Hardware Synths Demos

Electronic and Experimental

I feel so lucky to have an Alesis Andromeda A6 in my hands! This beautiful beast feels like an expensive sports car, and it sounds like it too! For this first demo, I decided to honour its name, and play around with BIG reverbs. All the sounds are from the A6, except the drums. 
Here's a trip to the closest galaxy.

2.5 Million Light Years - Alesis Andromeda demo by Ned Bouhalassa

Nadiya means 'hope' in Ukrainian. It is what I have to offer, musically, to those who are suffering. 
All the sounds, excepts the drums, are from the 106. I love its simplicity, and warmth, especially with the lovely chorus!

Nadiya - Roland Juno 106

What a sweet, sweet, sweet instrument this Pro-2 is! I am really loving all the possibilities, the excellent layout, and the powerful sounds. There's lots of reverb here, I was just really in the mood for it! 

Modulations In Blue - DSI Pro 2 Demo

A first short piece featuring my new baby, the Matrixbrute! What a fine, fine instrument this is. I just love that everything about it screams PLAY ME! This demo features no added FX except for compression/limiting on the master out. The synth's FX section is simply retro-gorgeous.

Taming The Beast - Arturia Matrixbrute Demo

This is my first track using the powerful Quantum synthesizer. There's a lot to explore, so this is just an excuse for me to hear what I can do with it at this point. Really enjoying the fresh sounds coming out of this beast!

Quantum Dreams - Waldorf Quantum Demo by Ned Bouhalassa

When I started playing Don Solaris' patches for the 2.0 update of Waldorf's Quantum, I fell in love with this synthesizer all over again! Don has managed to add welcomed warmth to the Quantum, and I am more than glad to highlight his work with this little demo featuring only his programming work.

Vintage Quantum - Ned Bouhalassa

I've been looking at a bunch of videos of rainy nights in Tokyo, feeling inspired by the relative calm of otherwise busy streets. 
I have only had the Hydrasynth for a short time, but I've managed to squeeze it in as much of my schedule as possible. I've fallen quite hard for this marvellous instrument; it really is a rich, expressive, modern, digital ax for whatever the future has in store.

Tokyo Rain - Hydrasynth Demo by Ned Bouhalassa

This was a short live improvisation, featuring two venerable, vintage synthesizers. I'm fortunate to be able to express myself with these and other magical instruments! Here's to a better 2021...
