Aegispolis cover on RX5 and TX802

video upload by Collector Current

"I've made a small setup with the Yamaha RX5, TX802 and Roland MSQ-700. To explore what's possible with these machines I tried to make a cover of Aphex Twin's Aegispolis from the Selected Ambient Works 85-92 album.

This lets me learn how to use this particular gear, and I get to learn something new about composition. I perform the whole track at the end of the video as a dub mix.

Sorry about all the dust, the sun was unforgiving today!

Casio VZ-1 phase mode envelope weirdness

video upload by Collector Current

The Casio VZ-1 is an odd and misunderstood synthesizer. In this video we look at how "PHASE" mode (wavefolding) changes the behavior of some of the envelopes. The story gets more complicated when you add "EXTERNAL PHASE" to the picture but I'll save that for a later video.
