mtl.asm Count to 5 Experiments 01 - Microwave XT, Spitfire Tundra
video by Mason Chrysler
"So, I decided it was time to begin making my own Experiments series with the wondrous Count To 5 by the Montreal Assembly. This pedal is running the Nightly firmware. For the music in this video, I ran the short demo track I created for my last video (with the Microwave XT & Spitfire Tundra) through the CT5 in mode 2, 100% wet, twisted the bottom 3 knobs at times, and had an expression pedal hooked up as well with the E switch down. There are other worlds inside of this pedal. I love it!
Also, I've recently been having some fun experimenting in making motion loops in Photoshop for my videos. This is my favourite so far.
Thanks for stopping by!

"Classic Synth Module from the early
90s (circa 93-94) Aimed at the dance music scene around then, it features many
classic sampled and synthesised sounds with everything from Moogs, Oberheims,
303s, to more unusual and estoeric sounds and samples.
The synthesis engine is called M.A.S.S. meaning it combines rom pcm wave forms with FM and additive synthesis, the idea being you combine these raw 'sub patches' into a bigger 4-voice driven sound.
There is also a multi mode where you can use these basic patches as well as full General Midi compatability.
There's each sound has an applible resonant filter. There's also a reasonable amount of onboard effects and given the era the machine came from they're relatively low noise. The rom/voice set can be expanded by fitting either the T.R.E. (Quasimidi Technox sound set) or Hardcore rom carts.
The machine is a classic of it's time and if you're after that more digital slightly lo-fi sound of the early 90s the is the machine for you."

"Never made in large numbers, the Sequential Prophet VS is now a hugely collectable synthesizer. Made in San Jose, California in 1987 (s/n 0165), the VS was Sequentials last model before the company folded. Most of the R & D team ended up in Japan, helping Korg to produce the famous Wavestation....and they sold thousands of those.....
It all started in 1985, with Chris Meyer dreaming up the concept of Vector Synthesis. Initially tagged Prophet 2400, the name VS was eventually adopted. Basically, "morphing" among FOUR separate digital waveforms, with the 360* joystick, allows the creation of new patches (100 memories on board). There are 95 resident/32 user waveforms on board.....derived from 4 oscillators being shaped by Curtis analogue filters (but digitally controlled) ~ 4-pole lowpass, using 8-voice polyphony (+split/dual) ~ with twin chorus + agile stereo routing, all being sounded with a 5-octave velocity/aftertouch keyboard. As a bonus, there is also a versatile arpeggiator. Cosmetically, this synth is a bonny sight to behold, with lots of attractive blue switches and pleasing livery.
This particular VS (rev 1.2) has had a full service recently by a top London tech. New OLED blue display has been installed, and new buttons & switches. The keys are nigh perfect, with velocity fully working, and the channel aftertouch triggering every time. KKGB rate this beauty at 9/10. See pix showing eeny dinks on a cheek corner...thats about all the damage......"

Erica Synths DB-01: 12 patching ideas
video by Richard DeHove
"A look at some of the obvious and not so obvious things you can do to get a variety of sounds. Especially important is the use of LFO phase shifting, something which was introduced in firmware 1.07. It has a dramatic effect on the sound in both note reset mode and pattern sync. At the end of the video I get in some random noodlings just for fun.
0:00 Filter tracking
0:53 Filter envelope click
1:26 Random filter modulation
2:14 Vibrato
3:10 LFO filter phase
