Native Instruments Choral is chorus I have been looking for

Native Instruments released Modpack with three modulation effects. They gave one of those free as Christmas present. I liked Phasis a lot. It was easy to use but it could do much more than regular phaser. When I heard Phasis is part of package which included chorus I was really curious.

I have searched for chorus which feels right. This video doesn't give best picture of Choral. But it and good experiences with Phasis were enough to upgrade to whole package. Choral is much like Phasis. It is easy to use and can do much more than regular chorus. After testing it for little I feel I have found my go to chorus. You can expect to hear it in many of future videos and songs.

Third effect is flanger called Flair. Video didn't impress me and after short test I didn't get it. I don't want to diss it before I understand it. I like other two. Maybe I will like Flair as much after I learn how and where to use it.

Return of Fun with Minibrute

There are musical parts after the drone part at beginning. I didn't realize how long drone part was before I watched the rendered video.

We had winter for little over a week. It included only one weekend. The one when I made first fun with Minibrute movie. I would have shot winter video then if we has sunny day then. We didn't and I waited for next weekend but we didn't have winter then. We might still get winter enoung to shoot winter video. Last weekend wasn't that weekend.

Next time I use both Minibrute and Microbrute in same video I have to have then next to each others. Microbrute sounds quite static without tweaking in during the song.

Editing Return of Fun with Minibrute

Tomorrow's video is another Fun with MInibrute video right after first one. I wanted to make winter video but there wasn't winter to make video of. Maybe next week. This time Microbrute is there too. I might make one where Microbrute is extra voice to Minibrute and call it Son of Fun with Minibrute. That setup sounds amazing. I don't do any tweaking to Microbrute. After hearing the videon dozen times it felt maybe I should have it so close I can tweak it during performance if I do this again.

Video will be another live performance. This time there won't be automated effects. There is lfo controlling reverb but nothing more. Maybe automating Microbrute's effects would have been a good idea but it is what it is. Not that it doesn't work. Maybe I am making it too big thing here. Tomorrow you can judge it yourself.

I think I learned to use keyframes in Davinci Resolve. I still think it doesn't show things correctly in color page and it isn't best possible implementation. I liked keyframes of Vegas Pro more. In Davinci Resolve you have to plan more carefully because keyframes are for whole effect not for individual parameters of effect. Or I am understanding something wrong. Maybe this is better in some cases but not in creative effects like in tomorrow's video.

Pokémon GO Night Tour in Helsinki

I guess it is time to publish another old short movie here. This was shot when  Pokemon GO was the hottest thing. I too played it when I shot this video. I had training center or what they were called right next to my home. So close I could fight from my living room. And few pokestops or what they were called where I walked anyway. So many I had storage always full. I played it couple weeks. Then it got boring.

To be honest I am not completely happy with the music. Back then I didn't do that much music and what I made didn't always work like I intended. I have made new music weekly for few months now and it shows. I am starting to get hold of it and learning all the time. 

New Year's Eve 2017 in Vimeo

This is same video I uploaded to Youtube less than month ago. Now you can watch it in Vimeo too. First video there hasn't been too popular but I will keep publishing videos there just in case people find me there.

NAMM 2018 announcements

I spent last nigh checking NAMM 2018 announcements. So this post is about them. I already preordered Minibrute 2S. These might go to shopping list as some point.

I listened every example at site. This sounds interesting but I have reservations of buying digital hardware synths. I might make exception with this because of size and Overbridge. This is already available. If I had not preordered MiniBrute 2S this would be really tempting.

This comes April. Semi modular desktop seems to be the thing now. It sounds good but so does many other synths. Still interesting but is it interesting enough for purchasing it?

These were only ones I could see buying in near future. Addition to Minibrute 2s of course. I had to go to bed before anything else really interesting was announced. I will get back to this topic if there were anything else I have something to say about.
