"A bridge between two worlds: the analog warmth of the GS Music e7, powered by rich sawtooth waves, meets the digital intelligence of the Teenage Engineering OP-XY. Expression, control, and synthesis in perfect balance."

SOFTPOP SPII: OMEGA dB x BASTL Instruments (with patch notes)

"We collaborated with OMEGA dB on some audio samples for our SPII.

Few words from Omega dB and patch download: https://bit.ly/3CsR92i

I’m very excited to collaborate with such an innovative brand as BASTL Instruments, which helps many artists to achieve very special and unique sounds. ​​I was lucky to explore in-depth at the amazing SPII Softpop Synthesizer. I've tried a lot of synthesizers. But I've never tried anything like it before. It's a small but mighty sound design tool. As BASTL says: “Softpop SP2 is a radical subtractive synth under the influence of unconventional digital control. It’s a rare beast that excels at both melody and noise in equal measure.” I totally agree with these words.

In this video, I made some patches to make it sound in different ways, in it sounds raw, with its character, using the native sequencer, slide, and scales. In others, I've added external processing with some of my favorite FX pedals, which gives it another kind of character. I also sequenced it with OP-Z's sequencer via midi, receiving clock, and pitch.

The video was recorded before the firmware update. The new firmware makes it an even more powerful tool, with new oscillator waveforms, and more features. So even more creative.

From Barcelona to Brno with love.

NYMPHES / An Outdoors Sacred Performance by OMEGA dB

video upload by Dreadbox

"We are so happy and excited for this collaboration with OMEGA dB

'It's wonderful to be able to take your favourite synths with you and be inspired by magical places. This time, I have brought with me my Dreadbox NYMPHES with OP-Z and a Powerbank to power it.

I have been to “L’Ermita de La Trinitat”, a sacred place on the heights of the “Parc Natural del Garraf” in Sitges, a beautiful place with views of the Mediterranean Sea surrounded by pine forests.

This was a part of my happening. From here to Greece with love.'

STUDIO ELECTRONICS CODE 4 // 4 BY FOUR // OMEGA // ELEKTRON ANALOG FOUR

LESINDES
Published on Aug 4, 2017

"STUDIO ELECTRONICS CODE 4 playing all the melody tracks. Main track (the that is tweaked in the video) is sequenced by ARTURIA BEATSTEP PRO. The sound of this sequence has its charming character from the FM modulation of the OBERHEIM style 12 dB LoPass filter which is somewhere between fretless bass and a tenor brass instrument!
All tracks are un-EQ-ed and I was using some onboard FX for the ELEKTRON ANALOG FOUR drum sounds. But for the SE CODE 4 tracks I was not using any FX at all!!!"
