Submariners - By Drew Neumann

Demo of DSI Pro-2. Everything is 100% Pro 2 including effects and drums. 

DSI Pro 2 - 12 minus 1 equals 2

Just the Modulus (Modal?) 002. 

Onboard sequencer loops and animator layers sync'd to midi clock from the DAW.  There's lots of reverb on this, but no  delay, even though it sounds like it. That effect comes entirely from the animator driving oscillator note offsets and letting decaying notes overlap each other.

5 tracks of pure un-effected Ensoniq ESQ-1.

Ensoniq ESQ-1

A live improvisation by D.A.Wilson on an extremely rare 1982 Buchla 400-T computer controlled 6-voice hybrid synth (digital "arbitrary" oscillators into analog filters) running MIDAS-III complete with flat pressure sensitive Touch Controller housed in a custom Teak solid wood cabinet awakens during return to operation and overhaul and Lotharek Rev.F HxC virtual floppy disk retrofit at Hideaway Studio.

The touch keyboard was a nightmare to get used and it took a great deal of my concentration to perform this as the pressure-to-pitch modulation was pretty intense on the patch I'd dialled in that day but it certainly resulted in something from the heart.  The highly responsive playing surface opens up some interesting possibilites for expressive patch design and playing!

Kawai K3 - Analog Brass
Cutting K3 brass sample with soft solo parts inbetween. The instrument’s dynamic range is impressive.

Kawai K3 - 3 Track Layer
3 Kawai K3 tracks. Organ-like sound, random filter modulation effect and PPG-like track.

Kawai K3 - Robert Wittek Patches
Part of Robert Witteks excellent K3 audio workshop. 

Kawai K3 - Stereoping Live Editing 
Stereoping programmer used for K3 realtime-access. This knob-per-function environment turns the Kawai in a much more flexible musical instrument.

Kawai K3 - Vangelis
… sure, this is no Yamaha CS-80. Anyway, the K-3 can produce some tasty lead sounds à la Vangelis.

This is a compilation of parts from recordings I made when creating patches for the Prophet X synthesizer. I recorded much more, but edited down to the the best bits. There are no additional effects or processing. All effects are from the synth itself.

DISCLAIMER: There is no particular musicianship in these demos. They were recorded whilst patching mostly with one hand on the keyboard and the other hand tweaking knobs. The purpose of uploading is to give an idea of the tone, sound and character of the Prophet X as explored by one sound designer.

Dave Smith Instruments Prophet X Demo

This demo is a bit rougher than the first. Culled from patch creation sessions you will notice some distortion and clicks/pops. I felt the sounds were interesting enough to record warts and all.

Sequential Prophet-X Demo 2

brief ambient ham with few patches i've done on Casio HT6000.

4 digital oscillators with 2x32 waveforms running into a lovely 
analog filter and vca, velocity controllable.   full polyphonic, i.e. 
it has 8 filters, unlike its paraphonic brethren HT700 and HT3000. 

each osc is detunable and transposable over great range so with 
four of them i was able to do some additive colours.

Casio HT6000 - few patches

Some custom Pads with internal chorus and delay, but none external. The first patch for example is without internal chorus.
