Can You Hear The Music (Synth Version) - Oppenheimer soundtrack

video upload by Karel Smit

"This is my third Ludwig Goransson cover after the Mandalorian Theme and Redbone by Childish Gambino. Amazing what a versatile musician he is.
This is by far the most popular song of the Oppenheimer soundtrack and rightly so I would say. Transcribing and setting everything up in midi was kind of hellish, considering the 21 tempo changes in the song. I sort of gave up back in August but decided to finish it anyway and happy with the result!

Some notes on the set-up:
I've routed midi tracks to the keystep pro to control my analogue synths, besides also adding a lot of soft synths form the Massive plugin. This was my first dive into the Massive library and I have to say it's amazing! As far as soft synths go, I can imagine you wouldn't need anything else.

- Main melody/Counter Melody: Prophet Rev2 Preset Double Impact (F2P72) with some tweaks + Herby & Bender Massive Preset in 2 different octaves
- High bells (violin plucks in the original): Bellclarinet Massive Preset
- Bass: Mother32 + Analogue Classique 2 Massive Preset
- Chord stabs: Call In The Air Massive Preset
- Low chord stabs final part: Elevator Massive Preset
- High violins final part: Drifter + Splendor Massive Preset
- Lead: Korg Minilogue xd Vreeuw preset with some tweaks + Minibrute 2s + 4 different Massive Presets that are added gradually: Square Crisp, Square Crisp octave higher, Widen, Bursted Flute"

Ambient Music with an Ensoniq Fizmo

video upload by Christian's Sonic Spaces

"This is ambient music with my Ensoniq Fizmo. All patches I created just on the fly during the recording session, and all stems I recorded live into the DAW.

I used for the recording the following FX chain:
Pigtronix Echolution 2 Deluxe - GFI System Specular Reverb 2. Depending on the recorded track some FX are deactivated or tweaked.

The signal went through a Presonus StudioLive 16.0.2 into the PC via USB for recording. To create the complete song I recorded consecutively several stereo tracks. The final song was then mastered with a bit EQ and compression on some tracks and iZotope Ozone on the master track."

I remember when the Fizmo came out many were dissapointed it didn't sound like a virtual analog synth. Now it's a bit of a gem.

"It's Tech Thursday! In these concise videos, we bring up some overlooked and advanced features of our modules.

In this week's Tech Thursday, we unveil a lesser-known application for one of our classic modules, Filter 8. Not as a filter, not as an oscillator, but as a slew limiter.

Simply switch the frequency range to 'low' and patch your pitch CV into Filter 8's input. You can even spice it up by cranking up the resonance!"
