Test patch for the PAiA 9700s modular synth

YouTube via shobley
"I made this movie as a reference for other 9700s builders. It uses MIDI pitch, trigger and gate, OSC2 and modulation, the VCF (both filters ganged) and the envelope generator.

As far as I can tell, everything is working correctly, and the output sounds like this...

[The midi keyboard was shifted down to octave -4.]

Check out my blog for the color coded image file of this test patch.

LeadOn

YouTube via blackmuzzle
"Sequenced entirely on the Fantom, LeadOn was yet another learning experience using a different workflow, not to mention a new keyboard workstation. It's a playful, jazzy piece of electronica.

Equipment: Access Virus TI, Elektron Machinedrum, Roland Fantom G6

ESQ1 Parameters for my Vangelis CS80 brass sounds

"the parameters in the video are for the patch which uses the mod. wheel to express the sound (my favourite)!.. By hitting the filter button and changing "wheel" to "env 2" you allow the patch to flow on its own. There are many variations of it, try experimenting with the LFO's and envelopes to suit . I find this patch with the mod wheel to be the best, certainly does not have the warmth of the CS80, but very inspiring.
The track I made for the video is the opening of "love is" by Jon and Vangelis"

Airwolf theme on the Roland Fantom G6

YouTube via joukoq. sent my way via Toumal.
"I got the Fantom G on Friday and threw together this as a practise project. Used preset sounds with some minor tweaking. For somewhat better quality: http://kiekko.tk/q/airwolf.mp3

I routed all instruments through a Super Filter MFX to do some kind of fade in/out, but didn't find a way to automate this, so I've done it in real time here.

The melody probably isn't 100% right. It's mostly based on listening to the Commodore 64 game tune a long time ago. I never actually saw the series. It seems the TV show and C64 melodies differ a bit."
