Full Disclosure: I occasionally take on freelance work at Sonicware on an hourly rate producing synth & sample sound design, beta testing, checking English text, video manuals etc. This video wasn't paid for directly but as a result of my work with Sonicware it is marked as Paid Promotion
It's been a really long time since I've had time to record a jam, but here's something I've been wanting to try for a while. I've had the Roland S-1 for a few weeks (actually maybe months 😅) without any time to actually dig in an make some music with it. It pairs very nicely with the Sonicware Lofi-12 XT sampler which in this video is handling drum and instrument samples as well as sequencing the S-1 via midi. I've even gone to the extent of making some custom DIN midi to TRS midi cables so I can connect the two together without the need for the usual clunky adapters. The audio from the S-1 can be run through the inputs on the XT for monitoring, adding FX and of course sampling, but here I've run the two devices into my DAW separately for recording. No FX were added after recording apart from a tiny bit of EQ, everything else is the FX on the S-1 and XT respectively.
Btw, it was also a good excuse to try out my new jam recording area and new Galaxy S24 phone camera. I've set up an extra area in the studio so I can record things when the mood takes me, even if I'm recording paid content in the main recording area. Good to have options!
