Emulator II noodling - Oct 2013

Published on Oct 14, 2013 SynthMania·272 videos

"A quick demo of one of my 'vintage sampler' setups in my currently very messy studio. The E-mu Emulator II is a classic '80s machine, and one of my favorite samplers. With a Macintosh SE and a Macintosh Classic running Sound Designer. Rhythms by LinnDrum. The effects are Lexicon model 200 reverb and AMS DMX15-80S delay. Tracked on a 1984 Soundcraft Series 1600 24ch. mixing console."

Minimoog, Memorymoog, LinnDrum 3

"Third live jam with the Moogs and Linn. This is in Ambient / relaxed style, although it's still "majestic" because, frankly, the Memorymoog just always sounds huge."

"Another, more "hypnotic" and laidback live jam on Minimoog, Memorymoog and Linndrum. My silly camera decided to stop recording the video after 10 seconds, so I placed a photo of the gear. Listen to this one in low lights ;-)"

'80s ditty with Emulator II, DX7, and LinnDrum

Published on Sep 2, 2013 SynthMania·260 videos

"An '80s-style ditty showcasing a few classic sounds of three of the most iconic instruments of that era: Emulator II, DX7, and LinnDrum.
Emulator II: Marcato Strings, Choir, Strings Plus
DX7: Bass, Tubular Bells, Marimba
LinnDrum: drum & percussion patterns
UNFORTUNATELY I inadvertently left an aux open on the mixer and the LinnDrum spilled on the tracks, causing the flanging effect :-( but it's still listenable. I will re-upload a better version when I have a chance."

DW 8000, DX7 and LinnDrum ditty 2

Published on Jun 10, 2013 SynthMania·249 videos

"Another quick ditty on DW-8000, DX7, and LinnDrum. This time is a slower, melancholic 16-beat with hypnotic arpeggio from the DW-8000, using its on-board DDL, a syn string pad also from the DW-8000, a powerful, bright FM bass from the DX7, and a solid LinnDrum beat.
Korg DW-8000: arpeggio, syn strings (patches factory A - 56 Harp and 31 Low Strings- both edited)
Yamaha DX7: FM bass (patch "*BASS-OBXA")
LinnDrum: 16 bar slow pattern"

DW-8000, DX7 and LinnDrum ditty

Published on Jun 7, 2013 SynthMania·248 videos

"A few people have asked for more DW-8000 videos, so here you go. It's just a quick, live improvisation with a nice DW-8000 resonant pad with slow LFO detuning, the standard DX bass, and a LinnDrum pattern."
