Analog Solutions Fusebox 3: Hands-On Demo

Published on Nov 30, 2018 Starsky Carr

"A demo of the fantastically analog Fusebox 3 by Analog Solutions.

It's surprising how busy you can be while performing on a synth without a keyboard!

I've included a step-by-step explanation of how the 2 main patches are developed through the duration of the track.

The kick and toms are from Slate Digital SSD4 Blackbird expansion pack. FX are via the Eventide H9 Space Time algorithm 'Quarterly Delay' plus noise' hats through Unfiltered Audio's BYOME plugin from Plugin Alliance."

"This is the first of the meditative/mood channels running in Glo, a new demo for our KS campaign: https://kck.st/2KGAHjj

No post-processing or added effects, everything is recorded via the Whale pocket synth and then cut in AfterFX. This is a raw output from the Whale."

Espen Kraft: Can I make a retro game tribute track? The Kung Fu Arcade

Published on Nov 30, 2018 Espen Kraft

Roland Alpha Juno-2, S-10 sampling keyboard, Casio SK-1, and three E-Mu Emax sampling keyboards (Emax I & 2 Emax II).

"I had this track released some time ago, 'The Kung Fu Arcade', but I was never quite happy with the sound or production so I've cleaned it up and the catalysator for getting the mood to do so was playing this little Galaga MyCabinet retro game I picked up at the local game shop.
This put me right back on track as playing it stirred up memories I'd forgotten and I got inspired to finish the track.

Rare Studio Electronics P-Five Rev3.2 - Rack Mount Prophet 5 w MIDI I/O

via this auction

Here’s something you don’t see everyday. A custom Sequential Circuits Prophet-5 Rev 3.2 modified into a rack with MIDI by Studio Electronics, the P-Five. Before they made their own synths, they modified classics like the Minimoog into the Midimini, the Oberheim OB-8 into the OBie-Eight, and the Prophet-5 into the P-Five. The P-Five appears to be the rarest of the three followed by the OBie-Eight, followed by the Midimini - at least as far as they come up for sale.

SKULPT SYNTH - volca keys/roland boutique on stereoids ? | an Ambient jam with SPECULAR TEMPUS

Published on Nov 29, 2018 Funk Tree

"SKULPT SYNTH; Case is cheap but voice is rich. Filter is solid with great low end response. Stacked voices sound very close to a DSI voice. Drive 'circuit' is much better than on the monologue. Voice structure is unique and clever. Using launchpad pro as MIDI controller helps me to get expressiveness transformed to Skulpt's mod matrix. Did I mentioned Specular Tempus as best verb for ambient ... "

OB-6 does Max Richter

Published on Nov 28, 2018 Kris Lennox

"Max's 'Dream 13 (minus even)', performed on/arranged for OB-6.

Original here - [embed below]

I omitted the A section repeat; I feel it works well without it.

The original is actually a cut & paste job - the cello part is a single take dropped in (piano part is also cut/paste at repeat points - you'll hear it on the original if you listen closely). I wonder if the cellist was paid to record only two notes, or was paid for each time the sample is used! Short recording session, for sure!

Bass sounds good. I'm intentionally emphasising the upper-end fizz of the SEM filter on the bass part, as it's such a distinctive sound.

Taking an acoustic work and giving it a synth arrangement such as this certainly isn't for everyone, but that's ok - it is just some fun :) Plus, as always, the Obi sounds great.

All best
Kris"

Max Richter - Dream 13 (minus even)

Published on Aug 10, 2015

"Acclaimed Britsh composer Max Richter has written a new landmark recording: SLEEP is 8 hours long – the equivalent of a night’s rest – and is actually and genuinely intended to send the listener to sleep. 'It’s an eight-hour lullaby,' says its composer, Max Richter.

The ground-breaking new work is scored for piano, strings, electronics and vocals – but no words. 'It’s my personal lullaby for a frenetic world,' he says. 'A manifesto for a slower pace of existence.'"
