Urei 565T Little Dipper Demo.m4v

YouTube via FlakeStick | February 02, 2010 | - new video below

"This is a quick demo of the Little Dipper audio filter. Recording straight to MacBook audio in through an Alesis Multimix 8 mixer. No other eq or effects were added. The synthesizer is a Roland Jupiter 6 (off camera) which already has a robust filter of its own. The 565T has a very gentle high and low pass curve while the notch filters are in the on position. It's the dual notch/peak filters that can really transform the sound going in. Exciting phaser effects start to happen when the notch frequencies approach each other. You can read articles online how it was designed for filtering out very isolated frequencies when no other piece of kit will do....but there's nothing like transforming your favorite instruments into something different. Definitely share any tips and tricks with me as I would love to try them "

VSP-330 Voice Synth Plus beta r2

YouTube via FlakeStick | Feb 28, 2011 |

"Version 2 beta sound test of my Voice Synth Plus VST plugin. Ready for download soon - stay tuned!

Added Features:
- Stunning new GUI looks more like a vintage instrument
- "pitch set" knob for the pitch shift slider
- "tune" knob like the original, global detuning by +/- 50 cents
- ensemble controls: rate, depth, amount
- power button!
- and a wicked new feature....OSC2 detuning! OSC2 is the source for Male 8' and string Bass 16'. Instead of OSC2 being restricted to one octave below OSC1, pitch intervals can now be set. You can also make OSC2 be very close to OSC1 tuning, resulting in two voice unison detuned-type sounds. It takes the classic VP-330 sound to a whole new level - you will not believe your ears!


The audio was recorded in Cubase on four tracks w/ no other processing added - ALL VSP-330!"

VSP-330 Voice Synth Plus beta VST (VP-330)

YouTube via FlakeStick | February 23, 2011 | Update: video re-uploaded below.

"A beta version sound test of my Voice Synth Plus VST plugin. It's not going to replace the original Roland VP-330 strings and choirs, but it's the next best thing and then some.

VST Plugin Features:
- Choir selectable Male 8', Male 4' and Female 4' across all keys.
- Strings selectable 8' AND 16' Bass (the 16' string was not on original)
- Built-in ensemble mod can be switched on/off for choir and strings.
- Envelope attack for each Choir and String. Env release is shared like on the original.
- Choir and String level controls.
- Up to 16-voice polyphony depending on your computer.
- Of course MIDI and patch save.

This is a beta version so the GUI is minimal. Better graphics will come w/ future versions.

The audio was recorded in Cubase on three tracks w/ no other processing added - ALL VSP-330! I added some pics of a real VP-330 to the video for fun."

More Venom In Your System M-Audio/Avid

YouTube via FlakeStick | February 13, 2011 |
follow-up to this post Update: video re-uploaded below.
"This is a second on-the-fly demo showing more patches from M-Audio's new synth, the Venom. This time around I'm messing w/ drum loops, a few more single patches, and a mulit-part song at the end of the video.

All original single patches in this vid are by me:
TuffRoller - a drum loop composed of two kits, plus a third controlled by the mod wheel. I'm messing w/ the Amplitude attack time.
Isol8r - A pseudo- electric piano pad thing.
JunoThis - I improved my Juno sounds w/ 1-osc and 1-sub-osc plus chorusing. A little vibrato to boot.
M-Pulser - A synth-orchestra hit w/ compression flattening it to bits.
ReichSynth - A beating pad sound inspired by the minimalist composer Steve Reich.
Salina - A beautiful arpeggio inspired by a Bedrock track.

And then there's the Multi-Part song I slopped-together w/ these four parts:
Drums - the TuffRoller patch
Arpeggio - Juno-This patch
Bass - the Deep Bass patch (see Demo I)
Synth Hits - the M-pulser patch

Recorded straight into Macbook w/ no additional effects - ALL VENOM."

A Taste of Venom Demo M-Audio Avid

YouTube via FlakeStick | January 30, 2011 | Update: video re-uploaded below.

"This is a quick-n-dirty demo showing my first patches on M-Audio's new synth, the Venom. The Venom is a sound designer's dream, it lends itself to all kinds of music. Basses, strings, sci-fi, ambient, trance, trip-hop...and on-and-on. Editing the sounds makes all sorts of happy accidents possible.

All original patches in this vid are by me:
Stringer - a vintage string synth sound w/ phaser, much better than the "70's String" factory patch I must say.
JunoThis - A first, not-quite-there, attempt at Juno sounds w/ chorusing. Again better than the factory patch.
Wobbler - This is a recreation of a patch I did on the Oberheim Matrix. Sounds great on the Venom!
NebulaTrek - Inspired by the ominous sound from the first Star Trek motion picture.
StarGazer - Something completely new to me!
DeepBass - A deep house bass sound.
Eurotrashd - A sensational driving trance sound, whether triggered in one-hits or arpeggiated.

Recorded straight into Macbook w/ no additional effects - ALL VENOM."

Oberheim Matrix-6: Superbad Muchacho

YouTube via FlakeStick | July 20, 2010 | - video re-uploaded below.

"This is an un-rehearsed demo featuring the sounds of the Oberheim Matrix-6. The Matrix-6 has 6-voice polyphony and is capable of splits, aftertouch sensitive, programmable benders and 100 patches. Getting the most out of programming the Matrix-6 isn't for you lazy folk out there in need of instant gratifications, but a little bit of finger-effort on insane-membrane buttons will produce rewards beyond your wildest fantasy. Well, maybe not THAT cool, but pretty cool um-kay? The Matrix-6 is capable of many of the sonic mayhem of its big brothers the Xpander and Matrix-12. Patch programming can be done via MIDI on your favorite DAW platform. I have Cubase SX3 but never got around to mapping the parameters to the Matrix. Because you know what? Programming from the front panel isn't difficult at all so I don't know what all the fuss is about. You CAN program both benders and TWO pedals to control any parameter in the modulation matrix and store that on a PER PATCH basis. Anyway, this recording doesn't make use of any effects except for the very last song - but used some reverb judiciously in that instance. I slopped this thing together in a couple of hours so take it easy with the comments. Actually nevermind that - say whatever you muchachos want - I'm good for it. :)"
