Synth pop jam - AIRA, Bass Station 2, Microkorg, Analog Rytm, Analog Four, Microbrute

Published on Jan 23, 2016 Calle Nilsson

"I came up with the bassline on the Microbrute and built the track from that. The Bass Station 2 was used for the lead sound and it's great for lead sounds, not only bass :)
Main drums are from the TR8 and some extra drums from the Analog Rytm.
Extra synths from the Analog 4 and arpeggio from System 1 and bleeps from TB3. Lead also from the Microkorg."

Alright friends, this is it.. the first test track with the new PreSonus StudioLive 16.0.2 mixer.. it is just about everything i thought it would be plus a little more.

Now I am taking the step toward starting to write a proper full length album, and what you here on this video/track, is the first jam session. I would love you hear your input, as this one is not final... i will do another recording tomorrow as Cubase could not record 16 tracks at once (it stopped after 2 mins).. so i have to use StudioLive capture, which is fine... so this one only exists as a 2 track version.

Plan going forward is, to record a live session... both to 2 track, and also on 16 track, so i can first post the video on youtube, get your input ... also id like your feedback on what to do with the track going post production. This will take some time (obviously).. but id like to get you involved in the post production process. Any and all comments are welcome, as you can understand i cannot answer all questions and input... but i will try to do my best :)

Also, once i have the stems ready.. for a few tracks, and the album starts closing in on completion.. i will reach out to you for some remix work. (which will be loads of fun !)

This track as you understand is in no way a complete piece of music.. consider it a jam, and a structured piece to try and complete the jigsaw puzzle of the new BURG album. For all we know, this track might not even end up on the album :)

So Enjoy, and play it loud! :D

"Play a chord on a MIDI piano keyboard and strum those notes on a touch and velocity sensing Strumpad.

ROLAND JD-XA // OWN SOUND CREATIONS // part 3

Published on Jan 23, 2016 LESINDES

"Testing the ROLAND JD-XA. Own sound creations.
Using arpeggios and sequences. Tweaking occasionally. JD-XA does not contain any drum kits as its smaller and cheaper sibling is providing. If there are any drums to be heard they're mostly programmed from scratch with the internal sound engines -- both digital and analog.
More thoughts about the synth:
Many options. But it is a little bit the JD800 problem: the basic sound is quickly edited but the fine tuning takes hours because you have to step thru hundreds of parameters in a 2-line-display (without dial!!!).
No computer editor!
The sequencer is almost the same as in JD-Xi with the same flaws. It crashes frequently and it DOES NOT TRANSPOSE! I hope Roland will fix and implement this with the next update.
About the integration of digital and analog section: The routing is a bit confusing to me but once you managed to lea a digital sound through the analog section it sounds very nice. The digital waves are also well chosen and sounding. For understanding the concept: There are two synths -- one digital, one analog -- that only share the housing and the FX. As a consequence you cannot choose a digital waveform in your analog synth you can only lead a complete sound of the digital machine through the analog section for sound enhancement.
But all in all it is a versatile well sounding synth!"
