12/28/25 ARP 1623 + ElectroComp EML 200 + Peavey DDL-3 + CXM 1978

video upload by Cfpp0

"I think this is the first time I sequenced the EML 200 with the ARP 1623. The sequencer is 1 volt per octave and the synthesizer is 1.2 volts per octave, but it still works. Here the gate bus 1 on the ARP is triggering the envelope on the EML, which controls the VCA both VCOs are running through. That signal then runs through the EML spring reverb into the Peavey DDL-3 delay to the Mackie Onyx 1640 mixer, where the dry is panned left and the wet is panned center. Both have stereo reverb blended on the CXM 1978."

Layered Synth Resonance in Cinematic Ambient Space | Geological Survey 2025-12-29 by atnr

video upload by atnr

"This piece was created using the ‪@YamahaSynthsOfficial‬ CS01.
It is a cinematic ambient composition built from layered, hand-played synthesizer tones that resonate and expand over time.

The CS01 is connected to the ‪@ChaseBlissAudio‬ MOOD MKII and blueSky.
On the MOOD MKII, delay is applied and micro-loop textures are generated, while the ‪@strymon‬ blueSky adds spacious reverb.

The performance is shaped in real time by manually adjusting the filter on the CS01 as it is played."
