Last Video Of The Year - 31/Dec/2022 Synth Track (With Matriarch, MiniFreak, OB-6, BlastBeats, DFAM)

video upload by NGC0 Music

"Last track of 2022, couldn't upload anything pretty much the whole month due to lack of time, but I promised myself I'd put something, even if that'd be the last one of the year.
The Rhodes is going through the Microcosm pedal (Mosaic Algorythm), I hope you like it."

"At the heart of BlastBeats is a vintage FM chip called YMF-262 also known as the OPL3 chip & previously found in computer sound cards of the early 90s.

These chips were notoriously hard to program and were rarely used to their full potential. However, they can produce surprisingly rich beautiful and utterly dirty sounds with a bit of exploring...

By putting so many parameters within easy reach BlastBeasts makes it fun and easy to master the signature sound of the DOS era!

RYTHM & SYNTH
BlastBeats is a 10 voice groove box offering 6 drum voices and 4 synth instruments.

The many faders offer full control over the parameters of the instruments and can be automated and modulated per step ​

Beats and melodies are a pleasure to program thanks to the high quality illuminated buttons"
