Elektron Analog 4

Feb. 15, 2015: New mixdown with the Roland Motional Surround® and RSS® technology (Not optimized for headphones).
The RSS-10 is a single rack space unit that utilizes Roland's proprietary three-dimensional sound processing technology. Using a conventional two-channel system, sound can be placed or moved anywhere in the three-dimensional field.
The Motional Surround (inside the Integra 7) is derived from Roland’s proprietary RSS (Roland Sound Space) technology. Lets you control not only the left/right panning of sounds, but also their depth, even placing them behind you.

About the track:
I started making electronic music (using Atari/Amiga and few synths) when I was 13 and have created a remake of my very first track.
I grew up listening to Jean Michel Jarre who has been one of my inspirations.
I went back in time to bring out the song I first created...
and brought back to life a soundtrack I want share with you.

Synthetizers used:
Elka Synthex, Waldorf Q, Roland JP8000, Moog Voyager, Korg Wavestation A/D, Nordlead 4, Memotron, Kurzweil K2600xs, Roland Integra 7, Roland JD800, Yamaha CS6R.

KVR OSC 150 - One Synth Challenge
51 instances of TAL NoiseMaker

The One Synth Challenge is a monthly competition at KVR audio forum.  Every month a synth is chosen, you may use only that synth to compose a song.  You may use free and stock FX, but for mixing purposes and not to drastically alter the sound of the synth, or do sound design that you can't do with the synth alone.

An awesome synth, and free too

The One Synth Challenge is a monthly contest on the KVR audio forum:
https://www.kvraudio.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=1&t=569994

Each month a synth is chosen, and contestants must make an entire track using only that synth for all parts.  This is my entry for OSC 151

Aiyn Zahev - Equinox

The original Alesis Andromeda Trance sounds demo that I posted on Anjunabeats, Gearslutz and Trance.nu forums. The demo consists of a random selection of my personal trance sounds programmed with an Alesis Andromeda A6 analog synthesizer approximately during years 2004-2007, while listening to A State of Trance radio shows by Armin van Buuren, when Trance music was still good and made with soul. I recorded these clips mostly when testing the sounds, so some clips are quantised, some are not. Most sounds have chorus / phaser, delay and reverb in use + compression / limiting. I still have the Andy sitting here by my side, running strong. Will replace the electrolytic capacitors as a preventative maintenance soon.

Elektron Analog Four/Keys Sound Pack (Don't Copy That Floppy) Demo

First song with my Elektron A4. I am hoping to produce a nice bank for this. It's a very deep synth, both in terms of it's synthesis capabilities and it's sound.

This recording is straight from the outs into Cubase. Elysia Alpha (Chickenwings) on the master bus followed by FabFilter Pro-L doing 1-2dB GR max.

Elektron Analog Four

All patches (except drums) are made with Elektron Analog Keys and his LP2 multimode filter

Yazoo – Don't Go (Cover made with Elektron Analog Keys except drums)

analog rythm #1 (feat. elektron analog rytm) LIVE CUT

analog rythm #2 dubside (feat. elektron analog rytm)

I decided to put the Pro-2 to test.  The track is 100% Pro-2 except the drums.  Some Eq, compression and external reverb applied but nothing crazy.

A piece made up of a multi-tracked Sub37, with some delay, reverb and EQ applied.

これまでポストパンクやシューゲイザーなどのジャンルで広く認識されていたジェレミー・トイ（以下、ジェレミー）率いるバンドShe's So Radは今回のE.P.制作にあたり自身が深く精通する80'sディスコやブギーサウンドのテイストを取り入れスペシャルなディスコサウンドを制作。ジェレミーは今回のレコーディングにおいてMoog、DMX、Drumtraks等のヴィンテージのアナログシンセ、エフェクター、ドラムマシーンなど使用し、ニュージーランドオークランドにある映画館跡の地下スタジオで自らそれらの楽器を演奏しすべて録音。80'sの録音手法を再現する為に、コンピューターのシンセサイザーやサンプリングマシーンの一切の使用を避け、本物のミュージシャンが本物の楽器を使うスタイルで当時のリアルな音を再現。ジェレミーは「ポストパンクのバンドがライブでブギーをプレーできるなんて最高だよね。ロックバンドがブギーミュージックに持ち込めるエナジーって言ったらスゴいんだよ。＜Marcus Miller＞や＜Tom Browne＞よりも＜E.S.G＞や＜Talking Heads＞みたいな生の荒々しいの感覚に近くなってると思うんだよね。勿論＜Marcus Miller＞や彼らからもこのE.Pを作るに辺りスゴい影響は受けてるんだけどね・・」

ゲストプレイヤーとしてご存じデトロイト出身で現在はニュージーランド（オークランド）を拠点に活動するプロデューサーRecloose（リクルース）がDisco Star(B3)にサックスプレイヤーとして、そしてLive Via Camloops(B1)にキーボード・プレイヤーのステップ・ブラウン aka Lipsが参加。マスタリングはJ Dilla、Quasimoto、J Roccなどストーンズスロー作品等も手掛けるLAのマスタリングエンジニア、Dave Cooleyが担当。

She's So Rad - Last Dance E.P. (WN12030)

Until now, the band She’s So Rad have been synonymous with post/punk,shoegaze music. With the ‘Last Dance E.P.’ producer Jeremy Toy has dug deep in his knowledge of disco and boogie to create a ‘special disco version’ release for the band. The result is a 6 track E.P. full of disco/boogie heat.

Last Dance E.P. has been created entirely with analog synths, live instruments and 1980’s era specific drum machines all performed by Jeremy Toy, recorded in his studio beneath a rundown cinema in his hometown of Auckland, New Zealand. There is no use of soft-synths or software based samplers as Toy wanted to deliver a record that was made “like they used to make records” with real musicians playing real instruments. The heart of this record is a Moog synthesizer, DMX and Drumtraks drum machines. Vocals are performed by Anji Sami and Jeremy Toy in unison to create their unique vocal sound.

The record has been made at the highest fidelity possible, 24bit 88.2khz, so that the vinyl pressing can be as sonically full and as close to reality as a digital recording can be.These songs have been transformed live by the band and the band can now play disco party sets on request as an alternative to their shoegaze sets. Toy has said
of this change “it is such a great thing to be able to play this live boogie with a band that is used to playing post punk music, the energy a rock band brings to the boogie music is great, we end up with a live sound that is much closer to the raw feeling of E.S.G. or Talking Heads than the super smooth boogie of Marcus Miller and Tom Browne although these artists are also big influences on the E.P.” The E.P. has guest appearances from Recloose - saxophone on ‘Disco Star’ and Steph Brown (aka Lips) - Sequential Circuits Pro-One synth wobbles on ‘Live Via Camloops’.No stranger to a large variety of genres of music, Toy is a past participant at the Red Bull Music Academy and has produced records for Opensouls, Tyra Hammond & The Tornadoes, Ladi6, Lips,Hollie Smith and The Sami Sisters as well as appearing on records by Julien Dyne, Liam Finn, Electric Wire Hustle, Homebrew, David Dallas and Mark De Clive-Lowe.
