Tempest (three)

YouTube Uploaded by soundsubs on Sep 30, 2011

"DSI Tempest, part 3.
This time I opted to show the '16 beats' mode with live switching of beats and realtime FX. This is also showing the power of the drum sounds and the programmability inside. You can really get some nice pretty patterns or some glitched out mayhem at the sweep of a slider.

..now taking requests!"

"Elka X 705 1970's organ working 85% (please read) As used by J M Jarre, a wonderful piece of 'over the top' 70's technology. All is working except for the strings (cello and voice) which is half sounding with a a kind of low-fi rhythmic 'jutter'. All else works as it should - organ, synth (with expression filter cutoff, attack, portamento etc) and drum machine and bass pedals..."

SAM Sequencer Addon Module - Oberheim SEM VST

via music-service.de

"Get the classic analog sound for your PC ! SAM is a recreation of the famous Oberheim™ SEM analogue synth module.

Our goal was to catch the typical analog sound of the original hardware emulating circuit instabilities, while leaving some limitations behind; so the plugin is polyphonic, allows more than one MIDI modulation source, has an extra LFO for pitch (reacting on the mod wheel) and a noise oscillator.

But besides this extensions, the plugin is following the simplicity and sound options of the original. Clear layout, easy to use, full sound.

64 presets included. A demo version is available.

Have a listen to the sound examples or download the PDF-manual."
