Morning routine with OB-6 and Yamaha reface CP - tribute to Phil Glass

video upload by Franz Schimmel

"This is my tribute to the music of Philipp Glass - an experiment in sequencing and repeating... ;-)

It was done in 2 layers, so i could overdub the sequence with a grand piano which comes from Yamaha reface CP."

"Very rare/ Uncommon early-80s drum synth capable of some wild sounds from full-bodied electronic throbs to wild space-age squeaks and bleeps.

Made famous by Joy Division on their Unknown Pleasures album by producer Martin Hannett who used it as part of the wild industrial sound on the album. New Order also made use of these unusual machines.

Features two analogue oscillators with sensitivity, sweep range, sweep time, decay time, volume controls and a pickup input for each oscillator.

The envelope depends on the input source like an envelope follower.

Great for booming kicks and toms, all the way to sweeping laser blasts.

Sounds can be triggered by microphone/pickup or synth gate/trigger.

Synth can be turned on via foot switch."

video upload by gstormelectro

"Audio + Video by G-Storm Electro c. 2024

Today I give you an introductory series of videos covering Modular Synthesis 101. This course is for anyone who's been mildly curious about modular synthesizers. Maybe you've seen your favorite musician like Johnny Greenwood using a modular synthesizer at a show. And always wondered what does all this stuff do? I'm here to demystify it for you. Today we'll start with some basic terminology and a typical synth patch. What is a typical synthesis setup? What are the kinds of modules in that setup? What will we learn moving forward?"
