"Custom Work by Grant Richter for Wiard

These are example of the first 10 Wiard systems shipped.
At that time we were doing extensive custom work.
I stopped doing it because design work is more important at this phase."

Preview of Key Performer 2 with virtual trumpet

YouTube Uploaded by zioguido on Apr 18, 2011

"This is me playing a preview of the upcoming Key Performer 2 with a virtual trumpet engine. I'm playing both the trumpet on the upper keyboard and the sampled upright bass on the lower keyboard. The backing tracks come from my iPhone 4 with iReal-B app.

Does it sound realistic enough? :-)"

That Stuff on the Phoneline (Pure Omega 8)

This one in via cl516

"Cable company, cell phone company, gas bill, electrical bill, Native Instrument support… I don't know who you have to call. But sometimes you just do, right? And they keep you holding on the phone, minute after minute… Other than my voice here processed by Sonic Charge Bitspeek, this is a 100% pure Omega 8 track titled, "That Stuff on the Phoneline". It received the full treatment, so proper headphones or speakers please! Enjoy!"

"Live modular synthesizer.
Q960 sequencer for the bass line through a Oakley Super Diode Ladder Filter. Six voices comprised of nine oscillators and four VCF's. Additional filters included Grove Audio PM Resonator, Q127 Fixed Filter Bank, two Oakley Equinoxe phasers and a Cyndustries Quad Low Pass Gates. Three sequencers included Q960, Q119 and STG Mini-Stores. A Yusynth Random Gates selected triggering for the percussion sounds and the high drone voice. FX included a TC Electronics D-Two delay and Lexicon MX200.
I'm handling the Q960 skip/reset points and using a Q149 Signal Selector to route cv's for the pitch to the bass line with a Q123 Standards module for pitch/octave modulation. Almost everything else is automated and just faded in and out."

Some custom gear: Pro-One is what I'm guessing is a Synthwood case. Custom white JX-3P and JD-800 which I'm guessing are Dave's of umop.com, done by customsynth.co.uk. Note the yellow EMS SYNTHI-E. Red MacBeth M5N.
