded straight from the mixer.

Knob twiddling with Microbrute + Monotribe + Monotron Delay

Just a quick idea I made in Ableton. Maybe I'll flesh it out later (probably not).

Chord and bass sounds made ad hoc in U-he Diva. Sax from the DSV Saxophone plugin. Bassdrum from the Wave Alchemy MS-20 drum sounds set, rest of the drums are from the default 808 kit in Ableton.

Sax at night

The Microbrute can go crazy with filter overdrive, especially in bandpass mode. I'm still unable to play in any key except D minor. The Monotribe provides a slow background pattern (tempo knob at minimum), through the Behringer EM600 delay.

Audio recorded from my mixer with way too much reverb again.

Glitch002

An Arduino microcontroller programmed to give random gate signals (at exponentially distributed intervals) to a Microbrute playing through a stereo delay. The pitch CV is coming from a Korg SQ-1 sequencer. Bass and hi-hat from a Korg Monotribe and a chord from a Volca Bass. Some knob twiddling later.
