Sequential Circuits Drumtraks | Cosmic

Published on Sep 20, 2018 Alex Ball

"The Sequential Circuits Drumtraks is an overlooked unit, perhaps because of the Linn, Roland and Oberheim classics that came first, or perhaps because Sequential are so famous for their legendary synthesizers. Either way, it has a very punchy sound and reminds me of the DMX and LinnDrum.

I was interested to see that Tame Impala had made use of one on the Currents album and combined with the "May peace prevail on earth" message on the circuit board; I thought I'd try some space pop rather than something 80s.

Drums: Sequential Drumtraks (1984) and PastToFuture Drums
Bass Guitar: Fender Jazz Bass / Orange OB1-300 / DBX 266XL
Electric Guitar: Squier Jagmaster (1998) / Blue Junior II / Vox Wah / Ibanez Tubescreamer / Boss CE-2 Chorus / SM57
Acoustic Guitar: Alvarez Baritone / AKG C414
Bass Synth: Sequential Circuits Pro-One (1981)
Polys: Roland Juno-6 (1982) / DSI Prophet REV2 (2017)

Electric Piano: Rhodes Mark I Seventy-Three (mid 70s)
Vocals recorded with an AKG C414
Harp: GForce Mtron Pro
TamTam & Cymbals: Spitfire Joby Burgess Percussion

"STS/Oakland era custom panel with extremely useful oscillator sync mod on both PCO's. The sync is much stronger than stock, making it very easy to lock in harmonic or subharmonic relationships, basically anything musically useful. This is an absolute requirement for live patching.

As you can see this panel is absolutely packed with functionality! Much more so than shop panels. It still works and sounds great after 20+ years.

Modules:
BUFF
ACPR
PCO

OB6 Pads ("Atlantis Rises, Atlantis Falls")

Published on Sep 20, 2018 Kris Lennox

"Underwater choir/orchestra/organ sound. Patch programmed by Poseidon, god of the sea :)

I created bass & arpeggiator patches/sequences for this track, but after listening, I prefer the sound of it as a single-track, minimalist ambient work.

All chords 6-note i.e. Obi at max voicing/polyphony."

Beatmaking from the skies: MASCHINE MIKRO x junk-E-cat | Native Instruments

Published on Sep 20, 2018 Native Instruments

No way! I think this wins for best outdoor video ever.

"The new MASCHINE MIKRO has landed. Watch junk-E-cat take to the skies with our new gear – sketching out uplifting beats while paragliding through the Alps. junk-E-cat is a Berlin-based musician and explorer, creating and producing music on the fly wherever he feels inspired – from city rooftops to abandoned buildings. Watch his most ambitious video yet."

Note: giving this one the synth humor label because it made me laugh out lough. So cool!
