Fantasy Soundtracks Ep:1 - 'Phase IV'

Published on May 31, 2020 DreamsOfWires

"First of a series of simple patches and recordings inspired by some of my favourite vintage sci-fi and horror from the cinema and TV. I thought it'd be a fun idea to see what I can do with a simple setup, perhaps ony 2 analog synth voices, and modest digital effects. The synthesizer soundtracks of the 70's and early 80's were often very simple, spartan compositions, which is what made them special I think.

In this instance I'm using my AJH Synth Eurorack modular synth, with the Precision Voltages being used as a kind of faux keyboard to shift the pitches of the two voices melodically. FX are Dubstation 2 Delay and EOS2 Reverb.

The film 'Phase IV' is a particulary unique sci-fi film from 1974 that I would recommend seeing. It has some excellent macro filming, a strong atmosphere, and even some synth music in the soundtrack. I didn't use any footage of the 'ants' because they really need to be seen in the context of the film to be appreciated.

Here are some patch notes
-------------------------
- I have a sequence programmed on the BSP, which is sequencing the O Coast.
- The O Coast is going into VCV Rack through the Chronoblob 2 and Plateau.
- The BSP is also triggering the Basimilus, which is going through the LedRover for extra character when needed.
- There's another copy of the Basimilus going through a HP filter and to the Mimeophon.
- I've recorded a wooden percussion frog into the Arbhar foe some texture.
- I also recorded the new cello instrument from Felt Instruments into Magneto in Sample mode, and this is going through Flame from Vult for distortion.
- I have a recording of the Basimilus on Morphagene, which plays it also in reverse.
- I also recorded the piano from Felt Instruments into Nebulae, which is playing it slower and it goes also through the Disting for reverb.
- I'm using the Microcell in Granular mode, and I recorded myself with a mic into it.

AKAI AX-80 vintage Synthesizer QUICK DEMO, no effects

Published on May 31, 2020 Mindburner

"Some say the AKAI AX-80 is thin and uninspiring. Well maybe some of the presets are but the synth can be dark and moody and powerful with 3 LFO's

This one has the Tauntek OS which improves the use of the filter in that you don't have to re trigger the keys to hear any changes you make. It still steps a bit but I don't mind this at all

For some reason, these synths seem to get treated pretty badly and abused. Broken membranes, bricks dropped on them and cigarette burns galore. This one was save a few years ago. I have just finished calibrating it, which improved the synth greatly.

I like them so much I have 2

Must get an AX-60"
