synth demos

Theme for a film noir spy thriller set in 1980's East Germany.

This track heavily features the STS Serge Modular synthesizer. 

Eigengrau / темно-серый

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.

Life in the Universe (Waldorf Q)

Some sounds that I programmed with my DSI Prophet '08 analog synthesizer. More sounds compared to the first upload. Totally unquantized, recorded while testing the sounds.

F5D - Prophet '08 Demo

All sounds programmed using DSI Prophet 08 analog synthesizer. Sound goes through TC Electronic D-Two delay, some reverb and compression/limiting.

F5D Prophet 08 CTR Demo

A short demo that I recorded using my custom Prophet 12 patches, multitracked in logic with some fx. Thank you Dave Smith and DSI for this synthesizer!

Prophet 12 Demo

My attempt to synthesize / program Boards of Canada (BOC) -style sounds using DSI Prophet 12 digital / analog hybrid synthesizer. No preset sounds of the synthesizer were used, only my custom BOC-inspired sounds programmed from scratch. In addition, I used some sounds that I had recorded using a Zoom H1. I have been listening to BOC alot lately while walking in the nature, and truely enjoy their work and style. The cover photo is a front cover of an actual photo album from the 70's, purchased from Canada.

Prophet 12 - Canada (BoC)

In this recording I quickly test some of my custom Prophet 12 sounds with two analog BBD delays. As we know, the new DSI Pro 2 has a digital BBD emulation. This is Prophet 12 with two real analog BBD delays configured in stereo. With pads, it can sound almost like a reverb. No unison was used in any of the sounds. No reverb was used in any part of the recording. In some of the sounds, there is a 4-stage phaser in use with low speed setting. Surprisingly there is no noise or hum at all, when driving the pedals with T-rex 9 VDC PSU. Still need to sort out a minor clipping issue.

i completely reworked a idea i had before.. 


R-Babicz - Far Away /BETA

Prophet 12 Wavemorph Pads

Petite ballade en The River avec juste le preset "just Plate" de la PCM 91  (débarquée de justesse avec des bouées en ce jour humide...)
Quelques frissons quand même aux commandes de The River ;)
La compression altère pas mal le signal,  mais promis, c'est terrible !!!!

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.

Here is a recording of me playing through the sequences for the patches I made for this monster synth.
