Under the mossy stone | Prophet 10 ambient improvisation

"Sequential Prophet 10 improvisation / soundscape.

I bought an anamorphic lens (Sirui 50mm T2.9) to test out with my camera, because now I have something that will actually hook up to one of these (to my mirrorless camera). Needed to do a test run. It was honestly very difficult to figure out how to get the footage imported and 'desqueezed' using Kdenlive, but eventually I got there!

"What a day. To spend it with my kids and wife, it just felt like a perfect day. No day can be bad when your children hand you letters that say 'I love you' on them, with pictures.

What I wrote here... well, it's just junk. Hoped what I wrote would have been better, but that's all I had in me today.

The rain of yesterday | Sequential Prophet 10 and Virus TI soundscape

video upload by MIDERA

"For the first time in what feels like a very long time - I've felt some hope. Received some good news that provides at least some stability in my job. And to celebrate (a little), I finally, after 10 years, updated my camera from the Canon 5D mkii to the R6 mkii and wanted to test it out. I doubt it's any better from a YouTube perspective... my 5D2 always did work alright, but it's nice to finally have something a little more up to date.

Prophet 10 and MIDI MORPHEUS - an LFO generator for the Prophet 10

video upload by MIDERA

"When I was playing around with the Roland MKS-80, I kept thinking "My Prophet 10 sounds soooo much like this, do I really need to spend $$$ on getting an MKS?" The things I loved so much about the MKS (and actually the Kawai SX-240 which I sold) related to the LFO. I love a good reverse saw LFO and a random LFO. Notably, these are absent from the Prophet 10.

I started building another device I haven't showcased yet, and I realized I could repurpose that work to make an LFO module, which is what you're seeing here. So what can it do? It currently targets multiple CC destinations with adjustable depth, speed, and waveform shape.

Been having a lot of fun with it so far, creating sounds the Prophet 10 could not do unless I had a Yorick LFE, which is no longer made and was a little too expensive for me to justify purchasing. This is far cheaper (although I don't want to think about how much I've spent in parts/time building this!).

Cheers

"After my adventure with the MKS-80, I wanted to write something with my Spectralis. This is that track.

Further... I think this is where I may conclude my time with the Sequentix Cirklon 2... A lovely thing, but - I don't think it's for me. The Spectralis is too 'home' for me.

A Roland MKS-80 Super Jupiter soundscape with the Fractal Audio FM3

video upload by MIDERA

"So, I borrowed my friend's Roland MKS-80 because there was an issue with it (actually, there wasn't, we just didn't have something connected right). Well, I figured I'd try playing it. I knew I hated my Jupiter 6 and I was convinced this would sound just as bad.

I was VERY mistaken. The MKS-80 sounds nothing like the JP6. I don't know what anyone's talking about when they say they sound alike. The MKS-80 sounds way better, to my ears, I absolutely despised the JP6 filter. The MKS-80 sounds great. I'm honestly really impressed.

I could buy an MKS-80. I'm tempted - but I do have a Prophet 10 which sounds pretty similar... but... how often will I come across another Jupiter 7?

"Here's a new track. I wanted to bring the Tempest back in and use it again... but almost everything about it is just difficult to use... I tried to sequence the beats, but the OS would freeze when doing it that way, so I had to opt to manually change beats. Using the external sequencer kind of ruins half the fun of the Tempest, so I chose to do it all in the box, and it's great for that... but it's extremely hard to put a track together using the Tempest.

Gear used:
Cirklon 2 sequencer
DSI Tempest (drums)
Moog Minimoog (bass)
Roland SH-101 (Bass)
Sequential OB-6 (arp)
Roland JD-990 (initial melodic pad)
Oberheim Matrix 1000 (later pad sound)
Prophet 10 (secondary melody halfway through track)

"Two years ago today, I lost my mom... Often I write tracks as tributes, remembering the end - which was really a horrible experience.

But I know what matters isn't what happened at the end, but really I should take the time to celebrate what she gave me: my life, my family, my experiences, my abilities. Her and my dad are the reason I have any of this and can write anything at all. So, I'll just say that I'm thankful to both of them. That's what this day can become, a reminder of what I've been given.

Life's Window | Prophet 10 soundscape

"It was my Dad's birthday today. He didn't make it to this birthday, or the last 14 birthday's either. Time just goes on and takes everything away from us. But I wanted to write something on his Birthday. I miss him. I miss my mom too. I miss them both.

