Noxxe - trying not duplicate Equinoxe IV

Published on Apr 28, 2018 100 Things I Do

"Maybe this is an internet meme I have missed out on and will soon be educated about but I keep being asked to cover Equinoxe IV by quite a few people. Not wanting to disappoint but also not wanting irritate people with cheesy covers of other people's compositions I sat down this weekend and came up with this. I hope you enjoy."

Starts at :46 with the Arturia Solina V, Elektron Analog Rytm, DSI Pro 2, Moog Minimoog Model D, and Clavia Nord Lead 2X.

Upcoming DIY midiphy LoopA MIDI Sequencer - Hawkeye - Microwaved (Waldorf Microwave 1, SID 8580 and friends)

Published on Apr 28, 2018 Hawkeye

"Hi, it has been a while...

This song sat on the sequencer for far too long - there were too many different melody lines going on and it was really difficult to bring it together - while i am not 100% convinced, it is the best possible effort with the midi clips i came up with, i hope you still like it - it had to be finished at some point, otherwise it would have occupied the sequencer for another few months :)

It was live sequenced on the midiphy LoopA - this small 'inspirational MIDI sequencer' will be available as an affordable DIY kit soon.

Other hardware used:
Dreamy string: Waldorf Microwave 1
Simple Lead: SID 8580 in MBSID/MB6582 synthesizer
Arpeggiated synth: Alesis Andromeda
Bass: MFB Dominion I
Second Lead: Roland V-Synth
Drums: Elektron Machinedrum
Audiograbber: Tascam DR-100
FX: Strymon Timeline and BigSky

Recorded directly from the hardware, only audio-compressed in post-production, but no DAW was abused during recording :).

Many greets to all DIY folks out there, you know who you are, thanks for your support and time!

I might be uploading a few DIY videos (e.g. how to build the LoopA sequencer used in this song) in the next time, if you are here only for songs, please don't go away, there will be more, later on :).

Thanks for watching and listening,
Hawkeye / Maelstroem Records"

Fat Sound/Slim Case: modding the Behringer Model D

Published on Apr 28, 2018 Olivier Ozoux

"I love my Behringer Model D, but I didn't really care for that big angled case, which turns out is mostly empty. So I decided that my first Behringer Mod will be to create a custom ultra slim case, hand made from a single piece of sheet metal.

And since I was having so much fun, I decided to use sounds from the shoot to create the music for this video. I hope you enjoy it.

Demo :: Prophet 8 vs Rev2 (no talking - just patches)

Published on Feb 15, 2018 SOLON Music

"Demo to compare the sound of the Prophet 8 and Rev2 playing the same patches. I used four patches from the factory presets for the Prophet 8 and three of my own patches:

1) Tom Sawyer
2) T8 Strings
3) Ice Planet
4) Analog Bliss
5) SOLON Arp
6) SOLON Swell
7) SOLON Homage to Synthmania

All patches were loaded up to the Rev2 via the Soundtower editor software.

I routed the MIDI from the Prophet 8 keyboard to the Rev2 and recorded the audio of both simultaneously so that the performances were exactly the same.

To hopefully make it intuitive to know which one is being listening to, the audio you are hearing is from the synth which is lit up - the other one is darkened."

Demo :: DSI Rev2 + Midiverb II :: Ambient

Published on Feb 8, 2018 SOLON Music

"Demo of Dave Smith Instruments Rev 2 and the Alesis Midiverb II.

Melancholy ambient vibes.

Composition by Paolo di Nicolantonio aka Synth Mania. A true legend.

This is an excerpt from a comparison video between the Prophet 8 and Rev2 that I'm putting together.

Midiverb II preset is preset no 29.

Demo :: Eventide H3000 Presets using SH101+ Aphex Twin Riff - Reverb, Chorus, Delay, FX

Published on Apr 28, 2018 SOLON Music

This one was spotted and sent in via Soviet Space Child.

"Demo of Eventide H3000 D/SE presets using Roland SH101 synth playing Aphex Twin riff from 'Tha' (Selected Ambient Works 85-92). 12 presets demo'ed:

211 CANYON
642 CRYSTAL ECHOES
231 MICROPITCHSHIFT
227 HUMP-VERB
635 BAND PAN
630 ALIENS
265 USEFUL VERB
197 SON OF KAMIKAZE
527 RICH CHORUS
181 HUNTER DELAY
243 RICH PLATE
396 HUGE SYNTH SPACE

Chose these presets because they worked well with the riff used and demonstrate a wide variety of the sounds that the unit can produce.

In Richard D James' own words: 'the Eventide H3000 d/se are absolutely mental lush devices, those ones in particular really envelop the sound rather than tack it on, special blessed bits of equipment. 3000 has something amazing though that few things can touch, i mean just the digital filters on it are insane, engineers must have been on fire when they made that thing.' (from the Syrobonkers interview)

SH101was recorded through Tube Tech MP2A preamp and Antelope Audio Eclipse converter into Ableton.

Audio from H3000 was recorded through Antelope Audio Eclipse converter into Ableton
