Some custom digital choir and hybrid FM patches for the Novation Peak. 
Thanks to Antti Huovilainen for requesting the demo, and subsequently some editing and cleanup.

Novation Peak: Custom Choirs (& More) Demo

Uploaded to demonstrate the differences between Behringer's Model D and Poly D. 

Similar performances are made here on the Model D and then the Poly D with identical settings - starting with the mixer levels around 7 and raising to 10, playing the filter cutoff and resonance, before bringing in headphone feedback. Additionally some play with the envelopes. bringing decay down from 600ms to 10ms (according to the panel)

Sequence comes from Arturia Keystep Pro via CV to the Model D and via MIDI to the Poly D. 
Audio was recorded into Roland Studio Capture 16. 
Oscillators 1, 2, and 4 are used on the Poly D only.
Both machines were tuned immediately prior to recording began but the audio had to be re-pitched by 20 cents in either direction after recording due to drift. 

The Poly D has significantly different gain-staging in the mixer and filter-VCA section which does not drive the filter as hard as the Model D. This in my opinion leads to a less authentic Model D sound, despite the obvious superior form-factor and other features. It's a shame because the Poly D could be the perfect Minimoog alternative, but the Behringer Model D clearly delivers the more authentic Minimoog sound characteristics.

Behringer Model-D vs Poly-D

Techno and psy styles collide in this quickly recorded and surprisingly well mixed jam track. 

Behringer Poly D bringing up the bass. 
Arturia Drumbrute Impact providing the drums (with heavy multitracked DAW processing) and eurorack providing some other sounds and techno vibes.

Psyeonics

Guitar&Synth jam from back in 2014.

Back Of The Mind

Something a bit different for me. Looking for feedback. 
If you leave a comment I will return the favour.

Application Underground - WIP

This is a little WIP made from several sessions of live (single take) overdubs. Most of the sounds in here come from the MS2000B pictured, and naturally all (but one) of the sounds are programmed by myself. 

At first I named the track having started recording too late in the evening. The future reference came later. I think it makes a nice soundtrack-type theme with a bit of an 80s vibe perhaps, but in a more modern style. 

Too Late (2056 AD)

Here's one from 2008!
Main instruments are Korg Radias, MicroKorg, and a Korg TR61 (Basically a Triton LE)

Inspired by a train journey from Bristol Temple Meads, this track is supposed to evoke images of 21st century British rail travel, featuring large dirty spaces and some rhythmic experimentation.

Trains - Rails Pt 1 (2008)

Dark pulsing soundscape from the modular (with the recently added Korgasmatron II filter) and cheesy brass from Prophet12 and Peak layered together. Minilogue is sequencing the modular and throwing in its own sawtooths from time to time.

Sound Test 20200826

Music Thing Modular Turing machine driving Radio Music and a single oscillator lead/bass line, serious ambient vibes run through Eventide Blackhole reverb.

Inky Blackness

funky 80s synth bass and stabs from the Novation Peak, over a 707 drum loop. 
Eventide Blackhole reverb with excessive cassette tape saturation and chorusing finish off the retro atmosphere of this short jam.

Peaked

Hard hitting industrial techno jam. 90BPM. 
7 minute live jam with some edits and minimal extra layering. 
Instruments: Drumbrute Impact (with light randomization), Moog Mother32, & Moog DFAM (with some additional processing)
