OP-1 as a basic 4-Track in Stereo Demo

Published on Feb 4, 2014 djthomaswhite·91 videos

"In this video I get brave and play the ukelele and sing, both of which I am terrible at. However, the point is that I sat in a quiet room, used the internal microphone and layered multiple takes into the OP-1. The only other elements included include one Cluster synthesizer sound, some Nitro processed drums and Spring reverb on the main mix in the OP. The channels are panned to give a stereo field. Very basic, but useful to show how you can use the OP-1 in a style completely different from my other previous tutorials and examples."

OP-1 "In Stereo" 3 minute Demo Song

Published on Feb 4, 2014 djthomaswhite·91 videos

"I wanted to show that the OP-1 is not strictly mono when it comes to audio. True, each tape track is mono, but each tape track can also be planned in the main mix out. This example uses four internal synthesizer engines to varying degree and each on is on a separate track and panned in the mix. It's a short tune, with no beats, and not very exciting, but soon I will make longer ones with more depth."

"This drone is made with a System-100m and some Doepfer utility modules. Sequencer is a Oberkorn mk3. Delay and reverb are from the mighty RE-201 Space Echo.

The video footage is from the Island Inis Meain which is the smallest of the Aran Islands, IRL. Big respect to the people who live there !!"

Interesting insight with EDP Wasp creator Chris Huggertt. At 2:25 he states the original BassStation used the VCA & filter of the Wasp, "the analog synth part of the Wasp."

Details on the Contest and Sample Pack (Press Release):

"Novation Releases a Heritage Celebration Short Film, FREE 800MB Sample Pack, and All-Star Judged Competition to WIN its Powerful Synth Line

Novation is celebrating its heritage with a short film that explores Novation past, present, and future, along with a completely free sample pack comprising over 800MB of loops, single hits, multi sampled patches, and drum kits from its unforgettable and modern classic synths.

In addition, Novation are offering three people the chance to win their choice of Bass Station II, UltraNova, or MiniNova - their award winning current lineup of synthesisers - in a make-a-track competition with an all-star judging panel including Paul Hartnoll (Orbital), Liam Howe (Lana Del Rey, Sneaker Pimps), Eats Everything, and Timo Maas in a competition running from the 4th of February to the 4th of March 2014.

Novation co-founder Ian Jannoway, legendary synth designer Chris Huggett, Gus Unger-Hamilton of Alt-J, Sneaker Pimps and Lana Del Ray producer Liam Howe, and product manager Matt Derbyshire all feature in a very special short film that charts the rise of Novation from humble beginnings to a company whose musical innovations support a user base that includes - amongst many others - Orbital, M4SONIC, Rudimental, T.E.E.D, Lunice, Alt-J, Teddy Riley, and Jimmy Mac - keyboardist for international sensation Lorde.

Supernova II, K Station, Bass Station, Drum Station, Bass Station II and Ultranova are all represented in the heritage sample pack, and Novation are launching a month long competition with an all-star judging panel including Paul Hartnoll (Orbital), Liam Howe (Lana Del Ray, Sneaker Pimps), Eats Everything, and Timo Maas to create a track using the pack - with three winners each winning their choice of either Ultranova, Mininova, or Bass Station II. The competition runs from 4th of February 2014 to 4th of March 2014.

Good luck!"

GinnungagapVoices with Halls of Valhalla Reverb for Tiptop Z-DSP

"Another demo of the upcoming Halls of Valhalla reverb cartridge for the Tiptop Audio Z-DSP.

The first part of the recording is the Arturia Microbrute, dry, playing a simple sequence. The second part is the same sequence, but with the Mix on the Z-DSP set to 100% wet. The Halls of Valhalla is set to the Ginnungagap algorithm, with decay set fairly low, and tone and chorus set almost the whole way up."
