MIDIbox SammichSID Patch Demo

Published on Dec 19, 2012 by piamuk

"TITLE TYPO: It's 2 6851 SID Chips. Oops.

Demo of most of the stock patches. The Right Channel SID has a dead Oscillator (OSC 1), so the patches are not going to sound exact, but close enough. Couple of things to note, the loud pop when changing patches is the nature of the beast. Also the VCA bleed is inherent in all SID chips.

Effects used: Electro Harmonix Cathedral, Moog Moogerfooger MF-104M Analog Delay.

PSP Vintage Warmer V2 Compressor on Master Channel at mixdown."

The $15,000 Drum Machine

Published on Dec 19, 2012

"A rhythm patch using a Moon 590 bus as a trigger sequencer and mostly tube-based Zerosum Inertia modules as the sound source. Yes, you could do the same thing with your "bent" TR-505, but it wouldn't be nearly as much fun."

Doeper Dark Energy II Rnd Seq & FM

Published on Dec 19, 2012 by AudioCentralMagazine

"Doepfer Dark Energy II under Dark Time sequencer control (sequence in random mode advance); some nasty audio rate FM modulation over Cutoff Frequency; some Filter Mode exchange while seq is running. No FX. Straight to digital out."

Published on Dec 19, 2012 by Richard Schmitt

beautiful Grp A4 synthesizer from Italy.
Multitracked in Cubase, some delay, reverb and compression added."

EMW300-200 Demo by Atomic Shadow

EMW300-200 Demo from Atomic Shadow on Vimeo.

"I finally received the EMW-300 controller and paired it up for this quick demo with the EMW-200. It extends the capabilities of the 200 with sequencing and the ability to play the keypads. No external effects or processing of the audio. I took it straight out and in to my Zoom HD4."

MARK JENKINS "EX1GENE" CD Composed on Yamaha EX1

MARK JENKINS "EX1GENE" (AMP-CD060)

MARK JENKINS has released his latest CD “EX1GENE”, performed entirely on the giant triple keyboard Yamaha EX1 synthesizer, the theatre version of the GX1 played by Keith Emerson (ELP), Stevie Wonder, Led Zeppelin and Hans Zimmer.

The CD which features nine tracks including a cover of Henry Mancini’s Emmy and Grammy award-winning “Peter Gunn” theme as played by ELP, plus sound samples for musicians to create their own EX1 textures, is available worldwide through Amazon, selected mail order outlets, and direct from Mark’s website.

"After recording the world's first CD created entirely on an Apple iPad, which must be about the smallest synthesiser system available, I thought it would be fun to create an album entirely using one of the largest", Mark explains. The CD features music in the styles of Jean-Michel Jarre, Tangerine Dream, Klaus Schulze, Ashra, Cluster and the other "Berlin School" musicians, as well as ambient/world pieces more comparable to the music of Brian Eno, and of course that storming prog rock cover of Henry Mancini's "Peter Gunn" theme which became a favourite in the Emerson, Lake and Palmer live set.

The album also features the voice of poet Walter De La Mare, and one of the tracks was assembled retrospectively from EX1 sound samples which are also included on the CD for other musicians to create their own EX1 textures. "As an all-analog synth the EX1 has some great rich synth sounds, huge pedal basses and classic drum machine patterns, and it's great to be able to make some of these available to other musicians".

"EX1GENE" is now available worldwide. Since the EX1 weighs 485 pounds, Mark promises he will be sticking to iPads for concert performances...
