MySynthFetish HS80 Select Patches

Published on Apr 19, 2015 The Outsider

"This video offers a preview 14 of the 64 sounds I programmed for the Roland HS-80, although they are compatible with the Alpha-Juno 2 and MKS-50.

(The sysex is available via the link at the end of this description)

Crappily improvised live, recorded into Logic Pro X through Mackie Onyx 1602i mixer, with a bit of effects from a Sony HR-MP5. Yeah, yeah, I know, I know. Look, I programmed the sounds dry, but 90% of the time play with effects on my sounds because: Yes, you do. And, I thought of playing all 64 sounds, but after the first few I realized I was already past 5 minutes, so... 14 will do.

The story behind this particular HS-80 is a rather interesting one, and can be found here:

Part 3: http://mysynthfetish.tumblr.com/post/...

Patches used:
1-1 GrowlyBass. Pretty much what the name implies.
1-2 Muster. Inspired by Das Muster (who is a JU-2 genius).
1-3 LongPWMpad. No surprises here. Long. PWM. Pad.
1-5 SickStrings. Typical Juno strings, but with seasickness.
1-6 Brass Swell. Though not all that brassy. Low notes are nice.
1-8 PolySynth3. Common 80s polysynth sound? Hmm. Ok.
2-1 ScubaSweep. Inverted envelope trickery.
2-4 DarkFuture. Late 70s Sci-Fi feeling? Brassy? Ominous.
2-5 StepSeqMe. Quick, sharp sound in need of sequencing.
2-6 WeirdNoise. Noisy, resonant weirdness.
2-8 ChoiKowai. Means "A bit scary" in Japanese. Very modulated.
5-3 Zukunft3. Step sequence sound?
5-4 Zukunft4. Low pad filter sweep-ish sound?
5-5 BldRnrBras. Might make Vangelis happy. Maybe.

5-3 and 5-4 are modeled after sounds in Anthony Rother's track Zukunft off the excellent LP Netzwerk Der Zukunft.
