How to make the Rush Tom Sawyer synth sound [No Talking] #synth #rush #tomsawyer #oberheim #teo5
video upload by SynthSoniq
"This video is a tutorial on how to make the Rush Tom Sawyer synth intro sound. It's good to know how to create this patch even if you don't want to play Rush, because it teaches you about filter envelopes, resonance, and the general character of a synth's filter. I like making it on any synth because it gives me a feel for that synth's sound. It's then easy to add some attack to the envelope to turn the patch into a great pad, or decrease the decay to make some cool bass sounds."
From Drone to Heaven | Ambient Techno Jam on Teenage Engineering OP-XY
video upload by Lo-fi Pask
"Creating Ambient Techno on Teenage Engineering OP-XY.
Starting from a distorted drone/pad, this track emerged somewhere between ambient and techno. It was created and performed entirely on the Teenage Engineering OP-XY, with support from the Teenage Engineering TX-6.
I don’t know if the problem is me, or just how easy it is to create something with the OP-XY; but even though I have dozens of half-finished projects ready to go, every time I sit down to record, something inside me says, “let’s make a new track.” That’s exactly how this piece was born: it began with a disturbing pad/drone, joined by ambient textures and an almost techno-like rhythm, before evolving into something more celestial and evocative; yet still keeping the same steady pulse throughout.
Composed, mixed, and mastered entirely on the OP-XY; I used the TX-6 for a few extra effects and to record the performance. I built the scenes but chose to trigger them manually rather than automate them, so I could introduce pauses and transitions exactly where they felt right.
Thanks for watching, I hope you enjoy it."
