808 bliss.

"Key Tracks is a new series presented by Red Bull Music Academy in which musical mavericks walk us through the making of their signature tunes. For this debut edition, we speak to the the king of the West Coast electro sound, Egyptian Lover, as he shows us the backstory – and the 808 beat – behind his 1984 classic 'Egypt, Egypt'."

"Frac version of the Fonitronik Voltage Controlled Ring Modulator"

I realize I don't have a Frac label.  I created a eurorack label a while back for posts that focused on eurorack systems in general vs. the focus being on a particular manufacturer.  I didn't create a Frac label as when you saw a Frac system you could easily identify just a few brands.  I realize now that if you want to sort by Frac only, there is no way to really do it.  You have to know the brands and then you have to check the label for each.  To give Frac more exposure, I decided to create a Frac label with this post.   Two popular formats to look at in the archives for Frac are Blacet and Paia.

On a side note, I do have a Modcan label for that format and Cynthia which was popular in the format but now does most formats.  I also have MOTM/Synthtech, but for Moog/Dotcom/Moon Modular and the like, I still have the labels separate.    We'll see how it goes, but for now Frac and Eurorack will have their labels.

One of the best sounding emulations imo. It's uncanny. So want this for the iPad.

"Demo of the new Mastertone bank for the SonicProjects OP-X PRO-II virtual analog Oberheim VSTi synth plugin. No external effects or any other treatments have been involved. All sounds are coming directly from OP-X PRO-II.

The bank offers 64 excellent presets which all have a warm and full character. The patches are a pleasure to play and too perfectly fit in any mix. The sounds have been modelled after the following synths:

- Oberheim OB-Xa
- Oberheim OB-8
- Oberheim Xpander
- Oberheim Matrix-12
- Roland Jupiter-6
- Roland Jupiter-8
- Moog Minimoog
- Crumar BIT99

The bank can be downloaded here:
