 Conversation with MmcM/Sage group, famous AY-
musician, about his famous technique :)

Alone> How do you write music: what kind of music do you have? 
channel layout? 

Usually I have the outer channels in my arrangement
A andC - for theme and ornaments with arpeggios, 
aB - for bass and drums.

Alone> Is it necessary to specifically calculate what─ 
Which ranges are used in each header─ 
se? For example, you make sure that at the same time 
The same songs didn’t sound in different channels─ 
hundreds of foundations? 

Yes, it’s better to foresee this right away! Usual─
but when this happens, I immediately hear
sounds scary. Better in three channels is─
use different frequency ranges: when─
moderately low in the central channel (possibly
but, with medium or high elements - c
chord ornaments in minimal quantities─
ties), and in the left or right there is already a middle
range, and according to taste and idea a little
down or up :) I usually feel all this─
eat, there are no universal recipes ;)

I almost always have ornaments0,3,7 minor,
0,4,7 major and their variations0,0,3,3,7,7 or 
0,0,4,4,7,7 - or 0,3,7,12 and 0,4,7,12. 
Again, everything is selected intuitively when─
Yes, some other chord is needed.

Alone> How do you choose a topic that 
moves on the ornaments mixed with 
chords? 

I take the same notes from the chord and come with them─
I wash the search structure, applying higher─
lowering or lowering some notes by an octave.
And at the final stage I add embellishments─
using ornaments like19,0,0... or something else─
kim.

Volume is also intuitive. If imitation
echo, then alternating volumeF, A at times─
variations:

 C-4 1F.F
 --- ....
 E-4 ...A
 --- ....
 E-4 1F.F
 --- ....
 C-4 ...A
 --- ....

Alone> How do you choose the theme of the “chorus” for 
the theme of the "verse"?When the accompaniment has already been written, I turn on
it in a loop and select a theme on the midi key─
ature in another sequencer, creating in virtual─
This synthesizer has a similar sound. Then already
I add the selected topic to the tracker.

Alone> How many different drums do you have─ 
kov? 

I usually make new drums every time, ta─
likekick (boom), snare (tyzh), hihat
(cycle). As the composition fills, the idea─
I can use a tone sample with a very
quick slide to simulate toms (tum)
drum kit using different notes
for a varied sound. I usually dilute─
I layhihat with different volumes through the note, like
in reception with echo emulationF A F A F A.

Alone> How do you spell your signature bass with 
Glides? ) 

Do I have a signature bass? :D After
how the bass line structure was invented,
I also add slides intuitively :) This
used more as decoration.

Alone> How do you select slides to match─ 
flax fields? 

Slides are added as a decoration for the melody,
as in the bass line. You feel it -
what can I add here with such and such soon─
there is a transition from note to note.

All this needs to be shown in a good way :)
video format preferably.

I'm interested in the logical connection now─
devicewith real YM to PC and beyond─
the latest development of this piece of hardware. I need in─
instrument (iron synth) that would produce─
shaft analog.

Alone> Maybe real with connected fi─ 
liters per channel, analog, controllable─ 
mi...You can connect them to the proprietary 128K 
via MIDI, but no one has done that. And you ins─ 
instrument for sampling or for projection─ 
laziness? Otherwise you can cool it like Klaus Schulze─ 
lks turn for an hour straight, and the listeners are in tran─ 
se :) 

For sampling. Everything else I'm on PC
I'll do it. And filters, as I need, automatically─
ation, and everything else. I need an individual─
dual sound YM2149F, with specific prog─
jerking like in trackers. I can pervert
achieve all these overflows in FL, but one thing
not really - a combination of tone and envelope.

Alone> By the way, I still haven’t checked, 
Is the tone phase AY reset according to sig─ 
Reset Nalu. But in Vortex Tracker it is 
always seems to be the same) 

Yes, the sound there is terrible, after the real thing :) It's been a long time
If only we could write a normal tracker from scratch and
The hardware was connected, but no one cares :)
The best thing is a box that can control─
traveled over the air (wi-fi or bluetooth) to
in terms of sound extraction, and the tracker itself is cross─
platform and preferably for tablets. C
piano roll so you can write with one finger :)

The important factor here is fanaticism and time rea─
lization... So far there is no interest in AY/YM at allfell.
