DX5 performing The Human League "The Sound of the Crowd"

video upload by DX5

"A simple but interesting song not much known by the early days of The Human League V2 (when the female vocalists joined). If you don't know the original version, check it out. I found it catchy, specially the chorus. So I decided to pick my two analogues plus the JP8000 and give it a try

Gear used:

Left:
Roland MRS2 Promars: single VCO bass (and extra sub bass on backtrack)
Roland JP8000: Cross Mod lead

Right:
Korg Polysix: Sawtooth lead

Backtrack previously recorded, instrument by instrument, on Pro Tools (just drums and the extra sub bass). Original song composed by Phil Oakey, Ian Burden.

Performed here by DX5 Jose Maria Bara"

Sound Design with Groc: DX5 with evolving tremolo

video upload by oddment audio

"Another sound design example illustrating some of Groc's many knobs and functions. Here we start with a sample recorded from a Yamaha DX5 that has a nice portamento. Using Groc's time path we can tweak the portamento timing. We then show how to use the grain filter to create a bit of separation between the notes (in frequency and in the stereo field), and end demonstrating how to create an evolving tremolo effect."
