Sequential Prophet VS | Vector Victor!

video upload by Espen Kraft

"The Sequential Prophet VS (Vector Synthesizer) from 1986. A hybrid synthesizer, digital waveforms and analog VCFs & VCAs. 8 voices of polyphony with velocity and after touch.

You make a sound by basically choosing four waveforms, assigning them to the four oscillators (vector points), and then moving the VS's trademark joystick around freely until you hear something pleasing. Movements, or 'vectors' can then be saved, and the sound played back. You can also apply the recorded vector path to another sound altogether and see what happens. *
Separate programmable panned voices and a stereo analog chorus completes the output.
It can sound very lush and smooth while at the same time, crude and digital. Often at the same time. Stellar arpeggiating and everything you do, including moving the joystick, goes out MIDI.

A 33 minute longer version of this video can be accessed through Patreon. In that video I go much more in-depth on the different topics I just browse through in this video.

Waldorf MiniWorks 4 Pole Filter

"The MiniWorks is a stand-alone 4-pole resonant analog filter and modulation module. Use it to create those Daft-Punk filter sweeps on entire drum & rhythm loops! Run any sounds, synthesizers or loops through it and filter them with a truly analog-like VCF (filter) that is not only very flexible but MIDI controllable as well! There are many modulation sources that can be programmed between the extensive VCF, VCA, envelope and LFO sections and these settings can be stored in the (20) user memory patches. The MiniWorks can also be overloaded for a lo-fi crunchy sound too! If it were a true stereo filter it would be perfect (input is mono, output is stereo), but in its price range it is the best analog filter module available"
