My favorite song from the Electric Light Orchestra from the Album TIME (1981)
Journey to my childhood. ✨
In the early 1980s, my father was lucky to get an AMIGA license album from ELO. It wasn't easy in the GDR. The album was my first contact with synthesizer sounds. The initial spark, so to speak, long before New Wave music aroused my interest. I kept putting the record on and the songs burned into my brain.

I used here the Oberheim OB-Xa Synthesizer for the pads, string sounds and the main synth riff. The bass is made with the Moog Taurus.
And I used the Roland VP-330 Vocoder Plus for the vocoder voices and string/choir sounds . The piano sound is made with the Yamaha Reface CP"

SpaceFields - Space Ambient Machine

video upload by Igor Vasiliev

"Loop-based mangler effect for creating slowly changing rhythmic sound structures in a deep reverb space from any external signal. Great for experimenting and designing ambient and noise backgrounds with rhythmic elements."

via Motion Sound

"The principle of the application is quite simple. It is based on a loop recorder with two loops. When one loop is recorded, the second is played back. When the loop recording stops, there is a smooth transition between them. Three separate outputs can playback the recorded loop with different pitches (speeds), each with its own effects and two automation generators. The mix of these outputs is fed to the convolution reverb. The reverb is packed with a set of long and deep sound spaces that create a blurry and ambient sound.

But the main feature of this application is its well designed parameters that make it easy to experiment with a huge number of sound options using any source material from live instruments to synthesized sound. With just two parameters you can add complex rhythmic structures based on Euclidean rhythms, and easy-to-use automation generators with a randomize option to add variations to the sound, allowing you to modify parameters like an LFO or based on a given rhythm. The convolution reverb has advanced options with which you can change and extend the original reverb spaces.

This app has an easy-to-use user interface, where all the main controls are located on the single screen, and it is ready to use right out of the box, even without additional settings. And at the same time, you can easily change the parameters of the impulse responses from the built-in library to create your own sound.

Even using the randomization button, in almost every case, you will get interesting and various soundscapes and textures. With this option it is very easy to create the basis of new, unique presets, requiring only slight tweaks to some parameters to get impressive results.

The loop recorder can be started and stopped manually or by input signal, can use fixed length or overwrite the loop while recording, and has the option for crossfade between the end and the beginning of the loop. All this makes it convenient for live use as well as when processing recorded material. As an extended option, you can use a special mode in which the application works as a direct effect, without the loop recorder.

SpaceFields works on iPhone and iPad standalone, as an Audio Unit or Inter-App Audio module, and supports Audiobus and Ableton Link. It supports external control of parameters through MIDI (with a midi learn option) and in Audio Unit mode has a built-in, detailed description of all parameters."

"This is an old school Roland drum machine from the 70’s. Has some really nice and warm analog tones. All the drum loops and variations work great. It’s pretty versatile, as the tone knob lets you really emphasize the the low or high end of the kit. The tempo has a very wide range because of the double time switch. You can really hear the early beginnings of the famous 808 kick sound in this machine. Sounds fantastic, and is a great unit to make samples with!"
