Dave Smith Instruments Poly Evolver & Prophet '08 Strings and Bass

Dave Smith Instruments Poly Evolver Keyboard: String Quartet Patch

Published on Dec 21, 2014 Sacred Synthesis

"This improvisation uses a patch resembling an old-worldish string quartet in a large auditorium. It uses four sawtooths closely tuned, "slop," and a deep delayed vibrato, combined with the modulation wheel assigned to the filter cut off frequency for making dynamic changes. The upper range of the Evolver unfortunately has some audible digital aliasing.

Instrumentation:

Reverb from Lexicon MX300 and Alesis Nanoverb 2

Dave Smith Instruments Prophet '08: Strings and Bass

Published on Mar 11, 2015

"This little improvisation is all Prophet '08. It's meant to demonstrate two sounds: a string patch which is an emulation of a typical vintage string machine, as well as a rather menacing bass patch with all sorts of modulation.

Because the string patch uses Stack Mode, the instrument is reduced to only four voices. This makes it extremely difficult to avoid all "popping," as each voice is reassigned, due to your frequently running out of voices. It's especially true with such a transparent sound. You have to choose your notes very carefully, and trigger them with a deliberately disconnected technique. It's a reminder of one of the challenges of playing synthesizer: namely, each patch requires a unique playing technique, especially in light of its envelope setting.

Aflecht - Module Lunaire (modular synthesizer music)

Published on May 15, 2015 aflecht

Some additional info in via aflecht:

"This song showcases modular synths in modern music context. Almost all sounds were done using modular synths.

Mutable Instruments Braids was responsible for all eurorack oscillator duties.
Analog Solutions SY02 and Doepfer A-106-6 filters were used for all eurorack sounds.
Oakley Sound Systems 5U modular was used for non eurorack modular sounds.

Drums were done with Native Instruments Battery 4.
The polyphonic lead synth in the chorus part was done with Logic Pro X's RetroSynth.
Sequenced, recorded, edited and mixed in Logic Pro X."
