Dervish D Vangelis Tribute by Paul Schilling

"A tribute to one of my musical Gods, Vangelis. His original comment for this track:

'inspired by the Dervish dancer who by his whirling realises the spiralling of the universe'"

The main synth sounds were created with Arturia Origin and CS-80V3 - mainly all Arturia Origin CS-80 modules, except for the Vangelis harmonica and lead sound, which is the Arturia CS-80V3. The percussion and pad towards the end are the DSI Prophet-6.

Roland MV-8000 MEGADRONE by LavLab

"LavLab experimenting with the Roland MV-8000 Analog Modeling Bass Synth. All sound coming from one note on the Bass Synth with internal effects."

I forgot the MV-8000 had analog modeling bass synth built in. Curious if the model is unique to the MV-8000 or ported from one of their other synths.

Via Roland's site on the MV-8000:

"Built-in Bass Synth

A bonus feature unique to the MV-8000 is its new internal analog-modeled bass synthesizer, which can be played from the MV’s own trigger pads or via MIDI. With its two fat oscillators, multimode resonant filter, LFO, envelope follower, ring and cross modulation, delay, chorus, portamento, and more, this synth can inject serious style and spice into your productions."

and:

"NEW Version 3 Software

Roland continues its expansion of the MV-8000 platform with the release of Version 3 software. With linear-based recording already established on the MV, now come the additions of Pattern and Drum Grid composing modes — giving you the best of both worlds. Also new is a built-in analog modeling synth-bass and Pix Jam, an innovative new feature that lets you load and trigger your own custom graphics. The MV-8000 also sports ultra-intuitive operation via external VGA and mouse, with an enhanced piano roll editor and visual editing of waveforms in the audio tracks."

EMS Synthi A Rare Vintage Analog Synthesizer

"Legendary EMS Synthi A.

It's 100% fully functional and in excellent shape.

Cosmetically it does show a some wear, mainly some of the lettering in the font panel graphics are worn out, but overall very nice shape with minimal signs of dings or scratches. Check out the pictures to make sure you like it. No funky odd smells or overly bad rusting, this one has been well kept over the years. I believe this unit is a MkII due to the presto patch in the patch pin section. Supposedly MkII's are more reliable due to better power supplies.

The EMS Synthi A is one of the most classic legendary mono synths, and it really is worth every penny, it has such unique huge analog sound and can get a range of tones like no other synth. A must have for any serious collector or musician's studio. This is a great chance to own a legendary synth. Don't miss out!"

Tips for NAMM Posts on MATRIXSYNTH

It's that time of year again! As always things get a bit hectic here on MATRIXSYNTH.

The following are some tips to keep track of your favorite gear.

1. Everything NAMM for 2017 will be labeled NAMM2017 at the bottom of each NAMM post. You can find the label on the right of the site under the "Check Out:" section as well. Clicking on the label will bring up all NAMM posts sorted by newest post on top.

2. To find all posts for a featured item, click on the company or brand label for the item at the bottom of the post, and previous posts will come up, again sorted by newest on top. Note non NAMM posts might be mixed in, so just scroll down to get to what you want. Creating a NAMM label for each brand to remedy this would be overkill. the train does not stop for NAMM, NAMM just gets thrown into the mix.

3. The New Gear in 2017 label applies to both NAMM and non NAMM new gear announcements, so be sure to keep an eye on that label as well if you are interested in new gear. In most cases, only the first post for the new item will come up, so you need not worry about weeding through multiple posts for the same item. Remember, you can always drill down by the manufacturer label for follow-up posts. You can find the New Gear label on the top right, under the "Check Out:" section, throughout the year.

4. Remember to click on the "Older Posts" link on the bottom of each page on the site for more.

5. Have fun!

NAMM is a crazy time of year on the site.
