Omega Man

Once again I’m on the inside — lookin’ out looking in.

SEM-filtered CODE Omega8 & @saintregis (Instagram) bring the water and its spirit to my eyes.

Single track purity, polyphonic power and purpose: sometimes it's disclosed like that.

Minimal sweetening, limiting and spot normalization, so do enjoy the wide dynamic range and culmination—now with bonus audio!

MSR Christmastime '22

CODEberheim 8

First solo Omega offering still sounds stunning 21 years later.

A few secrets, snips, reverses, in-song overlays, a touch of EQ, limiting, and “Gaucho” right-side-wet, make for a nice 90 (sec).

And yes that patch change madness was tracked in real time—sans punches.

Stock SEM & Mini SE filters…

Enjoy,
MSR

Phat Fu '23

Came across this dope Ebm @MonteNeuble SE-3X  bassline, in my needle drop travels, which I had to revisit and enlist in a pulsed paraphonic exaltation in DMaj; silky chord changes from “Onward Upward UFO,” a song written & produced in the late 1970s for the St. Regis brothers, by wonderful friend and Parcourse/health food store mentor, Norman H. Landsberg, assisted that sneaky downward modulation. 

The great James Levi (Herbie Hancock fame) and strongman Gary Calvin (on bass) kept the groove going at Bear West Studios in San Francisco—1st 24 track baptism, where “UFO” was recorded—and we brothers have tried to keep the funk analog ever since. Clavinet D6 is still with us: the one Norman unveiled at St. Regis & Leuenberger and taught us to play; ‘cause he was nice with it, "Cry Baby" style.

Celebrating his remarkable life earlier this month—brilliantly and with panache, thanks to Bob Yount (Landsberg & Yount) and Socorro!—brought his lovely spirit, song, and surprising, vast accomplishments to mind:

Founding member of Mountain, featuring Leslie West; Pointer Sisters MD—“Yes We Can Can…”, Lenny Willams (Tower of Power); sampled by Jay-Z (99 Problems), Kanye West, Tribe Called Quest—heard in films like "Barbershop" and "The Taking of Pelham 123.”

His group Hammer opened up for Leon Russell AND Miles Davis at Fillmore West… Wut!?!

“When tears come, remember brighter smiles can then show."

Miss them when they are here; that’s the Power of Love—which evrybody needs.

SoundCloud's data compression scheme... wow.

The foundation for this distinctly Analogian adventure is the Boomstar 3003 crunch 'n chunk sound, warmed-up nicely by Slate Digital's "Virtual Tape Machine." I intended to accent it merely with the ATC-1-ish cross-mod vocal sound lead work (way back in early Sept.), which re-interprets my uber-talented friend Grecco Burrato's rich and rootsy guitar solo at 2:29 in my CODE-filtered Theriot offering (http://studioelectronics.com/assets/Audio/CODEfilteredTheriot.mp3), but I kept getting pulled back into the power and poetry of the B*s circuits and smashing performance-centered feature set.

The jazzy polyphony heard at the beginning after my Uncle Mario's chuckles (more from him later, much more), is all Boomstar 5089, arranged on piano and tracked one note at a time—credit DP8's split notes feature; patience and persistence make pretty, and we are off to the races: the twin herculean pillars of 3003 rhythm and lead making friends along the way with slidey, glidey, echoey, multi-tracked B* 5089 / 1970's slippery, synthy goodness, B* 4075's punchy percolated arpeggiations, square-waved octaved finger bass, B* SE-80's rim shots, tablas, claps, 70's and 80's session snares, tuned "Tubaleans" kicks-basses, major toms, SEM  hi hats and crashes, all of which thins out dramatically at 3:06 for the 5089/SE80/4075/SEM bass and beats break—picked up by those 5089 faux muted guitars—commencing the beginning of the culmination, or so it seems.  Really, the show is just getting started with the 5089 holding court with its sweet and foxy leads on the run—love that "The Sweet" joint, a radio rediscovery one schoolday morning which revitalized and repurposed the back nine of “The Talking Booms,” called again upon the ARP-peggiations, Glam Synth drive, and clearing the mind for the late 99 year Oracle at Cleveland: Uncle M.

What are we learning?  What are we storing up inside?

Thanks for the listening and read,

p.s. Apart from DP and various audio plugins—my DAW was my friend—everything is Boomstar, apart from a backwards piano snippet from a rejected short film score of mine, and the snappy kick drum, hit by our Fox mic pre, and wrapped with several 4075 and SE80 kicks, when things get Marley.  Oh yes, and brilliant cousin Eve (Capretta) Rouveral does the marvelous Mario mining.

ADAGIO FOR FEEDBACK

I’d like to believe Samuel Barber’s Adagio for strings cast a tender shadow on these changes & groove of mine.

Listening to Bernstein’s baton as I write this…. glorious.

CODE8: Strings mainly recorded in mono—not sure why—stereo flute/vibraphone/celeste colors, Crystal Manson “horn” blasts, Monte Moir rhythms, locked-to-clock LFO pulses, band pass rebels, reversed and initially randomly-sourced passages. AND FEEDBACK!—Crunch chords for key-man on their black ’n’ white island.

Boomstar SE-80: Snares, perc.

SE-3X: Hats, big bass note.

Grecco Burrato: Unarchived ModMax Pedals-blessed guitars.

SE-02: Immaculate basses and leads.

Stay tuned for the Prequel.

Prequel And Adagio For Feedback

Studio Electronics Code 8 CS80 filter demo

A little different from the ones posted from other people. I mix in the High Pass filter halfway through, with resonance on max. Not unlike the Andromeda's 12db filter in sound in some ways 

Studio Electronics Code 8 CS80 filter

Studio Electronics Omega  Code8 Filter demo

A dual Sawtooth sequence 
Order of filters - Moog, Arp2600, CS80, SEM LPF, SEM BPF, SEM HPF, SEM Band reject
then CS80 with it's High pass filter engaged and tweaked.

Then more normal playing with the filters in the same order more or less

Studio Electronics Code 8 filter demo - Mini, Arp2600, CS80, SEM

A little shootout between the standard Mini 24db low pass filter and the optional Arp2600 24db low pass filter.A single oscillator sawtooth + sub-oscillator used hereThe Mini filter is a bit smooth and tame for high resonance sounds. I much prefer the Arp2600 filter, and should have come as standard for a better all round 24db low pass filter IMO


Shades of Juno106 with ARP2600 filter :)


Studio Electronics CODE8 - Mini vs Arp2600 filter

Putting the Studio Electronics Code 8 and CS80 filter through it's paces, along with testing Sonar X1 to see if it will become my preferred DAW + Sequencer
Code 8 defintely has a big sound....Sonar X1's sequencing seems pretty robust and nice as well

No compression or EQ used.


SE Code8 CS80 filter TEST

Someone requested a solo Arp2600 filter demo on the Code 8
here it is - there is some delay added, just to make it less boring

Single sawtooth, legato and glide some VCO2 to filter crossmodulation, sub-oscillator, then dual sawtooth

Soundcloud processing makes it a bit fuzzy - 24 bit original file download available
