Lassence µVentury II

A couple of shots of the Lassence uVentury II via Kylee

"It's pretty cool..very SEM'y sound to its filter. I mostly use it for sound mangling. It's a perfect combo with an MS-10. The oscillators are amazing LFO's to patch to the MS-10. I think only 15 were made so there's not many photos or info online about it. Unlike a few posts I've seen the VU meter does indeed work... It's pretty cool. I've taken my unit out of the case a couple time. Mines unit #3."

Me playing Depeche Mode "Stripped" (Updated)

YouTube via DX5
"New "Stripped" cover, based on the live version DM played back on the 80's. The engine sample is the original Emulator I library sound DM used for the song (altough they removed some noise between strokes which is present in my cover). I got it directly sampled from an Emulator.

Gear:
Emu Emax 1, EMAX II HD (sampled sounds from a Roland JP8000 and my libraries).
Kurzweil PC1x
Backtrack recorded and sequenced in Pro Tools with Reason Re Wired.

The sound is slighty compressed by the camera preamp, so some audio attenuation can be heard in some sections.

*There was a nice fly messing around, some wrong notes as results and even an attempt to catch it (Failed!)"

A look at some of the Moog and electronic music albums and Records in my Collection

YouTube via vinylelvis1

"I have loved electronic music for a long time! The Moog is my favourite though. Some of the artists and musicians are incredible! Perry and Kingsley,Claude Denjean,Morton Subotnick,Tomita...just to name a few! Moog albums can be hard to find,some are easier than others. I always see the "Everything you wanted to hear on the moog......" and the Star Wars moog album too. In sounds from way out....album music is playing in background. You might recognize some bits of it used in different songs done recently. Enjoy!"
