iVCS3 Demos by James Edward Including Pink Floyd's “On The Run”

Published on Nov 14, 2017 James Edward

iTunes: iVCS3 - apeSoft

"Pink Floyd’s 'On The Run' cover only using iVCS3 as a sound source and Cubasis to record each separate iVCS3 sound on multiple tracks. These sounds will be released via iVCS3’s Preset and Mod Shop in late 2017."

Note the above starts with "On The Run" and then goes into additional demos of iVCS3 by James Edward. There are a couple of non iVCS3 demos, but considering how many more iVCS3 demos there were I went with the full channel playlist.

via James Edward in the Top 3 iOS Synthesizers ( Best of 2017 ) post by Todd Smith:

"For me there is no more nostalgic iOS recreation than iVCS3. Though it is a difficult beast for most to get to grips with (just like its hardware original) the satisfaction of programming all those iconic sounds is surpassed by none."

Inter-app CV Control... iVCS3 Filter Controlled by Model15 CV via AUDIO Connection

Published on Aug 21, 2018 James Edward Cosby

"Hi, this takes my Audio CV idea a step further into Realtime Audio Voltage Control. The #MoogModel15 is patched to output it's LFO directly to the 15's Audio Bus, this bus audio is routed via #APEMatrix directly into #iVCS3 's Audio Input Lines. iVCS3 is patched to run a sequence using Osc1 & 2 via iVCS3's Filter, the CV Audio arriving in iVCS3's Input 2 is then patched to modulate iVCS3's Filter Frequency!... Have fun!"

Unka's "Todd Barton patch test for iVCS3"

Published on Aug 2, 2016 UnkaTom

"This is me testing out Todd Bartons patch he made a few days ago on a REAL VCS3 (suitcase) in my lowly iVCS3 iPad clone.

He provided a patch diagram but I think real VCOs trounce the tiny capabilities of iVCS3 ... mercilessly. I was quite careful about the settings but clearly the suitcase has a differing patch matrix (you can see it if you check his vid). [posted here]

Anyway, Todd was very generous to share the patch (a true educator) thus I wanted to see if the iVCS3 could come near it.... Bwaaaahahahahahaaaa oh well, it's still fun.

Unlocking synth mysteries is cool!"

iVCS3 2019 JEC Inter-City Sequence

Published on May 20, 2019 James Edward Cosby

"Short demo performance of iVCS3 JEC 2019 Preset Bank - Preset "JEC Inter-City Seq" taken from a soon to be released 2019 Preset Bank... Endless fun...

This preset uses a punchy JECV Envelope encoded File fed into Input 2 to modulate the Filter via Matrix Row 9, the filter is also Inversely Frequency Mapped to the Sequencer Notes. The percussive sounds are provided by the noise module set to high colour and filtered. The sequence is interpolated to give the illusion of layered sequences...

The 2019 Bank A is in progress... more demos to follow... Get the 2018 Banks available now in iVCS3 Preset & Mods Shop...

iVCS3 Tutorial #5 - Using the Sampler on the iVCS3

Published on Mar 15, 2015 Digital Jeepney

"The iVCS3's built-in sampler might not be a sampler in the most traditional way (you can't pitch it up or down with the keyboard) but there are so may things that you can do with it to enhance your patch design. Check it out!"

Old Grit - A Collection of Filthy Patches for the iVCS3 - patch demo

Published on Mar 18, 2015 Digital Jeepney

iTunes: iVCS3 - apeSoft

"I'm giving away a library of presets I made for the iVCS3. This collection embodies my love for imperfect, dirty, slightly ugly sounds that are both edgy and warm reminiscent of old tape recordings. Some presets are variations of one matrix patch, and not entirely unique, created for the convenience of switching from tone to tone without dialing in different settings each time. Don't forget to read the performance notes to get a better understanding of each patch's controls. Have fun and go crazy with it! Drop me a line if you find these patches useful in any way.

Disclaimer: Some patches are softer than most. When using these super soft patches, please do not forget to turn down your device's output volume before switching to the next patch. This would prevent damage to your hearing and/or equipment. Use these patches at your own risk. I shall not be held liable for any damage to property or hearing resulting from the use of these patches. Safety first! The iVCS3 can get very loud in an instant. Keep your device's audio output at moderate levels.

JEC Pink Floyd On The Run iVCS3 Performance Pad Test

Published on Feb 28, 2018 James Edward

"This short video shows a test of The On The Run Travel Sequence which is part of my Free Pink Floyd Iconic Sounds Preset Bank due for release in early 2018 via the iVCS3 Preset And Mods Shop. A feature of iVCS3 is that the first four presets can be "Morphed" in real time and therefore is ideal to use in a performance situation! #iVCS3 #VCS3 #PinkFloyd #OnTheRun #TravelSequence #JEC #JamesEdwardCosby"

The original of course was done on the EMS SYNTHI.
