The World's Biggest Trance Lead?
YouTube via suitandtieguy.
"In this video, I attempt to create the world's biggest trance lead using a Prophet-10 and the STG Soundlabs Radiophonic Accessory System under control of a x0xb0x. I'm not sure if i was successful, but it did sound pretty trancey. Other tools abused in this video include a CR-8000, Juno-6, Mackie mixer, Lexicon MPX-110, and Oktava MK-219 microphone. Modules available at stgsoundlabs.com"

Pretty cool. The trancy lead was great. An mp3 sample would be good so we could enjoy it in all its sonic glory. Actually I liked the CM-8000 as well, it isn't heard that often like this. Very muted sounds which worked for me.
ReplyDeleteit's quite boring without the VO but i can flip that off as an MP3 tomorrow. i would actually like to record a track with this setup because while i set it up to be just an obscene demonstration of the heaviest and most expensive trance lead ever (five grand? six grand? for one voice!) when i got to using it i was amazed at how _good_ it sounded. especially when the filter was further down ... just struck me as a very pretty sound.
ReplyDeletealso Matrix, thanks for the post.
That is some awesome family guy type humor going on
ReplyDeletecheers :P
you should have spread those 20 oscs between like 5 octaves.. that would have been much bigger
ReplyDeleteThe gauntlet's been thrown, Yeti. Do it up. ;-)
ReplyDeleteAlso, glad to see the CR8000 getting some exposure. It's one of my favorite analog drum machines, strictly for the sounds.
dont have that kind of gear laying around, (but i wish i did)
ReplyDeletei can do it thru overdubbing if you want
i'll send matrix a mp3 later tonight
Meh, it's not really big until your 21st sawtooth.
ReplyDelete;-)
S0unds great.
As I commented on Youtube, you probably just have to take something like a MKS-70 which is 12 voices polyphonic with 2 osc for each voice. You can then get a massive 24 saws stacked.. + chorus if needed.
ReplyDeleteThen you may top that, especially if combined with the what Awakaned Yeti suggested.
Regards
The whole time I watched that I was counting in my head how many sawtooth wave sources I have in my studio that I could potentially gang together.
ReplyDeleteNot impressed. Analog synths just don't have the precision for this sort of task.
ReplyDeleteI would rather see the same thing generated with a softsynth.
hmmmm.... my olde kawai sx 240 has 2 osc's plus sub osc plus "brass" (ring mod from osc 1+2) as a seperate source, so.. virtually 4 osc's, 8 x polyphony put that on unison add chorus and pwm... would that beat it osc wise? easily. Soundwise, dunno. The cam mic always makes it sound crappier than it is. Not that your patch is crappy. It's great. Your cam takes the bite off it.
ReplyDeleteI just tried my Andromeda A6 with 16 voices in unison, each with two oscillators and 2 sub oscillators per voice for 64 analog oscillators. I used a little unison detune as well. Sounds pretty good. Now I bet if I record it with my camera mic it'll sound like the Casio Vl-1 lead in Da-Da-Da.
ReplyDeleteMatrix. Maybe you should host an analog "fat sounds" challenge with readers voting on who's the fattest of all (sounds that is). No digital effects processing allowed, and limited to 4 bar riff of the sound. Anyway, something like that might be cool.
ReplyDeleteI'm sure with csound you could do a non-real-time render of a gagillion oscillators, each varying by some random seed modifying the parameters along a Hamiltonian path.
ReplyDelete>>The whole time I watched that I was counting in my head how many sawtooth wave sources I have in my studio that I could potentially gang together.
ReplyDeleteMe too. I counted 50 something, but really it was 12. If we stick to analog, then I am down to 4. This means I need more gear. lol
remember ... "biggest" didn't necessarily mean "most number of sawteeth" ... i was going by sheer weight of the primary oscillator bank.
ReplyDeleteand a Prophet-10 weighs about 200 lbs, so this is currently a tall order.
The thickness of the sound is pretty limited due to that fact that a) these are CEM chips and b) the voices are stacked but not able to be that far detuned like 10 separate modular OSCs could be.
ReplyDeleteThis isn't a trance lead, but my demo of two Oberheim SEMS (4 Oscs) could be one of the fattest analog sound possible without losing cohesion.
