Demo-Impro for Waldorf XT by Monade Ach

Published on Feb 15, 2013 ModN3·12 videos

"This is my real first demo, I was such excited, so the video is not perfect as I wanted, the Waldorf's sound is so amazing that I wanted to share it with you. I am not a pianist too, i do this demo for people interested by this synthesizer that I bought a month ago."

A Paraphonic Tale of the Giant Squid - Roland RS-505

"Inspired by recent video footage of the giant squid, this piece features the lovely Roland RS-505 string machine on all synth duties. It was a little tricky for me, as I've grown accustomed to using some form of MIDI and/or CV in, and this ancient beast can only be played live! Can you say, old school?! Note that any phase or flange effect comes from the Paraphonic's own fabulous Ensemble section."

"Gear setup for the track 'living with schizophrenia'

The song was inspired by a video depicting what it is like to be schizophrenic. The telephone sample and female voice in the middle are all from the video.

The track represents a person waking up, disoriented but functioning, unable to really grasp what’s going on and hearing all sorts of voice like noises. The phone rings but when answered, there is an incomprehensible voice making instrument like noises coming from the handset. Things get progressively darker and fuller sounding as the middle arrives and everything seems to grind to a halt, While the Xoxbox keeps playing, like reality still going on in the background of someone’s life. A voice then explains this is all a simulation, and to get ready because now it’s about to really get going, then the effect comes back, this time rising to an explosive peak followed by an intense release giving way to lighter yet still tenseful self realisation that everything is going to be ok, this time....

The track started out as a jam with the 808 and the analog solutions reverb. I had the doepfer LFO modulation the reverb and recorded a few passes noodling with it. The big wind down and wind up effect in the middle of the track (including the high pitch whine) is achieved solely with the reverb setting being cranked to the max by the slow sweep of the LFO. In the last part of the song, it the effect of the 808 that is heard overtop the Drumtraks.

That doepfer LFO a-145 is a good deal, this one was $80 used. It can go super slow and you can retrigger it. Very handy as a modulation source for any synth or effect gear in you may own that has some type of analog control input.
