The age of sadness | Sequential Prophet VS and Rhodes Piano somber improvisation w Fractal Audio FM3

video upload by MIDERA

"In the distance I saw the clouds, and with them a rainbow. It appeared so tranquil, so peaceful. And then it was gone. Just like that. Just like us.

Fractal Audio FM3 was used to loop the Prophet VS. I played on top of that with the Rhodes Piano.

No external FX used."

"A crossover track featuring Rhodes MK2, ‪@NordKeyboards‬ Nord Lead, ‪@SequentialLLC‬ Prophet-10, and ‪@MoogSynthesizers‬ Grandmother, where breakbeats intertwine with electric-piano and synth lines.

Rhodes MK2: Runs through a ‪@BOSSinfoglobal‬ BOSS CE-5 chorus, then the ‪@ChaseBlissAudio‬ GENERATIONcha LOSS MK II for tape-style lo-fi warmth.

Nord Lead: Plays the main synth lead, treated with reverb from ‪@gfisys‬ Specular Tempus.

Prophet-10: Swaps patches on the fly, adding abstract synth textures and additional leads.

Grandmother: Handles the bass line."

"It's been a month. As I said, my wife lost her job in May. We hoped she would get a job that seemed like a great fit, someone had reached out to her and said she'd be perfect. Guess they didn't think so later. Oh well.

I did manage to extract all the audio from my old Roland VS-840GX. I kind of wish I was still recording using that thing, it was so good for just sitting down without a screen and recording whatever I wanted, but using a DAW is just so much nicer.

I had half written the rhodes part on this track, when I ended up recording something else that I plan to put into a rock track (yes, I am trying to get back into writing that type of music). Came back to this last night and recorded this, with some changes. Funny how walking away and coming back to something helps you change it for the better.

I used the Fractal Audio FM3 as a looper to loop the first part and then played everything else over it. The Rhodes and Prophet VS was performed in one go, the guitar was done in a second round with Eventide Blackhole VST for reverb.

Well, I hope you enjoy this - my first track written in a month."

Glitchy Lofi Beats w/ Rhodes MK2, Digitakt, Prophet-10 | Humid 2025-06-12 by atnr

video upload by atnr

"A track built with the Rhodes MK2, ‪@WeAreElektron‬ Digitakt, and ‪@SequentialLLC‬ Prophet-10—a glitchy lo-fi beat where electric-piano chords, synth lines, and chopped rhythms interlock.

Rhodes MK2: Runs through a CE-5 chorus, then the ‪@ChaseBlissAudio‬ GENERATION LOSS MK II for tape coloration, giving the sound a slightly wobbly feel.

Prophet-10: Plays a simple phrase with reverb from a ‪@strymon‬ blueSky.

Digitone: (using sliced drum hits) reconstructs the rhythm, while the ‪@ChaseBlissAudio‬ MOOD MK II adds reverb, pitch-shifts, and micro-loop glitches."

"Fantastic Rhodes Chroma Polaris. This Chroma has a new membrane, has been fully serviced including battery, full factory reset/spec, Factory load. Super rich, midi heavy Poly analog. Great integration, expressive w/ pedal and assignments.

The panel was installed a year ago and in that time something did press the surface (see last pic) - no functional issues, but wanted to note the visual since it is a new membrane."

"Serviced a few years ago and given a new membrane which is known to go bad on these. For this listing, we had it serviced and given new batteries. With that, all the factory patches were erased and about 50% of them were located and installed. Banks G-K only play an initialized saw patch. All other factory banks are loaded, and all features and functions work very nicely!"

Dream of the moons | Roland Jupiter 6, Rhodes Piano, and Fractal Audio FM3 lush ambient soundscape

video upload by MIDERA

"Wow, made it to 11,000 subscribers. It’s funny because it would seem like a “success” so to speak… but it’s not so different than when I only had 100 subscribers or 500, or 5,000. Truthfully, I guess the successes I have are raising my kids, it’s the time I truly feel like “I made it.” My career doesn’t feel so successful either. But I do enjoy the stuff I do here, and I suppose doing it has allowed me to write at least 21 albums worth of electronic music, which in itself is a feat I suppose.

Success just doesn’t seem to be an endpoint. You can look at someone who seems successful, and they can be moments from catastrophe, either self-inflicted or otherwise, or they don’t view their lives as successful at all. It’s like success is that pot of gold at the end of a rainbow. You think it’s there and all you have to do is catch up with it, but you really won’t ever see it, because there is no pot of gold. Some of the most miserable, hateful people I know… have lots of the stuff. I guess I am learning something in this world: that money and success won’t be there to make me happy. But I feel real joy around my family, and some joy around things I achieve, but it’s pretty clear that there will never be a thing that I do that tells me that I was or will be successful. And that’s good enough for me.

Sequential Prophet 10 REV4 and Rhodes Piano | ambient improvisation

video upload by MIDERA

"My family and I went on vacation this week and had a great time. Some things came up at work and frustratingly, I feel I wasn't entirely as present as I'd have liked to have been. Kind of ruined a lot of things for me, but, despite that we had fun.

