"Preceded by a child's toy on the video, the Use Audio Plugiator has a model reminiscent of the the Prophet VS or PPG. Outside of cyclical rhythm sounds, it has an ambience with the delay and chorus. Here, I have an almost metal percussive tone with higher artifacts, a gothic organ sound, and assorted wavetable sweeps creating tempos. Somewhere, my controller was sending unwanted mod messages. I put some video effects just to add interest. Just imagine playing solemn carols with the Meowsic."
"A grainy clip showing the use of cross fade between different scenes in the upcoming music machine Elektron Octatrack. You also get a glimpse of some of the effects."
I contacted Syncoustica to find out more about the piece and what synths were used: "The Warsaw Canons are a homegrown Christmas recording made by myself. I used a RITM-2 synthesizer exclusively for this recording; all multi-tracked (usually two but sometimes three or four tracks) on the pre-MIDI Soviet synthesizer I did employ some signal processing in ProTools and a reel-to-reel preamp at one point."
"Demonstration: four R-54s used as VCOs, controlled by R-60 MIDI-CV and Doepfer quad EG, mixed to stereo, fed thru two R-53s, then to two more R-54s used as filters. EG modulation of filters only.
Is this sound "fat" enough for everyone?
As you can see, the Monorocket cabinet has no problem running eight Metasonix R modules plus an R-60 and many others. Sixteen tubes in total, plus 4 more in the MW cabinet."
Update:
R-53 demo

"Same patch as previous video. We show the operation of the two R-53 waveshapers, first the pulsers, then the ringmodulation inputs using audio from a Zorlon Cannon."
"A great MOD of our PT2399 Delay Kit. We replaced the 20K linear delay pot with a 500K, making some out-of-this-world sounds! Also added is a momentary switch, that loops the current delay output as long as you hold the button down. Great for noise and electronic drone heads. Find the MOD online at: www.synthrotek.com"
