You Can't Go Back #1

"An experiment in doing longer-form videos: I show a patch, then take it apart and rebuild it, explaining how it was made and why it was made that way. "You can't go back" because, once you change something, you can never get it back to way it originally was.

This is also a blatant display of how to use various flight of harmony modules (some not yet released), because of course it is.

How does the Crystal Dagger sound? (Buchla Music Easel & Erica Synths Echolocator)

video upload by PanicGirlVids

"I had a lot of fun with this one 🫶

I imagined how the Crystal Dagger from the Princess Mononoke movie could sound… does it sound mysterious or clear and bright? Does it have a spirit of its own? Could it be connected with the sea and its waves because of its bluish colour?

All sounds were made with the Buchla Music Easel and the Erica Synths Echolocator."

Why Everyone Wanted an E-mu Emulator (The Story Behind the Icon)

video upload by Ian Dixon

"The E-mu Emulator is one of the most influential musical instruments ever made. From Pet Shop Boys and Depeche Mode to Genesis, Rush and countless film composers, the Emulator helped define the sound of the 1980s. In this episode of TDL Synthchat, I'm joined by Peter James Steven from the Pro Synth Network to explore the complete history of the Emulator family, from the original Emulator I through the legendary Emulator II, Emulator III, Emax, Proteus and beyond.

Peter owns several original Emulators and even helped develop the Emulator 5 "Vampire Rack", giving him a unique insight into the evolution of E-mu's groundbreaking samplers. We discuss the iconic string sounds, why the Emulator still has such a devoted following, how it compares with the Fairlight, and why many musicians still believe nothing quite captures the original hardware.

If you're interested in vintage synthesizers, classic samplers, 80s music production or electronic music history, this is an episode you won't want to miss.
