Analogue Solutions Christmas: Polymath Night (featuring Christine Anderson)

Published on Dec 18, 2013 rezfilter·67 videos

"HAPPY HOLIDAYS FROM ANALOGUE SOLUTIONS!

Here's some holiday synthpop action featuring the Analogue Solutions' Polymath modular synthesizer (all synth sounds heard in the video) as well as the wildly talented and unforgettable Christine Anderson on vocals!

The track was assembled layer by layer using ONLY the Polymath as the sound source. Each track was recorded separately into Logic Pro. From the percussive analogue sequencer loops to the quirky retro leads: each sound was created specifically for use in the "Polymath Night" song and video.

The reverb heard on the instrumentation is from Polymath's own Spring Reverb. However, some slight delay was added on a couple of tracks for effect.

Christine Anderson offers her one of a kind sound and unique abilities as a vocalist, lyricist and overall creative contributor. Her "magic" touch can be seen and felt throughout the production and her fun-loving spirit brings an overflow of charm and fun to this project! Christine is also a star on the piano and an analogue enthusiast!

The musical bed uses all original Polymath sounds and was produced especially for the holidays by Sound of Science.

Benge Releases All EMS Polysynthi Album - Forms 3

"One of the interesting things about creating an album using just one synthesiser is that it puts you in the 'sonic era' of the machine that you are working with. So for this reason I decided to create these tracks with this idea in mind, resulting hopefully in a sound reminiscent of the musical cues found on certain late 1970s soundtrack or library albums. Therefore when listening to this record it would not be inappropriate to try and imagine yourself immersed in a progressive Television Play such as would have been broadcast on on a sunday evening in 1978

This record was made using the EMS Polysynthi electronic polyphonic synthesiser. All sounds were created and played on this single machine, and then recorded directly to multi-track tape in overlaying passes. The only exception to this was the minor addition of monophonic spring reverberation via the EMS VCS3 and some occasional band-pass filtering courtesy of the EMS 8-octave filter bank

DiY Filter Shootout

DiY Filter Shootout from Quijote Cinemusica on Vimeo.

"Finally got the Yusynth EMS style diode ladder filter to work. Decided to do a test with all 4 filters in my current modular setup:
1 - Yusynth Moog Transistor Ladder
2 - Yusynth ARP filter
3 - CGS Steiner Parker filter (lowpass input used)
4 - Yusynth EMS style diode ladder filter

All of them set to close to self oscillation.

Arp and Moog sound very similar to me. The Parker is harsher with less low end (but is state variable) , and the EMS is the most unique sounding I think, and has CV control for resonance. Very happy with all of them :)"

Waldorf miniworks 4 pole analog filter demo w/ Prophet 600 & TR-707

Published on Sep 8, 2013 fessx1·1 video

"Waldorf miniworks 4 pole analog filter demo: SCI Prophet 600 with a single chord played (MIDI from Ableton Live) going into the input of the Waldorf filter, with a Roland TR-707 output going into the trigger input of the Waldorf (and to the sound system mains).

This just scratches the surface of the box's operation, as it has a host of MIDI control and other routing/control features. Bare with me, I'm a bit rusty..."
