Space Cadet: Sequential TAKE 5 - Prophet REV2 - Toraiz AS 1 & PEAK

video upload by Alba Ecstasy

"Ambient patches: https://www.albaecstasy.ro
Here it is, the promised track, containing the Sequential TAKE 5, Prophet REV2 and Toraiz AS-1.
The Novation PEAK adds a bit of sensation with an FX patch (from the next sound bank I'm preparing).
Each one of the synths runs the sequences on their internal clock, with no MIDI connectivity between them or having a master clock.
All internal effects, just a bit of reverb on the REV 2 (Eventide Blackhole). Enjoy!"

Sequential TAKE 5 Ambient FAVORITE Factory PRESETS

video upload by Alba Ecstasy

"SEQUENTIAL / Dave Smith Instruments AMBIENT SYNTHS PATCHES 👉https://www.albaecstasy.ro
Having the TAKE 5 for this weekend by the courtesy of ZEEDOSHOP (thank you, Mihai!), I decided to make this video, showing my favourite (ambient) factory presets, that I could use, out of the box, without tweaking them, in one of my tracks!
Actually, stay tuned for my next video, where I integrate it in a short track with Toraiz AS-1 and Prophet 08 REV2 (Space Cadet)!

And, in a few words:
- What do I like about TAKE 5?!
Sounds clear, precise but also, the pads can sound very mysterious and... with a strange (?!!) vibe. Keyboard feels great as usual, with aftertouch.
Knobs are sturdy but the overall construction reminds me of Evolver-MoPh-Tetra - but the sound is on another level!

- What I don't like?!
The Volume knob: it seems that the last two steps are not having any impact when tweaking the knob, the volume not increasing anymore.
Not seeing parameters in real time, when tweaking the knobs, it's a downsize, especially when looking for clock divide.
Also, when EQing the above mentioned track (look for "Space Cadet" next on my video list) I discovered a low end leak, that you can actually hear it, even when playing high pad notes.
Anyway, the TAKE 5 overall experience is much greater than its name!

PS: no EQ or any other processing than adjusting the gain of some patches that were on different levels due to their character.

Moog Matriarch: The Tenth Passing - coming back around

video upload by MIDERA

"Tonight I sat in my studio, making patches on my Yamaha AN1x (and getting a bit bored of the tedium of trying to make patches). I decided to switch on the Matriarch and just mess around with it. If there's one thing I love about the Matriarch, it's the strange types of arps and sequences you can come up with the independent oscillators that can independently be switched to different octaves. It's just so easy to come up with interesting sequences with it. The ratchet feature is also one that cannot be ignored - really, more sequencers need a 'ratchet' feature. The only other sequencer with this feature that I own is the Toraiz Squid.

Anyway, this is long over-due. I had originally planned to record 10 videos of the Matriarch by itself, but stopped for some reason after the 9th (on October 6th, 2020). Why I stopped then, I don't really know. Ah, yes, I remember. The Prophet 5/10 reissue came out around then and I started wondering what I should part with to make room (hint: I parted with nothing).

Anyway, Eventide Blackhole VST was used for reverb."

One more | Roland D-50, Roland SH-101, Toraiz Squid, Yamaha RS7000 Demo

video by MIDERA

"Had an hour while my daughter was napping, so I made this. I found this preset on the D-50 that sounded pretty cool (starts right at the beginning). I liked it, and just made this jam, or whatever it is.

Really though, not much to add. Now its time to go see if we can buy her a fish. Who knows how that will go..."

What comes after | IDM demo with Roland D-50, SH-101, Yamaha RS7000, Toraiz Squid

video by MIDERA

"Upon writing my recent review of the Roland D-50 (here: https://www.midera-artist.com/roland-...), I decided to reach out to a friend who had bought mine, and I bought it back from him, mostly to see - does the UI really suck as bad as I thought it did?

The first thing to note - it didn't take long for this song to irritate me, so, perhaps this isn't the best track to start off with on the D-50, but as I state in my review, the sound of the D-50 is really pleasing.

So - for some reason, the D-50's interface wasn't quite as bad as I thought. For one reason or another, my brain seems better equipped to handle it. Why is that? I haven't exactly been using it for over 2 years. I think part of it is, two years of exploring other synthesizers, a pandemic, a job change, other things - I think we're just more complicated than 'sit down with X for Y hours and you'll get better.' Like, it took my daughter sitting on a bike 3 times, unmoving, to suddenly... just be biking. So much goes on behind the scenes that contribute to our abilities and knowledge.

Anyway, as I recall - The D-50 is a keeper."
