Update: The super rare Yamaha FM synth at 3:17 is the FVX-1. Search for FVX-1 on the right for more posts. Also, don't miss the Polyfusion Modular in the third video.

via the xpantastic list: "Hey folks i recently gave my synth a facelift and managed to remove all of the outer matt finish on my matirx-12 ( those cracks and flakes were becoming too annoying, and i just had to get to the shiny stuff beneath )... it looks amazing now! well i think so anyway.. a new lease of life.... oh and no i didnt use any cleaning products, just a very slightly damp cloth and about 5 hours of work, very carefully teasing the coating off."


Update via Jesus in the comments: "I saw David Morley did the same to his Xpander in this series of videos: http://youtu.be/OlbMPZ7odHw [see 1:57 in embed below]

Looks really nice."

Drift by David Morley - Tascam 388, Fenix Modular, Kawai K5000s

Published on Nov 4, 2017 David Morley

"An ambient piece made using the Tascam 388, Kawai K5000s and Fenix modular plus one track of sound fx. Starting to explore the K5000s a bit. A wonderful synth...very underrated IMHO"

Tascam 388 - EMS VCS3 Synthi - "Lost at Sea" by David Morley

Published on Feb 11, 2017 David Morley

"An ambient piece written entirely on the EMS VCS3 synth.
No other sound sources. Delay from the Dynacord VRS 23.
7 tracks in total.
Recorded direct onto the Tascam 388.

A lot of low end energy...so try headphones or a decent sound system..

Enjoy!"

ARP 2500 Modular Synth

Published on Oct 23, 2007 David Morley

"I was checking the ARP 2500, so decided to video whilst noodling.
Will make something better later...
AMAZING synth. Funky, fat, flexible."

ARP 2500 Modular and TR-808

Published on Sep 6, 2008 David Morley

Creating a super simple patch on a modular synthesizer - Synton Fenix

Published on Apr 24, 2020 David Morley

"Creating a super simple patch on a modular synthesizer
How to patch a modular synth. Demonstrated on the Synton Fenix Modular synthesizer. Not particularly exciting for experienced synthesists, or those with experience, but perhaps it shows the basics of how to create a simple classic synth sound on almost any modular synth. I hope you find it useful.

Edited by Amber Morley

At the end I go a bit of script :-)
Enjoy, like and share if you feel so inclined!
Stay well and stay safe."

Fenix Wave Multiplier & Modular Sequence

Published on Aug 3, 2013 David Morley·20 videos

"Just showing the much misunderstood Fenix II Wave Multiplier. Basically it works like a complex sequencer for waveforms. This is a sawtooth being modified."

Fenix II Modular Multiplier Delay patch example
Published on Aug 3, 2013

"Triangle Wave going into the WaveMultiplier. 2nd VCO clocking the WM. Envelope controlling output level. Delay on right channel modulated by an LFO.
Both VCO sequenced from the 8 step sequencer."

Fenix II III modular sequence
Published on Aug 3, 2013

"3 Sequences running at different lengths. Each sequence controlling a VCO."

Modor NF-1 Strings

Published on Aug 14, 2015 David Morley

"Modor NF-1 Synthesiser String Patch - No external effects. Modor straight to hard disk.
It starts with 1 oscillator and then I bring in the second and third.

The video is out of sync with the audio by about 4 bars! No idea why. Seems to be something iMovie and youtube upload did."

Roland R8 MK2 drum machine programming

Published on Mar 16, 2019 David Morley

"Programming real time pitch and decay parameters on the Roland R8 mk2 Almost identical on the mk1. An amazing drum machine with great sequencer features. I do get asked a lot about how to do this, so hopefully you can see how to record the real time slider."

Fairlight CMI IIX Page R demo and overview - The worlds most important sequencer?

David Morley

"The Fairlight CMI was the worlds first commercial sampler, but in the context of how it changed music, probably the most important part was Page R. This is an awful piece of musical creation on my CMI IIx, but it hopefully shows you how Page R works and I also offer an overview of the other pages available on the CMI system. For nerds only!
My IIx used to belong to Kim Wilde and has been restored by Jean-Bernard Emond in France. An amazing machine and so much fun. The "musical" example here is just that, an example. Hopefully I will post some more musical adventures in the future."

Shipping News by David Morley - ARP 2500 Modular synthesizer demonstration

YouTube via buchla300

"Here is a demo of the ARP 2500 modular I made. No other instrument was used.
My objective was to show off the range of the instrument in a musical context.

Please visit http://www.davidmorley.com and check out my other works and a better quality version of "Shipping News"

The video was something I knocked up in iMovie just in time for the Oscars...
Multitracked in Logic 8. Mixed on my D&R Orion desk. Reverb came from my EMT 246 and an Eventide H3000 was used for delay. "

Moogerfooger Phaser - Using Control Voltage with the Moog Phaser

Published on May 2, 2020 David Morley

"The Moogerfooger Phaser from Bob Moog is a great unit that allows control voltage of many features. In this example I use my DSI Tempest to play a simple sequence which is then passed through the phaser and voltage controlled from my Schrittmacher sequencer creating a kind of S&H effect. Enjoy!"

an interesting sequentix cirklon feature

Modor NF 1 Digital Polyphonic Synthesizer Demonstration song

Published on Aug 13, 2015 David Morley

"A tune made entirely on the Modor NF-1 Synthesizer. The only extra stuff was a Reverb. Not aiming for a Grammy with it (pretty chilled and typical) but hopefully it shows somewhat how flexible the Modor NF-1 is. The Modor NF-1 is a Digital Polyphonic (8 voice) synthesiser from Belgium. It has 3 Oscillators which have classic analogue style waveforms as well as Additive and FM synthesis. A multimode filter, a Formant filter, 4 envelopes, 3 LFO etc etc. It;s a very powerful synth.. In another video I will go through the features one by one. Hope you enjoy."

Big Briar 331 Touchpad by Bob Moog with Synton 3000 Modular synthesizer

David Morley

"The Big Briar company was created by Bob Moog after he left Moog. He sold Synton synthesisers and the 331 touchpad was created to be used with the 3000 system. I just cleaned mine, so decided to test it. A very short video, but no doubt highly interesting to 7 people. I'm triggering the Fenix III sequencer and controlling the filter cutoff and LFO speed with the touchpad."
