"The synth has been upgraded with the DBM firmware which offers an actual MIDI-implementation with filter control and more. The Memorymoog Plus was originally intended to work with MIDI but in fact it didn't with it's stupid Omni mode. Making it virtually impossible to function with MIDI.
It sounds absolutely fantastic (but you probably know that) and do rarely require the need of the autotune function.
But just some 30 min. good old warm up"
"The 10-band paraphonic vocoder of course nails classic Kraftwerk robot speak sounds, but it's even more useful (imo) as a secret studio weapon for subtle, unique pads. If you're tired of that (beautiful, but somewhat boring) Juno 60 pad sound you hear on just about every track, the otherworldly vocal-inflected envelopes of the VP-330 can be a killer option to add to your bag of tricks.
And yeah, of course the syrupy chorus string machine that's classic Blade Runner soundtrack era Vangelis is worth the price of admission on its own."
"All sounds you hear are from the Future Retro Vectra synthesizer. In this video we focus primarily on a few Bass, Guitar, and Sync type sounds.
The Vectra is capable of recreating some of the most recognizable sounds from some of the greatest synths of all time. Want to do wavetable synthesis like the Prophet VS and Microwave 1? How about some DX FM sounds? Or combine digital and analog waveforms like the D-50? And who remembers the SQ-80? But this goes farther than just digital synths, how about 303 stuff? Do you enjoy the rich fat tones of the Oberheim's with variable glide time per oscillators, and gorgeous filters? We do too! And British synth lovers, will enjoy the Synthi, Wasp, and Oscar inspirations. Want to dive into some modular weirdness, you got it! Or maybe you're just tired of the same old drum machines and ready for some new percussion. Whether you're a professional musician, sound designer for film, or hobbiest the Vectra offers something for everyone.
Some clips may include a touch of reverb/delay from the Eventide Eclipse."
