KadImprov #22 Ambient Soundscape | 80's vibe-ProphetRev2 | Mother32 | Syntrx | Moogerfooger

video upload by KadiMusic

"Title: 'Wandering in a Daydream'

To create the dreamy and weightless atmosphere I wanted in my soundscape, I started by creating a melody on the Moog Mother-32 and sending the CV to my Syntrx. I used Oscillator 1 on the Syntrx to create an airy arpeggio-like sound sending it through the reverb of the Syntrx, while Oscillator 2 was used as a distortion effect.

Once I had the foundation of the soundscape, I added the #Moogerfooger with additional subtle accents that gave the #soundscape more character. The Prophet Rev2 was the final piece of the puzzle, adding the chords as finishing touches to the sounds of the Mother-32 and #Syntrx.
Also I tried out the Chow Tape Model vst on the Prophet to give it an 80's lo-fi vibe.

Overall, I was pleased to explore some sounds with the Moogerfooger and to create an interesting routing on the Syntrx for this track.
Thanks for watching and thanks for your support! 🙂👋"

Roland VP-9000 Sample Formant Shaping

The Daydream Sound

"Shaping your samples is a great way to get the most tonality and textures quickly out of one sample. With formant shaping you’re able to pull several textural qualities out of your audio in real-time. This can them be used in your music or sound design."

What about the MicroGranny (MG2)?

The Daydream Sound

"Do I use the micoGranny Granular Sampler in my Music? I do but very rarely on it’s own. Here’s the secret to how I use the MG2 in my studio. I hook it up to an FX unit (the Ensoniq ASRX) I chain it up to an analog filter (the Q150 Synthesizers.com Transistor Ladder Filter) and I keep it moving!

The Octatrack is a Midlife Crisis Sampler

The Daydream Sound

"Is the Octatrack Still Relevant in 2020? Or is it just for the old heads? It’s got all the knobs and buttons. The kind things old-school producers like. I think physical detail appeals to middle aged artists. Remember G.I. Joe action figures. They had the most detail ever! So many features packed into one toy. Guess what? That’s exactly what the Octatrack is! In this video we use the sampling engine of the #Elektron #Octatrack to transform outdoor sounds into…. well something. Let’s see what we get!