My oldest daughter, as usual, wanted a stuffy. We went to a store and she decided she wanted to wait to get something at a different place (because she usually liked the stuffed animals there. So later that day we drove down and - to her dismay - the new stuffed animals there were for little kids. We asked how she could tell, but she said she could. She did not want them. But we didn't have time to go back to the other place (since this was a restaurant and we were going to be eating dinner and the other place would be closed). I drove back up afterwards, looking for any place that might sell something similar, but nowhere did. The next day we knew a snow storm was coming in, a huge one. So she was very sad that we wouldn't be able to go back - but I was proud of her for two reasons: 1) She was able to hold off getting something now for the hopes of something better. 2) She didn't just grab something at the second place, because she knew she didn't want those. And although she cried and was very sad, she did not get something there. I was proud of her for that.

The next morning, we decided to go out in the storm and we did end up getting that stuffy for her. I got her something extra too because I was proud of her for waiting.

As for this track - well, I'm trying to see - do I really need that SX-240? Just because it's pretty? Basically, I have found the Prophet 10 actually does sound almost identical to the SX-240. As cool/nice as it is, I can't just keep all this stuff. There's just too much stuff here and I can make the same or better stuff without some of these synths in my studio.

"I'm convinced the Kawai SX-240 should go, if only because I can trade for something else (Yamaha CP-70b?). But what can take its place that's already here? The Jupiter 6? The Prophet 10? The Prophet VS? They're all similar, but different. Guess that's why I stupidly have so much stuff. I can hear interesting tones from one that I can't hear in another. They're all interesting.

The Jupiter 6 surprised me here. I have learned some tricks about keeping the filter from sounding so harsh, and I think that's helped. It's for sure an unusual synth - and not entirely my favorite. In fact, I'd say generally the SX-240 sounds better (and looks better). I think the SSM2044 filters really make that synth shine, and nothing I have is like that. The Polysix had these filters but it never sounded as good. I think the Prophet 10 probably is the closest, but it also lacks reverse saw waves that I really like for LFOs. I don't know why they omitted those on the P10, but they did.

Crossover Beat w/ Rhodes Mark 2, Prophet-10, OP-1 field, Drums & Bass | Ordeal 2025-03-30 by atnr

video upload by atnr

"A piece created using the Rhodes Mark II, Prophet-10, and ‪@teenageengineering‬ OP-1 field. The Rhodes harmonies repeat in sync with the drums and bass, while the melody goes wild through the MOOD MK II.

On the Rhodes Mark II, I perform with a ‪@BOSSinfoglobal‬ CE-5 chorus effect.

I play the intro and interlude on the ‪@SequentialLLC‬ Prophet-10, adjusting the filter during the interlude.

The drums are recorded and reconstructed in a DAW.

The bass is recorded into the DAW through a SANS AMP BASS DRIVER.

On the OP-1 field, I play the melody while manipulating the ‪@ChaseBlissAudio‬ MOOD MK II CLOCK for pitch shifting. Midway, I adjust the REVERB TIME to create a noisier sound."

Rhodes Mark 2 Prophet-10 Ambient Ø MOOD MK II | Your Dream 2025-03-07 by atnr

"A piece created using the Rhodes MK2, ‪@SequentialLLC‬ Prophet-10, and ‪@SONICWARE‬ LIVEN Ambient Ø. Minimal Rhodes tones are layered with electronic sounds from a synthesizer.

The Rhodes MK2 is processed through a send/return using the ‪@BOSSinfoglobal‬ CE-5 for chorus, and a slight delay is applied at the final output via ‪@strymon‬ TIMELINE.

On the Prophet-10, I perform monophonic pad sounds, with the output processed by Strymon blueSky to add deep reverb.

Ambient Ø is played manually while adjusting the parameters on the‪@ChaseBlissAudio‬ MOOD MKII."

"A piece created using Max for Live synth ‪@noine-giron‬ NOIwavetableGEN, Rhodes Mark II, and TR-08. Undulating synthesizer sounds combine with rhythm machine beats and electric piano tones.

I build the bass and harmony using Max for Live’s synth NOIwavetableGEN (https://noine.gumroad.com/l/noi-wavet.... The bass is monophonized by narrowing its width with Utility.

The rhythm is played on the TR-08 and processed with reverb and filtering via NIGHTSKY.

On the Rhodes, I apply chorus using the ‪@BOSSinfoglobal‬ CE-5 and delay with ‪@strymon‬ TIMELINE."

Ambient w/ Rhodes MK2, OP-1 field, Prophet-10 | Forgotten Sands 2025-02-25 by atnr

video upload by atnr

"A piece created using the Rhodes MK2, ‪@teenageengineering‬ OP-1 field, and ‪@SequentialLLC‬ Prophet-10. The sound of a synth pad resonates with the delayed and chorused tones of the Rhodes, while sounds like bells and a rainstick can be heard in the background.

The Rhodes MK2 is processed with chorus via the ‪@BOSSinfoglobal‬ CE-5 and delay via ‪@strymon‬ TIMELINE.

The Prophet-10 is run through blueSky for reverb, with phrases composed of a mix of MIDI sequences and live playing.

The OP-1 field triggers MIDI sequences while its built-in NITRO effect applies filtering, and ‪@gfisys‬ SPECULAR TEMPUS adds Shimmer Reverb. Variations in the intensity of the shimmer and the opening and closing of the filter cause the same harmony to resonate differently."
