Descent From Digitana Sequences

YouTube via JeffreyPlaide
"This work was one of the first musical compositions composed almost entirely on the Alesis Andromeda synthesizer. A basic rhythm patch was programmed on the Andromeda, and this then provided the backing for the multi-part sequences using a short sustain and hard-synched oscillators. The sequences introduce the tempo of the melody with these being backed by a warm string-like pad. The optimism of the piece soon changes as darker pitch modulations come into play with a nightmare of surreal bird samples invading the scene. The Andromeda sequences die away to leave the bird calls and a very dark bass oscillation. This synthesizer experimentation was one of the first to bring about a complete phrasal change from the optimistic plucked sequences to the darkwave tones of the bird passages. The visuals for the music were entirely composed using pure video synthesis and transformational linear modulations created by the Adobe Premier software. This was done for the creation of analogue-like video modulations using entirely synthetic means. The result is an unusual interwoven synthesizer combination blending analogue and sampled sounds with pure electronic video animations. The composition represents a tribute to the EMS Synthi 100 audio synthesizer and the EMS Spectron video synthesizer."

* Publisher MacOSX Waldorf micro Q

via Joel, who used the Micro Q editor, on the Waldorf list:
"It really is very hard to grok the full power of an instrument when you can only see into it from a tiny window. Well designed synth editors really let you see the big picture. Thanks also to the free MQeditor I recently found here I'm now able to really get serious about making new sounds on my MicroQ - it was fine from the front panel, but now I've come to understand the Modulation and routing sections much better, and to get a better feel for what my synth is capable of."

12DECODE Waldorf Microwave Editors for Macintosh

http://12decode.de/

"This page is about my system exclusive based sound editors for Waldorf’s MicroWave Synthesizers. The current version is 4.1
There is an editor for the original Microwave (aka Microwave I, with software version 2.0 installed) and an editor for the Microwave II (including the XT line).

The sound generating architecture of the Microwave II is very similar to the MicroWave I, except the different concept with the “modulation matrix” and the possibility to change many parameters simply by control change messages and by turning the little knobs manually, so system exclusive programming may not be so important."
