Best Ambient Synth Shootout #68: Modal Craft Synth 2.0 - Song 1

Published on Jun 7, 2019 Christian's Sonic Spaces

"This is the first evening and the first soundscape with the Craft Synth 2.0. Just tweaked some sound patches and tried to discover the sonic potential of this tiny synth. And got out some experimental, minimal ambient.

At first, I like the endless knobs, the smooth glas surfaced keyboard (perfect to slide your finger over the keys) and the harsh, digital, agressiv sound.

I used for the recording the following FX chain:
CraftSynth 2.0 - Alesis Ampliton - Pigtronix Echolution 2 Deluxe - GFI System Specular Reverb 2. Depending on the recorded track some FX are deactivated

The signal went through a Presonus StudioLive 16.0.2 into the PC via USB for recording. To create the complete song I recorded consecutively several stereo tracks. The final song was then mastered with a bit EQ and compression on some tracks and some limiting on the master track."

Would love to see some comments if you decide to take the 2 minutes to check this one out!"

Strymon volante vs Avalon Bassline

#tb303 #strymon #refaceCP

This is not a demo or a showcase of the Strymon volante in any way, this is just me noodling around after a long hiatus trying to get back on track due to severe creative block. I have had zero inspiration lately.. so I needed to dial things back and work with a minimal setup to break the ice.

The 303 square bass is a very simple 8 step sequence, I wanted to make it feel bigger and more complex. So I used the "tape heads" in the volante to add/build up the track in a subtle way.

Half way through the track, I turn on a pre recorded loop (reface CP in reverse) on the 720 when I do the melody style editing on the Avalon.

Gear used:

* 303 square bass, Avalon bassline, through the Strymon volante (magnetic drum)
* Yamaha Reface CP, Rhodes piano, Rd1, 720 looper, Strymon blue sky (modulated room)
-- FX in reface CP, slight tremolo and a long analogue delay

All is mixed on a behringer 1002B, recorded straight into the Zoom H5.
-- Post processing, compressor and limiter to balance things out a bit.

I hope you will enjoy this one.
BooM !"
