"The amazing music (composed by Masato Nakamura and Yuzo Koshiro) is from the 8-bit version of the game, released in 1991 (yeah, more than 25 years ago!) for the Sega Master System and Game Gear oh man, how much I LOVED it back in the days! " Vadrum writes in the video's description. But for anyone for whom Sonic the Hedgehog's soundtrack is second nature, it's fun to watch a master drummer put his back into keeping time for the Blue Blur. If you've got folks around, or neighbors through the walls or floors, keep in mind this is eight solid minutes of drumming. tunes from 2008 netted him more than 12 million views, but only now has Vadrum turned his attention to Sonic the Hedgehog. This is Vadrum - Andrea Vadrucci, the Italian drummer who has racked up about 83 million YouTube views since 2006. This is one of the early tests of same setup. Plus there is a simple 8 channels FX send matrix to send channels to Fxes randomly or manually. Its allows me to make a new combinations by mixing uTonic presets & channels via using Stripper's Randomize function. Green monitor buttons 1 to 8 mute/on/solo (Status) for the 8 audio outputs of per instance Grey knob = Midi Program Change, switches Freestyle snapshots so the uTonic presets That 23 green buttons at left are Bypass parameters of the Freestyles. So 23 x 128 presets ready to use all the time!

Saves and recalls whole uTonic preset instantly.Īll 23 Freestyle has one uTonic and 128(max) snapshots (uTonic presets actually) inside. (just in case this is not the LBX-Stripper's Snapshot system) Shortly: freestyle gives a workaround to pass 16 program limit of uTonic. Second important part is NewSonicArts Freestyle. This is the main-core part of this setup. you can create kind a control surface with it.via collecting/ inserting the parameters from the vsts & vstis into Stripper.and tweak dozens of them take snapshot and recall anytime you need by one click. what you see is Reaper & extension (Lua). Just remarkable especially in the face of it's "peers" (though it basically has none).Ħ days until I get Synplant! Yay! (yeah, I'm poor)Īlso trying to pull off an entire MT + vox only song, but it's taking a lot of work, so that will come in a bit! :) It's criminal that it should take so little given the power of the sound itself. Oh and let me also hugely second the STUPID low cpu usage of this thing. To have amazing presets like that means I can just put my hands on the keyboard and start playing and get my idea out before it flies off into creative outer space, that's tremendous! Once again it fit the song perfectly and kept me inspired while writing parts on top of it and that is huge to me. No sequencing in the DAW environment outside of volume automation. Meaning, it's basically just a slightly edited preset (which speaks to the quality of the presets!!) and the entire song is sequenced from the pattern blocks in MT itself. This time I used it in a sort of "my own personal robot drummer" role. Here's another new one, 100% MT on the drums. Ok first off a big huge massive overwhelming thank you to Magnus and Erik!! Nobody really listens to my music and so to even give it the time of day, and much less a compliment coming from the creator of two of my all time favorite instruments (maelstrom + microtonic) is just insane!! Thank you guys again 1000x!!

Great software guys! Sonic Charge has always been top notch in my book! :) Hopefully these little tips will help others too. This can really make a big difference, at least to me. Play around with mid/side in the midrange. On the highs use the "side" info and boost to taste. Boost only "mid" information eq on the low end, rolloff all "side" low end. It really seems to put everything where it needs to be.

I think one of the keys to getting microtonic to cut through a mix is mid/side eq. I'm very glad that you liked the sound of the uTonic track. Oh yeah, I used their StereoPack as well on the uTonic track :) I believe Aether added a lot to the body / sound of uTonic. I compressed the Mid channel of the microtonic, then went into a vintage warmer by PSP Audioware, and the EQ was Aether. Hmm, well I know that I used "OldTimer ME" compressor by PSP Audio (get it now it's $79 till end of the month) which allows compression of Mid or Side aspects of the stereo field. What is it? Just good eq'ing, compression & reverb?

I like the "body" you have given to µTonic here.
