Northern Lights May 10th, 2024

"An incredible lightshow in my own backyard on May 10th, 2024! With the solar activity and possible aurora in the forecast, I thought I might see a little green in the distance, and it started that way, but then I was blown away. Original music featuring sounds of the Polybrute, Opsix and MiniKorg... Enjoy!"

Well Refined Cyberpunk Blade Runner Sci fi Music (Korg Minilogue XD Ambient)

video upload by PARKER

"As the many ideas for my 100th video swept around my head, in the end it just made sense for me to return to my synth roots in order to celebrate just how far I've come as a synthesist, composer, and improviser of music.

This, the Blade Runner style saw waves sound is where it all began for me. Both as a synth player and as a YouTuber. Way back when I first started filming with my XD you can see my cover of the Blade Runner 'Main Theme' by Vangelis. This video is an improvisation using a Blade Runner style patch that I made fresh and you can hear just how much thicker, refined, and better created it is through my few years of experience. Clearly my knowledge in this time has only gotten bigger and what better way to celebrate this than by showing how far I've come since the original video."

The reason I ask you to watch till the end, if you will, is because I feel the patch sounds more realistic like Reverse Tape the more I raise the filter

3 Reasons to Try DAWless

video upload by Jeremy Parker

"Here's my latest DAWless setup for live MIDI sequencing with my hardware synths. It centers around the Retrokits RK008, with my Nord Stage 4, miniKORG 700fs, Moog Minitaur and Elektron Analog Rytm MKII. Although I love using my main DAW, Cockos Reaper, for producing finished music, there are 3 advantages that this DAWless setup has, a couple of which were a little unexpected. And there is a bunch of good original music that came right out of this new setup, so enjoy!

"Lost and Found" feat. Peter MacLean & Mike Tucker

video upload by Jeremy Parker

"This original composition features the incredible Peter MacLean (Maceo Parker) on drums and Mike Tucker (Arturo Sandoval) on tenor saxaphone as special guests. I wrote the core of this tune for the @rhodesmusic Missing Keys contest, as the backing track for James Smith's @YardActBand spoken word. I was spurred on by the challenge to write something specific, and I liked the vibe of what I came up with enough to finish it off as a complete song on its own. So I constructed some melodies, sax solo section and put an arrangement together for this special rendition with Peter and Mike sitting in, doing the magical things that they do.

I used my Rhodes MKIII EK10 which I restored a few years ago: [posted here]

Then I also used the Funk Bass sound from my Korg Opsix, a ring-mod solo lead I made on my miniKORG 700fs, and various sounds from my Arturia Polybrute.

Here's my original entry to the Rhodes Missing Keys contest, so you can hear where it came from:

Nord Stage 4 + RK008 + Analog Rytm = DAWless powerhouse!

video upload by Jeremy Parker

"So I recently picked up a Nord Stage 4 as an upgrade to my Electro 2 from 16 years ago, as my main compact gigging keyboard. What I didn't realize was how powerful the multitimbrality could be when paired with a sequencer, like the Retrokits RK008, which I'm borrowing from my good friend "Cowboy" Ben Alman for our @TheEntireRobot gigs. I fairly quickly set up the sounds on the Nord and then played in some quick parts for an A and B section into the RK008. I'm reserving tracks 1 and 3 on the RK008 for my MiniKorg and Moog Minitaur, once I get the MIDI hooked up for those, so that will be next. I used 6 layers on the Nord, but technically I could have done 7 if I split up the organ into two separate manuals, etc. Anyway, this is a promising rig!"

Knobcon 2023

"My first Knobcon! What took me so long? It's about way more than just modular, and I simply had a great time. People were so nice, whether they were faces to names I knew online, or complete strangers that I just talked to randomly. This isn't a comprehensive view of everything the con has to offer, but it was a glimpse into my experience. So many people to thank and acknowledge below:
