New G-Storm Sound Patches | Isla ASYX Virtual Synthesizer [Demo 01]

Today I am auditioning some of the presets I made with the ASYX virtual instrument plugin from Isla Instruments. ASYX is an emulation of the Andromeda A6 synthesizer. All of my previously released patches made for the Andromeda have been ported over to ASYX, and are included in ASYX with my expressed permission. This video exhibits previously unreleased new patches made on the ASYX during beta testing. It's been a dream to once again lose myself programming sounds - often times forgetting that it is a virtual instrument. As usual audio is recorded direct, no post FX except normalization, listen w/ quality monitors or headphones recommended, watch your levels - some sections have harsh noise and high-frequency content. In full disclosure no money has been paid to me for promotion, product placement nor sponsorship to this video content.

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.

Kawai K1m Retro Digital Synth Euphoria Desktop Module

Today I'm auditioning my original patches made for the Kawai K1m. A very limited digital synth from the 90s. And yet after digging into the architecture was able to harness some very powerful and unique features that are really, I mean, REALLY surprising. You'll hear some cheesy things, some pads, basses. And then there's fat poly action, swirling digital synth soundscapes. And alive motion things that are frankly astounding for such an unassuming little black box. Try to keep in mind when you hear the Mesmerized patch - the K1m has no sequencer nor arpeggiator. No freely assignable LFOs, just a fixed vibrato and that's it. And NO filter ha! Be sure to watch the whole video, lots of my favorites are on the 2nd half starting @3:19. My favorites are Head East, LA Sunset, Liquide and Mesmerized...which ones did you like?

Three 101-VCF Modules Polyphonic Filter Demo 03 (Roland SH-101)

Today I deploy THREE 101-VCF modules for some polyphonic synth music.
The three filters are getting their CVs round-robin much like a polyphonic synthesizer distributes their voices.
To do this I use the sequential switch to rotate the firing of envelope contours going to each 101-VCF.

Pittsburgh Synth Box - 101-VCF #1
DNA Symbiotic Waves - 101-VCF #2
Rozendall CEM3340 VCO - 101-VCF #3
Bass - Behringer Model D
Pads - Roland Juno-1
Envelope Contours - 2xADSR dual envelope
Sequencing - Arturia Beatstep Pro Pitch CV and clock
Kick - Future Retro Transient
Hats - Tiptop Hats909
Additional percussion - Roland TR-606
Delay - Timefactor
Small amount of Reverb - Strymon Big Sky

Recorded live in one shot.
