Used a Korg Wavestation and a Yamaha VL70m for most
of the show. The horn-like lead textures on
"4 Winds" have the VL70m on top of various samples in the
Wavestation. The Wavestation provided the groove and percussion
sounds.
The groove was on MIDI channel 1 with other sounds
on channels 2 , 3, and up.
Then on the Synthophone, the
Thumb-X-press was set to switch
between channels.
This allowed Randy to play an "
obligato voice
"over the triggered groove.
The data from the breath interacted with elements of
the groove, bringing out different drum sounds relative to breath
pressure.
Also, the lip pressure controls the
tambourine sound.
Finally, the number of voices were varied in real
time by "
keying in
" 1, 2, or 3 added notes.
The Synthophone was in "
multi-channel mode "
So, each added voice went to the next higher MIDI channel. |
