After the unofficial Korg Electribe 2s "Hacktribe" firmware i decided to try another time this kind of machine upgrade. This is the turn of the Korg Volca Sample "Pajen" firmware that adds some interesting funtionalities like Bar Filters (permits to play a single pattern on a longer cycle, for example every 2 or 4 bars) that allow to make longer sequences or the "Probability" (you can add to every step a value from 0 to 100 that represent the probability of a note to be played) that permits to create variations and a semi-generative approach to the sequences. This last function is the one i used the most in this 2Step / Uk Garage jam, expecially on drums. All the sounds are loaded by me , all the basses and some drums are synthetized from scratch using basic waveforms, the pads or melodic sounds are made with basic waves and single note flutes / winds / voices samples. Enjoy!

DEEP GENERATIVE 2STEP UKGARAGE JAM with KORG VOLCA SAMPLE PAJEN Firmware

Watch the full performance here: https://youtu.be/Q1Y3I7WLjfA

Another outdoor jam, this time i used my Korg Volca Sample (with Pajen Firmware) and Volca Drum. For both devices sequences i used a lot the probability in order to create moving and evolving sequences, enriched by drums variations and glitches made with the Step Jump. I recorded in multi track using two different recorders: a Zoom H1on and a quite vintage Sony Minidisk, i captured the different sources witout sync then sinced on Ableton Live. Enjoy!

AMBIENT GLITCH JAM with KORG VOLCA SAMPLE and VOLCA DRUM

Watch the full performance here: https://youtu.be/feVxSSEGzr8

Another outdoor jam in this hot italian summer! Also this time the perfect pair of machines is the solid couple of battery powered volcas: the Drum wich is perfect for this kind of intricated beats and totally unedit sounds, the Sample with the unofficial Pajen Firmware that cover all the melodic sounds. I'm using on both sequences the probability, a function (relatively new for me) that permit to give a lot of variatons to the beats and the harmonic part. Another function i'm using a lot is the "Step Jump" mode on Volca Drum, unfortunately the first Sample had a bad (to me) version of this mode that permits to jump though the single steps of the sequences then return to the original beat. It's always a pleasure make music in the nature, enjoy!

OUTDOOR ABSTRACT ELECTRONICS with KORG VOLCA DRUM and VOLCA SAMPLE Pajen Firmware

Watch the full performance here: https://youtu.be/iurh035CTnI

As a first 2024 video i wanted to make something different mixing dawless music with AI generated videos. For the audio i used the Korg Volca Drum (for drums and basses) plugged into the digital multi FX Zoom B1on (with a custom FX chain) and the Korg Volca Sample - Pajen Firmware - for ambience and pads, also this one pluggedinto a digital multi FX the Zoom G1on. For the visuali generated some videos from prompt on Pika Labs, trying to create the sequence of an urban exploration from an abandoned house to a underground river. I mixed the AI generated images with a real life recordings so this is the result... enjoy!

DARK AMBIENT JAM with KORG VOLCA DRUM SAMPLE (Pajen Firmware)

Watch the full performance here: https://youtu.be/zrJlfVFhXs0

New summer jam with my Korg Volca Sample - Pajen Firmware. In this jam i tried to make granular synth basses and FX using a really small portion of looped samples in order to create new sounds from kicks and other standard samples. Using the motion recordings (step by step) i made some extra movement with the "loop start" searching for different harmonics. The result is a wide range of gritty and rich bass sounds perfect to fit halftime drum and bass music. I processed the Volca Sample with the Zoom G1on multi-FX processor using compression, overdrive, EQ and some spatial FX. Enjoy!
