Variations on a Theme . . .
Developed from the track in my last post, I slowed the tempo right down and extended the progression and worked on some additional sounds. The Erica Synths Black Sequencer makes so much difference as I can now work on four tracks simulataneously rather than having to build up the track from separate passes from mono […]
More Adventures . . .
. . . with Erica Synths Black Sequencer – with modular, Dark Energy and SyntrxII. Realise that I now need at least one more VCA and more long patch cables!
Ooooh! Black Sequencer
Just experimenting with a new sequencer – this is probably the most sophisticated one I have ever used – and I have quite a few. It is the Erica Synths Black Sequencer. What an amazing piece of kit! Running four outputs from my modular it really lends itself to performance, so this was just a […]
It’s About Time . . .
Several sequences all of different lengths from the Arturia Keystep sequencer. Particularly pleased with the opening sound which is from the AJH V Shape – I really like this module! Other parts from Syntrx II (of course!), ARP 2600M and the now almost vintage Doepfer Dark Energy. Oh and Nightverb might be in there somewhere […]
Klee – My Favourite Sequencer 2
Based around my favourite Eurorack sequencer, the Klee, which employs two shift registers and a somewhat quirky method of producing three separate gates and triggers which takes a bit of getting used to! The main sequences are going through the AJH V-Shape and out through NightVerb. The swirling pads are from Syntrx II and the […]
Even More SyntrxII + Nightverb
Keeping it ‘in the family’ this track was created with just Erica Synths SyntrxII and Nightverb – two passes. It is just so ‘hands on’ and has become my favourite synth (apart from my modular of course!).
More Adventures with SyntrxII + Nightverb
Having lots of fun with Erica Synths Nightverb which here I am using with my SyntrxII. Five tracks recorded into ProTools and just a little delay from the synth – no other fx. Been searching for the ultimate reverb for a while, in both hardware and software and I think that Nightverb might just be […]
New Toy: Nightverb!
Just arrived today – Nightverb from Erica Synths. Seems to be a very well designed piece of kit where the menu diving is pretty straightforward. One really good feature is the ‘pot catch’ popup where when adjusting a parameter that was saved with the preset, the value is displayed (as a dial) so you can […]
Theremin For Dummies
My faithful studio assistant Grian improvises on the Moog Etherwave, quantized and going through Mutable Instruments Rings:-
Latest Acquisition – AJH Sonic XV
Just exploring the SonicXV from AJH. More than just a filter with wave shaping with a second waveshaper on the resonance circuit! Wow! The multi-tracked sequences are mostly going through the Sonic XV and the floaty stuff is from Syntrx2. I used various outputs from Mannequins Just Friends module to modulate the filter.
