Best Ambient Synth Shootout #133: EMU Carnaval - Song 1

video upload by Christian's Sonic Spaces

"This is the first lazy afternoon recording with the EMU Carnaval. It is a 32-voice, 16‑part multitimbral synth module focussing on Latin music sounds. It shares the same platform than the Planet Phatt und Orbit 9090V2.

I used for the recording the following FX pedals:
Pigtronix Echolution 2 Deluxe, GFI System Specular Reverb 2.

The signal went through a Presonus StudioLive 16.0.2 into the PC via USB for recording. To create the complete song I recorded consecutively several stereo tracks. On some tracks Compressor and EQ where added in Cubase. The final song was then mastered using iZotope Ozone.

Well, I decided to go back to the basics, but at the same time make something useful for the synth community and do a kind of competition (I like competitions;-). What's my best synth for ambient music :-)"

"The EIII is considered one of the great vintage analog sampler synths and cost over $18,000 when first released. They are incredibly powerful machines with an amazing sound like nothing else. This one is in excellent clean condition and fully functional. Includes upgraded screen that is bright and easy to read. This is the 8MB version. The pictured disk drive has been replaced with a SD card drive (SD card included). It has minor wear as expected for its age. They don't show up for sale too often, don't pass this up."

One of my favorite tracks from the 80s.
Stripped by Depeche Mode from the album Black Celebration (1986)
Written by M.L. Gore. Produced by D. Miller

Featured the E-MU Emax SE Sampling Synthesizer (1986)

This cover song series contains my own recreations of my favourite songs from the last 50 years. The original music from which I take inspiration belong to their respective owners. I recreate tracks only for personal passion and to pay homage to these tracks.
My intention is not to create covers that sound exactly like the original (if you want to hear identical sounds, please listen the original). It's more of an inspiration with my sounds from the old synthesizers from the past and of course the great appreciation for the original performers and producers.
Check out the original songs with the original artists here on YouTube.
Thank you.

"100% fully functional, screen is bright and disk drive works great. All buttons and pads serviced before sale, everything is working as it should.

Includes power cable and 2 sound disks (samples from TR-808 and TR-909 drum machines) along with operating system OS1.2. We have a huge library available if interested in purchasing additional sound sets at $40/disk. It will be well packed for the trip. Hard to find an SP1200 in this clean condition without all the typical wear.

This reissue has the classic 7030 filter chips. Judging from serial number it is a 1993 reissue. Reissue SP1200s are preferred over the OG gray ones because they do no have hot or failing power supplies like the original and they also can work on worldwide power automatically without having to do any setting changes. Also being made many years after the OG units they will have less age, wear and tear on them than the originals."
