Tangerine Dream's "Vengeance" from Sorcerer (1977) on the Baloran The River synthesizer

Published on Mar 3, 2019 Sean Christopher - Evoking Emotion Through Music

"I thought I'd see if the Baloran The River synth was good with vintage sounds, and IMO it definitely delivered. 'Vengeance' is a track by Tangerine Dream on the 1977 film, Sorcerer.

Sorcerer is a 1977 American thriller film directed and produced by William Friedkin and starring Roy Scheider, Bruno Cremer, Francisco Rabal, and Amidou. The second adaptation of Georges Arnaud's 1950 French novel Le Salaire de la peur. The plot depicts four outcasts from varied backgrounds meeting in a South American village, where they are assigned to transport cargoes of aged, poorly kept dynamite that is so unstable that it is 'sweating' its dangerous basic ingredient, nitroglycerin.

Hopefully you enjoyed this track as much as I had making it."

MOOG The Source Vs BALORAN The River

Published on Oct 15, 2019 Laurent Lecatelier

"Comparaison entre le MOOG The Source et The River (numéro 00072 presque prêt à partir, le clavier n'est pas fixé :D :D) . J'ai reprogrammé sur The River les 15 patchs du manuel de l'utilisateur MOOG en essayant d'être le plus proche possible ;)

Pour le son SyntheVox (12), rien à faire, ce n'est pas possible, la molette, les plages de réglages sont différentes. Pour le Trill (10), je suis content du résultat même si le range de la modulation ne permet pas l'octave. Tous les sons avce le noise sont très différents car je n'utilise pas la puce du The Source comme générateur de bruit."

Published on Feb 18, 2019

"'Eternal Light' is a piece I just wrote for my ne The River synthesizer. No external FX were used- all The River. The piece was put together via multi-tracks using Steinberg's Cubase 10 Pro."

Beverly Hills Cop Axel F cover performed on analog & digital synths by Baloran, Sequential, & Yamaha

Sean Christopher Evoking Emotion with Synthesizers

"You know I just HAD to do a cover of this classic synth awesomeness, "Axel F" by the legendary Harold Faltermeyer.

The Baloran the River analog synth was used for the very memorable intro lead line, and the Sequential Pro 3 analog synth was used for the iconic bass line. For the tracks Yamaha DX7 parts I used the FM section of the Yamaha Montage....which is essentially a super DX7. Finally, for the percussion I used Aly James Labs awesome LM-1 which faithfully IMO recreated the Linn Drum LM-2 pretty spot-on that was originally used in the track."

River 2 Arps & 1 Pad [Eight Voice Polyphonic Moog Source]

Published on Jan 26, 2019 coyotesynth

"The River by Baloran is an 8 voice analog polysynth. A voice Card is a Moog Source clone.

The River is up to 4 parts multitimbral. In this example, 2 parts play 2 different arp pattern, while a 3rd one plays a pad. Analog TriChorus is also used, and a delay FX.

All sounds are directly recorded from The River. No outboard FX have been used. No DAW FX added. This is pure River sound."

Baloran The River - Quick Jam

video upload by Jack Z

"This synthesizer gives me chills every time I sit down with it... and that is pretty much every single day! The River is a discrete fully analog polyphonic synthesizer designed and produced by a single frenchman around 2016 - 2018. It is a love letter to the MOOG SOURCE - featuring 8 discrete voice cards identical in design to those in the Source. That's right, it is an 8 voice polyphonic Moog Source with a 3 stage analog BBD chorus and delay built in. NO other polysynth (vintage or modern) can compare to this instrument sonically in terms of raw analog power & HEFT. Very few were produced, but I don't know the exact figure. More production runs had been planned, but then: COVID.

THERE IS ZERO EQ/COMPRESSION/DYNAMICS on this, just direct audio straight into Ableton.

This is a jam, I am not a pro keyboardist :)

Enjoy!"
