The Patch is the Goal

via The B-Roll where you'll find the track accompanying this image and the full write-up.

"For All You Synth Nerds [Ahem!], Here’s the Basic Breakdown: The first oscillators ADSR is being triggered with a medium decay through the BBD and the Tip Top delay effect. It’s pitch is slowly rising and falling through a quantizer which keeps it in tune. OSC’s 2 and 3 are tuned to a 5th and are being sequenced by a clock divider + mixer with some heavy portamento via the dual slew limiter. They are also going through their own Lowpass filter which is being modulated very slow. Finally, I added white noise through a slowly modulated lowpass filter to bring in that very soothing sound of the ocean. The pan on every channel is being very slowly modulated as well."

MOOG - Memorymoog Synthesizer - model 345a

SN 1220 via this auction

"The Memorymoog is a voice-assignment polyphonic synthesizer manufactured by Moog Music from 1981-1983. Incredibly reliable and durable with an exceptional easy to use interface, It has the ability to store up to 100 patches in computer memory. It has six independent voices, each containing three voltage-controlled oscillators, a voltage-controlled 24db/octave lowpass filter, two ADSR contour generators, and extensive modulation facilities. This means that there are 18 oscillators, six filters, and 12 contour generators in the unit. However, there is a single set of controls for those components, meaning that their sound is programmed homophonically. So each program governs each voice identically."

1st Day

"Watching my excited daughter board the School Bus for the first time reminded me the excitement of my freshman year in High School. This was during the beginning of the New Wave 80's music revolution. From Journeys' Escape album to Thomas Dolby and Herbie Hancock, as well as the artist of the Miami Vice Soundtrack. There was so much great synth music and so very little time to enjoy it all.
This song started as an autumn season tribute and ended up as a walk through the hallways of my youth. I poured on the gravy this time. No holds barred. No Polyphony left either. I actually layered some extra TS 12 pads in Audacity at the intro to the second verse as it didn't sound thick enough. The Roland D series takes center stage with warm chiming pads of the D 110 with help from the Quadraverb GT (chorus, reverb and delay) and ghostly Phased pads of the D 20 and Digitech RP350. The D5 has the Rhythm Card loaded up and is dedicated to drums and percussive hits through the Boss RSD-10 for deep Reverb. The Korg M3r has a panning/tremolo electric piano. The Ensoniq VFX SD has the honor of providing glossy synth stabs as well as some techno snare hits and the bass with the filters opened/modulated by the wheel. The TS12 is sequencer, handclaps and bass as well as synth/arpeggiator layered with the D 110.
All the instruments are mixed and run completely analog into the sound card. Then it is captured by Audacity (freeware) to be later synched with the video. So any program compatible with Audacity can be mixed in later and added to another copy of this video. I was going to solicit a driving lead for this song from my fellow YouTubes, but the logistics nightmare pushed me away (sending multiple copies through email.) Maybe ... Anyone have suggestions???"