Meanwhile, I'm just barely hanging on. My wife still hasn't found a job and I sometimes think she won't get one before I lose mine due to all the awesome stuff going on in the federal government. We've been worried about what will happen when we're both without jobs. I couldn't get a job if I tried (and I have). I guess no one wants someone who has a really niche background. It's just not a great place to be.

Life goes on anyway.

"Pulled the Yamaha SY77 out again and wanted to get some good use out of it, it's such a great synth. I liken it to the 'Prophet of the FM' synths. It just has such a good presence.

I also bought some lamps for my studio that I've been enjoying. Overhead lights have been annoying me for years.

Sequential Prophet 10 REV4 versus Prophet VS Vector Synth: A not-so-detailed comparison and thoughts

video upload by MIDERA

"I had both of these side by side and figured it was now or never - do a brief comparison of the two head to head. What's interesting is listening to the Prophet VS filter afterwards it didn't sound so 'TB-303' like as it did when I recorded it. It sounded more tame. It was a bit depressing, but I guess that's part of what is important to hear - differences between what's recorded and what's heard live.

A few notes: if you listen on a phone, you really won’t hear ANY differences mention, lol. I don’t hear the aliasing on the PVS.

You can initialize the PVS patch as well holding enter and pressing zero. I didn’t do that here because it puts all 4 oscillators on using different waveforms, which isn’t really initialized for my purposes.

Also - I want to comment about something that annoys me. If I ever want to look up anything on the "Prophet VS" it comes up as thinking it means 'versus' so I hardly find any information about the VS.

What do you think about the two (P10 v PVS)?

"Today I managed to find about an hour to write this track. I've been trying to find a reason to keep the Poly Evolver (although I don't seem to have any local folks interested), and so I figured the best way to do that was to use it in my songs and see how it does.

"Today, before bed, I laid with my family on my bed, listening to the downfall of rain on the roof. I loved every second of it. My kids? It scared them for some reason. Undoubtedly, some day they will look back and think 'I can't believe I was so scared of that gentle rain on the roof... I missed the opportunity to just relax with my papa and mama.'

Of course, not a day goes by that I don't look back at the end of the day and wish I had been more present. Who knows what other adventures I'm missing out with them by being just so stuck in my head.

Well - as for this track, I was trying some new things, using the Machinedrum instead of the Nord Drum 2, and stacking the Poly Evolver and P10. I didn't really enjoy the experience of either. I know some people fill their rooms with synths and Jasper's stands, but I think it just kills the creativity. Maybe my constant unhappiness with my studio keeps me writing more and more?

I don't know.

"I wonder... how does one increase views? I've been doing the same thing for years. Like 10+ years... and the longer I go, the fewer sales I have on each subsequent album, the fewer views, the fewer everything. I guess it's hard to change, maybe everything I do is the same.

Probably just a saturated market. Everyone out there is doing something."

"My family and I went on vacation this week and had a great time. Some things came up at work and frustratingly, I feel I wasn't entirely as present as I'd have liked to have been. Kind of ruined a lot of things for me, but, despite that we had fun.

My oldest daughter, as usual, wanted a stuffy. We went to a store and she decided she wanted to wait to get something at a different place (because she usually liked the stuffed animals there. So later that day we drove down and - to her dismay - the new stuffed animals there were for little kids. We asked how she could tell, but she said she could. She did not want them. But we didn't have time to go back to the other place (since this was a restaurant and we were going to be eating dinner and the other place would be closed). I drove back up afterwards, looking for any place that might sell something similar, but nowhere did. The next day we knew a snow storm was coming in, a huge one. So she was very sad that we wouldn't be able to go back - but I was proud of her for two reasons: 1) She was able to hold off getting something now for the hopes of something better. 2) She didn't just grab something at the second place, because she knew she didn't want those. And although she cried and was very sad, she did not get something there. I was proud of her for that.

The next morning, we decided to go out in the storm and we did end up getting that stuffy for her. I got her something extra too because I was proud of her for waiting.

As for this track - well, I'm trying to see - do I really need that SX-240? Just because it's pretty? Basically, I have found the Prophet 10 actually does sound almost identical to the SX-240. As cool/nice as it is, I can't just keep all this stuff. There's just too much stuff here and I can make the same or better stuff without some of these synths in my studio.
