2019/05 - Bangkok to San Francisco

Published on May 7, 2019 Stereoping

PULSCar sighting. Note the background on it looks red / burgundy not black. Fun track.

"I hope you enjoy listening to this funny composition as i did while arrangeing it. Starting as a stupid solo-entertainer-pattern with Cha-Cha-Trumpets. The arrangement takes a twist into Bhangra at 1:05 with a juicy Synth-solo played by Dreadbox's Nyx, accompanied by a programmed VSTi-Tabla. The journey continues with deep Volksmusik-Horns leading into the contrastive & sweet contra theme at 2:04. The Boehm Dynamic 12x24 Ensemble strings have their solo now, the Nyx is helping out a bit. In the end from 3:03 the chord progression gets somehow jazzy for a final Nyx synthesizer solo.

A realtime recording of a FL Studio midi arrangement. Drums: CR-68 (with midi & the missing CR78 voices MetalBeat,Tambourine + Guiro), Bass: Waldorf Pulse, oriental Solosynth: Dreadbox Nyx, Horns & Backing-strings: JV1018, High strings: Böhm Dynamic 12/24

The video itself it not that exciting. The playlist and a headcam-realtime-shot from the gokiburi-studio showing some gear and slight modulation-performance on the Nyx during the soli. At least something to look at.
Hope you like it :-)"

Dr. Böhm Solist 78 Jam with Digitech Synth Wah Pedal

Published on Mar 13, 2019 Italian Vintage Stuff!

"The Digitech Synth Wah really plays well with these type of machines.
There has two outputs, wet/dry, great for further modulations, in this case I ran the clean signal through the Roland Space Echo Re-301 via the Roland PA Stereo Mixer 250."

Published on May 12, 2008 Translucent Nick

"A Looped patch, made in the Boehm Soundlab modular.
If you set the VCA gain at the maximum, the sound stays always on, no matter what the ADSR settings are. So this is useful for loops and complex effects.
This clip is somewhat dark, the sound is captured by the camera's mic, but you get an idea what this little beast is capable for."

Back to 1986 - PSB & Jarre with old samplers and synths

Published on Sep 21, 2018 Espen Kraft

"This track is a mix of three favorite synthpop tracks. 'Paninaro' and 'Domino Dancing' by the Pet Shop Boys and 'Zoolookologie' by Jean Michel Jarre. It has the tempo of Paninaro and the vocal oohs inspired by Domino Dancing.
The signature 'voice' sample in my track is created by myself by sampling a friends voice on another track of mine and processing it heavily and sampling it back into the Emax.
Most of the sounds in this track is samplers and most, if not all the samples are my own work, including the thunder in the beginning and other effects.

The track is called "Americana" and in reality this was the nickname of a girl I once knew. Way back and back I was....

Btw, this track has been 15 years in the making.

Growing up I listened to so much synth-pop and it's only natural that my own tracks takes inspiration from many of the acts I loved back then. I still love them and listen to them!

Published on Aug 7, 2018 Espen Kraft

"This is a quick teaser of the fantastic German 'Linndrum' called Dr.Böhm Digital-Drums from around 1983.
Fully programmable and with a optional keyboard attached that gives the most beautiful Italo/synthpop auto accompaniment.

This is all played live in the studio for a quick demonstration. Full video soon!
All sounds from the Böhm, except the Italo synthbell that is the Roland Alpha Juno 2. A splash of some reverb and compression and its off!"

Note the above is a video I found for Böhm Electronic: Matador 26. They appear to be the same. These are the first ones to be featured on MATRIXSYNTH. More organ than synth but worth a post considering Vermona's and Bohm's synth history.

"Italian FM expander from the eighties rebranded from the German model Böhm 12/24originally based on Yamaha FM chips.

There are 2 rackmount models:
- DSE 24: voices polyphony

edit VOICE 24 voices, hardware is based on Yamaha YM genuine chips:
- 4 oscillators operators
- 8 connection diagram algorithms

edit SYNTHESIS concept is close to 4 OP Yamaha TX-81Z but with only sinewave with no harmonic variations. There are 4 sinewave operators organized as algorithms, assigned as carrier or modulator linked between them on different pathways interacting on their harmonic contents depending on the variable feedback strength.
- carrier: defines the amplitude and the spectral frequency
- modulator: sets the sound timbre and the relative harmonic contents.
The module offers 32 different combinations algorithms with frequency ratio or fixed frequency: the output is fed back to its input with 7 different levels feedback, as general rule, high values feedback results in richer harmonic contents.

lfo LFO 2 delayed modulators with variable depth amount, 2 destinations:
- amplitude
- pitch

"Pick up the phone" - on Böhm Station One

Published on Apr 27, 2015 organfairy

"It has been a while since I used this workstation - basically because I moved a couple of years ago and it was not on top of my priority list to connect up - but I thought it could be fun to get it running again now.

Unfortunately it started to smell.
So I had to dig into it and find the reason.

The music is played on the Böhm and is 'Pick up the phone' which was a hit for French singer F.R.David in 1982."
