First Ambient Outdoor Jam Of The Year (OxiOne + iPad)

video upload by Perplex On

"I took the chance of one of the first warmer day of the year to visit the woods with the iPad and OxiOne sequencer to summon the spring. Here OxiOne in chord mode is sequencing the iPad loaded with #aparillosynth and the free #wintervoices and #winterpiano sample library for #decentsampler. Hopefully a lot more outdoor jams will happen this year."

02- The Baldwin Fun Machine- Soloists (presets) part 1

video upload by AutomaticGainsay

"Here is a demonstration of the sound and functionality of the presets found on the Baldwin Fun Machine.

The theme music for this demonstration was created entirely with the Baldwin Fun Machine in combination with a small amount of rhythm parts assembled out of GarageBand drum loops."

Also check out the Conn Electric Band from 1974.

Hydra ♒ (ASM Hydrasynth Explorer // Elektron Digitone // Dreadbox Nymphes + Julianna // Roland TR6S)

video upload by 2-Minute Warning

"There are not enough synths/sequencers offering the chord memory function (i.e. memorizing chords and then playing them back with 1 note only) within a scale! As the ASM - Hydrasynth benefits from this feature, I used it to create this track 😉

I then added some FM sequences played by the Elektron - Digitone, a fat analog bass played by the Dreadbox - Nymphes (through the Julianna Chorus/Vibrato pedal) and finally drums/FX by the Roland TR-6S (the kick sound is not a sample, but uses the ACB engine to emulate the 909's kick!)

* Hardware used *
- PADS: Asm - Hydrasynth Explorer
- BELLS, CHIMES: Elektron - Digitone
- BASS: Dreadbox - Nymphes + Walrus Audio - Julianna + The Pill Pedal (triggered byt the TR6S' headphones output)
- DRUMS, FX: Roland - TR-6S
Everything was sequenced by my DAW, except for the DRUMS & FX which were sequenced by the TR6S' internal sequencer & I also used the Digitone's sequencer to do some parameter-lock."

Oberheim's Lost Classic: The OB12 - Synth and Software

video upload by synthandsoftware

"Synth and Software presents: Oberheim's Lost Classic - The OB12. Mark Jenkins profiles a synth that continues to divide opinion after 20 years"

---

Some of the divide comes from the OB12 being a Viscount virtual analog. Viscount licensed the Oberheim name.

Sound demos come in at 5:36. It kind of reminds me of an Akai AX-60 in character more than a vintage Oberheim. I actually own both, and vintage Oberheim. It has a similar edge to the AX-60. The OB-12 does excel at pads and warm strings. It's an intersting synth.
