The Living Daylights (cover by William Bajzek)

Published on Aug 27, 2018 wbajzek

"My cover of The Living Daylights by A-Ha and John Barry, from the movie of the same name. My cover is based on the album version.

Aside from the guitar, an Epiphone Les Paul Standard Pro, almost all other sounds you hear are Sequential Prophet 6. I layered a bit of DSI Mopho X4 into the kick and pads."

Beta Testing the Conductive Labs NDLR with U-HE "Dark Zebra" soft synth

Published on Aug 27, 2018 Genshi Media Group

"::| TO HEAR THE FULL RANGE OF FREQUENCIES, A GOOD PAIR OF HEADPHONES ARE HIGHLY RECOMMENDED |::

This is a quick demo video of the Conductive Labs NDLR during my beta testing of their pre-production unit. The NDLR is a "Sequenced Arpeggiator" device that can be used with both software and hardware synths; shown here being used with 4 instances of U-HE Dark Zebra soft synth running in Ableton Live. (I added a drum track afterward for flavor.)"

Waldorf Micro Q Keyboard Sound Demo

Published on Aug 27, 2018 Pure Ambient Drone

"Waldorf Micro Q Sound Demo for your enjoyment. Hey synth heads, I had a little more time so I thought you would enjoy a sound demo of the Waldorf Micro Q Synthesizer. NO TALKING synth demo of sounds. The Waldorf micro Q synthesizer is one of the most unique sounding synths in its class. One of the few classic synthesizers that can be called very unique. It's hard to get your hand on a Waldorf micro Q keyboard. They are very rare these days but I was lucky enough to obtain one. I hope you enjoy this demo of sounds of the Waldorf micro Q keyboard."

Best Ambient Synth Shootout #54: Quasimidi TechnoX - Song 1

Published on Aug 27, 2018 Christian's Sonic Spaces

"This is the first song with the Quasimidi TechnoX. It's a 21 voice 16-part multitimbral ROMpler from the mid-90s with a focus on techno, rave, electronic.

I used for the recording the following FX chain:
Quasimidi TechnoX - Alesis Ampliton - Alesis Philtre - Pigtronix Echolution 2 Deluxe - GFI System Specular Reverb 2. Depending on the recorded track some FX are deactivated

The signal went through a small Behringer mixer into the pc for recording. To create the complete song I recorded consecutively several stereo tracks. The final song was then mastered with a bit EQ and compression on some tracks and some limiting on the master track.

Well, I decided to go back to the basics, but at the same time make something useful for the synth community and do a kind of competition (I like competitions;-). What's my best synth for ambient music :-)"

Control Synthesis Deep Bass Nine

"Control Synthesis Deep Bass 9 Roland TB 303 clone plus a spare unit which only has the synth board, case and power transformers.

The working unit is fine,the second unit was bought with the midi not working, the CV input and output was ok but i managed to locate and talk to the original maker of the synth, sent him the board and that part of the synth got 'shelved' due to him not having the ability to reprogram the eprom responsible for the midi side of the board and got binned subsequently. So in essence the synth part and the transformers are spares for the working unit.

It is useful other as a 303 clone and also it converts the midi to CV and Gate outputs and can accept CV and Gate inputs to replicate the incoming signal, good for sound reinforcment to the original sound source. It also has an external audio input feed which uses the filter section of the synth, good for drum loops ETC...

If you add midi portamento controller information to the sequence it does tie the notes similar to how a real 303 works. Unlike all the digital clones there are out now this is analogue and sounds like it."

Univox Maxi-Korg / 800DV / K-3 Vintage Analogue Synth with Kenton Socket Kit

Note: links to listings are affiliate links for which the site may be compensated.

via this auction

"1970s duophonic synth that is essentially two Mini-Korgs in one case. Modified with a Kenton socket kit for control from a MIDI to CV converter (each synth channel can be controlled independently). There are a number of triggering options that can be used to generate patterns from either or both synth channels. The side panels have some marks, but the front panel is in excellent and complete, fully working condition. This is the same model of synth as used by Dave Ball from Soft Cell alongside a Synthe Bass." [posted earlier here]
