Solvent "RDJCS5-ep" promo [suction022] - Featuring Aphex Twin CS-5

YouTube Uploaded by s0LVentCIty on Jul 24, 2011
Interesting bit of a specific synth's history.

"Artist: Solvent
Title: RDJCS5-ep
Label/Cat: Suction Records / suction022
Format: 4-song EP digital/lim.12" vinyl
Release Date: Sept. 6, 2011

Occasionally one reads about some musical instrument with an illustrious past, Jimi Hendrix's guitar, John Lennon's piano, selling for exorbitant amounts of money at auction. And typically, that's the last of it, the instrument disappearing into some rich collector's display case, never to be heard from again. Here then, is a bit of a different story. In April 2006, a Yamaha CS5 monosynth, having been owned by Richard D James (Aphex Twin), with the actual liner notes for his landmark "Selected Ambient Works Volume II" etched into the bottom, was sold at VEMIA auction for approximately $1200 - a bargain in retrospect. The winning bidder was, in fact, a friend of Solvent's, and the synth resides not in a display case, but in Solvent's studio, on generous long-term loan.

"RDJCS5", a new 4-track 12-inch / digital EP by Solvent, is the result. This is Suction022. Each and every sound on this record came from RDJ's old CS5, painstakingly programmed and multi-tracked by Solvent over the course of several months. The limited capabilities and sound palette of this humble little synth provided quite a challenge, but ultimately the results are not merely an exercise in technical synthnerdery; "RDJCS5" speaks more of Solvent's musical kinship to thee Analord. Opening track "Curtains" bears similarity to early Rephlex signing Bochum Welt, while "Radiator", "Mould", and "Tassels" each contain hallmarks of the classic AFX sound. At the same time, each track also sounds distinctly and unmistakably 'Solvent'.

The 12" vinyl edition is limited to 300 copies, in brown chipboard sleeve with sticker, and also contains an additional noise/drone piece at the end of side B. Entitled "Sandpaper", this cut will be individually hand-etched by Solvent, for a 1-of-a-kind cut/click/loop experience.

A1: Curtains
A2: Radiator
B1: Mould
B2: Tassels
B3: Sandpaper [vinyl-exclusive]

Sonic Faction Ableton Instruments - EvilFish 303 & Whoosh Machine

"Welcome to the new generation of Acid. SonicFaction painstakingly recorded the Devil Fish 303 note by note through high-end analog gear to capture the warmth and detail of the original instrument. What makes the Devil Fish modification so special is that it adds a ton of features which enhance the 303, literally turning an already classic instrument into a hot-rod analog beast.

In the spirit of the Devil Fish mod, we sampled the Overdrive at 4 different levels and we threw in new Ableton Distortion Wave Shaping as an additional sound sculpting tool. The meticulous recording and clever programming result in a truly massive instrument."

EvilFish 303 Audio Demos by SonicFaction - Videos further below.

"Every Producer/DJ needs a good Whoosh Machine. Well here it is. The highest quality white noises from analog sources. Just drag/drop this easy to use instrument into your Ableton Live set and whoosh away!

Whoosh Machine comes with multiple Low, Band and High Pass filters, an LFO and a Pumper for that big room side chain effect. We included tons of clips that give you timed whoosh intervals (ie. 2 bars up, 4 bars down etc.) You’ll be making epic build ups all night long with Whoosh Machine... and its FREE, brought to you by SonicFaction.

That’s how we roll."
