 |
|
So I'm thinking of a project where I'm going full vintage - an EA1 MKII, an ES1 MKII and an ER1 MKII. And that's it. Line'em up next to each other and create a few tracks only from this rig.
Now doesn't this sound awesome or what? And tracking these babies down is half the fun. I got a ES1 already, now in pursuit of the rest. Over here in Sweden, they're never for sale, ever never, so off to e-bay I am.
All right, so maybe I'll add a compressor at the end, and some drive maybe, but that's it.Okay. |

Yep. I'm even gonna wear vintage underwear while I'm writing the tracks.
You don't need to know that. You don't wanna know that. But I had to tell you anyways. |

They don't exclude each other. But it's cool to explore a specific idea with these limitations. Not that having three vintage tribes is all that limiting. It's more a matter of a specific sound that I'm thinking they will generate. They do have a certain grimy feel to them, the first batch.
What I like about the E2, is that it's a bit of a chameleon and that you can use it for all sorts of things. I sometimes create a few drum loops, sample them and then use them with other instruments. But the Groove feature and the fx can really make the tracks swing. And I'm sequencing a Minitaur while running its audio into the E2:s Audio In as an oscillator - which works great, cause the Minitaur's output is mono, so I can apply decent delay or overdrive from the E2 and color the Minitaur's sound even more.
Quite a box of secrets, this little grey fella. |

I like this idea a lot  I've been meaning to do something like this myself, because all this gear s getting in the way of my creativity. I think I might go to the cabin and just take with a few select pieces of gear and see what happens. |

You get a more consistent sound

| I'd say get all 4 original Electribes, or the 3 mk2s & have the EM-1 be the odd looking one, and at least then you can include a piano patch in with the 3. But hey at least you can really have fun with the 3! |
