"MPC3 - TRIM and CHOP fast: Cut your loops and one-shots quickly."

video upload by Mark (Little Gray)

MacBeth Elements V1 under the Minimoog.

"Latest project (remastered 1-21-2025) entailing a 1 pass performance, i.e. no overdubbed tracks. However, significant timing and note corrections/enhancements were made to midi tracks prior to generating some of the audio stems; especially the foot pedal bass notes - uggh! Extensive use of Reaper automation envelopes were used to control the sounds in real time.

Additional Synths Used: Cwejman S1 MKII/Voyager (funk bass & more);

Soft-Synths Used: Native Instruments The Giant/Scarbee Classic EP-88s, Sonic Projects OPX Pro-3 (arpegiated sounds), UHe Diva (lead), Arturia Mellotron V, UHe Repro 5, TAL Vocoder, Orange Tree Samples EAG Steel Strings (NI Kontact);

Offward Bound is my little play on words pertaining to major life transitions such as retirement (a popular topic in my sphere these days). It seems to be all about the moving on, i.e. what are you going to do now? But there’s also the lingering moving off components. Bla bla bla. Anyway, moving on…

The intro melody is from my last composition Sploot’n. If I was putting together an album/cd it might be more obvious."

Sorry for the quiet voice in the demo part!

Key features of the synth:
8 independent analog voices
one VCO/VCA/ADSR per voice
ADSR can modulate filter frequency and resonance
multi-mode filter (8 different filter responses)
fully programmable
store/restore patches
programmable control/input section
16x2 LCD
MIDI input
