Noodling with reSEMble

video upload by Randy Piscione

"PM Foundations recently re-stocked a limited number of reSEMble PCB/Panel sets, and this may very well be the last time. If you’re unfamiliar with reSEMble, it is a tribute to the Oberheim SEM, but more of an SEM 2.0. Have a look at the other relevant videos on my channel for more sounds and info.

This is not the most visually exciting video, I was really more interested in demoing the sound. reSEMble provides the leads, odd percussion and sound effect bits. Drums are courtesy of an Alesis SR-16.

The first part of the video (first verse I suppose) uses the reSEMble in a configuration that duplicates the SEM – two VCOs, LP VCF, 2 EGs and a triangle LFO. Bass for the verses is from a Behringer Minimoog and a custom-modified Behringer TD-3. Chords for the verses comes from a 1980 dual manual Prophet 10.

The first chorus adds a third VCO and sine LFO. Bass is provided by a Minimoog (first re-issue) and the chords are again from the Prophet 10. The second verse brings in the wavefolder. The second chorus is similar to the first. The odd percussion and sound effect stuff bring in some audio rate exponential FM. The final chorus uses the wavefolder with the VCOs mixed in."
