Door #8: The Little Drummer Boy - Synthmas '21

video upload by Synthfluencer

"Ho-Ho-Ho! This is Synthmas '21, the virtual calendar presenting a Christmas carol played by synthesizers - every day from 1st to 24th of December.

The song:
The American Christmas carol was composed by Katherine K. Davis in 1941 titled 'The Carol of the Drum'. It might trace to a czech carol 'Hajej, nynjej'. Countless cover versions were done by famous artists, including Ray Charles, Neil Diamond, Jimi Hendrix and Joan Baez. The song tells the story of a poor boy giving his drum play as a gift to the new born Jesus.

The gear:
The song is played by the Electron Model:Samples. Groove box might be the best description for this sample-based instrument. Samples can be arranged in 6 tracks. The pattern based sequencer can contain up to 4.096 steps (per "project" or song). I divided the songs into 10 different patterns that I switch by hand. Bass drum is a factory sample, snare drum is a sample from a 909. For the bass and lead voice/s I used factory samples of square and sawtooth waves with some filter modulation. On Model:Samples there are some neat sound manipulation features: the drum roll is created with a retrig function. The pitch of a sample can variate trig (= step) -wise, thus melodies can be formed on one and the same track.

The Sound of Genesis - Tonight Tonight Tonight with DX7, Moog Taurus, Linndrum, Simmons

video upload by RetroSound

"The next Genesis video in the series. Tonight Tonight Tonight is one of my favorite Genesis songs too.
Like usual it`s a cover and not original at all. It`s my interpretation of this song. Not a exact copy! When you will hear the original song than click on the original song.

I used The DX7 for the main synth sound and the pads.
The deep bass is the MOOG TAURUS bass pedals.
The drum sound is the Simmons SDS, Linndrum and EII samples."

"The main sound comes form the Késako ex0ex, going to the Késako Reverb.
Voice samples: Késako Player being triggered, going through Variable Slope Filter.
Pinged VCFQ going into Frequency Shifter, sent to WAD in feedback mode.
Sequenced by Scrotum Lab Sequential Switch and Gate Sequencer.

I made a few videos of today's session, the camera was well positioned, but it must have moved before this last one! So I decided to add some footage on it."

"VERY COOL all analog (pre-MIDI) drum machine (CR78-ish) and synth-bass (VERY TB303 sounding!) module. This thing is in super clean condition and includes controller. Also has a great organ drone and rhythmic piano synth, with separate outputs for each (there are also separate synth waveform outputs!)"

Note the video above is just a demo of an MTI 16R in general. It's from Trading Musician in Seattle. Switched ON is in Austin.

"The keyboard that started the trend! When it was released in 1995, the Lead was the first digital synthesizer to (attempt to) emulate analog synthesis. Clavia coined the term "virtual analog", which, while not analog, is desirable in and of itself."
