For the demo video in my previous post, I did not really choose nice melodies. So I created a small composition using the outmoded sequencer:
[soundcloud url=“https://api.soundcloud.com/tracks/278944834” params=“auto_play=false&hide_related=false&show_comments=true&show_user=true&show_reposts=false&visual=true” width=“100%” height=“450” iframe=“true” /]
For this music I connected the outmoded sequencer directly, after the potentiometer for the volume control, to an audio interface. Now I recorded the sound of the sequencer while I changed the matrix. After recording I added additional elements, like the percussion and bass lines.
Enjoy!
