Demo "Song" whimsically titled "Onenotesuponatime"

I am uploading this on the first day of experimenting with a Tom Oberheim SEM Pro analog synthesizer.

You can read more about it here:

This demo is all entirely SEM only, no other processing ( except a limiter ) was used.

What you are hearing is basically everything except the envelope generators ( the MIDI cable I bought didn't fit into the rear panel of the SEM, so I could only "play one note" ).

On display are the Saw and Pulse/Square waveforms, the absolutely astonishing 12dB multi-mode filter ( Low-pass, Notch, High-pass and Bandpass ), oscillator frequency and pulse modulation, filter modulation, oscillator sync, and LFO modulations in basically every combination you could imagine. I wanted to make an extremely comprehensive demo of what's possible with the raw building blocks.

The bass on this thing is INCREDIBLE....
I love the way it kind of talks when you push the oscillator sync and filters together.

I'll post up more once I get the right MIDI cable ;-)

Any questions just let me know.

With over 20 years of production experience, 6 compilation album appearances with 17 released singles, an on-line repertoire of over 62 releases and a genre pool that spans Classical to Drum and Bass - evolutionary theory aka e-theory aka Luke Emrose has had an eclectic and striking production history.

Starting in Adelaide, a chance meeting with Mark7, 5158 Records label owner and 1997-98 Triple J DJ Mix-up contest winner, set in motion a string of events that forever changed the face of the local Adelaide music scene. Along with vocalist Lana, the three were nominated for the 2005 SA Dance Music Awards Local Release of the year for their Drum and Bass anthem - “Like The Sun”, which received world-wide radio and club exposure. Next, collaborating with now-signed Technique Recordings artists D Jon and Skyver and 2003 Australian Idol finalist vocalist Lesley, Emrose co-produced the first ever 5158 Records world-wide Vinyl release, “Gimme Something”, which was later also signed to Technique Recordings via a remix by prolific Perth-based Drum and Bass producer, Phetsta.

Now residing in Sydney, Emrose has composed/produced music for companies like Random House Australia; producing many and varied styles of music for online book marketing campaigns and trailers - from classically inspired Orchestral arrangements to Glitch and Breakbeat jingles whilst also maintaining a regular stream of Drum and Bass releases for the popular 5158 Records CD compilation - ‘Adelaide Drum and Bass’ - now in it’s 6th series (Emrose has contributed 14 singles for the series since it’s inception in 2002), and more recently a string of Trance and Progressive House tunes.

Emrose has recently worked with Lee Safar on the singles "I'm Here" and "We Jump" - both available on Beatport, and is currently hard at work on Lee Safar's up and coming Electronica album.
