The Son of Flynn on a Minimoog Voyager

Published on Sep 7, 2018 SYNTHWAY

"This is a simple, yet beautiful harmony from Tron: Legacy soundtrack. Once gain, with the beautiful Valhalla Vintage Verb.

Was having some fun with my beloved Voyager and while playing some G#m melodies, came with the right chord progression. The chords are not 100% because it wouldn't be very good on a solo line (heard it, tried to use same chords, didn't sound like the right choice), but they`re close enough.

The video is kind of dark, sorry for that.

Thank you for watching!"

A Phatty Duet - Little and Sub Phatty doing The Force Theme

Published on Sep 5, 2018 SYNTHWAY

"This is the last video I have to share with the Sub Phatty. I had an immense fun with it, and thought one last video with the duo of Phatties would be nice. They're both drenched in reverb (Valhalla Vintage).

This is a theme that I love and already posted. Now I've done it with the basses. Hope you enjoy it!"

Improvisation II - DSI Prophet 08 and EHX Cathedral

Published on Nov 4, 2015 SYNTHWAY

"This is an improvisation on a theme with the amazing DSI Prophet 08 and EHX Cathedral reverb. They sound nice together...

The sound is an ambient pad, using both layers, therefore leaving me 4 voices of polyphony, which isn't exactly enough. Anyway, I think I managed to extract musicality out of it.

Not my best work, but I liked the result and decided to share with you guys. Thank you for watching!"

Tweaking: Nord Lead A1 (NO TALKING)

video by SYNTHWAY

"Just having fun while making some different sounds with the different oscillator configurations on the Nord Lead A1. You can get the overall feeling of how it sounds and how easy it is to achieve different sounds. No, it's not as deep as the Nord Lead 4, but I made the jump and use it as my only polysynth besides what I have ITB."

Prophet 08 Improvisation and Arpeggios

Published on Dec 3, 2013 synthway·22 videos

"Just showing a custom sound and improvising with it. This was made out of a blank patch. It's a bassy plucked/bell like sound with some modulations going on. To me, it's a very special sound that really shines when arpeggio turns on... you get one arpeggio tempo for each layer and the combination sounds great. The "music" is just an improvisation that came out right after sometime playing with the P08.

Do you have a video suggestion? Please tell me!"

Sunday Synth Jam - Sub Phatty and Minilogue

Published on Aug 26, 2018 SYNTHWAY

"Just a little jam with these incredible little synths.

Minilogue is playing a chord progression with the ARP MODE selected, going thru chorus and reverb.

Sub Phatty is playing a base sound with reverb.

The camera angle was far from ideal... sorry for that. The little Elektron box on the side is the Analog Rytm, not used in the jam."

JU 06 and JX 03 Jam

"Sorry for the not so good image quality..... new camera, new problems. Just having fun! Nothing too fancy...

Monologue used just as a controller. JX-03 internal sequencer."

Novation Jam - Mininova and Bass Station II

Published on Jul 9, 2016 SYNTHWAY

"New video... just watched Nick Batt live at Cymrus Beats [posted here] and got inspired. Not exactly the same quality, but liked what I've done - improvised in Cm.

Novation Mininova on bass sound, Bass Station II on the lead sound.

Sorry for this soft horn lead once again, it's just that I simply love this sound and it's essential to me that a synth can do it. I could use the Mininova for leads, but it sounds way better on the BS2.

Enjoying both synths! Part of a small gig setup, with Volca Sample and Bass to complete the party. More on future videos... I actually finally have a place to put all my stuff together and play."

V-Synth GT - Saying Goodbye #1

Published on Sep 7, 2013 synthway·17 videos

"Just making some video with the V-Synth GT in it's final moments with me. Just playing something musical with my favorite sound within the GT's presets. I know that just playing presets isn't the correct way to show this amazing synth, but I just wanted to show how you can make music with it, and not just noise.

I'll be sharing more videos that show where the V really shines. I'm sure you'll agree with me that this can sound impressive... you just have to work on it.

I'm passing it to someone that can appreciate it more than I am right now. I really think that this is as excelent synthesizer... I'm just not into digital synths anymore."

Valhallatiques!

