(Clean and properly synced version.)

This took me about 20 takes to record. It's not perfect (I admit I had to edit a little part) but I got fed up after hearing the song constantly for two hours. Also my secondary camera failed in the middle of the track. For whatever reason.

Unlike the previous ones this time it's again only one screen, one person and only little help of the DAW to trigger my arpeggiators (mainly drums and bass in the beginning) for them to stay in sync as well as creation of MIDI clock and toggling the Kross's Drum Track and step sequencer. Filter control is done by foot pedal and modulation wheel.

The signal chain is quite interesting in this one:
The DAW (Logic Pro) creates a MIDI clock for all instruments. It sends SysEx data to the Kross 2 to turn off and on drum track and mute the step sequencer and plays a single note twice to start the MIDI synced internal arpeggiator and drum track in time. Yamaha QY100 syncs to the MIDI clock and plays a pattern with MIDI data for the Quasimidi Sirius containing all sorts of backing tracks. The Sirius' audio is routed into the S90 ES which mixes it into the arpeggiated main lead, pad and piano. The S90's output is routed into the Korg Kross 2's audio input where it is mixed with the main drums (coming from the Drum Track and Step Sequencer) and bass line (arpeggiator) and fed into a side-chain compressor to get the necessary pumping effect. In the end only the Kross's output gets recorded. Afterwards some transition FX were added and the whole thing went through a mastering chain.

The result is a fat pumping trance track full of arps and energy. During the preparation I kinda got lost jumping when the main drop came so I forgot that I needed to press keys. xD
