OP-Z // Cedar

video by Payton Carter

"Why even have an OP-Z if you don't make lo-fi hip hop beats to relax/study to? I downloaded some boom bap and vocal kits from op1.fun and this is a happy little tune I made with them.

Pedals on synths: First try with a few Boss pedals (CE2W + DM2W + OD3)

video by SYNTHWAY

"Just trying some pedals with the Nord Lead 4.

00:12​ - Base Sound
01:10​ - Nord's Internal Delay
01:50​ - DM2W Delay
02:43​ - Base Sound
02:57​ - OD3 Overdrive
03:28​ - OD3 + DM2W
03:54​ - DM2W Delay
04:36​ - Base Sound
04:41​ - CE2W Chorus

Some thoughts in the end.

The CE2W is beyond glorious in my honest opinion.

Everything recorded directly to the audio interface (Scarlett 2i2).
Routing for audio is double mono tracks with -20/+20 Panorama."

"This Yamaha SS-30 sounds great. It is a string synth, released in 1977 and it gets a really good write up, many people seem to love it! There are two tones for each note and it can create some really lush timbres. If you are after a stringer, this would definitely be a great option."

Roland Jupiter-8 w/ MIDI

Note: Auction links are affiliate links for which the site may be compensated.

via this auction

"Rare 14-bit version, also referred to as the "JP-8A". It was serviced a few years ago by Rosen Sound, where they replaced the DCB port with a more practical MIDI option. The "LFO Waveform" knob is a bit wobbly, but works fine. If you are skilled with repairs, replacement pots can be found online for $20 bucks ;) Otherwise, this synth performs great, sounds incredible, and ready for your next recording project."
