"Unique digital synth being one of the few additive synths out there. In great condition with clear display and working disc drive. This also has the added bonus of the ME-1 expander card (a clone version) which adds additional banks for storage. Although subjective, this is acknowledged as having one of the best synth keybeds out there."

Ambient jam with Moog Matriarch, Novation AFX Station, Hologram Microcosm, and Eventide Space

video upload by

"A live, semi-improvised track performed entirely on hardware.

I wrote this piece while tinkering on piano, and then arranged it for synth. The Matriarch excels at monophonic parts that sound huge and rich despite only playing one note at a time. Here I've got its four oscillators each tuned to a different octave, and its stereo delay offset in that horse-galloping sort of way. Once you add some reverb on top, it's sublime.

For melody, I wanted something small but also "messy". The Novation AFX Station was the perfect choice, as it fulfills these criteria and also has its own sound to the oscillators and filter that differ from the Moog sound. For the AFX Station, I use both the onboard filter drive and distortion to add a lot of harmonic richness, and some pitch modulation to get weirder toward the end. Once I placed the Hologram Microcosm at the end, doing its weird not-quite-reverb-not-quite-delay granular thing, the lead line came alive.

Performed and recorded live with EQ, compression, and limiting on the master.

Fairfield Circuitry ~900 (About Nine Hundred) Fuzz

video upload by Sound Isles

"~900 "About Nine Hundred" - a new four knob fuzz from Fairfield Circuitry made in Hull, Québec. Mostly using synth to demonstrate the two cascading JFET gain stages of the fuzz. The ~900 is a spiritual successor to the discontinued and well loved Four Eyes Fuzz, having a similar fuzz circuit. It has a very wide range of sounds from a lower gain drive to a massive wall of fuzz. Special appearance from their Long Life parametric EQ which pair together wonderfully. I explore how the fuzz can colour the Prophet 6 blending in nice distortion and break-up. The guitar is running direct-in to the GFI System Cabzeus cab sim with the Dr. Scientist Spectrum Analyzer running on the entire mix.

Aurora - Ordinary World (Above & Beyond Remix) [Quasimidi Sirius Rework]

video upload by JayB

You can see what the Sirius is doing in the top right.

"DOWNLOAD MIDI: http://jaybmusic.net/MIDI/

(Requires JayB's Sound Set for Quasimidi Sirius)

Another of my feasibility studies. Had this lying around for a few months now but couldn't decide whether to upload here or on my second YouTube channel. But since it's trance I did it here.
A very rough rework of the Above & Beyond remix of Aurora's cover of Duran Duran's track "Ordinary World", an all time favorite classic of mine, using only the Quasimidi Sirius as sound souce.
I've tried doing it on the Quasimidi Sirius itself but the step sequencer is a real b*tch. It took me several attempts to get the lead arp and the bass line right because it always messed up the events after saving. Please don't criticize me for choosing Logic Pro in the end."

"The Roland Alpha Juno 1/2 and the MKS-50 are among the greatest synths Roland did. Now the updated controller, the MPG-50mk2 from Retroaktiv gives you an even greater control over these synths. Internal memory for storing patches, the ability to control two units at the same time, a new patch generator, another MIDI post, bigger OLED display and more."
