Testing out my beloved 1986 Prophet VS after replacing all of the tantalum capacitors.  Twice in as many months this beast had let the smoke out due to failing caps so I though it was high time I did something about it!

This is a patch I programmed a few months ago whilst trying out the superb new Stereoping hardware patch editor - heck did that little box open up this wonderful digital-analog hybrid vector synth...

I have always liked the sonic aesthetics of cold crunchy digital into warm analog filters!

Ils produisent une synthpop mélodique moderne, punchy, aux arrangements minutieux.

D.A.Wilson is an Electronic Engineer, Sound Designer & Vintage Synth Specialist with a particular interest in combining vintage tube, classic analog and modern digital technologies working as a synth engineer looking after a very considerable amount of vintage studio equipment for Will Gregory (Goldfrapp / Moog Ensemble) and a number of other internationally celebrated electronic musicians and producers.  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.
