Redshift 6 - From Reset To Preset: Gliding Stereo Reso-pad

video upload by Supercritical Synthesizers

"On our new From Reset To Preset series, we noodle sounds from scratch, and showcase our new Redshift 6 synthesizer in use.

In the first video, we build a gliding stereo reso-pad using the modulation grid's quick-assign method for the modulations.

We hope you enjoy this one and see you in the next video."

"This is a very rare Elka Rhapsody 610 "Acousta" version on sale.

Rare cream/brown wood finish.

Fully Serviced by pro tecnician.

For me It sounds a little better then the "common" Rhapsody 610..a little bit punchy and gritty on the bass freq.

I had made a demo video of the Rhapsody 610" [previously posted here]
