DreamsOfWires - Korg Arp Odyssey 'Mk1 Whiteface'

Published on Jun 5, 2017 DreamsOfWires

"Korg Arp Odyssey - Just a temporary visitor, but I'll try to make a couple of videos with it. I previewed a short, preliminary moment from it on Instagram, so here's what it mutated into. (Original clip: https://instagram.com/p/BUvBUCilbWU/)
This is a multitracked recording, done in a pretty slap-dash manner, but all sounds are from the Odyssey, plus some reverb from Virsyn's AudioReverb and Kymatica's AUFX: Space within an iPad via an iConnectAUDIO4+. The main melody was sequenced then 'tweaked' in real-time, everything else was played manually - I like keeping it organic.
Video footage is of Harwich and Felixstowe (UK) last autumn, filmed with a Lumix GX7 and an iPhone 5.
Any gear/software I haven't mentioned is because I don't want to :P Please don't ask. I don't make instructional videos, I'm no expert on anything, it's mostly just for my own pleasure, and hopefully of some enjoyment to others."

Hope you enjoy it!

SYNTH EVOLUTION - Illustrations of Classic Synthesizers

"SYNTH EVOLUTION is a new business specialising in illustrations of classic synthesizers, from the earliest Moog and Buchla systems of the early 1960s, right up to the introduction of the first analogue modelling synths of the early 1990s.

Every synth manufactured during that time has been covered - from the big names of Moog, Roland and Yamaha to the more esoteric products from RMI, Wersi and Powertran. Between them, all these synthesizers - and more importantly, the musicians who use them, have transformed music of the last 50 years bringing previously undreamt of sounds and styles to musical culture.

The first range of products from SYNTH EVOLUTION are stylish white ceramic mugs emblazoned with illustrations of these mighty instruments. There is a selection to browse from on the website, but any synth from a list of over 270 can be requested!

Note that currently only synthesizers are available - drum machines, samplers and more recent instruments are in the pipeline, as are other products.

Delivery worldwide.

Moog Modular 3C (1967)

Buy now

The Moog Modular Synthesizer 3C (1967) was one of Robert Moog's earliest instruments and formed the basis of what was to become the world's largest modular synthesizer 'TONTO'. Created by Malcolm Cecil, 'The Original New Timbral Orchestra’ eventually comprised two Moog Modular 3C's as well as many other modules from other manufacturers.




Arp 2600 (1971)

Buy now

The Arp 2600 was created in 1971 by Alan R. Pearlman and has been a classic ever since. Notable users are too numerous to list in full, but include Stevie Wonder, Jean-Michel Jarre, Orbital, Rick Wakeman and Nine Inch Nails. It was also used to create R2D2's bleeps and bloops in Star Wars.


Yamaha CS-80 (1977)

Buy now

The polyphonic Yamaha CS-80 is synonymous with the lush chord sound of Vangelos - such as the opening sequence of Bladerunner.

Released in 1977, it's eight note polyphony was a revelation, but it's 90kg weight meant some serious weight training was required to own one.


Con Brio ADS 200 (1980)

Buy now

The Con Brio Advanced Digital Synthesizer (ADS) 200 was an extraordinary synthesizer released in 1980 costing over $20,000. Based on additive synthesis, FM, phase modulation and some other esoteric sound generation methods it had 64 note polyphony and 16 oscillators per note.

Quite a beast, and a splendid looking one too - perfect for a retro-futuristic mug of tea!

Falling (Drone Techno with Modular, MS-20, MachineDrum)

Published on Jun 4, 2017 Tape Ghost

"Saw Gunnar Haslam destroy the club last night with a blistering live set on his modular and an 808 + SH-101. Felt inspired to sit down today and work through some new ideas on my modular and try to create a drone techno track.

Modules used:
Piston Honda for the drone voice
Loquelic Iteritas for the sonar ping
Mutable instruments Ripples on the Loquelic
WMD SSF Multi mode filter on the drone voice
Intellijel Quadra + Sputnik VCF/VCA LPG for the envelops

MS-20 for the drone voice at the beginning

Elektron Machinedrum for all the drum sounds

Mixer is off screen which is why I keep going off screen. Eventide H9 as a reverb send, Electro-Harmonix Flanger Hoax on send 2 as a distortion."
