Tweaking: Nord Lead A1 (NO TALKING)

video by SYNTHWAY

"Just having fun while making some different sounds with the different oscillator configurations on the Nord Lead A1. You can get the overall feeling of how it sounds and how easy it is to achieve different sounds. No, it's not as deep as the Nord Lead 4, but I made the jump and use it as my only polysynth besides what I have ITB."

Demo Boss DC-2W + Nord Lead A1 [NO TALKING]

video upload by SYNTHWAY

"Just some random improvisations and tweaking sounds coupled with the marvelous DC-2 Waza from Boss. Up to 7 minutes I was using it in SDD-320 mode, and after that a bit of the original DC-2 mode. I go swtiching all the modes (1-2-3-4 and combinations of them) progressively throughout the whole demo."

Demo Boss CE-2W + Nord Lead A1 [NO TALKING]

video upload by SYNTHWAY

"On the same day I've used both pedals (CE-2W and DC-2W) and the Nord A1. The only real difference is that the DC-2W is true stereo, meaning that I could record a single stereo track. For the CE-2W you get one side with the effect, the other without, so the best way to combine its own sound is to pan a bit of each track (in this case, one is 12R the other 12L).

It is a marvelous pedal, with a more subtle CE-2 mode, a medium CE-1 mode, and a vibrato option, that coupled with synthesizers sounds great.

Feel free to ask me anything... I'll answer the best I can."

BURG - Froesen In Time (Subsequent 37, novation peak, Nord Lead A1)

Published on Jan 7, 2019

"If you like my stuff please support me on http://music.ollilab.com/ and https://www.patreon.com/theBURG

#Subsequent37 #NovationPeak #BerlinSchool

Happy 2019 !!

This was just one of those things that happened as a happy accident, I had a 8 step sequence in my head for some time due to overconsumption of TD and wanted to just get it out of my head into a sequencer. While programming it, I was like.. what the heck, let's record something. :)

The KORG grandstage has a decent string machine emulation / sample which i use on the intro. Also from the grandstage but recorded in the 720 stereo looper is a Rhodes piano loop.

NLA1 does bass pads + a loop I recorded into the ditto, a rotary/tremolo and LFO modulated slow arpeggio thing. They both pass through the empress reverb which uses the Ghost algorithm, heavy on modulation.

The peak does 8 note sequence programmed using the Keystep. Some internal minor modulation on filters, with an LFO plus Envelopes. Internal peak FX are only used on this sound.

Sub 37 does the most complex things on this one, 3 distinct variations on one and the same patch.

The first one is vanilla lead with some filter drive, with no modulation 2VCO + very little sub.

Second part is that I also do a super fast arpeggio which i turn on just to add some extra spice toward mid track, using the same sound.

Lastly, I turn up the EG on the filter on which I have set the filter envelope looping so i can adjust the speed of the loops with the attack knob to create a pingpong effect you hear at the end. While playing with the attack turned up in the beginning it sort of sounds like a normal LFO.

I hope you like this one!

BooOooM!

BURG - severance (digitakt, analog four, modular, KORG ms-20, volca, blofeld)

Published on Oct 30, 2017 ollilaboratories

"If you like my stuff please support me on http://music.ollilab.com/ and https://www.patreon.com/theBURG

This is my first proper recorded jam using the Elektron digitakt. It is handling kickdrum, snare, reverse hh and the LOW bass + also sequencing the waldorf blofeld over MIDI.

Also introducing the Noise Engineering BIA, doing some percussion sequenced by the BSP.

This track was a bit of a struggle, trying to get so many new elements into place.. especially the digitakt, so I decided to take it slow and just do some minor things, and it feels like it went well.

The modular has a pretty complex patch, braids does the intro melody (FOLD), rings does some heavily modulated melodies, BIA does percussion and the morphagene does an extremely chopped up vocal sample + string pattern (layered) as a percussive thingy.... patched it through VCA, + maths controlling CV, and sequenced by the BSP .. good fun. :)

ms-20 does a one VCO lead sound + the el capistan delay, analog four adds some percussive sequencing, stabs + that it sequences the 0 coast over CV.

nord lead A1, stacked strings using the swell pedal to pull in some subtle fifths strings, VCF modulated by internal LFO's for some movements.

volca bass and keys, well, they do their stuff :)

Gear used: ms-20 mini, volca bass, keys, elektron digitakt, analog four, roland tr-8, yamaha reface CP, nord lead A1, waldorf blofeld, makenoise 0-coast

Modular rack: https://www.modulargrid.net/e/racks/v...

FX, ms-70 CDR on volca keys and bass, el capistan on ms-20, bluesky, particle and CSIDMAN on reface, timeline and eventide on blofeld, EQD transmisser, space spiral, keeley caverns, RE_20 on modular.

hope you will enjoy it!

"If you like my stuff, please support me on http://music.ollilab.com

Time for the ninth album movement, its getting closer toward the 15 I want to make before I start cutting down the short list.

So, i heard some bagpipes in my head when playing the main melody.. and I wanted build and infuse the track with this idea/feel. .. the NLA1 takes care of the main pads, and also one of the melody sounds.. + a sequence w the SQ-1. (damn that synth is versatile). The ms.20 gets to play the main lead.. and as you all have seen the solidgoldfx electroman is the secret sauce delay im using.

Im back on the volcas too, the novation has found itself in the position which works for me, and which was the main idea.. as scrapbook and sequencer. this time it handles the bass on one of the volcas. No samples on this one... just pure melody and massive PADs to out that dreamy melody in place.. oh yeah, TR8 does 707 drums for the first time on the album tracks.. :)

And as always.. its a bit long :) but hey.. you said you liked that.. haha :D Boom, I hope you can enjoy this one too!

Gear Used: KORG volca sample, keys, bass x2, KORG ms-20, Roland Aira TR-8, System-1, Roland boutique JX03, Nord Lead A1, arturia microbrute, SQ-1, TB-3, novation circuit (sequencer only)
