SYNTH VS EVIL | Nord Wave 2

video upload by Composer Feliciano

"Evil is an overpowering force, but do is the great synth! This epic electronic music synth jam with a Nord Wave 2 synthesizer repels the spirits of negativity. The battle ends when it ends.

As a music composer / pianist / keyboardist (keyboard player), l always practice in search of new ideas. I would love to create a soundtrack for a video game, animation, or movie. For now, let's just create!

"'Raining Grace' live von Christiane Dehmer (Piano, Synthesizers, Komposition)

✔ Mehr Musik & News von Christiane Dehmer: https://www.christiane-dehmer.de

Ein Instrumentalstück über Dankbarkeit. Das Gute, das einfach so auf uns herab regnet, erfrischt und belebt. Wo man innehält, und sich fragt, ob es wirklich so ist, unverdient und einfach so. Bei allem, was man sich wünscht, ist man positiver gestimmt, wenn man die Augen dafür öffnet, was man Gutes hat.

Live am Blüthner-Flügel, Nord Wave 2, und dem Synthesizer „Waldorf Pulse“ über ein Basspedal."

An instrumental piece about gratitude. The good that just rains down on us refreshes and invigorates. Where you stop and ask yourself if it's really like that, undeserved and just like that. Whatever you want, you'll be more positive when you open your eyes to what's good about you.

Live on the Blüthner grand piano, Nord Wave 2, and the synthesizer “Waldorf Pulse” via a bass pedal."

lush OBERHEIM OB-X8 + Strymon soundscapes

video upload by J3PO

"In this video, we explore ~10 minutes of ethereal textures of the Oberheim OB-X8, combined with two of Strymon's greatest FX pedals: the Big Sky (reverb) and the Time Line (delay).

All of the these presets are from the 'J3PO Oberheim OB-X8 Presets: Future Vintage,' available from www.j3po.net. Of course, the presets themselves do not contain any FX, and you can hear them dry in this video: [posted here]

I have preset libraries available for the Oberheim OB-X8, Prophet 6, Prophet 5/10, Prophet Rev 2, OB-6, Spectrasonic's Omnisphere, Arturia OP-Xa, Softube's Model 72 & 84, XLN's Addictive Keys Mark One and a free bank of 50 sounds for the free VST synth “OB-Xd” — all available on my website. If you're a Nord Stage 3 or Wave 2 user, download my bank from the Nord Keyboards website."

Oberheim Two Voice Pro Semi-Modular Exploration

video upload by J3PO

"The Two-Voice Pro (this one is the Special Edition) is an incredible synthesizer, and concept. Coupled with a CV sequencer, it's amazing what you can create without even touching the keys. Here is an improvisation using the TVP, focusing on the sequencer and its modulation capabilities. While this type of music may not be for everyone, I hope you enjoy the sound of this marvelous instrument!

J3PO OBERHEIM OB-X8 Presets: Future Vintage OFFICIAL SOUNDS DEMO

video upload by J3PO

"In this video, Julian demos the 64 presets included in the "J3PO OB-X8 Presets: Future Vintage" for the Oberheim OB-X8.

You can buy these patches for your OB-X8 from https://www.julianpollack.com/shop/j3...

This demo was recorded dry straight to Pro Tools, with no external FX, save for some light compression and leveling for the purposing of uploading to YouTube. What you hear is what you get! Of course, users are encouraged to add their own FX, such as chorus, reverb, delay etc. to the sounds. Please see my upcoming video '20 minutes of beautiful OB-X8 & Strymon soundscapes' to hear some of these sounds in context.

There are 64 patches in this preset library and they will load to patches 'OB-X: Groups 8-16' on the OB-X8. The introductory sale price is $39 (normally $45).

The library covers a lot of sonic ground, ranging from ultra vintage Oberheim sounds to tones that fit right into contemporary production. The Oberheim palette is the sound that originally got me into synthesizers (the OB-Xa) and it’s such a joy to have a re-issue of one of the world’s most beloved synthesizers. I hope you enjoy these sounds as much as I enjoyed creating them!

I also have patches available for the Prophet 6, Prophet 5/10, Prophet Rev 2, OB-6, Spectrasonic's Omnisphere, Arturia OP-Xa, Softube's Model 72 & 84, XLN's Addictive Keys Mark One and a free bank of 50 sounds for the free VST synth 'OB-Xd' — all available on my website.

"Going over my whole setup briefly. This is probably the most detailed studio tour/setup description I'll do unless I start a patreon or something and need extra videos. I don't mention a lot of the random gear like outboard compressors, EQs, etc just the things I'm most commonly using in my videos. If you have questions feel free to ask in the comments but I won't be writing very long replies so try to keep the questions simple."
