Prodyssey ASB Creamware, using as an old modular synthesizer, with Beatstep Arturia.

Published on Jan 15, 2016 KurtzMindfields

"Demo (1/3) of the great emulation of the ARP Odyssey, the creamware ASB can do many things (polyphonic synth, lead mono synth, with memories and internal effects ...), but at first we are expected to get that particular ARP sound and philosophy approach! lets see as a typical old ARP modular sequenced synth!? Well after working with, i can saying that his doing well the job!"

Kind of interesting when you look at the different sections of the panel as different modules, which essentially they are. A standalone synth is just a bunch of modules patched together. What makes a modular a modular is being modular. :) Meaning... You can swap modules about, in and out, to create different systems. Because you have to patch discrete modules together, all the inputs and outputs for modulation then add to that.

Dreadbox Hades and Erebus Synths - Quite the Team

Published on Jan 15, 2016 ProckGnosis

"A demo showing the Dreadbox Hades Bass Synth married up to and running through the Dreadbox Erebus Synth and filter. For me, the two work quite well together, with the Hades nicely complementing the Erebus, giving you the extra benefits of:
1. A third oscillator to do paraphonic 3-note chords
2. A third Oscillator to fatten up your mono leads and basses
3. A variable PW waveform (for folks who own the Erebus first edition, which has no PW capability)
4. Two sub oscillators

All of that combined makes for one aggressive, mix-cutting analog synth that is a definite pleasure to play. Cheers!"
