A misty theme

"The basis of this theme is the 16 step bass sequence which I made up last night while walking the dog. The bass sound is a patch I used the last days to make a fat bass sound. It uses the saw waveform of the two Q106 VCO's and a waveform from the MiniWave. To make it more organic I used the Lopass Gate clone which is slightly modulated by a LFO to vary the volume.

Today I received a Roland SR-JV80-03 Piano expansion board for my XP-80 because I don't like the standard piano sounds in it. And I need some good piano sound for the band I occasionally rehearse with. On this board is a patch called 'Morning Mist'. And with C2 slider turned up and all the effects turned on it gives this ghost-fading-like sound. Those two ingredients together formed the improvisation you see and hear in this video.

The transpose of the 2 sequence rows is performed by using a Behringer BCN44 which is on my left and not visible in the video; you can see the long MIDI cable from the sequencer over my legs which goes into the BCN44. The self-built Modular begins with a 4 step sequence and later on it changed to 6 and 8 steps. The Waldorf Q Keyboard is imitating a EMS Synthi AKS with these typical Jean Michel Jarre sounds. The solo is performed on the Clavia Nord Lead 1."
