Gestures Gear VBlog: Roland Juno-106 and Sequential Circuits Prophet 600 Duet
YouTube via AccumulatedGestures | January 29, 2011 |
"Casey plays a quick jam on the Juno-106 and Prophet 600, recorded into Cubase with no EQ or effects. The first half is played with the Juno providing chords and the Prophet providing the lead, before Casey swaps over for the second half.
There is a lot of talk about the slow envelopes of the Prophet 600 but I haven't seen many clips on Youtube really show what it sounds like when in action. Mostly, its flattering strings/pad synth videos that sound incredible. In truth, the envelopes are not a problem for a lot of sounds and it really does sound AMAZING as a string synth, but there are some sounds that are problematic for the software envelopes.
When Casey is soloing on the Prophet, the slows envelopes sound fine and the Prophet VCO sound really cuts through as a nice lead compared to the mellower Juno. However, once Casey switches over to comping on the Prophet the lag of the envelopes becomes quite obvious and distracting. Clearly not a job the Prophet will be filling in our music.
More videos of the Prophet and the Juno are to come. Apologies for the shallow depth of field - still getting used to filming with a Canon 5D.
