Cre8audio East Beast Overlays by OVERSYNTH

"Whitephase" & "Blackphase" overlays for the Cre8Audio EastBeast.

Via OVERSYNTH

"This is an aftermarket overlay that you place over the front panel faceplate of your Cre8audio East Beast synthesizer.

The overlay's artwork uses high contrast graphics and large fonts for easy viewing in low light.

To install the overlay, simply remove all the front panel knobs from your synthesizer, then remove the backing from the included adhesive tabs on the underside of the overlay. Place the overlay over your synthesizer and press down to make sure the adhesive is holding. The adhesive is low-tack to allow for easy removel. Next, re-install all of the knobs.

The overlay is printed on a highly durable, waterproof, and 100% recyclable polyester sheet (not vinyl, fiber, or plant-based). The matte finish is designed to minimize reflections from ambient light for maximum readability.

If the overlay becomes dirty, we recommend gently wiping it down with a soft cloth that is dry or slightly moistened with water. We do not recommend cleaning the overlay with isopropyl alcohol as this may damage the artwork. Based on our testing, the following substances will severely damage the artwork if left on the surface for an extended period of time: tea tree oil, acetone, nail polish remover, bleach, household cleaners, and hand sanitizer.

Our products are custom manufactured in small batches based on customer demand.

This product is made in the USA and ships from Portland, Oregon. International customers are responsible for paying all import duty and custom clearance fees for their country.

This is an aftermarket product. The product includes the overlay only and does not include a Cre8audio East Beast synthesizer. Oversynth is in no way affiliated with Cre8audio."

DX5 Playing P. Lion "Happy Children"

video upload by DX5

"One of the finest italo dance songs ever. There are some variations intentionally done (i.e: the sequence starting at 00:36 or the second bar on the main riff (01:00, 01:08, 01:50, 01:59 etc) acting as watermark :-).

Gear used:
Left: Roland JP8000
Kurzweil PC1x
Right: Roland JX-8P (Square main lead)

Backtrack previously recorded from scratch, instrument by instrument, with my own synthesized sounds, including a Simmons SDS8 drum module for drums and Roland Promars for bass.

Original song composed by Paolo Pelandi.

Performed here by DX5 Jose María Bara."

The FDR Drive - a ride along the eastern edge of Manhattan with original music

video upload by CatSynth TV

"A ride along the eastern edge of Manhattan via the FDR Drive. We start at Third Avenue in the Bronx, cross the Third Avenue Bridge into Manhattan and merge onto the Harlem River Drive. At the RFK (Triboro) Bridge, the Harlem River Drive becomes the FDR Drive, which we follow to lower Manhattan until the Brooklyn Bridge. Along the way, we observe the skyline on either side of the East River, and pass several notable landmarks.
