MmcM/Sage
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.
