The Late Show with Dav...: David Letterman - Jon Huntsman Rocks


YouTube Published on Dec 21, 2011 by CBS

"The Republican presidential candidate shows off his rock & roll roots with an impromptu performance."

& some synth spotting with Paul Shaffer. He still has his Kurzweil K250 & Oberheim OB-Xa. Moog Voyager and Roland Fantom X7 round things out. It's too bad Jon Huntsman didn't get any power synth time.

Here comes trouble. Sequential Circuits Six Trak.


YouTube Uploaded by rushbury on Apr 24, 2010

"All synths on this track are the Six Trak, apart from the bass sound. Percussion - Reason Redrum loaded with ethnic percussion sounds."

Sequential Circuits Six Trak sequence workout with Oberheim Matrix 1000

Uploaded by rushbury on Aug 12, 2010

"All synths and some percussion created with the six trak, apart from the played bright pad sound (oberheim matrix 1000). The six trak is responsive to cc messages, so you can automate paramater changes via your sequencer."

Sequential Circuits Six Trak and Oberheim Matrix 1000 Instrumental Custom Patches

Uploaded by rushbury on Apr 21, 2010

"A short instumental piece using these great analogue synths. There are two tracks of Oberheim Matrix 1000, and one track of Sequential Circuits six trak. I'm posting this vid as an example of the kind of sounds you can get from these fantastic (and cheap) synths. Some more vids soon (with some live action next time, hopefully)."

Roland D-550 Frippertronics D-50


YouTube Uploaded by rushbury on Jul 25, 2011

"I made this patch on the Roland D-550 which i thought sounded a bit like Robert Fripp's Frippertronics. The delay/repeat effect is achieved with the chase function on (levels set to full). Effects used - reverb and a stereo enhancer. This is one single patch, no overdubs."

Roland D-550 and PG 1000 Instrumental improvisation Roland D50

Uploaded by rushbury on Apr 21, 2010

"D-550 improvisation using a custom patch made with the PG 1000 controller. This is just one single patch, no overdubs. The Roland D-50/D-550 is an amazing synth, it has a certain something that often surprises and delights. You gotta use that PG 1000 to get the best out of it though (or a software editor, i recommend sounddiver for the pc). Seek and ye shall find!.."

ROLAND D-550 and PG-1000 Atmosphere Pad Roland D-50

Roland D-50 D-550 Soundtrack Improvisation

Uploaded by rushbury on Nov 23, 2010

"3 tracks of Roland D-550 using custom patches. This is my first time recording using Cubase 5 - i used pan effects, reverb and delay. The more i play this machine, the more i love it! By the way, check out this excellent librarian and editor software for the D-50/D-550. http://www.d50librarian.co.uk/
The best librarian i have seen for the D-50, and it even has a virtual PG-1000 if you don't have the real thing..."
