YouTube Uploaded by AfroDjMac on Aug 16, 2011

"AfroDJMac here, bringing you another Free Ableton Live Rack. This one is an entire Live Set that I use to play virtual synthesizers live. In the video, I explain how I have set up 7 different synths (all included in download) as well as my OP-1 by Teenage Engineering for live performances. The synths are routed through a multi effects rack, which I control with an Akai MPK49 and Keith McMillen SoftStep. Everything is explained and can be customized to your own personal set up. Designed to be extremely versatile and change quickly from an extremely wide array of sounds. Enjoy!

M-Z3R0 - circuit bent yamaha DD8 + K-filter V2

Listen to this one evolve.
"An old DD8 i did back in 2009. Out and about to demo the K filter processing drums,,,,,"

M-Z3R0 filters on eBay

"The M-Z3R0 - K-FILTER is a high quality analogue resonant low pass filter FX unit.

This is a progression on my earlier K-filter. This filter now has a pre-amp section which has allowed me to add filter overdrive,

gain reducer control and amp input level. Combined with the standard cutoff/resonance controls they turn this into an interesting fx unit

for mashing up drum loops or adding a 'bit crusher' style effect to sounds.

Add this to any piece of equipment and it immediately takes it to a whole new level in audio diversity.

Even a childs keyboard can sound like a good analogue synth through one of these, as the link shows."

Nena 99 Red Balloons - cover

"This is my version of "99 Red Balloons" by Nena, recreated (a "ReCover" as I call it) completely in Propellerhead's Record. Almost all custom patches (there's the Subtractor "Glass Organ" patch for the keyboard solo, layered with some custom patches though), all original note data (no web download of MIDI files). Rick Silvestri on electric guitar and bass guitar."

Yamaha D85 organ/synth CHOPPED same PASS tech like CS80

via this auction
"modified into what You see now by PRO technician, the organ weight is around 100lbs now( Yamaha YC-45 is 136lbs, CS80 290lbs). Yamaha D85 is basically model the E-70 [video just posted here], top line at that time, made in 1977, with the addition of a rhythm sequencer, digital tempo readout, more rhythm variations, as well as Vocal and String Ensembles and 3rd keybed as a synth!!!. You can mix not only different waves, but You can mix keybeds. 3rd small keyboard has phenomenal synth sounds by itself plus AFTERTOUCH!!!, but if You mix with sounds of 2 orchestral presets and active orchestral waves... fattest I've ever heard. Also You can mix 2nd and lower keyboard in any possible way and even to add bass pedal orchestral sounds. D85 was top-of-the-line home console model that used Yamaha's "Pulsed Analog Synthesis System" (PASS) to create more lifelike sounding instruments. PASS took technology from the GX-1 and incorporated it into a consumer model instrument. The ramifications revolutionized the organ industry. Instruments voices began evolving towards emulating the true orchestral instruments rather than theater organ equivalents. Same technololy applied to Famous Yamaha CS80. Strings and voices beat ARP Solina and probably better then on CS80( I had one for a while)and of course much better than YC series including YC30 or YC 45D. Unit has also arpeggiator in 6 variations, sequencer, hold effect and tons of other feature included stupid drum machine. Yamaha D85 is certainly better than YC 45D and this particular one even weights less on 30lbs."

The touch surface span the entire width of the device now. This will allow you to play more notes and it will also spread out some scales.
An erase button was added so that you can erase any mistakes when you record live.

The SCALE option was moved to the SETTINGS view to streamline the design."
