Alex Ball

A look at how the Korg MS20 and SQ10 sequencer were an intergral part of the sound of a group of German musicians in the late 70s and early 80s.

0:00 Intro
1:09 Der Mussolini DAF
5:02 Los Niños Del Parque Liaisons Dangereuses
8:10 Minimal Tape 3/7.2 Pyrolator
10:48 Sample Pack
11:38 Outro Jam / Patrons

Huge thanks to Brad Holland and my patrons and patreon.

Synth settings (these are my estimations, rather than certain):

Der Mussolini

VCO 2: Off
HPF: Not used
LPF: Cutoff at 0 and peak at 2 / EG2 modulation set to 10

Then guitar amping / stereo reverb

Minimal Tape 3/7.2

VCO 2: Square wave up an octave
VCO 1 level 4 and VCO 2 level 3 (to allow envelope and filter clicks to be heard)
