WaveBoy -The Voder | The mythical Ensoniq effects - used in new ways

video upload by Espen Kraft

"The Voder effect is a bank of programmable filters that loads into the built-in effects processor of an Ensoniq EPS-16 PLUS or an ASR-10. The filters are multi-band parametric equalizers (EQs) that can be modulated in interesting ways - most notably, they can make a sound talk or sing words!

Like a classic vocoder, the Voder imposes the moving resonance of speech onto any input sound. But while the conventional vocoder uses a live vocal input to derive the control information, the Voder uses the music keyboard or MIDI.Support this channel on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/espenkraft"

Super Hybrid | TAL-Sampler pack Vol.7 | Ready for download

video upload by Espen Kraft

"94 brand new presets for the TAL-sampler. Sounds from the Memorymoog, the MFB Dominion 1 and the Waldorf MicroWaveXT. The perfect trilogy of analog and digital sounds, ready to go into your own music and productions. Patches that sound like old 80s classic sampler presets.

Get the patches here:
https://thepatchbay.io/product/tal-sa...
https://sound7.co.uk/products/tal-sam...

Contact me directly if you want a nice bundled price on multiple packs!

The Memorymoog - Hailed as one of the most epic and lush analog synths ever made. From the early 80s.
MFB Dominion 1 - A monophonic analog synth with a stellar quality in terms of bass, power and programmability.
The Waldorf MicroWaveXT - A sequel of sorts, to the MicroWave and PPG. Wavetable synths, with smoothness and grit, combined.

As I always do with these TAL-sampler packs, I've restricted the use of multi samples within a patch. The TAL-sampler excel at emulating different ADCs (analog to digital converting) from old 80s samplers and as such it's important to have the sampler engine pitch samples down, to get THAT 80s sound.

The Yamaha DX9 in the video is of course just used as a master keyboard.
The drums in the first part of the video are coming from my 'The Ultimate Italo Disco / Synth-Pop Sample Pack'."
