The Game Needs You

"Thank you Rickey West/Kool & the Gang for The Funk. I hope yous don't mind the bite, brawl, and sprawl.

SE-02 does everything, with the exception of (probably not a proper use of a colon, or list construction):

EMU Xtreme Lead Piano—apart from the fairly feral SE-02 External Input processed piano layers in the Cuban-flavored breaks—makes 1st appearance after the opening bass salvo;
95% of the hi hats;
non 90's kick;
voices;
ambient Golden Gate Park tunnel/stargate (Sunshine Jones knows the one), and "All the Things" Lyle Link's transcendent alto sax was on that eternal day spent with son #1 son Carlo (who maddeningly despises the saxophone). Good thing I never made Lyle any the wiser when we chatted warmly after the tune concluded; his entire performance is on my personal Facebook page. And yes brother Greg St. Regis and I are shedding the solo; the sax-like break in this piece is blessed by what I "met" in those SF reverberation revelations. Pay homage to the maestro, beautiful music people: www.lylelink.com/

Moving on from the things I must be forgetting, to bits I remember:

Synth chords/stabs/pads/moods—demanding polyphonics arranged and split apart in DP9, and then fed to the SE-02 one life at a time. Not as time consuming as one might imagine, and sounds so nice...

Kool's chords were tuned in the 3 OSC '02, and multi-tracked for the juicy result I hoped would follow, which did.

The ethereal flutey floating... lead (really needed another f word) = iPhone and SE-02 SPEAKER! Don't even think I touched it after that. And folks assigned that little guy to the trash heap upon 1st blush—another knee-jerk reaction proven wrong. We only know what we know, so knowing otherwise is tricky.

Crunch chords courtesy of DP9's brutally virtual Custom '59—you can hear the raw sound hard right.

Free now to pursue the next sound obsession, and not sure if that's wise... thanks for listening and reading, if you got this far,
MSR 10-12-17

Oh yeah the ending verse, one can almost discern:

The game, always lies beneath the truth;
why you surprised when it's uncouth?
The game, strips and preys with nail and tooth:
you can't decry your sacrificed youth.

AKAI TIMBREWOLF BEWARE OF THE BITE ANALOG SYNTHESIZER DEMO BY RIK MARSTON

Published on Oct 23, 2017 SynthgodXXX

"AKAI TIMBREWOLF 'BEWARE OF THE BITE'
ANALOG SYNTHESIZER DEMO BY RIK MARSTON
**Watch in HD** **Lite Clipping!! Watch those Subs!**

Ahh the Akai Timbrewolf. Nice BASIC synthesizer.
Very easy to use, sounds clean, built right. Solid keys.
Can detune easily. Can be a bit to calibrate. HOWL
(drive or overdrive) is really intense if not ready for it.
Sorry about the clipping, the Timbrewolf BITES so you
have to learn to TAME IT, if you choose too!!! LOL!
BEST feature is the UNISON MODE. NICE!!!
Mono mode is nice, POLY is GREAT with DECAY :)
Good for a basic synth if you need something
that just produces solid analog tone & BITE.
I ran the Akai Timbrewolf thru my trusty
ART Multiverb LT on the L1 setting @ 50%.
Then recorded in stereo into Ableton LIVE.

Thank you for watching!"

A currently underrated synth for whatever reason. The Prophecy supported both virtual analog and physical modeling. Some claim the Z1 is a polyphonic Prophecy, however they are slightly different. The parameters do not line up 100%.

CustomSynth Spotting on The Streets -- The Edge of a Cliff

"Mike's Blog: http://mikeskinner.so The D.O.T.: http://the-dot.net"

via @customsynth:

"this meant a lot to me glad to have painted a couple of things The Streets -- The Edge of a Cliff"

Custom synths come towards the end.

Some great lyrics to think about as well:

"I lay right there once at the edge of the rock
I was ready to jump, I was ever so lost
But this gentleman stopped and said something I never forgot
For billions of years since the outset of time
Every single one of your ancestors has survived
Every single person on your mum and dad's side
Successfully looked after and passed on to you life
What are the chances of that, like?
It comes to me once in a while
And everywhere I tell folk it gets the best smile"

Hope you like it anyway :)"
