Ambient Song - ARP Odyssey - Volca FM

Published on Sep 12, 2017 Alba Ecstasy

"I can't get enough of the ARP Odyssey. I was testing it on mixes with my other synths and this came up when I introduced the Volca FM. Some drums from the Roland JD-Xi (works very good together - not so much the synths from it - but kudos for the System-1 - will come soon a demo with it too). Reverb from Clouds (for ARP) and Behringer RV600 (for Volca FM).

RA Tech: Melodic Pads on the D-05

Published on Sep 12, 2017 Resident Advisor

"Roland has announced the next synth in its Boutique range, the D-05.

It's based on the D-50, which was Roland's flagship digital synthesiser in the late '80s and early '90s. It was competing against Yamaha's DX7, which used a synthesis technique called frequency modulation to create lifelike sounds. The D-50, however, used 8-bit samples for the attack portion of the sound, while linear arithmetic synthesis generated the sustain part. This allows it to generate complex, morphing patches not possible on analogue synthesisers.

The D-05 recreates the original circuitry using Digital Circuit Behaviour technology and contains the signature joystick, which is used to blend between different layers of a sound. There's also built in chorus, reverb, delay and EQ effects in addition to a 64-step polyphonic sequencer. It runs off USB power or batteries and functions as a soundcard when connected to a computer. Sweetwater has listed a pre-order price of $345."

DreamsOfWires - Korg Arp Odyssey live improv w/ Arpeggist

Published on Sep 11, 2017 DreamsOfWires

"Just playing around with some old patterns from my other Arpeggist video - The Odyssey is receiving MIDI from Virsyn's Arpeggist and tweaked in realtime. The iPad is out of shot (on my lap!), but I'm triggering and transposing the two patterns manually, whilst recording the output into AUM. I've a habit of using a ton of reverb and syncopated delays, so I thought this time I'd just use a bit of reverb to allow people to hear the Odyssey more clearly.

I'm using an iConnectAUDIO4+ to handle audio and MIDI duties, and reverb is from Virsyn's AudioReverb.
Filmed with a LUMIX GX7 and an iPhone SE. I also added some of my gameplay footage from Half Life 2 as it seemed to fit the music better than the usual views out of train windows :P

Lavender (Hugo Paris) is an electronic musician and sound artist based in Portland, United States. His forward-thinking and ethereal pieces echo the work of artists like Four Tet, Tim Hecker and Alessandro Cortini while his dance tracks have the dancefloor-driving energy known to disco legend Patrick Cowley and early Depeche Mode’s new wave.

Lavender’s first album Mystique Youth came out August 2015 on Jacktone Records and made it into SF Weekly ’s top 15 Bay Area albums of the year. Lavender's follow up album Horizons Beneath the Surface, abbreviated HBTS, came out May 9th 2016 on Jacktone Records. HBTS was supported by multiple tours along the US west Coast and Europe throughout 2016/17. The album received stellar reviews from XLR8R, That’s Deck, aQuarius recOrds and SF Weekly. HBTS made it into KALX Radio's Best Albums of 2016 list.

While Lavender’s studio work embodies the aesthetics of minimalism and the cinematic landscapes of post rock, his intricate audio-visual performances can range from voluptuous soundscapes to dance-floor bangers with Italo Disco overtones. Lavender’s latest scoring work can be heard on full-length movie The Modern Jungle (La Selva Negra), which received multiple nominations including the honorable mention from Slamdance Film Festival.

Hi everyone, I am continuing my work on showing the combinations of my synths and my effect pedals just for fun and for you guys to get an idea on how they pair together and what you can do with them. I hope you like it :)

This time it is a long video, sorry for the blackouts in the middle of it, my camera just won't keep recording for more than a few minutes straight for some reason unknown to me!

Also, I haven't tweaked the El Capistan that much in that video, haha... I should have but I ended up only tweaking the synths because I get too much into them, just wanna play! Tell me if you want to see/hear something different than that. I am kinda lazy do do scripts for my videos but if you request it, I will do it.


Oh, the El Cap is full wet but I am setting it up as an Aux send on my DAW (BeatMaker3 on iPad), if you find it weird that the mix is all the way up to 100% on the pedal."
