"James High, AKA MajorOSC, has been busy the past few months, designing many of the presets you may have recently heard in the new Modal Electronics Cobalt8 videos. He was also hired by Modal to do music for all of their Cobalt launch videos. But he wasn't quite finished...

Side Story:

After handing over the Masters of the 30-second Cobalt demo songs he had finished in the days prior to launch, MajorOSC teamed up with fellow Cobalt sound designer AlphaCodeSynth to work on an extended mix of the official demo song. AlphaCode used his own presets from Cobalt8 and produced an outstanding extended mix. You can have a listen here.

MajorOSC plans to continue releasing commercial patch banks, while also designing factory presets for several other company's upcoming synthesizers, both hardware and software. No further details at this time.

It's very likely you'll be hearing early patch previews on MajorOSC's new patreon page. His tutorials on Hydrasynth have been deep. His studio tips come from over a decade of production on Ableton, Logic and now, exclusively on Bitwig. Other synths he plans to feature in tutorials are the Novation Summit, and the Modal Cobalt8.

MajorOSC hit hard times last month with a series of setbacks related to the impact of the pandemic. He is doing everything possible to keep things running smoothly in the meantime. Head over to patreon.com/majorosc to gain access to the great tutorials, and keep the wheels in motion for this ambitious sound designer by becoming a patron.

Vai 32 : Solina String Ensemble, Binson Echorec B1s, Welson Syntex and Eko Rhythmaker

"Pretty self-explanatory but the Solina String Ensemble is going through the Schulte Compact Phasing and Binson Pre-Mixer and Echorec B1s, the Eko Rhythmaker is going through the Binson as well for tube saturation purposes.

The Welson Syntex is an Italian synth from the mid 70s, a great dual oscillator, analog, monophonic synthesizer with white and pink (!) noise, four footages per oscillator and lots of modulation capabilities.
That Moog ladder filter is on board as well, together with all the footages engaged it can really sound huge and sometimes terrifying.

We make these videos as a showcase for our studio and for curious vintage heads - and for fun.

We don't dilly-dally too much with production and mixing but it can sound pretty good with headphones on."

Sally's Song - Theremin & Voice - Nightmare before Christmas

Carolina Eyck

"Wishing you a happy Halloween with my Theremin & Voice version of Sally’s Song from Tim Burton’s The Nightmare Before Christmas. I’ve always loved this music, and performing it has made me love it even more. I hope you like it as much as I do! Thank you Danny Elfman for composing this beautiful piece!"
