"Tidal Waves" - electronic theme with DotCom modular, Korg 01/W, TR-505, Polara, Dan-Echo

Published on Sep 30, 2017 SynthMania

"A typical synthmania-style jam recorded in real time to simple two-track stereo. When I have a chance I'll re-record it properly in separate multi tracks with studio effects. Powerful modular bass & lead, trance-inducing high string pad, good sounds in combination- overall, a haunting track. The key is Gmin. The tempo is 96bpm.

Gear used and technical data:

Synthesizers.com modular split:
- 3 osc bass (Saw32' + Saw16' + Saw16' thru Q107)
- 3 osc lead (Pulse16' + Saw8' + Ramp8' thru Q150)

Roland TR-505:
- bass and snare only; the muted rim triggers the dotcom bass line

Korg 01/W FD pad: 'A18 Tidal Wave'

DigiTech Polara modulated reverb is applied to both the TR-505, and to the dotcom lead, utilizing stereo/dual mono inputs/outputs

Danelectro Dan-Echo delay is applied to the dotcom bass line.

Roland JU-06 Noodle

Published on Sep 30, 2017 100 Things I Do

"A very quick noodle with the Roland JU-06. I had an original Juno-106 for many years. Its lush chorus was and is so unique anything you use it on instantly has that Juno sound. Unfortunately my Juno 106 suffered dead Oscillator IC's at a time where replacements were becoming very hard to find (lucky Roland Australia still had some in stock the early 2000's). I decided to move it on while it still worked and invest in something modern and digital which seemed the correct decision at the time!

These days with the modern IC replacements they should last a very long time. I might get one again soon, until then the JU06 sounds close enough to keep most people happy... just a shame it only is 4 voice poly!

I created a basic sequence in logic then added an manually edited ARP about mid way. I used the Soundtoys Echoboy Jr for delays and the Valhalla Vintage verb for .. well .. 'verb :D"

Rephazer - Synthstrom Audible Deluge Live Techno Set (1st try out)

Published on Sep 30, 2017 Rephazer

"Just some fooling around on the Deluge which I just bought 2nd hand. Only samples are used and the audio is recorded directly on the Deluge. As you can see I am still learning the device and it's workflow which is completely different to the Elektron workflow that I am used to, but it's a really cool machine and no crashes yet!!"

Roland boutique SE-02 (studio electronics) sound demo

Published on Sep 30, 2017 ollilaboratories

"Next up testing in the boutique series is the SE-02, and really this tiny little matchbox of a synth sounds like a SE-01 and Model D on steroids.. it is just completely bonkers. :D and it's analogue dammit!!

I had the original model D when I lived back in Europe, and seriously, this is really really close to the feeling and oomph that it had. Adding the extra features.. well, its just becomes next level stuff :)

FYI, the signal might be just a bit hot at times / and yes, there is a little jam at the end :D

So, a few words on the video and format. There are heaps of demo-videos out there already with the SE02, and my take on this is to noodle around and do sound design/demo and give you insight how i personally work with synths when wiggling with knobs. So no feature deep dive, I try however to add some subs when there are weird stuff going on, and I hope this helps with clarity (if not, please ask in the comment section below).

And YES, i use FX (not all the time), if you have questions on where and when it is on, again please ask.

FX (from right to left connected in series) .. audio out from SE02 in mono to SolidGoldFX electroman (BBD delay), Catalinbread CSIDMAN (granular delay), tc electronic ditto X2 (looper), Strymon el Capsitan (tape echo), Strymon blueSky (reverb) -- to mixer and 2 track. The track is slightly normalized to keep some of the peaks under control, else what you see is what you hear.

I hope you can enjoy it!!
