Salve intemerata (Thomas Tallis)

A little improvisation done with our new Modulus 002.  One pass, no overdubs, just a bit of delay. Very much a CS80-inspired sound, programmed by Richard Lacy and Sarah MacDonald.

Plug-in Boutique have released VirtualCZ - a new plug-in inspired by an iconic series of digital synthesisers made in the 1980s.  
VirtualCZ uses Phase Distortion - which is similar to FM Synthesis but easier to program. It can make great pads, leads, bass, percussion and RAVE ORGAN sounds that will fit into a wide variety of genres. Many people fondly remember the CZ synths and they have become retro-classics that are highly sought after, having been used on countless techno, house, rave and synth-pop records in the late 80s and early 90s. Lots of artists still use them today for their unique sounds.
The synthesis engine of the original hardware is modelled in the plug-in which can load and transmit CZ SYSEX patches, but the plug-in goes beyond the hardware to offer new sound possibilities and usability features. It’s much more fun to edit, since all the important synthesis parameters have their own control. It includes things not found on the originals such as switchable envelope generators (ADSR or 8-Stage MSEG) and Unison modes.
Developed by Oli Larkin (www.olilarkin.co.uk) with graphics by Philippe Decuyper (www.eareckon.com), VirtualCZ will ship with a library of great presets offering both retro and modern sounds by Plug-in Boutique's sound designers and artists.
VirtualCZ comes in VST2, VST3, Audio Unit and AAX plug-in formats plus Standalone app for Mac and PC. 

VirtualCZ is available to purchase now exclusively from www.pluginboutique.com for £59 / $99.

Don Solaris - VirtualCZ Demo 1

For the iPad Musician Group
Though this is not iPad related, it's my current favorite patch.
I'm using a modified version of the CS Lead from the Vintage Synth Expansion Card in my Roland JV-2080. I've tweaked the attack envelope and the cutoff and resonance of the filter and I'm sweeping the filter in real-time via the mod wheel on my controller. The reverb is a modified patch on my Boss SE70 with a 10-second decay. Pure Wet. :)

AZS - Halcyon For Xfer Serum

Maybe I was inspired a bit by Pink Floyd.  Either way, it's analog and melancholy.  Oberheim OB-Xa run through a Strymon BigSky pedal.

All this building has us running around, so we thought it was time for some music. 
Here's a track composed entirely on 002 by Ben Crosland

A composer of original music, Kalin Ivanov (www.reverbnation.com/kalin) works both independently and in collaboration with other artists. Beyond Rites (www.reverbnation.com/beyondritesproject) is a project with a Bulgarian singer bringing together an unusual mix of vocals and ambient compositions while his individual work combines electronic and soundtrack influences. Kalin has recently completed a soundtrack for a hypnotherapy CD.

'Solar Pulse' uses the 002 as the backbone of the track supported by Access Virus TI2 Polar, Nord Lead 3, Waldorf Blofeld, Korg Radias and Moog Slim Phatty. The 002 is used for the main arpeggios and sequences, most of the effects (noise) and some of the pads.  The 002 arpeggios are linked by midi to sounds from other synths as this gives more flexibility.

Kalin Ivanov - SolarPulse

002 in performance mode, keyboard is split with a bass sound at one end and a string sound at the other and a third sound (kid gloves) is playing an arpeggio across the whole keyboard range.
