Jam - Novation Summit - Exploring Split Mode #notalking #synthesizer

video upload by HansiLa

"A one-take jam with the Novation Summit in split mode.

Whipping something quick with a latched arp on part B and messing around with notes on part A. There may need to be a longer part 2 as there's some fun to be had with the onboard effects and mod matrix. Despite just scratching the surface, I love how easy and quick it is to drum up great sounds on this synth.

As always, the goal with multiple synths on this channel is to see how each instrument sounds with the other and to improve my key and programming chops. With that in mind... there is minimal processing of these sounds. There's no compression or EQ on this piece."

Jam - Just the Sequential OB-6 from Init #NOTALKING #NOEFFECTS #OB6 #synthesizer

video upload by HansiLa

"Here's a 5ish minute jam on the Sequential OB-6 synth from scratch.

I hit the keys initially on the 009 patch which for some reason is the famous Broken EP that is on my 007, 008 and 009 slots for some reason. I know the patch is popular but someone must've really loved it.

From there, I load up an initialized patch, create a sequence and see where things go.

Hopefully, you enjoy the jam, can see what I'm doing and maybe it inspires some patches/sounds for you to make. There's some adjusting of the amp envelope, LFO, filter and even some X-Mod (still need to take some time to understand the X-mod)."

Starlab Beckons - 6 Synths Through The Strymon Starlab Reverb NO TALKING - DFAM, Nymphes and more

video upload by HansiLa

"Ran some synthesizer sequences through the Strymon Starlab Eurorack reverb module to give an idea how it will affect different pieces of gear.

List of Synths:

1. Moog Slim Phatty
2. Dreadbox Nymphes
3. Moog DFAM
4. Sequential Prophet 5
5. Mutable Instruments Plaits Through SEM Filter (LFO for some additional character)
6. Arturia Minibrute

Special thanks to my go-to for most of the sequencing: my Synthstrom Deluge

As usual, No Talking. Usually there's no effects as well buuuuut... the Starlab is an effect. There's no processing or even panning this time around with the only exception being some levels being dropped to prevent clipping. If you hear fluctuations in volume, it's the actual devices doing that based on parameter changes (wherever you see me turning knobs)."

Swarm of Wasps - Minute ish Jam - NO TALKING NO EFFECTS 7 Layers of the Behringer Wasp

video upload by HansiLa

"Another minute (ish) jam. This one consists of the Behringer Wasp mono synthesizer layered 7 times (8 if you count the duplication and panning of one of the tracks). I had some fun tweaking the high pass filters on a couple patches to create a snare and high hat.

Every sound on this jam is from the Behringer Wasp.

As always there are no effects and the only processing is panning so you can really get a feel how the Wasp sounds with other instruments... in this case, itself.

Enjoy and thanks!"

Budget and Splurge Duet - Oberheim OB-X8 and Korg Volca Bass NO TALKING NO EFFECTS 10 Presets

video upload by HansiLa

"I thought it would be fun to take the least expensive synthesizer I have, the Korg Volca Bass and pair it in a jam with my recent purchase and most expensive synth I have: the Oberheim OB-X8.

I made a few random patches on the Volca and picked 10 random presets on the Oberheim to showcase how they'd interact with each other.

I tend to write my music via midi so any leads I play are rudimentary since I'm not proficient on the keys.

In other words....

if you're looking for some incredible keyboardist ripping on the OB-X8, time to skip this one.

As usual, no talking or effects. Also, minimal processing. For this video, all I did was double the Oberheim tracks and slightly panned each left and right to create some width. You'll still hear some of the Oberheim presets do a neat job of moving along the stereo field."

Sequential Take 5 Tracks - 1 Synth, 5 Layers NO TALKING NO EFFECTS

video upload by HansiLa

"Said goodbye to my Sequential Take 5 by doing a quick jam with it layered multiple times. I made an effort to start most patches initialized while quickly creating something on the fly.

There are no effects so you can see how the synthesizer sounds playing with other gear (in this instance, the Take 5 over and over). There is minimal processing: only panning and doubling tracks to widen stereo field.

Such a great synth. I highly recommend it."

Cherry Audio Elka-X 10 Miscellaneous Presets NO TALKING NO EFFECTS

video upload by HansiLa

"A video showcasing Cherry Audio's Elka-X plugin synthesizer that just came out last week. I thought it would go great with the Stringer from Sonic Projects underneath. The Stringer synth is doubled and panned left and right with the Elka-X panned center. Some of the presets are played using the key section of a Launchpad Mini and others are melodies punched into Ableton and triggered with the Launchpad.

Thanks!"

Minute (ish) Jam - Novation Bass Station 2 NO TALKING NO EFFECTS 6 Layers

video upload by HansiLa Official

"Jamming with the Bass Station 2 synthesizer. Tried to make it as spontaneous as possible with several patches being created on the fly and only doing a 2nd take on a part if I messed something up dramatically.

There are no effects or processing other than panning and layering of some tracks."
