Behringer 2-XM Four Voice Poly Action Using CV.OCD [Demo 01]

Today I'm employing a Sixty Four Pixels CV.OCD to distribute CV/gate amongst two Behringer 2-XM synths for proper Four Voice allocation. As of today the 2-XM firmware on its own does not support individual voice allocation this way. And THIS is very much what I signed up for: stereo panning each voice however I want, pulling out notes of a sequence/chord using filter and envelope controls per voice, and slight variations in the voicings giving rise to an analog sound that is very much alive. Even when the sequence is just arpeggiating a single note value, the variations suggest movement as you will hear.

All audio recorded direct to iPhone via Roland GO:MIXER Pro-X. No sound effects are applied, some normalization in post processing. Signals were sub-mixed on a Soundcraft EPM6 mixer, no added EQ. Sequencing by Arturia Keystep Pro.

Update from the Studio Lab 8/27/2025

Hello there. Module Availability Re-stocks: Gyrinx-VCF, Influx Mixer, Pro ADSR.

A Sequential/Oberheim OB-6 has landed in the studio. Had to trade my Juno-60 for it, but it was absolutely the right fit for me and the other party as well. This synth is definitely made for me, can't remember ever getting on so well with any synth as the OB-6 holy moly! I have quickly shaken 60 thrilling patches out of my sleeve - and when I have a full set of 100 soon I will issue my Quintessential Synth Soundset on Gumroad. Expect it will be $20, I say without ego worth every red cent when you experience some demos of what's going on here. I am also working on other sound sets like Juno-106 bank 1, and JX-3P. Thank you so much for your continued orders and support.

Oberheim Matrix-12 Synthesizer Demo #7

The Oberheim Matrix-12 was cooperating today, so I thought I better make a video before something happens again. Using some reverb and delay, recorded direct and no audio post processing.

Alesis Andromeda Unleashes Enormous Pad Soundscapes Demo #4

Did you know I have some interesting things listed on Reverb? Check it out now. The Alesis Andromeda synthesizer unleashes huge pad soundscapes. These pads range from OMG to WTF, and cut a swath right through the mix. So hide your daughters and cherished pets. I was going to do a Matrix-12 demo but that synth bricked this past weekend. Hence the sarcasm and sad face :( These are not your factory sounds. Audio recorded direct to Tascam DR-05 through a Mackie mixer.
