SEQUENTIAL PROPHET X | Sounds, Presets & Ambient Soundscapes【SYNTH DEMO】

Published on Feb 17, 2019 synth4ever

"Sequential Prophet X 61-key synthesizer demo, featuring Prophet X sounds, presets and ambient soundscapes. The Sequential Prophet X is a futuristic hybrid digital/analog synth that blends traditional synthesis with high quality samples from 8Dio.

The Prophet X is a bi-timbral, 8-voice-stereo, 16-voice mono/stereo, 32-voice paraphonic synthesizer. It has 2 sample-based oscillators + 2 digital oscillators, with 150 GB of internal samples from 8Dio and 50GB of additional storage for user-imported samples.

The Prophet X features an analog 4-pole resonant low-pass filter, digital high pass filter, 4 loopable five stage envelopes, 4 LFOs (triangle, saw, reverse saw, square, random), 64-step polyphonic step sequencer, arpeggiator, digital effects, a 16-slot modulation matrix with 28 sources and 92 destinations, 64 alternative tunings, semi-weighted keys with aftertouch, 512 factory & 512 user programs.

The 2 multi-sampled stereo instruments per voice feature editable sample start, sample end, loop size, and loop center, loop on/off, sample reverse, sample stretch, bit-rate reduction, and sample rate reduction which enables incredible sample control and movement.

The Sequential Prophet X allows for creative sound design and sonic exploration, putting cinematic performances at your fingertips. In this Prophet X demo I cover various sounds and presets as well as some ambient soundscapes to showcase some of the features of the Prophet X. This demo features pads, percussion, arpeggiators, cinematic strings, textures and piano improvisation.

The Sequential Prophet XL is the larger version with full-sized, semi-weighted, 76-key, Fatar TP/8 keyboard with velocity and channel (mono) aftertouch.

Both the Prophet X and Prophet XL are fantastic sounding hybrid digital/analog synths, and give you the power to create and compose music using both samples and synthesis in exciting new ways within a single instrument. "

LaserGong | Flanigan Ayoub & Chadra

Published on Feb 17, 2019 ClavAnother

"While recording bed tracks for the album, we fired a laser at Cory's gong which was being fed audio from the gong after being run through Bubba's modular synthesizer. A super cool side effect was that the laser got reflected onto the ceiling and then Cory was able to see it as well.

Playing condition:
Working - the keyboard works great, all but two keys play (the highest and lowest) are not making sound. A couple of the 'chord organ' buttons on the left side are intermittent but this is something that can be repaired with contact cleaner.

More about the Optigan:
If you are not familiar with the Optigan, the sound is not 'hi-fidelity' but is very unique and is loved by many admirers familiar with what it does!"

Access Virus TI Polar Synthesizer Upgraded to TI2

"This synth started its life as a first generation TI Polar.

It was then upgraded by the manufacturer to a second generation TI2 Polar where it was fitted with the new, more powerful TI2 processor. At the time, the synth was also assigned a new serial number designating it as a TI2 Polar.

The only differences between this "Hybrid" synth and an out-of-the-box TI2 Polar are minor cosmetic differences in the case, and one less USB port (TI comes with 2 USB ports; TI2 comes with 3 USB ports)."

Dave Smith DSI Evolver

Published on Feb 17, 2019

"This is a little tribute to Dave Smith and his amazing Evolver monosynth. This synth is now over sixteen years old and certainly its interface is feeling a little dated, but so much of what Dave Smith developed inside this synth has set the standard for everything that DSI have produced since, including the feedback circuit, modulation routings and four-channel sixteen step sequencer. Watch out for my next video which will go through the Evolver's features in more detail, including its very impressive software editor and VST plugin.

Special credits go to the following link for giving me access to the precious audio from Dave Smith's original product demonstration way back in 2003 which was broadcast by the Synthesiser Service Centre (SSC), London UK:

Simon & Garfunkel Save the Life of My Child featuring the Vintage Moog Modular System

Published on Feb 27, 2010

"The album begins softly, but takes a heavier turn with the second track, 'Save the Life of My Child,' which uses the sounds of a distorted synthesizer and is a noted departure from the softer sound that was the signature of the duo. 'Save the Life of My Child' also features a sample from their single 'The Sounds of Silence' ... which starts with a bass sound personally set up by Bob Moog himself."

And via Art Garfunkel's website:

"Robert Moog had invented the synthesiser, and was having courses, in New York, for those who wanted to learn about this. And we would go to these classes to learn about this instrument. And we arranged to bring the whole thing into the studio, it’s an enormous contraption. We didn’t know how to use it. We knew it could make these wonderful saw-tooth buzzy sounds. It could do so many different things, but we said let’s use it as a bass instrument, let it be a pretend electric bass, a synthesised bass, and we tried to exploit the buzzy sound of the low end. So, that’s the first time that had ever been used."
