AL-1 for bat & butterflies

If you hear a crash after 32s then this is not in the recorded audio file… it probably was a bat crashing against the window of your studio…. aliasing? ;-)

Korg OASYS + Wavedrum

Posted in OASYS HD-1, MS-20, Music, Audio Demos by blogasys

OASYS_3
OASYS together with MOTU’s dp5.1, PSP’s Vintage Warmer and some UAD Plug Ins

There were always instruments that impressed me. Yamaha’s VL-series is one example, Korg’s Wavedrum another one. The latter I could not afford and unfortunately disappeared to fast from the market without finding a new home in my studio. Now it is no longer available… so in case you know someone who is willing to sell his Wavedrum.. please let me know.

Korg’s Wavedrum had unique sounds of which you can hear some on Eric Persing’s sound collections. The Wavedrum’s pad was of course half of the secret and I am afraid there is no real way to compensate that within OASYS. But the number of different controllers like the VJS together with velocity and aftertouch could make a different approach feasible. Anyway this is not the place for it and there is most likely much more necessary…

Together with Ebse I recorded the following track which consists of Korg sounds only. Not very surprising the drumloop is a Wavedrum sound and even less surprising everything else comes from Korg’s OASYS.

RC’s MOD-7 Demo

Posted in MOD-7, Audio Demos by blogasys

Maybe you listened to some of my MOD-7 demos. Don’t be afraid, there are no more coming!

Now it is RC’s turn.

Why this demo?

I always like to make demo of new synths because lots of people love to listen to demos than sometimes do not come out quickly from manufacturers.

RC's_OASYS

Demo Specs:

16 midi tracks used. You can see on the screenshot which patches i have used. I use the patterns to create different phrases for each sound. I have created 35 patterns for this one what is pretty low in fact and I could have made more variations and so more patterns but it’s not the purpose of this demo. I focused on the sounds, took the ones that really inspired me in the factory loaded bank, 12 MOD7 sounds + 4 drum tracks (HD1).

I have used 9 IFX slots (see screenshot) and all mFX/TFX slots. Concerning IFX you can see that is quite simple and the guitar sounds took almost half of the IFX used.

The complete demo took 25 - 30 hours.

I really like to work with Korg sequencer, beside the fact that of course some functions are lacking, but it’s quite simple, straigh forward, from my point of view, and you can achieve good songs quickly with it.

MOD7:

The sounds are really good and by using only one you can have several sounds ready because of the well programmed realtime controllers, especially the Vector JoyStick which I have used a lot in the sequencer.

If any one has questions about this demo, I will answer of course!

Thank you for listening ;-)

guess what… another MOD-7 audio demo

Posted in MOD-7, Audio Demos by blogasys

Again, I have used only MOD-7 factory sounds with one exception. Starting at around 1:40 until around 2:20 you can hear a MS-20 solo sound. It is getting alive as soon as you start using Bender, Ribbon and Vector Joystick. Everything else is MOD-7 and can be found in the factory sounds. And again, everything is 100% OASYS and was played in a row without quantisation or anything else MIDI related.


MOD-7 demo IV

Addendum:
sounds used
- When a Robot Dreams (Intro)
- Beyond the Clouds (pad playing the harmonies, changed a little bit the EQ for the lower frequencies)
- Lost in an Ion Storm & Convergence (salt & pepper sounds)
- Double Plucked (PPG like sound)
- iRandom pmm solo (MS-20 engine)
