Schmidt 8 Voice Analog Polyphonic Synthesizer Demo

Published on Feb 15, 2015 kpsiegel

"Watch in HD for highest quality audio. I did a demo of some original patches on my Schmidt 8 voice polyphonic analog synthesizer. The arpeggiated patch was driven by the arpeggiator from my Roland VSynth GT which was out of frame. Audio directly recorded into my DAW. There were a couple of minor distortion bursts that I apologize for. Two effects sends from my mixer were used. The first went to an Eventide H3000 D/SE running a custom patch from Italo De Angelis and the second send was to an Ekdahl Moisterizer. No other effects.

Apologies to Lana Del Rey ;-)"

Knifonium Tube Syntheszier Demos

Published on Jan 19, 2014

"In this video I try to demonstrate the Knifonium tube synthesizer. I start with the basic oscillator sounds and then add various "extras" such as changing the amplifier modes and boost, oscillator sync, FM, filter and amp feedback controls, the amazing ring modulator, and the sample and hold modification of the filter cutoff. Along the way I play with filter cutoff and some resonance stuff and basically have fun with it. The joystick controls filter cutoff in the Y direction and pitch in the X direction.

Most of the video is recorded with the Knifonium sound raw into my DAW (Sonar X3 Producer) with absolutely no processing or EQ. I wanted to give people an idea of what it sounds like as you are playing. Towards the end of the video I introduce effects from my Strymon Mobius, Timeline, and Big Sky. It's pretty obvious when they kick in."

Run Away Sound Track

Published on Jan 18, 2014

"This is a first video made with two new pieces of gear. The background sequences are done with my Juno 106 that has been modified with the Kiwi 106 board. This gives it a lot of new features including a sequencer. At the very beginning I use the editor to start the sequencer remotely. The synth you see me playing is the Knifonium which is an all tube synthesizer developed by Jonte Knif of Knif Audio. Everything was recorded live without any overdubbing at all. The only effects are the Juno 106 is going through a Lexicon PCM-80 and the Knifonium is going through an Eventide H3000 D/SE.

The original inspiration for this was me fooling with the Knifonium which I have just had for a day and putting it through the H3000 D/SE and feeling like it had a movie sound track feel. Like if you were walking into a bad situation. On the same day I finished installing the Kiwi 106 upgrade and when I used the sequencer they just seemed to mesh into some sound track like feeling. So...it was snowing all day and I just put it all together for fun.

The Knifonium has a HUGE sound to it. This video doesn't really show it off much but it was just a lot of fun to make so I figured why not since there is not much out there on the Knifonium yet. More to come on that!"

Solaris pad demo

Published on Jul 21, 2013 kpsiegel

"This pad uses CEM mixed triangle and pulse, a morphing square wave, and wavetables on the 4 oscillators. It makes extensive use of filter feedback and modulations of mixing levels, VCA pans, and VCA levels. I also use the sample and hold through a lag processor at very slight modulation amounts on the pitch of the oscillators to simulate some analog oscillator drift. Sort of irrelevant with a wavetable but what the heck."

Kiwi 106 demo

Published on Apr 1, 2014 kpsiegel

"In this video I demo my Kiwi 106 modified Juno 106. Each patch that is demonstrated cannot be done with a normal Juno 106. Any sequencing that is done is directly from the Juno 106. No DAW sequencing at all. This is all programmed into the Kiwi 106 sequence and pattern bank. I highly recommend getting this modification done to your Juno 106 if you have one. It was easy to install and the editing software that comes with it works great.

The 106 is being processed by an H3000 D/SE using one of Italo De Angelis' presets called Lexi Diffuse Delay at 30% wet on both channels. No other effects, EQ, or compression. This was filmed and recorded directly into my DAW.

Jupiter 8 modified with Pyxis aftertouch demo

Published on Aug 20, 2013 kpsiegel

"I had my Jupiter modified to accept a New England Analog Pyxis aftertouch system along with an aftertouch pressure pad. It allows me to do the following:

Bend VCO1 and/or VCO2 with aftertouch in the same or different directions. Very nice for aftertouch detuning.

Open the filter cutoff and/or add an additional triangle or square wave LFO as a filter modulation if desired with aftertouch

Modify the VCA volume and/or add a triangle or square wave LFO tremolo wtih aftertouch

The rate of the Pyxis LFO can also be affected by the aftertouch sensor.

Basically a lot of cool stuff. This mod also allows you to have the aftertouch active or not at either split point for split keyboard mode patches.

For this demo the Jupiter 8 had NO filter modification done by anything other than the aftertouch system. No envelopes at all come into play. An H3000 D/SE was used as an effects box for reverb and delay."

Jupiter 8 improvisation

Published on Nov 3, 2013

"I recorded an improvisation on my Jupiter 8 with a pyxis aftertouch system. I used an Eventide ModFactor for Chorus, a vintage delay on the Eventide TimeFactor, and a Hall reverb on the Eventide Space. I have the Jupiter set up as two layered patches which I fade between as things go on. This was all recorded directly into my DAW.

Aftertouch controls the filter cutoff, VCA level, and some vibrato. At one point I set it to allow me to bend oscillators individually. I have this switchable so they can bend in different directions if I want to do detuning effects with the aftertouch.

It starts with a classical feel with apologies to Brahms in the beginning and then things get moving. Rhythmic filter cutoff bouncing is done with the aftertouch as the mod lever sets the cutoff up and down around which the aftertouch filter control works. A nice effect to play with."

GRP A4 Jam

Published on Aug 11, 2013 kpsiegel

"I tried to show a different side of the GRP A4 by not using filter distortion or the ring modulator at all. I didn't overdrive the filters either. I use the sequencer to modulate the oscillators and select different sequencer rows at different times. The sequencer is in 2x8 mode and is also used as a filter mod. The two filters are set up in parallel mode. Most of the time the ladder filter is in 24 dB mode. I had the filter envelope looping in auto mode with very slow attack and delay times.

I intentionally did not play a lot of notes on the keyboard but, instead, tried to use the sequencer with different row selectors and heavy use of the pattern reset button.

The A4 was put through a Strymon Timeline running the tape delay and a Strymon Blue Sky Reverberator for reverb. All drums were done with my modified 606."
