ESQ-1 Let's Patch! | Live Sound Design Session | Vintage Hybrid Synth (1986) | Process Walkthrough


video upload by Dr. Synthy Pants

"Thanks to channel supporter ⁨@AlisonWilder⁩ for suggesting this real-time sound design session format for ye ol' gear tubes!

Vintage synths are magical for many reasons... not least is that they were designed with strict hardware limitations that forced the makers to invent clever solutions to difficult problems while keeping costs LOW!

(come to think of it, this may not be unique to vintage synths... I digress.) ::ahem:: Designing through those solutions is kinda like uncovering a time capsule of brilliant thinking and interesting sonic possibilities.

Maybe it IS true! Are we really only limited by our imaginations? Let's find out with Dr. Synthy Pants!"

Programming is similar to the ASM Hydrasynth.

April 30th 2025 Patch Variation #2


video upload by John L Rice

"Just exploring the patch as one tends to do. Here I’m using a second Moon Modular 569 sequencer to control the first one instead of the sequential switch I used in the previous video [posted here]. The result was simpler but still interesting to me. I also changed up the synth voice a bit, using a MegaOhm LPG instead of the SSL tube VCA and processing its output with an Oakley/Krisp1 Flanger."

4/27-30/25 (16th, 145) Metasonix D-2000 + Roland 100m SPH-323 TR606 + EML 400/401 + (in description)


video upload by Cfpp0

"4/27-30/25 (16ths, 145 bpm) Metasonix D-2000 + RYK 185 + Roland System 100m & SPH-323 & TR-606 + ElectroComp EML 400/401 & EML 200 + DSP 808 + 2hp Comp + Soundforce S-LD + Peavey 1300 + Alesis MIDIVERB II + Paia 6740

The pumping drone that sounds like a harmonium is the ElectroComp EML 200 through a 2hp Comp module, with reversed reverb from the Alesis MIDIVERB II and spring reverb from the Paia 6740. The bass pulse is the Metasonix D-2000, triggered by the MFB SEQ-1. The 16th note synth panned center is the Roland System 100m, sequenced by the RYK 185, through the Roland SPH-323 through the Peavey 1300. The 16th note synth line panned left is the EML 400/401. The percussion is the DSP 808 and the Soundforce S-LD, triggered by MFB SEQ-1 and ALM Pamela’s New Workout, which clocks everything."