Published on Apr 11, 2017 SYNTHWAY

"Not my best improvisation ever, but I just wanted to share the experiment of a layered sound with the Boutiques + Valhalla Shimmer. Loving these little machines (also the Minilogue, used only as a controller)."

"Just having some fun with these, nothing much.
Nothing excellent in terms of music, but decided to record it anyway."

Sunday Synth Jam - Analog Four, Sub Phatty and Prophet 08

Published on Jul 10, 2016 SYNTHWAY

"This is my first live jam with the Electron Analog Four. Everything was recorded live thru Overbridge, with audio from Prophet 08 and Sub Phatty being processed by A4's internal effects. Once again, inspired by the work of Nick Batt's live jam (incredible BTW).

Sequence was pre-programmed inside the A4, and the synths were played live on top. There are some knob movements on the A4, which is used in performance mode.

I hope you enjoy it!"

Ambika - Sequencer Fun

Published on Oct 31, 2015 SYNTHWAY

"Just messing around with Ambika's internal sequencer. I've done a (poor) acid jam just with the Ambika, no external gear or MIDI devices used.

The sequence itself is pretty simple, and so are the sounds. I'm using the performance page on Ambika to control the bassline cutoff, envelope and resonance, and volume for the other parts. Everything is simple, I just had a little fun with it.

I'm sorry that drum parts were not the best. I'm going to use it extensively with my Volca Bass and create something a little more complex and musical.

I hope you enjoy it...

More Ambika videos to come."

Mutable Instruments Anushri and EHX Deluxe Memory Boy

Published on Sep 25, 2014 SYNTHWAY

"Just received my Anushri, and all I can say is that it is an amazing monosynth. I'm enjoying it a lot! Thank you Adam Armstrong once again for this beautiful synthesizer.

While playing and having fun with it I did this amazing sound (at least to me) with the Anushri and decided to record it... my girlfriend helped me with place choice and filming.

The sound is made with the internal digital oscillator detuned with the VCO (which is responsible for the higher pitched sound), long envelopes and subtle modulations. I really liked it!

There's an additional video that was made today, but couldn't edit just yet... I'll share as soon as I can!!

Please tell me what you think about it and what would you like to see next with the Anushri."

Animoog with the MIDI Expansion Pack appears to be the controller for the video.

Improvisation I - DSI Prophet 08 and EHX Cathedral

Published on Mar 18, 2014 SYNTHWAY·26 videos

"After a lot of videos just showing instruments/effects, I'm back to the traditional videos about music with synthesizers. After watching a lot of videos on Sacred Synthesis's channel, I have to say that I was inspired enough so I could create music with the Prophet 08. Thanks for the enlightment! Your music is great!!!

This is some kind of improvisation, with the main theme defined and evolved music around it. I hope you enjoy the music and sounds... the pad is originally one of the sounds I've made with the Prophet 08 and uses both layers. Since I wasn't happy with the 4 voice limitation of using 2 layers, I tweaked one of them to give me the sound I wanted. I think this music also shows that the P08 is capable of smoother sounds. Add reverb or delay to the sound of this beast and you're in synthland!

Thank you for watching!"

iPad and Sunrizer Improvisation #2

Published on Aug 16, 2013 synthway·16 videos

"Just like the one that came before it... just showing what this incredible App is capable of. An amazing synthesizer for just 5 bucks. It's really impressive!

There are some mistakes, but it's kind of hard to improvise everything in a very short period of time without any mistakes. This was recorded a few minutes after the first one.

Prophet 08 Wagnerian

Published on Dec 9, 2013 synthway·24 videos

"Just improvising with this incredible preset for the Prophet 08. It shows the raw sound of the P08, without effects. I've tweaked it a bit so the "pan spread" was good for me.

Just hope you like it!

Check out my other videos with the Little Phatty, Sub Phatty and Prophet 08."

Sub Phatty - The Basics Demonstration

Published on Aug 19, 2018 SYNTHWAY

"This is a complete demonstration of the basic functions of the Sub Phatty, going thru oscillators, filter, envelopes and LFO. There's no exploring of hidden panel functions (which I'll approach in a later video).

I know this is a long one, but I've always wanted to show the Sub Phatty and its synthesis components."
