"This is a study for something.

S&H out to the passive control voltage routing panel as a mute. Forgot to utilize the panning on the 131 mixer to bleed signals to the two DDL-3 delays."

"Ding ding dong, dong dong ding, dingy dingy ding. Four ranges of an arpeggio, with delay from the Peavey DDL-3 and a wash of pre-delay reverb from the CXM 1978. The CXM returns to two faders on the Mackie Onyx 1604, and they are ridden. Also the settings on the CXM 1978 are gradually changed a few times."

Best Ambient Synth Shootout #94: Peavey DPM V2 - Song 3

Christian's Sonic Spaces

"This is the third song with the DPM V2. It's a 32 voice 16-part multitimbral ROM-based synthesizer with resonant digital filter from the early 90s.

I used for the recording the following FX chain:
DPM V2 - Digitech Obscura - Pigtronix Echolution 2 Deluxe - GFI System Specular Reverb 2. Depending on the recorded track some FX are deactivated

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. The final song was then mastered with a bit EQ and compression on some tracks and some limiting on the master track."

Peavey Spectrum Synth multi-timbral demo with MPC1000XL

Published on Jun 19, 2015 stereoping

"A little realtime arrangement demo-ing the Peavey Spectrum Synth. The Peavey plays all synth parts getting most out of it's 6-part multitimbrality: bells, dark analogue horns, cello pad, lead synth and 2 different bass sounds. Sequenced on the MPC1000 which also brings in the drums and some vocal samples of a Laurie Webb sample cd. Minimal setup: The Peavey's output is put into the MPC's sampling input to make use of the MPC's internal effects (Reverb&Delay). Hope you like it."

Yamaha Tx802 FM Synth Module + Peavey PC1600x MIDI Controller

via this auction

"TX802 FM module + Peavey PC1600x programmer Killer Combo. The PC1600x makes the editing of the TX as easy as can be. The settings can be changed while playing the TX with a keyboard or sequencer.

Tx802 is in very good condition. Faceplate is super clean. Normal scratches on sides, top and bottom. Left rack ear is a bit bent (see last picture). 100% Working.

The PC1600x is already loaded with 9 preset programs for editing most of the TX802 settings. 6 programs are for editing the six operators with controls for Pitch, Envellope and more. 3 programs are for general editing like LFO, Portamento... Of course the PC1600x can be programmed to control anything with MIDI."
