Dave Smith Instruments Prophet '08 Improvisation L (50)

Published on Jun 4, 2015 Sacred Synthesis

"Let me be the first to say that this improvisation is typical of the other pieces on this channel. It's only more of the same. But I wanted to demonstrate again the strengths of the Prophet '08 Keyboard.

This piece was played - except for the bass - entirely on ONE Prophet '08 Keyboard. In other words, it uses a split setting. The sound on the left hand is a pulse width modulation organ tone, and the sound on the right hand is a classic sawtooth lead. This is where the Prophet '08 excels - in making these standard, classic, traditional, old school analog sounds. And this is precisely why I like the instrument so much.

Another detail worth noting: this setting uses the Output B jacks on the back of the instrument. The organ sound is panned at the mixer to one side, and the sawtooth lead is panned to the other. This allowed for a stereo depth with a single instrument, and it also allowed me to process each sound differently. Reverb was added to both sounds, but delay was appropriately added only to the sawtooth lead.

Instrumentation:
DSI Prophet '08 Keyboard
DSI Evolver Desktop
Hammond XPK 200L

Reverb from Lexicon MX300
Delay from Alesis Nanoverb 2

Performed live and recorded directly to CD.

Din Sync DrumDokta2 Firmware Update 1.2

via Din Sync:

"Whats new:

RESET BEHAVIOUR
Added the ability to change the reset behaviour. Some users have reported the clock lagging by a 16th when clocked from Circadian Rhythm or Trigger Riot. This was due to the way the reset was handled. The new mode fixes this.

To change the reset behaviour, hold shift at power on to toggle. The step led will briefly show either steps 1-4 lit for the old reset behaviour or steps 5-8 for the new reset behaviour.

CLEAR MEMORY (formerly present but undocumented)
Holding bank and powering on the DrumDokta2 will erase all the contents of the memory. Please use this with caution as there is no undo from this.

Updating the firmware can be done using audio into the clock in jack, in most cases the file will need to be amplified (it is unlikely to work from a smartphone without boosting).

you can download the new firmware here DD2_FM1.2.zip"

Ribbon Controller and Darbuka "Rumeli Karsilama" by Yuichi Onoue & Yuzo Hisada

Ribbon Controller and Darbuka "Rumeli Karsilama" by Yuichi Onoue & Yuzo Hisada(自作楽器 リボンコントローラー)

Published on May 29, 2015 TorigoyaSound

In this video, Yuichi Onoue plays his handmade ribbon controller. It can change a oscillator pitch smoothly, depending on the place which you press down. It was originally made as a kind of MOOG SYNTHESIZER's controller in late 60's. I made this following its example. And playing style is self-taught.  You can find previous posts featuring TorigoyaSound here.
