Best Ambient Synth Shootout #125: Arturia MicroFreak - Song 3

video upload by Christian's Sonic Spaces

"This is the third song with the MicroFreak. It's a monophonic/paraphonic synthesizer with a digital oscillator section containing 12 different algorithms and an analog filter.

I used for the recording the following FX chain:
MicroFreak - Zoom MS-70CDR - Pigtronix Echolution 2 Deluxe - GFI System Specular Reverb 2. Depending on the recorded track some FX are deactivated

The signal went through a Presonus StudioLive 16.0.2 into the PC via USB for recording. To create the complete song I recorded consecutively several stereo tracks. The final song was then mastered with a bit EQ and compression on some tracks and some limiting on the master track.

Well, I decided to go back to the basics, but at the same time make something useful for the synth community and do a kind of competition (I like competitions;-). What's my best synth for ambient music :-)"

The Transformative Magic of Effects ft. GFI System

"Let's check out how cool it is to run normal boring synthesizer sounds into lush stereo effects. We'll use the GFI System Synesthesia dual modulator and Specular Tempus reverb pedals on the Arturia Microfreak and transform basic sounds into something much, much cooler."

Relight - A Synth Jam with the Blofeld and the Specular Tempus

video by Lanthan O'Ide

"A retrofuturistic synth jam, performed in an age when a stainless steel rocket has just been chosen to go to the moon. Exciting times. :)
================================
For those playing along at home:
The tempo is at 60 BPM, and the key is E major.
================================
About the title:

This one is space-flight related, and oddly specific. :)
In general, successfully relighting a spacecraft's engines is a cause for cheering at mission control. Because a) restarting a rocket motor is more tricky than restarting a car's engine, and b) if the engines fail to relight, things will go bad and / or explodey fast.

But, for me, the term "relight" is inseperable from the Everyday Astronaut's callout during Starship SN8's test flight.
I had stayed up late that night (CET) to watch together with hundreds of thousands of people from all over the world as SpaceX attempted a high-altitude test flight with a Starship prototype for the very first time. Watching the rocket master almost every single one of it's spectacular maneuvres at the first try was absolutely pure joy.
After the vessel came skydiving from 10 km up while moving itself precisely over the landing pad, having the engines relight to actually transition to the landing burn was just the cherry on top.
(And then the landing ALMOST went explosion-free. But hey, still an incredible success overall)"

Best Ambient Synth Shootout #101: Kasser DAFM Synth - Song 2

Christian's Sonic Spaces

"This is the second song with the DAFM Synth. It's an FM synthesizer based on either the YM2612 yamaha chip (used in SEGA Genesis / Megadrive home consoles and various SEGA arcade game systems, including the Mega-Play, System 18, and System 32) or the cleaner sounding YM3438 chip (as in my DAFM) without the crossover distortion in the output. Both sound chips has six channels with four operators per channel.

I used for the recording the following FX chain:
DAFM - DigiTech Obscura - Pigtronix Echolution 2 Deluxe - GFI System Specular Reverb 2. Depending on the recorded track some FX are deactivated

The signal went through a Presonus StudioLive 16.0.2 into the PC for recording. To create the complete song I recorded consecutively several stereo tracks. The final song was then mastered with a bit EQ and compression on some tracks and some limiting on the master track."

Strymon Big Sky vs GFI SYSTEM Specular V3

Published on Apr 24, 2019 synthlegends

"Comparision of two great reverb pedals. The very popular Strymon Big Sky against the quite unknown GFI SYSTEM Specular Reverb V3.

The Strymon contains 12 algorithms and a lot of parameters, whereas the GFI is ab bit simpler. It contains only 7 algorithms. But it costs only about half the price of the Strymon. Soundwise both are great. I prefer the GFI, because I think it sounds warmer and is incredible for ambient stuff.

I tried to compare some similar algorithms and didn't manage to match exactly the same settings.
1. Big Sky Shimmer vs Specular Shimmer
2. Big Sky Cloud vs Specular Spatium
3. Big Sky Magneto vs Specular Echo
4. Big Sky Chorale vs Specular Voices
5. Big Sky Hall vs Specular Spatium (less intensive than in the first example)

I hope this video helps you to find out, which is you pedal.

I played everything on Oberheim OBXa stereo into the pedal and stereo out.

There are no additional effects or mastering used.

Thanks for watching !"

Oberheim OBXa with GFI System Clockwork Delay V3

Published on Apr 22, 2019 synthlegends

"In this demo I only used one hardware effect, the GFI System Clockwork Delay V3. No other effects or mastering is used, also no plug ins. The Clockwork Delay is a quite unknown pedal from Indonesia. I like the tone very much and it is a nice delay for ambient stuff. It complements very well with the OBXa.

The Clockwork is great for synthesizers, because it has got 2 analog ins and 2 analog outs. It makes great stereo and ping pong delays. There are 7 algorithms like DIGITAL, ANALOG, DUAL, DIFUSE, AMBIENT; MULTIHEAD-3 and MULTIHEAD 4. More infos on www..gfisystem.com

Thanks for watching and listening."

GFI System Specular Reverb v3 - Synth Demo [No Talking] Feat. Korg Monologue

Published on Sep 16, 2018 Oscillator Sink

"The GFI Specular Reverb v3 is a digital reverb pedal with 7 modes based around a reverb algorithm that's especially well suited to lush ambient washes. The modes are Spatium (the basic algorithm), Modulated, Shimmer, Echo, Tremble, Voices and Infinity.

The controls are kept simple so that anyone can pick it up and get going but have a wide range allowing you to take things over-the-top when the mood takes you (and it will - it really shines when working at the outer-reaches of its controls).

In this demo I pair it with a Korg Monologue. I keep the patches simple to let the Specular do the talking (but hey, doesn't the Monologue sound cool with a bunch of reverb on it?)."

GFI Clockwork V3 And Specular Reverb V3 With Modor NF-1m

Published on Aug 8, 2018 Perfect Circuit Audio

"The GFI Clockwork V3 and Specular Reverb V3 are stereo delay and reverb pedals with 7 algorithms each. We used the Modor NF-1m synthesizer as a sound source, this digital synthesizer has analog style routing with a formant filter as well as a regular filter. The Clockwork's delay algorithms have some standard digital, analog and multi-tap styles as well as some interesting diffusion and ambient delay types. The Specular Reverb algorithms include standard sounds as well as some more unique sounds like a vocal reverb mode.

Volca Keys Ambient Jam with Specular Reverb V2

Published on Dec 1, 2017 Slenterende Beer

"I just got my GFI System Specular Reverb V2 and this was the first sounds that came out when I hooked it up to my Volca Keys. I loved the sound so much that I just uploaded it here.

I used the Zoom MS-70CDR just to add the delay, which you can clearly hear at the start. The Volca Keys' delay is so noisy, which can be cool, but doesn't sound great when combined with a high-quality reverb like this.

Please use headphones to listen to this clip - the stereo reverb is great.
