With over 30 years’ experience within audio production, live performance and sound design, he has a wealth of knowledge and experience, together with a professional attitude to complete a project on time and on budget. Sound Design has been the focal point for Jamie, especially in recent years due to the revival of analog synthesizers and the advancements within digital synthesis.

Jamie has currently produced synth patch libraries for several hardware poly synths for both analog and digital Synthesizers, however he is keen to further this by creating synth libraries for software synthesizers as well. Jamie also has recently been providing Real-Time Sound Design Tutorials, showing how to make a variety of sounds from scratch, which can be found on his Patreon site.

This video spotlight features GEOSynths patches for the Prophet-6, OB-6, Prophet 12, Prophet X, and Prophet Rev2.

Instruo Cs-L Complex Oscillator

video by Boele Gerkes

"The amazing Instruo Cs-L complex oscillator through a 4MS Dual Looping Delay. Two Verbos Random Sources modulating the Wavefolder and Symmetry Bias CV inputs of both VCOs. With the mod wheel on my controller keyboard (that has CV outs) I move the pitch of one of the VCOs 1 octave up every now and then which gives this lovely sliding effect."

ARP's Dennis Colin - Ladder Filter & Hyperphase Pedal (Bright Sparks Outtake)

video by GForce Software

"An outtake from the Bright Sparks Documentary where ex-ARP engineer (and the creator of the SEM filter) Dennis Colin talks about how the Ladder Filter was the inspiration for his lauded and obscenely rare Hyperphase pedal.

Sadly, Dennis passed away just after we filmed him at his home in New Hampshire, but his legacy lives on in the ARP 2500, ARP 2600, Aries 300 and the legendary Oberheim SEM filter.

Originally released in December 2015 to critical acclaim and created to compliment the I Monster album of the same name, Bright Sparks documents the human stories of eight musical instrument pioneers, - Robert Moog (Moog), Alan R Pearlman (ARP), Don Buchla, Harry Chamberlin, The Bradley Brothers (Mellotronics), Adrian Wagner (Electronic Dream Plant), Peter Zinovieff (EMS) and Ken Freeman.

'An engrossing and fascinating documentary that pays tribute to the modest but amazing innovators who changed the face of electronic music' Vince Clarke"

"Available now: https://wavparty.com/downloads/drm1-r...

What happens when you take a massive library of analog drum sounds from the Vermona DRM1 and resample them with a ton of hardware and software samplers and effects? This. This sample pack is what happens. It’s weird that you didn’t guess that."

Roland JV-1080 "Analog Dreams" Soundset 75 Presets

video by LFOstore

"BUY: https://lfo.sellfy.store/p/roland-jv-...

The legendary Roland JV-1080 synthesizer is back with its best classic analog sounds - "Analog Dreams" soundset!

After succesful "Planet JV" soundset we put our effort on modeling
iconic analog sounds for vintage spirit in modern music production.

Back to 1994 JV was one of the most powerful digital modules with its flexible engine & beautiful sound combined with great set of effects & drums.

Why its so cool?

Cause besides pianos, bells, cowbells & cheesy accordions, GM applause and Bang! presets - its capable to create great analog sounds, deepest ambient textures, great moving sequences.

Its like a hardware 'Omnisphere' synth with huge effort.

So – what was our first desire when we get our black box?
To create our own soundset for the legend with modern approach ofcourse!

So here it is: "Analog Dreams" Soundset with 75 hand krafted presets by LFO.store chief, Nick Klimenko

Inside of the pack is all you need for your retro-inspired track:

*Vintage analog-like basses & Vintage leads (yes, Klaus Schulze spirit also there)

*Great emulations of classic legends: Moog, Jupiter, JX-series, CS, Juno,Arp Odyssey, Yamaha DX-7 and others

*Deepest ambient pads, space drones & tonal soundscapes

*Modern sequences you never heard or seen before on JV

*Beautiful bells, plucks & rhytmic structures

Good news everyone!

Working with all Roland line: jV-1010, JV-1080, JV-2080, XP-30, XP-50, XP-60, XP-80, XV-88, XV-2020, XV-3080, XV-5050, XV-5080.

Enjoy the sounds and rediscover your JV module with our soundset!"

🎷 Dreadbox Typhon - Melodic Profusion (64 Presets + Sequences)
🎸 Dreadbox Typhon - Rhythm In Bass (64 Presets + Sequences)
Get the Soundsets: https://antonanru.sellfy.store/dreadbox/

Each preset has a sequence. You may use it as it is, change it, or send notes from DAW or any other external sequencer.

But I strongly recommend using the internal sequencer, as I thoroughly set modulations that are synced to the playback. These modulations make the presets and the sequences sound really expressive, dynamic, evolving without touching any parameters.

However, if you tweak Modwheel, Pitchbend (that are set in every preset), and front panel parameters, you will raise a timbre's expression to the new level.

Modded Eventide H3000S

Pics of the inside below.

"Non humming Eventide H3000S upgraded to all D/SE presets/banks. OS v2.17.
If you`re looking onto this device you know magic of this thing.

However, this device is unusual. Unit is professionally modded.
If you`ve used this device previously you know that crazy annoying hum which produces H3000.
So, this particular device is totally silent, no hum at all. And yes, this puzzled many times many H3000 users, with this also legendary problem of harmonizer.
Hum disappearing is result of modding, with two separate transformers instead of stock single mains transformer, which was unlucky just from start of H3000, causing vibration of top/bottom steel covers.
Other positive aspect of modding except relieving from hum is affecting onto sound performance, so, due to separation (by separate transformers) of digital and analog powering chains sound signature got more else luxury tails, transparency and airing.
In fact, separation of digital and analogue power chains is typical technical solution in many high grade top audio devices, top AD/DA, etc.
At last, input stage upgraded with sweet hi-quality Fairchild NE5532 opamps instead stock TL072 opamp (will be supplied also).

Overall, device in perfect optical shape, LCD, encoder and all buttons working perfectly."
