MIDERA | Alone in the rain (a REV2 rendition), ambient track


Published on Jul 10, 2019 MIDERA

"Recreating a track I made originally using the Oberheim Matrix and my Accelerator with my REV2. The two synths have a lot in common internally, but the UI is very different..."

Vangelis - Rachel's song (cover) with Polyend Dreadbox Medusa synth


Published on Jun 23, 2019 Miltos Schimatariotis

"While exploring the warmer/sweeter side of the Polyend Medusa and the play-ability of the grid, I ended up making this small cover of one of my favorite tracks by Vangelis from the Bladerunner soundtrack. Some more details:

The Grid for the lead sound is setup so that the X-Axis goes one semitone up so on the X-Target I have the value of 10. With this setup it may be quite difficult to play always on tune so if you look at the video I always tend to touch the pads from the left side. This way doing the slides is also easier. I treat them somewhat like guitar frets. For the Y target I just have some filter cutoff. And for z-target a tiny bit of FM.
The pad and the drone are double tracked and panned left-right.
For the bass in order to fatten it up a little I have used the filter resonance.
The bell sound is just self resonating filter. The tuning here was a bit tricky, so I ended up doing some extra tuning later.
Generally the sounds are left without any significant post editing except of course the addition of effects and some basic mixing/mastering at the end. I have used Softube Tsar mainly on the lead sound to make it sound "bigger" as this reverb blends nicely with the sources, and for the long reverbs I have used NI/Softube RC 24. For the "shimmer" effect that is audible mostly at the outro I have added the Pitch shifter from NI Replika XT before the RC 24. There is also a little bit of Clouds at the pluck sound from VCV rack.

For the cover itself, I was partly influenced by the version of this song from Vasilis Saleas, a famous clarinet player in Greece. His version of the song is included in his album called "Orama".

Sound Design with Polyend Dreadbox Medusa (Ep. 1) - A warm brassy lead (Vangelis style)

Published on Apr 5, 2020 Miltos Schimatariotis

"This is my first attempt for a tutorial / walk-through of creating a patch for the Medusa synth. In this video I explain how I made the lead sound of my 'Vangelis - Rachel's Song' cover. It's a relatively simple patch but if there is an interest in this type of videos I could make this a series where more sounds will be covered. Thanks for watching, and take care!"

"I just started messing around with the modular after work one day. I had it sounding pretty cool and then I added the running water track in the background... it just clicked. I used my Eurorack system, and my Volca Beats/Bass/Mix combo."

Premiered Jul 2, 2019 edw


This one in via John L Rice.

If you look at the modules you'll noticed the divisions appear to be printed lines.  They don't appear to reach either the top or the bottom of the individual modules.  the cables also seem to be missing jacks - they seem to be just threaded through the printed patch points.

If anyone knows more let us know!

1984 Oberheim OB-8 SN C44304 w/ MIDI

"The OB-8 is the last version in the OB series made by Oberheim in California. 8 voices, MIDI capability, the mysterious Page 2 functions, 120 patches of memory, amazing factory presets, pitch and modulation controls...it stops short of nothing. Much easier to work on than previous brethren and more reliable, too. Fat lead sounds, golden metallic brass sounds, airy flute sounds, sounds like you're bopping along on coconuts... sounds upon sounds! Oh yeah - arpeggiator? Yep and it's killer. Countless artists, countless recordings..."
