A playlist of stuff that I have recorded with my DSI Prophet 12 polysynth. Only custom patches have been used. Addtional digital or analog chorus, delay, reverb and compression have been used to get the sound closer to real life use of the synth.

***Been wondering where the huge explosion in plays came from and have just realized 'Swimming Lessons' is in the trending music section! Thanks to everyone who listened that got it there!***

This is the first track off my first EP, 'Kooyong'. It was written and recorded on the road while travelling around the world.

Here's the 2nd track 'Summerkiller'

Swimming Lessons

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 texture sound that I programmed for DSI Prophet 08 analog synth. Watch your speaker levels for surprises!

F5D Prophet 08 CTR Textures

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

Synth strings patch that I programmed with DSI Prophet 12. The sound uses only 1 layer, no unison, all mod matrix slots in use. The idea was to emulate kind of broken strings with some tape / vinyl or "belt-drive" disturbances. The stronger you play, the more broken the sound gets. No pitchbend wheel was used during playing. The keys are from Aly & Fila remix of Tarja Turunen's song, of which name I do not remember right now.

At Home In The Clouds

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.

F5D Prophet 12 Stereo BBD-delays

Whilst writing the score for Holy Ghost this Spring, Wall of Fire emerged. I had some time to clean it up and add depth and presence from the DSI Prophet 12 (and a few Moog patches as well). This is one of my favorite genres to write - electrocinematic. Close your eyes and let it take you away...

Wall of Fire

Just something I made when I was bored, nothing spectacular in terms of production as that was not the point.

Midi synth music thing

A beautiful chord sequence played with a DX7 MIDI'ed up to a SCI Prophet12, then sampled, then played in a custom ROMpler with stereo Chorus and Reverb.

Prophet12 + DX7 Piano and Pad

Organic pad-sound that I programmed using DSI Prophet 12 hybrid synthesizer. The sound uses only a single layer (3 osc + noise) with no unison, but utilizes nearly all mod matrix slots, audio rate fm and the tuned feedback that give the sound organic and unstable character. Parameters are controlled by velocity and aftertouch.
