Hardware Synths Demos

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

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

Having just picked up this old beast, I'm tripping down memory lane, circa 1988. Rich Oberheim tones fill the air, dark pads abound, lots of character oozes from this instrument. It's a pain to program, but efforts are rewarded!

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.

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...
