CRUMAR BIT 99 SYNTHESIZER MIDI CONTROLLED

video upload by Davide Micheli

"The video I made is on the BIT 99 electronic synthesizer built by CRUMAR in 1984. The purpose is to show some technical characteristics of the vintage electronic synthesizer.

In particular, I updated the firmware by changing two EPROMs (see the following site: https://www.untergeek.de/shop/crumar-...)

The MIDI controller is the 'Stereoping's Synth Controller'.

In the video I play some patches whose synthsizer parameters are changed in realtime by means of the MIDI Synth Controller.

To emphasize the versatility of the MIDI Synth Controller and the deep 80's sounds of the BIT 99 synthesizer, I recorded a bass sequence on CUBASE and transmitted via MIDI to the BIT 99 synthesizer.

While the sequence is being played by the BIT 99, some parameters of DCOs, VCOs, VCF etc...are edited in realtime. LFOs are modified too.

The video is improvised and I hope it is useful and fun for fans of vintage electronic synthesizers. In some part of video the LINE 6 DL4 MKII Delay is activated."

GRPA4 Synthesizer: music and sounds exploration

video uploads by Davide Micheli

"In this series of videos I used the GRPA4 analog synthesizer to explore and experiment some of the sound possibilities in electronic music and beyond.
The GRPA4 is suitable for creating dynamic and very entangled situations in electronic music and sounds.
To emphasize the rhythm and sequence of sounds created with the GRPA4, I inserted a very simple rhythmic pattern of the Roland TR-8S electronic drums machine synchronized via midi with the GRPA4 by means of CUBASE.
In this first video I inserted some initial vocal notes with the GRP 22 Vocoder.
In the other videos of the series dedicated to the GRPA4 that follow, I continue to explore the sound possibilities of the synthesizer arriving, in the last video of the series, to add a part of an chords amrony using a piano. This demonstrates once again the possibility of using electronic synthesizers together with more traditional instruments with success.

ITALIAN
In questa serie di video ho utilizzato il sintetizzatore analogico GRPA4 per esplorare e sperimentare alcune delle possibilità sonore nella musica elettronica e non solo.
Il GRPA4 è adatto per creare situazioni dinamiche e molto intrecciate nella musica elettronica e nei suoni.
Per enfatizzare il ritmo e la sequenza dei suoni creati con il GRPA4, ho inserito un pattern ritmico molto semplice della drum machine elettronica Roland TR-8S sincronizzato via midi con il GRPA4 tramite CUBASE.
In questo primo video ho inserito alcune note vocali iniziali con il Vocoder GRP 22.
Negli altri video della serie dedicati al GRPA4 che seguono, continuo ad esplorare le possibilità sonore del sintetizzatore arrivando, nell'ultimo video della serie, ad aggiungere una parte di un'armonia di accordi utilizzando un pianoforte. Ciò dimostra ancora una volta la possibilità di utilizzare i sintetizzatori elettronici insieme a strumenti più tradizionali con successo."

Playing with generative melodies on the Teenage Engineering OP-XY

"Messing around with some generative melodies using step components on the OP-XY. Also using the accelerometer to modulate the filter and the punch in effects.

Only had this for a couple weeks but continue to be blown away by its depth."

Just seeing how a fixed Metasonix KV-100 Assblaster! reacts to the ElectroComp EML 400/401. The Assblaster! filter CV input is receiving V4 voltages from the EML 400 (left side)."

One of my favorite tracks from the 80s.
The Power Of Love by Frankie Goes To Hollywood from the album Welcome to the Pleasuredome (1984)
Written by Peter Gill, Mark O’Toole and Holly Johnson. Music arrangement: Anne Dudley
Produced by Trevor Horn (ZTT)

Featured the E-MU Emax SE sampling synthesizer

This cover song series contains my own recreations of my favourite songs from the last 50 years. The original music from which I take inspiration belong to their respective owners. I recreate tracks only for personal passion and to pay homage to these tracks.
My intention is not to create covers that sound exactly like the original (if you want to hear identical sounds, please listen the original). It's more of an inspiration with my sounds from the old synthesizers from the past and of course the great appreciation for the original performers and producers."
