Name: Prophet Optimal Gain Master 1 by The Hyperreal
Duration: 4 min 14 s
Description: Maximum gain (oscillators full volume, VCA envelope full) versus optimized gain (oscillators 65%, VCA 65%) comparison

This helped me emmensly with my Prophet 6 programing. A lot of the comments on some of my Carpenter patches were that the filter was being driven too hard...this helps for sure. Thank you.

A simple Music Easel patch into a Pigtronix Echolution Ultra Pro. Both the Easel and delay were real-time twiddled. For the introduction I slapped the Music Easel to vibrate the spring reverb. :)

Recording chain: Easel > Echolution2 > UA Apollo Twin Duo

No EQ or compression used, but Slate VTM, VCC, and FG-X were put on the track and buss for vibe.
