"-EDIT: To see where I'm currently at with the track, here's the Ableton screenshot shown briefly in the video: http://dave.gl/jsb_ableton.png !!!This is a quick preview of my latest work. I recently purchased an MFB Microzwerg analog patchable synthesizer, so I just had to record a beautiful Bach work with it.
The Microzwerg is, indeed, 100% analog. The only digital part is the MIDI to CV/Gate converter. Apart from that, it's VCO's, not DCO's... and it's just sheer beauty to play around with!
Now, to record the track - totally like Wendy Carlos did, I suspect - just one note at a time, without MIDI sequencing, just pure hand-played... and creating patches as you go, as there's no patch storage, so the sounds will change (which rather makes the track come alive!) is really great fun, but it's also a hefty amount of work!
So please, comment, say what you think! If you like it, great, I could use some encouragement to finish the last ~65% of the music score. If you don't, well, I'd like to hear that as well!
All the best & love,
David
