Z3000 / Z5000 complex patch 1

Z3000 / Z5000 complex patch 1 from GM on Vimeo.
"This patch got few tricks, first the Z5000 gets the sine from one VCO on his left channel then the sine of a second VCO on his right channel.

All three Z3000 are first having there frequencies set so they are spaced equally. Then, a CV from the computer Midi to CV is connected to all three, cascaded using the 1V/Oct I/O on the Z3000, all three are now playing the same sequence.

The VCO in the middle is frequency modulating the right VCO, the FM index is set at the 'safe zone'.

The most left VCO which is set to the highest frequency among the three is pulse width modulating the middle VCO.

Now the only thing left to do is just plug the waveforms from these three VCOs into filters and VCAS creating separate sound path and then sent to the computer interface for recording. Drums are played by a loop on Ableton Live. Thats it!!" TipTop Audio

Ryan Leslie Creates Diamond Girl

YouTube via RyanLeslieTV. via fischek. Alesis Andromeda A6
"Me (the Artist), Myself (the Producer), and I (the Engineer) get together in the studio to create my single "Diamond Girl". Great fun as usual.

Reviewing and re-sequencing the footage from this session revealed that it was possible to edit the video with an interesting twist: as though all of my alter egos were recording the song simultaneously, and even interacting with one another.

Please enjoy, request the song at radio, and share my music and vids with anyone else you think may appreciate them.

Synthesizer Programming - Episode 2 - Trance Lead

YouTube via Thalassa77. Episode 1 here.
"How to create a trance lead sound. Starting with a sequence using a basic patch I'll show how to get a typical trance lead sound. The last version of Synth1 has some kind of supersaw that you can get it detuning oscillator 1. This feature make this synth perfect for dance sounds.

The parameters values are approx. Values are expressed in %.

Hammond 102100 Analog monophonic synthesizer demo

YouTube via sounddoctorin
"Bob Weigel of Sound Doctorin' demonstrates the Hammond 102100 synthesizer, a rare analog monophonic unit capable of some warm sounds and somewhat flexible through use of an array of preset switches. Sliders for wind (noise), tuning and volume. But 7 buttons each for waveforms (32' square, 32' saw, 16' of the same, 8' of the same, and 4' of a pulsey saw), filter mode, Width (one shots and repeating) and rates for vcf, envelopes for vca, pitch bend envelopes/portamentos, and modulations. Presets are French horn, Tuba, Violin, Sax, Clarinet, and 'space echo'. Cancelling presets leaves one with whatever the button matrix has selected then. Only one button in each row of 7 can be pressed at once. But as you see some useful combinations do come up and it's certainly a useful synth for the studio."

Hammond 102100 analog synthesizer tune up!

"Bob Weigel of Sound Doctorin' ( Http://www.sounddoctorin.com ) runs through the tuneup procedures for the rare Hammond 102100 synthesizer. See also video doing sound demonstrations. These are a monophonic synth with a single vco and divide down square wave arrangement. Then footages are combined to create stepped saw waveforms which may be selected instead of squares from 32' to 4' and run through the VCF and VCA sections with modulations. But controls are limited to sliders for wind (noise) and tuning and volume, and preset buttons for 7 each waveforms, filter modes, sweep rates (repeating and one shot), Envelopes, and modulations. Still there are some very nice combinations and the sound is very warm though noisy base line so far. I may need to replace those electrolytics that measure a little high on esr meter."
