Morning routine with OB-6 and Yamaha reface CP - tribute to Phil Glass

"This is my tribute to the music of Philipp Glass - an experiment in sequencing and repeating... ;-)

It was done in 2 layers, so i could overdub the sequence with a grand piano which comes from Yamaha reface CP."

"On patch slot 279 i stored a sequence made out of a random Arp.

Obie is set to monophonic, which means unison on the deck. Sequences running in unison can be transposed with one key pressed. You can use the aftertouch on the same keypress. In addition i use an expression pedal for filter cutoff, and a switchable sustain pedal for sustaining the sequence, thus it will be turned into sustained chords playing.

Model:Samples gets the clock from Obie. With the 'fill' option i switch it to a basic pattern without Hihats and snares etc.

Yamaha reface CP serves as a Piano overdub on top of it all...

The whole session consits of two recordings, first the sequence with additional drums from M:S, second is the piano part only. Video overlaying with the Meltytech freeware, 'Shotcut' video editor."

"summer funk ! in this i took the patch 244/744 from the obie, and play an arrangement with an Arp on the Microfreak, a drum pattern on the Model:Samples and something live in addition on the Yamaha reface CP. Freak and the Yamaha went through my specular tempus, Obie and M:S came out of the box. All mixed in one take on the old Behringer analog Mixer MX802A.

Something that i like on the sequential is the fact that you can switch it into permanent sustain mode while running a sequence or Arp, when the sustain pedal is pressed. I soldered a footswitch thus i can switch it on if needed.

have a nice day-!"

"Showcasing the possibilities of OB-6 doing half-randomly modulated sounds using the second oscillator as LFO. The result is 6 LFO's running in different stages but with the same tempo.
Footage from sweden...last year's holidays."

"In this case i am working with a drum sound of the OBie, well keeping in mind that the Oberheim does not have the snappyest envelopes, but its got an analog overdrive on board, which is also interesting for this kind of effort... quite audible also the onboard phaser of the OBie. Freak adds some ethereal string sounds, mangled through my mxr stereo chorus and the GFI specular tempus. Bit of compression added in post. Footage layered in shotcut (freeware) editor."
