Sounds of Ambika

"Playing with combined presets in a MULTI setting. 3 voices for each sound... one is a constant beating bell-like sound, with interesting modulations, and the other is a plain lush pad sound.

My second day with the little beast and I just wanted to share why I'm so happy with it! Beautiful sounds out of this little machine!

Out of curiosity, this is a 6xSMR4 Ambika being controlled by Animoog for iPad. I can't really show any playing skills with those tiny "keys", but you can hear how it sounds, and that's what really matters.

My girlfriend was responsible for filming this (and also the next video!)..."

Sounds of Ambika - No 2

"Again, showing a MULTI on the Ambika, controlled by Animoog. It's simply an incredible synth with lots of tonal possibilities and an amazing analog filter to go along with the digital wavetables on the osc section.

This time I'm using 3 layers: 1 with a 4-voice pad; 2 mono synth with an arpeggiated up pattern; 3 a monosynth with another arpeggio up&down pattern, available only on some keys. The sounds are more basic, but shows the other kind of sounds this amazing thing can make. I'm just scratching the surface since it's my second day with it! :)

Don't mind my playing skills with the iPad... I'm originally a piano guy and the tiny "keys" on the screen makes it difficult for me to play (I could make the keys bigger, but I would miss the range I wanted to play on).

6xSMR4 filter on this Ambika! It was build for me by Laurentide Synth Works BTW..."
