On Polyrhythms and Poymeters – live patching of Studio No.3 with Francesco Gennari

video upload by Frap Tools

"In today's episode, Francesco Gennari takes us on a true USTA masterclass, using it to weave a texture of four voices and a delay effect. Different pattern lengths and rhythmic structures create a complex and ever-changing harmonic and melodic landscape, but they also control the delay taps, pushing forward the limitations of sequencer-based compositions."

Decadent Atmospheric Pads & Soundscapes on Roland XP-30

video upload by gstormelectro

"Audio + Video by G-Storm Electro c. 2025

The Roland XP-30. Loaded w/ tons of decadent atmospheric pads and soundscape presets. Still relevant after all this time. Yes, yes, I hear using presets = bad. But sometimes you just want to kick back and let the imagination ride and give the left brain much needed rest. Headphones, dim lighting and candles recommended.

Roland Jupiter 6 - Test drive new patches.

video upload by Sebastian Galassi

"As often happens after I have programmed new custom patches, for a specific synthesizer to be used in a project, I create a demo song to check the efficiency of the sounds as a whole.
In this case it is the turn of the Roland Jupiter 6, used for almost all the sounds of the arrangement, to be precise: bass, polysynth, strings and lead. The Bass and Polysynth patch was created in "Split" mode in order to assign the bass sound to the low octave of the keyboard and the polysynth to the high octave, in this way I can play both instruments in a single session.
The sound of the song is very reminiscent of those old Japanese commercials from the 80s, with a bit of an electro-pop and fusion flavour, the choice of the Jupiter 6 (Japanese) couldn't have been more appropriate to achieve that sound ;) For the rhythmic parts, as often happens when I don't use drum machines, I used single drum samples taken from various vinyl records, reprogrammed to create new patterns and then processed with dynamics processors to add dynamics and warmth."
