DiY Filter Shootout
DiY Filter Shootout from Quijote Cinemusica on Vimeo.
"Finally got the Yusynth EMS style diode ladder filter to work. Decided to do a test with all 4 filters in my current modular setup:
1 - Yusynth Moog Transistor Ladder
2 - Yusynth ARP filter
3 - CGS Steiner Parker filter (lowpass input used)
4 - Yusynth EMS style diode ladder filter
All of them set to close to self oscillation.
Arp and Moog sound very similar to me. The Parker is harsher with less low end (but is state variable) , and the EMS is the most unique sounding I think, and has CV control for resonance. Very happy with all of them :)"

Waldorf miniworks 4 pole analog filter demo w/ Prophet 600 & TR-707
Published on Sep 8, 2013 fessx1·1 video
"Waldorf miniworks 4 pole analog filter demo: SCI Prophet 600 with a single chord played (MIDI from Ableton Live) going into the input of the Waldorf filter, with a Roland TR-707 output going into the trigger input of the Waldorf (and to the sound system mains).
This just scratches the surface of the box's operation, as it has a host of MIDI control and other routing/control features. Bare with me, I'm a bit rusty..."

Chaka Khan - I Feel For You Moog bass along
Published on Nov 27, 2013 303machine·3 videos
"All credits goes to Geeljasjes who unfortunately closed his channel.
His comment for this song:
Coolest period in Funk music for me was from 1981 to 1986.
This track is one of my faves from 84.
I Feel For You had been recorded twice before, but this is the coolest version. It's extremely over-produced, so it took me a while to get the same sort of result.
The machine drums at the start, which keeps on running throughout the whole track, was originally done using a DMX, Linn and TR808. All these can now perfectly be recreated inside Reel Machines by XLN-Audio.
I wasn't really pleased with Reel Machines initially, but having given it a second chance it's rather convincing and pleasant to work with.
After the rap intro Addictive Drums kick in, to put another layer of drums ontop and to give it a live feel.
My aim is always to find the middle between the original recording and a live feel.
I could have left Melle Mel's rap out, unless I had the original isolated track, but no one has that luxury, so I did it myself.
Only then I realized how difficult that rap was. Not having an American accent and of course Melle's deeper voice makes it somewhat sound silly, but it's effective enough (I hope?).
A lot of Prophet-5 and Jupiter-8 was used, especially all the brass sounds.
The harmonica was another difficult thing to replicate.
I used a sample from my Korg TR-Rack.
The Minimoog is completely unprocessed.
Enjoy!"
And the original: no synth spotting, but there's plenty of parachute pants spotting.
