US 395 and Califorhia Highway 14: Small Lake to Red Rock Canyon, Mojave Desert

video upload by CatSynth TV

"We travel south on US Highway 395 and California Highway 14 in the high desert from the vicinity of Small Lake to the entrance of Red Rock Canyon State Park. Here US 395 emerges onto a wide desert plane near the border between Inyo and Kern Counties. It then splits from the northern end of CA 14, which was once part of US 6.

The original music is based on a rhythm based on Indian classical thekas with 14 beats, including Rupak and Āṛāchārtāl. It features the following instruments:
Yamaha RX5 Drum Machine
Kilpatrick Audio Carbon Sequencer
Octave CAT analog synthesizer
Arturia Pigments
Arturia Stage 73 V and Wurli V
Crank Sturgeon Pocket Gamelan
Strymon StarLab
Rossum Electro-Music Morpheus Z-Plane Filter
Metasonix RK5 Dual Low Pass Gate

Hidden In Plain Sight

"I've been working on this percussive patch for a few days.
It wasn't until this evening that I thought to see/hear what was going on underneath all of this by opening the volume pots on
the Lo Pass Gates.
Voila!
Whole new sonicworlds!"

And the press release:

Eplex7 DSP has released Psychedelic FM Superesonator plugin VST synthesizer.

FM synthesizer sounds are one of mostly used elements in psytrance / darkpsy / hitech or psycore music. But classic saw osc FM sounds are sounding very similar and boring after you heard the same sound in set 100x. Many synthesizers have average quality filters (comparing to DSP-chip – Motorola or Sharc, based hardware synthesizers). So we recreated these hardware dsp + analog hardware filters for precise, clean, liquid and sharp sound that cuts through mix.

Psychedelic FM Superesonator do not create FM razor sounds with basic oscillators but use special super additive oscillators where you can „Draw“ your own oscillator! Stunning 128 high resolution drawbars available to create almost unlimited sound variations.

Create FM razor synths in endless sound variations extremely fast, draw your own additive oscillators real-time!

Hey, it's been a while. Here's a chill little jam on the Circuit.

There are a few cuts in the video. To avoid artifacts when transitioning between sessions, I stop playback in one session, let the FX tail off, and switch to the next session. I then combine the old session FX tail and new session in post."

Oberheim Two Voice Pro - TVS Pro 2017

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

via this auction

"This Tom Oberheim TVS-Pro -- or Two Voice Pro-- is in immaculate condition with no issues whatsoever.

It has been professionally used in my synth studio since being brand new in 2017. I'm the original owner. Both SEM's tune perfectly and hold well through hours of use. As you can see, the patch panel really expands the capabilities allowing you to route velocity to different places for example.

Tom Oberheim himself said these were made from the exact same schematics and electronic parts values from the originals. While I haven't tried this myself, apparently an original SEM from the 70's can work if you swap them out. I have used it mostly in "dual mono" mode for the world's best stereo mono synth lines. Duplicating the settings on both SEM's make this a huge stereo sound since each SEM is analog and slightly different. It is in my top 5 synths of all time.

There are less than 250 of these in existence and perhaps the best version of a Two Voice.

It has the final firmware updates: Keyboard v24a and Seq v30 from 2018"

Roland SH-32 Wave Acceleration Synthesizer

"The SH-32 uses new Wave Acceleration Synthesis to overcome the limited polyphony and sounds of modeling-based synths. You get up to 32 voices, plus 67 waveform variations from traditional analog waves to entirely new waveforms like Spectrum and variable Noise. And when combined with the new Subsonic mode found in the suboscillator section, you can create everything from thick bass sounds to entirely new sounds not possible on traditional synthesizers. There’s even drum maps with samples taken from the TR-808/909 Rhythm Composers."
