0000 0000 1000 0110 1001: Live in the studio by Hypergol (Oberheim OB-X8 instrumental)
video upload by hypergol
"This track utilizes the first patch I made after unboxing the amazing OB-X8 from Oberheim. It's a nice, lush, unmistakably "Oberheim" pad sound using the OB-Xa 24db filter. It starts off with the patch split, with an arp on the upper layer and then moves to double mode (stacked) with 4 voices panned hard left and 4 hard right. On the album version, I didn't do any stacking, opting to double track instead so that I could get the full 8 notes of polyphony. There are some challenges when limited to 4 notes, particularly with envelope triggering. It's fairly obvious here in the latter section of this live performance, as there are some notes that aren't nearly as soft as I'd like them to be. The beautiful modulated plate reverb from the Audiothingies Doctor A helps to make things less jarring. In this performance, I occasionally sweep the filter of both layers (rather poorly) with a foot pedal. The battery on my real camera is dead, so no fancy moody bokeh in this video, unfortunately.
Check out the original track over here on my bandcamp page:"
Bladertronics: Oberheim OB-X8 Frippertronics style looping: Clockwork, Nemesis, Valhalla, DoctorA
video upload by hypergol
"I bought a looper pedal recently. It doesn't work. It's bricked. I'm pissed. Rather than make a video of me smashing it with a hammer, I decided to buy Valhalla Delay instead. It's essentially exactly what I need for what I want to do: Frippertronics with synths!
Here's the signal chain:
Oberheim OB-X8 to JRockett Clockwork Analog BBD and Audiothingies DoctorA modulated plate reverb in parallel OB-X8 and BBD output to Valhalla Delay - tape setting with 7 second delay time and about 80% feedback Valhalla output to Source Audio Nemesis set to slow ping pong
Source Audio Nemesis to DoctorA reverb
This is my first time using the delay plugin. I didn't really practice with it, and it shows. I actually cut the first 3 minutes of this performance as it was a mess and too choppy. Last time I did a Frippertronics synth video, someone said that I should try key changes to keep it interesting. That's what I attempted to do here, but I didn't exactly work on smooth transitions. It would probably make sense to assign a knob to control Valhalla's feedback parameter via midi, so I could bring the level of the entire sound bed down and then start a new one in a different key. That would have been a good idea. Oh well, stuff to work on for next time!
As for the sounds in the video, I'm bouncing back and forth between 2 patches that I made shortly after unboxing the OB-X8: a triumphant pad sound in double mode, and then obviously a Blade Runner style CS-80 lead sound.

Fripper Tripper (Frippertronics with synths: DSI/Sequential Pro 2, Lyra-8, Boss RE-20, DD-20)
video upload by hypergol
"For Black Friday, I bought myself Boss DD-20 and RE-20 delay pedals specifically for exploring Frippertronics. They showed up yesterday and I promptly recorded my first jam. It starts with a simple 2 oscillator drone from the modular running through a spring reverb tank (1 Eowave Titan and 1 Roland 512 VCO) The melodies consist of different patches that I've made on the Pro 2, which is another recent purchase. A little further along I introduce the Lyra-8 into the mix, because anything experimental should probably include the Lyra. Unfortunately I didn't have its output level up high enough, and you can't really hear it in the repeats, which is a shame. Other than not getting output levels matched ahead of time, I'm pretty pleased with the result. The modular, Pro 2, and Lyra are also running through the Audiothingies Doctor A in parallel, which is set to a long ping pong delay and a very long modulated plate reverb. To add some tape warble, I fed an attenuated LFO from the Roland 540 module into the RE-20's expression pedal input, which adjusts the "twist" parameter. Everything runs through the DD-20 first, which has a delay time of 7.1 seconds and is set to the "modulated" delay type, then from there it runs into the RE-20. I wonder what it would sound like if the signal chain was reversed. I bet one could pull off mellotron strings vibes pretty easily with this setup."

"***In the shape of an accordion (and the bellows act as volume control) but actually a dedicated tube monosynth.*** This amazing instrument (probably from the early 60s, but originally designed in the 50s) has been recently serviced and should be in good working order. Imported about 11 years ago from Japan, where it looks like it had sat in a shop unsold for decades. To get an idea of its potential, check out Hainbach's great video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h08NFqon0es .
It's also in stunningly good cosmetic condition - even the case (very modernistic for the 60s) is beautiful. It comes with its essential original Hohner power supply - now converted to operating at 240V with a UK plug. The original Japanese transformer is included if you want to revert to a lower voltage (with proper tech support!)."

"Variophon Gig with keyboard and wind controller (ex-Talk Talk). This superlative instrument was used on every Talk Talk album (except the very first one) [see this post]. This actual example - written provenance included.
Hugely expressive, and probably the best trumpet and oboe facsimile ever made. This example includes the Tuba, Oboe, Clarinet, Trombone, Trumpet and Saxophone modules.
The problem with these instruments is that, now nearly half a century old, the adhesive on the diaphragm has ossified. So it probably plays it's own tunes, to some extent. Couple of broken knobs, but still turnable. The mains plug has been removed. Definitely needing expert servicing - but a hugely worthwhile project. Packing at VEMIA: 24GBP."
