Dave Smith Instruments Poly Evolver & Prophet '08 Strings and Bass

Dave Smith Instruments Poly Evolver Keyboard: String Quartet Patch

Published on Dec 21, 2014 Sacred Synthesis

"This improvisation uses a patch resembling an old-worldish string quartet in a large auditorium. It uses four sawtooths closely tuned, "slop," and a deep delayed vibrato, combined with the modulation wheel assigned to the filter cut off frequency for making dynamic changes. The upper range of the Evolver unfortunately has some audible digital aliasing.

Instrumentation:
DSI Poly Evolver Keyboard
DSI Poly Evolver Rack

Reverb from Lexicon MX300 and Alesis Nanoverb 2

Recorded directly to CD

Dave Smith Instruments Prophet '08: Strings and Bass

Published on Mar 11, 2015

"This little improvisation is all Prophet '08. It's meant to demonstrate two sounds: a string patch which is an emulation of a typical vintage string machine, as well as a rather menacing bass patch with all sorts of modulation.

Because the string patch uses Stack Mode, the instrument is reduced to only four voices. This makes it extremely difficult to avoid all "popping," as each voice is reassigned, due to your frequently running out of voices. It's especially true with such a transparent sound. You have to choose your notes very carefully, and trigger them with a deliberately disconnected technique. It's a reminder of one of the challenges of playing synthesizer: namely, each patch requires a unique playing technique, especially in light of its envelope setting.

Instrumentation:
DSI Prophet '08 Keyboard (2)
DSI Prophet '08 Module

Reverb from Lexicon MX300

Aflecht - Module Lunaire (modular synthesizer music)

Published on May 15, 2015 aflecht

Some additional info in via aflecht:

"This song showcases modular synths in modern music context. Almost all sounds were done using modular synths.

Mutable Instruments Braids was responsible for all eurorack oscillator duties.
Analog Solutions SY02 and Doepfer A-106-6 filters were used for all eurorack sounds.
Oakley Sound Systems 5U modular was used for non eurorack modular sounds.

Drums were done with Native Instruments Battery 4.
The polyphonic lead synth in the chorus part was done with Logic Pro X's RetroSynth.
Sequenced, recorded, edited and mixed in Logic Pro X."

AHNE 2015 - a terrifying room full of synthesizers and their insanely lucky owners

Published on May 17, 2015 hamsterdunce

"Another month of May, another annual Analog Heaven NorthEast (AHNE) gathering. This year it all went down at the Berklee College of Music in Boston, MA, in the rotunda of the Genko Uchida Building. Most people don't even get to see this kind of stuff in person, let alone touch it. One attendee called it a 'Synth Petting Zoo.'

This video breezes around the entire room in an almost unfairly brief fashion. Around every turn there was yet another mind-burrowing megapile of cables and knobs waiting for a scientist with a 300 I.Q. to actually figure out how to use. One presented even had a brainwave interface.

Granted, on a music level, there was about as much soul in the room as a stale can of tuna fish, but this gear isn't about soul. It's about building a sonic robot army in your basement and terrorizing your neighbors at 3AM.

"This Auction is for a genuine original and highly collectable Moog Synthesizer US belt buckle. It would date from most likely the late 1970's and was given to my father by a close friend of the late great pioneering founder Bob Moog. It is in very good condition for its age and after a polish would look great worn or kept as a collectable piece."
