A series of live improvs whilst trying out three new patches made with the superb StereoPing Controller hooked up to a newly overhauled 1987 Böhm Dynamic 4x9.

The Böhm dynamic is turning out to be one of my favourite classic sine-only 4OP FM synths - an amazing 12 YM2203 voice generator chips lurk inside this beast giving up to 36 voices fed into a genuine BBD based analog triple chorus ensemble generator circuit resulting in a textures and colours not so commonly attributed to FM synthesis.

The new StereoPing Controller for the Böhm Dynamic has really opened up this little synth - these three patches popped out of the box in no time at all.  The second patch makes use of the rather unusual Repeat function that automatically retriggers sounds when in sustain at a user defined rate which I have found came make for some interesting evolving/cyclical effects.

Having undertaken several major restorations and produced custom electronic designs for a number of major artists including Jean-Michel Jarre, Dani is also known for fully restoring two out of the world's four remaining 1979 Crumar GDS and partially restoring 1938 Novachord 346 (the only known operational Novachord in the UK) to playable order along with developing and producing the new Elfin family of 8-bit polysynths and the popular MIDI Front Panel Animator (FPA), Filter Defeat Module (FDM) and XD-280 Drive Emulator upgrades for the AKAI S612 sampler.

Pro. music to MIDI conversion
We've been creating this since 1992, a wealth of knowledge and expertise.

Professional quality by professional musicians!
No A.I.-free nor recognition software nor automatic arrangers

GM (General MIDI) compatible, i.e. 99% of music software and hardware
File produced with respect to the original title (or arranged if you wish)
Delay : 4 days approx.
How do we produce our MIDI sequences?

One or several musicians are involved in the production of a MIDI file. It is a work of listening and transcription. We do not use an automatic arranger by entering a grid or chords and its notes with the mouse.

We are reproducing the original title, tone, structure, and style, adapted to the selected instrument- the brass section is not "played" in the same way that a flute or a rhythm guitar is.

We use keyboards as well as the MIDI converters connected to the traditional instruments.

Once your payment has been validated, we'll start working on your conversion.

In a few days' time, you'll receive your multi-track MIDI file.

This MIDI file will include a count-in, a chord grid, and one track per instrument.
