Synthesizers.com & ASR 10 Practice Session

Published on Jan 17, 2019 The Daydream Sound

"Took about 3 years to commit to the Synthesizers.com Modular synthesizer. I didn’t really know about 5U modular systems as all the rave back then was (and continues to be) around eurorack modular instruments. To be transparent the purchasing experience wasn’t the best. Even though I bought it new, I received it in the mail in less than stellar condition. I was pretty cheesed at the time about that.

Aside from that it’s a great sounding synth. There’s only one oscillator in use in the video which is being sent to and modulated by the ladder filter module and shaped by a single envelope generator. As far as modular goes; I always wanted a straight ahead traditional analog synthesizer and this fits the bill to a tee. I think if you’re beginning as a synthesizer or sampler enthusiast an analog modular synthesizer is a great instrument to work on to understand the principles of synthesis and how to bend sounds in a way that are artistically pleasing

Anyway onto other things. This is a practice session with the Ensoniq ASR 10 as the sequencer, FX and percussion sampler and the Synthesizer.com modular system on the……. well……. on the analog stuff."

Creating Individual FX on the Ensoniq ASR-10

Published on Jan 8, 2014 TheDaydreamSound·92 videos

"A video describing how to add individual effects to each track on the Ensoinq ASR-10 & EPS 16+.

PLEASE BE ADVISED
The process described in this video is a handy way of storing your favorite effect settings with your saved samples. It is not possible to sequence effectively using this technique, as the effects engine will adopt the INSTRUMENT EFFECT for the current selected track making it the main effect for all active tracks in the ASR-10.

If you would like to have individual effects on each instrument in a sequence, you can use the alternative methods described in the latter part of this video. In addition to these alternatives, you can also use a global BANK EFFECT to assign variations of that global effect to the BUS OUPUTS of each instrument. Although using a global BANK EFFECT is limited to the parameters of the selected effect, it is still a useful way to add non-destructive diversity to your music.

Akai S-950 & SP-1200 Classic Hip-Hop Combination

Published on Jul 16, 2019 The Daydream Sound

"The Akai S-950 Operational Manual. https://www.thedaydreamsound.com/samp... The Akai S-950 connected with a SP-1200 is a classic Hip-Hop music production combination. Not only do they work well together. These two samplers also compliment each other sonically.

The Akai S-950 is the undisputed workhorse of the vintage hardware sampler realm. It’s got everything you’ll need to cover all the basics of sampling really well. Not only that! It’s got a whole lot of tricks up it’s sleeve that are often overlooked. This is where the Akai S-950 Operational Manual shines! It sheds a light on what every feature of the Akai S-950 does and why it’s there!

If you’ve got an S-950 or thinking about getting one, this manual will give you everything you need to understand and get the most out of this beast of instrument!

Ensoniq ESQ-1 is a hybrid digital-analog synthesizer released by Ensoniq in 1986. The ESQ-1 featured 8 voices with 3 digital oscillators per voice. Each oscillator could be set to one of 32 different waveforms. Some of these were standard simple waveforms such as sawtooth and pulse, while others were samples such as piano and voice. Each oscillator also had an associated DCA (not VCA) to control its volume in 256 steps. In addition to that, an ESQ1's voice featured 3 LFOs, 4 envelope generators, a 4-pole resonant analog lowpass filter (VCF), and a final VCA with left/right panning. It also sported a 61-key velocity-sensitive keyboard, full MIDI implementation, memory for 40 patches, a memory cartridge slot, and an 8-track sequencer. A rackmount version called the ESQ-M was also released circa 1987, with exactly the same specification minus the sequencer. The ESQ-1 was produced until 1988."

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! 🙂👋"
