Chapter 15 - Add Instruments

New Instruments Experiments.

I had a friend visit me during a weekend, he is a shy musician but has a lot of instruments, including lots of drums (as it is a drummer:)

My friend brought me a Micro Korg.





The Micro Korg
It's perfect, but too limited to work.
It's nice to take some sounds, but just that!
It's a vocoder too, which is beneficial for voices as well as specific sounds. It can make a very original effect in the music.
It's perfect equipment for live performances, but not in the style of the music I try to make here.
It's more of a (techno-minded) music machine.

a Mixer

The Mixer
Here we connected everything.




and a Kaoss Pad

The Kaoss pad
It can be beneficial to add some final effects to the overall music or make slight variations in the final sound played. He can make some extra sounds on top and other special effects.
With Kaoss pad, I think it's good just to make some minimal changes in the total sound, but it's the only one I can see included as 1 more instrument.



For now, my friend has left me the Kaoss Pad for me to have a try, but he will take it back in some months' time.
I end up not using this much.

Chapter 3

THE RETURN OF THE BEAST


Meanwhile, I was waiting for my Birthday present :) I put my hands back on the machine and start to reconnect everything to the PC. This time, I didn't connect with my music PC; I connected to my personal PC, an old IBM.

This time, there were no problems at all!
I performed the exact same installation of the program and the drive for XP, and the program and machine started to work perfectly.
So, what was the reason I had so much trouble getting this machine to work on my music PC and on this one was working fine?
The problem was because the mouse socket was connected with a USB adapter and the pins of the plug from the machine didn't get precisely the same effect and provoke impaired function...

Luckily, I found 1 of these Machines for sale on eBay and I got all the images to post here.

Again, the sale of this WAVDJ (machine) was without the software !!

Here are the plugs I mentioned. Many of the PCs these days do not have this connection, now it's all in USB.


All its plug and working fine for now :)
