Sequential Take 5 - a few sounds

video upload by Echo Fabric

"Recorded direct, with no processing.

All sounds are new patches I created from INIT, except for the last one, which is "Fat EP" with the reverb turned up a little bit."

"I attempted to rip the fabric of space and time utilising my Vintage Vibe Piano through MXR Phase 100, Minimoog Model D through a Space Echo and Oberheim OB Xa. If you are fed up with the same 4 walls come and take a trip with me!"

"Oneiroi is Greek for 'dreams', or rather the mythological personification of entities that bring you dreams and nightmares. It's hard to compare it to any existing module, VST or hardware synth. There's a supporting VCO with a sinewave and a supersaw/wavetable generator, that can be detuned and set to an offset. There's a looper with a five second buffer. The looper is used to generate the waves in the wavetable, so it's more like a dynamic texture generator. The looper's window size can be set to milliseconds so it can become a wavetable itself with a buffer you can scan. All of this is under CV control.

A central modulation 'LFO' that can be mapped to any knob except itself and can provide chaotic movement, typical LFO shapes, S&H and envelope following. Finally there's an FX section with a filter, resonator, echo and a weird reverb with lots of character. The individual elements aren't revolutionary, but as a combo they will make a lot of dreams come true.

How about nightmares? Don't worry, all FX can self resonate and when you make the Looper record itself, you can tear the fabric of the universe apart.
But you'll need to deliberately choose its dark side. I will definitely do a 'nightmare machine' video too! But not today. Today it's just too good to be true.

Oneiroi has a lot of character and many different 'faces'. It will make excellent first impressions, but at some point it feels like watching Titanic for the 10th time. The euphoria wears out. This only means it's time to bring something new to the stereo input. Then the excellence and euphoria will return in full force. Sweet dreams are made of this."
