"This EMS prototype is unique – there is only one made – for 'Yes' and Digitana just bought it from them or someone – it’s basically the Synthi A with another layout and minikeys. So it’s quite a modern approach – Microkorg-Style."
"Fully serviced Moog Mg-1 with a few functional upgrades professionally done. It has a new set of sliders and switches installed, AC cord has been replaced with standard IEC outlet and all electrolytic and tantalum capacitors have been replaced. Upgrades include: 1/4" output jack and 1/4" filter in jack, trigger input converted to more useable v-trig, osc 2 square wave shape changed to 50% duty like osc1, osc 2 detune slider goes down or up an exact full octave, switches added for 1 octave drop on osc 1 and 2. The synth was fully calibrated after the mods so the tuning/scaling is very precise as well as the rest of the calibration. It is incredibly quiet and is a solid and stable instrument."
"...for no particular reason, other than it was a nice night, so I'd been sitting out there messing around with Mersenne on the iPad: I found something I liked using it's arpeggiator, so I recorded a couple of takes, tweaking the sounds in real-time, and then decided to bring the Odyssey out there too and lay something simple over the top of it. The Odyssey part is meant to be a little in the background, as I didn't want to drown out the sounds from Mersenne, because it produces some really lovely timbres.
Video footage is of a recent trip to Europe. No technical/gear questions please; I'm a perpetual n00b, and as always it's just intended to be music for music's sake, in the off-chance that someone else might enjoy it. It's not instructional or critical."
