Best Ambient Synth Shootout #76: Casio VZ-10m - Song 1

Published on Jul 18, 2019 Christian's Sonic Spaces

"This is the first song with the VZ-10m. It's a 16 voice 8-part multitimbral digital synthesizer based on Casio's iPD Phase Distortion Synthesis. This time the outcome of the session was a relaxing, dreamy track.

I used for the recording the following FX:
Pigtronix Echolution 2 Deluxe, GFI System Specular Reverb 2

The signal went through a Presonus StudioLive 16.0.2 into the PC via USB for recording. To create the complete song I created and 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."

Track: "Believe" - 125 BPM synth pop on Zoom ARQ-96, Yamaha EX5, Piano

Published on Jul 17, 2019 Floyd Steinberg

"Here's a track done with the ARQ-96 and the EX5 (using my soundset ;-) ) The ARQ does all the important stuff here, sequencing, playing samples, filter movements, synth&drums. Most of the synth sounds are from the ARQ, pads and lead are from the EX5.

Tried to emulate the Pet Shop Boys' later releases a little bit, to be honest."

Sequential Circuits Prophet 5 Revision 3.3 demo of all 120 factory patches

Published on Jul 17, 2019 Vykaar Tones

"Sequential Circuits Prophet 5 Revision 3.3 demo of all 120 factory patches recorded flat with no equalisation or effects. This one is a virgin without midi - for people who have hands. I have limited keyboard skills but I think you can get a good idea of what is possible with this classic analog from my half an hour of random noodling. This one is in nice cosmetic condition having been stored in a cupboard unused for over twenty years... Originally bought from Rod Argent's keyboard shop in Denmark Street London when I was working there in the 1980s. Now available for sale if anyone is interested - it has been cleaned, tuned and the keys have been re-bushed so it sounds and feels like new."

Sequential Featured Artist Interview with JULIAN POLLACK

You can find the interview on Sequential's website here.

"Julian Pollack/J3PO is a pianist, keyboardist, and producer. Described by Timeout New York as a musician who “deftly balances virtuosity with tenderness,” Julian is an in-demand sideman as well a leader of his own projects. When he was 18 years old, having just moved to New York City from his native California hometown of Berkeley, he was featured on Piano Jazz, hosted by Marianne McPartland, the syndicated NPR radio program. Professionally, Julian has recorded and performed with the likes of Marcus Miller, Michael League (Snarky Puppy), Louis Cato (The Tonight Show), David Binney, The Lesson GK, Matt Chamberlain, Tim LeFebrve, Mike “Maz” Maher (Snarky Puppy), Grace Kelly, Ari Hoenig, Chris Bullock (Snarky Puppy), Nir Felder, Gil Goldstein (Esperanza Spalding), Chase Baird (Antonio Sanchez), Amanda Brown (Adele), Evan “EMAR” Marien, Grace Weber, and many others. He has played an integral role in the band The Lesson GK, which has held the famed “Lesson” Jam Session at Arelene’s Grocery on the Lower East Side of New York every Thursday night for many years. In 2019, Julian (as J3PO) will release his new album Small Plates, a collection of 12 tracks that range from simple lo-fi beats to complex jazztronica future house joints. Inspired by analog synths and sample-based music, the album fuses Julian’s love for today’s contemporary production styles with a nod to the jazz tradition and the spontaneity of live music and improvisation. Julian lives in Los Angeles, California.

We chatted with Julian on how he’s using Sequential’s instruments in his music."

The intro sequence was produced via multitrack-recording using patches from the OB-6 "OB STUDIO" soundset offered here. All sounds were recorded without any external signal processing directly from a DSI OB-6. All effects came from the OB-6.

The OB STUDIO sound set features 100 exciting, OB-orientated analog tones of the highest quality, ready to use in your music! All kinds of excellent pads, arpeggios, basslines, excellent leads, fat synth strings and FX (all the sounds you hear in the video and many more).

By the way, I made another AnalogAudio1 Sound Set for the OB-6, called "OB CLASSICS", see: [posted here]
