Analogue Solutions Colossus Assorted Patches, Sounds, and Sequences (Mobile video and audio)

video by Analogue Solutions

"This is a Colossus owner's (@rezfilter ) collection of spontaneous sequences, sounds, and patches created on the Colossus Synthesizer.

The clips in this video were not captured with a high-fidelity audio interface, and in most cases, were recorded with a mobile device for posterity purposes.

They are too fun not to share. ✌️"

Late Night Minimal Colossus Patch

Analogue Solutions

"This was not mult-tracked and was recorded live.

Featured here is the Analogue Solutions Colossus mega-synth performing a minimal electropop sequence. 4 oscillators of 12 were utilised in this patch, along with some white noise for the hi-hats.

Most sounds were kept dry in this patch, with the exception of the lead sound, which was run through 1 of Colossus' spring reverb tanks. 2 filter types were used, including a single 12db filter as well as a 24db filter."

"Analogue Solutions Colossus in mint condition, includes all original pins, cables, as well as a large quantity of tiptop audio stackable CV cables (highly recommended), a Doepfer Dark Link USB-MIDI-CV converter, an Eventide H90 stereo effects unit, legs and a two person bench for the synthesizer.

Works perfectly, sounds AMAZING, incredibly fun to play, this one is barely used!

It cost about 33k to get this into the states. If you don't want some of the extras can discount accordingly.

Analogue Solutions Colossus: Dual Touch Keyboards

Analogue Solutions

"The dual touch keyboards on the Colossus synthesizer are highly versatile and playable, and each features its own sequencer.

Here's one use case of the dual configuration, where the lead is played with the bottom keyboard while the top keyboard controls the pitch of bass section."

Analogue Solutions Colossus and Vintage Synth Jamming

video by

"I connected Colossus to a few vintage synth friends and this was the first little spontaneous live jam. This isn't a mixed track, but a live recorded, improvised, dawless session.

Colossus is sequencing and clocking the other synths (ARP 2600 kick, Roland 100m noise sequence, Pro-One bass) and is providing the remainder of the sound palette.

Colossus loves to interface with other CV gear (Eurorack modular, vintage synths, modern CV synths, CV sequencers and interfaces, etc.) and is a lovely hands-on console, providing you tight musical control of your other gear

I may make another one of these, we'll see. ⚡️

Maxing out the QUARTZ // Analogue Solutions Colossus Modules

video upload by Starsky Carr

"What can you do with one of these? I run through how I created a track using a whole load of functions as a single patch on the Analog Solutions Colossus Quartz. It gave me 5 big juicy tracks on analog beef that worked together as a single entity.

There are 12 VCOs, 8 Filters, 8 Envelopes, 4 VCAs (plus 8 in the filters), 2 noise generators, S&H, random voltage generator, 2 spring reverbs, 2 ring mods, 2 32 step analog sequencers, an oscilloscope, touch control keyboard with 16 step sequencer, 2 31x15 pin matrices, a 10 channel stereo analog mixer, and 2 XY joysticks... ie a fair bit to play with. All analog of course.

SOME THINGS YOU CAN DO WITH MAXIMUS

Standard pad type poly sounds

Unusually Poly Sounds

Monophonic Synth Sounds

A mixture of Mono and Poly Sounds

Filmic / Epic ambience sounds

Rhythmic patterns, with a new sound on each key press.

Although Maximus can do traditional ‘pads’ it’s better suited to more unorthodox poly sounds. It excels also at unusual analogue loops and rhythms when it is played in cyclic mode. Have each voice set to a different type of sounds, and as you cycle through them you get very interesting patterns (melodic or otherwise).

Maximus does not have patch memory - just like the very first polysynths.

Every sound you create will be unique - the first of its kind ever to be produced. Your Maximus will never sound like anybody else’s. It will always be unique and yours.

WHAT IS MAXIMUS?
Tom Carpenter is excited to introduce Maximus, an exciting new mega-polysynth with a design ethos truly from the dawn of analogue synths. It is more than a powerful analogue ‘workstation’ - it is also art, architecture, exquisite studio furniture.

Although we label this as a polysynth - it is so much more. We can’t think of a label to give this synth since its is so much more than that.

When you think of polysynth you think of flat synths with one set of controls that control all voices equally. By giving Maximus independent controls for every voice, you have more freedom to create unique styles of poly sounds impossible on traditional polysynths, whether they are hardware or software. You can dial up ‘traditional’ poly sounds (pads etc) or have something unimaginable different.

Because you can never dial up each voice completely identically, standard polys pads will sounds superbly vintage.

All the voice and modulation circuits are of course 100% analogue. We purposely steered away from digital, aside from of course the digital needed in MIDI and the mini-sequencers.

This synth is purely for those who want it just as it was in the 1970s - but new with parts still in production. For those who want a synth that could have been built in the 70s.

There are no gimmicks - this is pure synthesiser. A huge sound enclosed in a solid metal case wrapped in solid hardwood. No expense has been spared to bring this incredible machine to life.

Synthesisers like this only come around once in a decade, or possibly a generation.

Analogue Solutions Colossus Nighttime Jam

video upload by rezfilter

"What's this then?

Here's a little playing about on the Colossus AS-100 from this past weekend.

The live playing is being actively captured by Colossus's note sequencer on the touch key bed, which is then subsequently started - running in parallel with the 64-note step sequencer.

I believe this performance used 5 of the synth's 12 oscillators, and only 2 of its 8 filters, which in this video are being overdriven hard.

With its vast patching, pinning, modulation, and sequencing capabilities, you can be as simple or as complex as necessary to fit your application.

It never ceases to amaze me."

"Roland MC-4 playing 4 track sequence of Spring Movement of Vivaldi's Four Seasons, programmed using MC-4 Hack, software created by Defective Records Software. https://defectiverecords.com/mc4hack"

The MC-4 is sitting on an Analogue Solutions Colossus no less. Apparently the video is of Jesper Kouthoofd, CEO of Teenage Engineering.

dnigrin is the man behind Defective Records, who brought us the Fauxmo Ensoniq Fizmo editor / librarian, Cyclic sequencer in collaboration with Mutable Instruments, the M-185 software sequencer, and Klee software sequencer. You can find them all in various posts here.

Roland MC-4 Hack made it's first appearance here on MATRIXSYNTH on August 18, 2011.
