Henry Purcell's The Funeral of Queen Mary on the OB-6 synthesizer by Sequential/Oberheim


video upload by Sean Christopher Synthesizers

"I did this back in 2018, but the track was removed by 'she who shall not be named' due to mentioning her work on the synth recreation of the piece that was featured on Stanley Kubrick's A Clockwork Orange. True story! Anyway, I thought that I would remix and master it and put it back up without mentioning "she who shall not be named"."

"Today I'll show some cool sounds and set up with the SER-2020 by AnalogFX.
This is an analog monosynth based on the Synton Syrinx, wich means it's quite an unusual design compared to your classic Minimoog or SH-101.
I find it hard not to think about Aphex Twin when playing with this, hence the click bait thumbnail ;-)"

Fantasia for Buchla 200 Synthesizer: Recorded at EMS Elektronmusikstudion

Buchla & Halldorophone Improvisation at EMS Studio, Stockholm

video upload by Ebe Oke

"Recently I had an amazing time immersing myself in the world of modular synthesis at the renowned EMS studio in Stockholm, Sweden. 🇸🇪 Here is a short document of arranged improvisations on the mind-bending Buchla synthesizer and a stringed beast known as the Halldorophone. I’ll be returning to EMS later this year as a composer in residence.

The Buchla modular synth, born out of Don Buchla’s visionary mind in the 1960s, is a testament to pushing the boundaries of sound creation. Unlike traditional instruments, it ditches the conventional keyboard and focuses on generating entirely new sounds. The patching system offers an expansive range of tonal possibilities, while the metallic touchplates enable unique tunings of these sounds.

And let’s talk about the Halldorophone for a moment! This fascinating instrument, a brainchild of Halldór Úlfarsson, opens up a whole new realm of expressive possibilities. This instrument played similarly to a cello utilises a positive feedback loop as a key element in generating its sound. By amplifying and routing the vibrations of each string through the instrument’s internal speaker, one can manipulate the gain of each string in the feedback loop, resulting in wild and unpredictable surprises.

Thank you, EMS, for fostering a creative haven for research and discovery. I’m counting down the days until I’m back in the studio! 🧡"

The Phantasmal Force is also sending six different sequences (one to each voice of the MIDISID). The sequences are different lengths, and follow different subdivisions of the master tempo. Sequences can have their notes, velocity and probability randomized. Notes can be locked to 43 different scales.

The NTS-3 is just here to add some fun ear candy.
