Exuberant Mode workout with the Juno/Jupiter Omega/CODE Filter—Optional 6dB mode featured; single track Isos will follow.

Juno/Jupiter Filtered 111

Continuous Controller & Live Tweak, Part 2

This time out, the '3X Vulcan Mind Melds with our "Juno/Jupiter Modes & Mood" post of 4-6-2021: a CODEOmega filter workout. Drew Neuman's beastly Boomstar tom-tom fill (https://soundcloud.com/studio-electronics/drummed-up-basses) and select & sentient needle drops from "Family Herrre" (https://soundcloud.com/studio-electronics/family-herrre) take the starch out of the incipient sound collage collar. OK?

Enjoy,

THE AMERICAN DREAM - I REALLY DON’T THINK

Main synth chords: SE3X in Paraphonic Mode

Supplemental synth chords (Chicago turnarounds): CODE Omega 8

Piano: Mid-‘70s Heirloom (Childhood): 87 Warren Drive, San Francisco, CA, Yamaha C7—which in the early '80s laughed off a dicey and punishing slide down a flight of concrete stairs (ours), reportedly generating (once bottom was rocked) a very non-joyful noise, louder than the re-creation of the the earth, this last time out; EMU Extreme Lead carves out Jazz-e-er changes

Primary synth bass & leads: SE-02, an indispensable sonic & EMOTIONAL tool BTW

Additional synth bass colors: SE-3X, Boomstar Modular Sensei System (glorious), Tonestar 8106, Midimini V30

Synth drums: Boomstar SE-80, Boomstar SEM, CODE Omega 8

Visceral ending analog: Midimini V30

Unconscious Matt Weinhold vocal channeling: Salvatore St. Regis
Additional Portugal boots-on-the ground imagery: Carlo St. Regis

Wanted to gather and connect all the SE kin. Did, with some needle-drop .wav surfing and repurposing (that’s how I include Monte Neuble in nearly everything now—talk about indispensable feel!)

The main ‘3X riff felt complete and vibrant in solo mode; pushed on until a diversity of unity was gained, and “gained honor”

Enjoy,

The American Dream - I Really Don't Think

MSR’s Needle Drops & Isos, Take 2

"I Think That Worked" (like most things until they don't)

Built on SE-3X extremely habit-forming, paraphonic chording throughout, and a legion of instant-grease 'n grind SE-02 basses. Why settle for just one (a question asked by men-y)?

SE-02 Chickin' Pickin' plays nice-nice with juicy bass figures (periodically staccato), which then feed into the faux multi-tracked '02 Wurli (right channel) and "the real thing" (left), punctuated by SE-02 Wormy Lead crew.

All of this happens in the 1st few bars, as you have now entered The Micro Musical Klymit Zone, potentially punishing with it's creative density and attention-to-detail demands, placed upon the listener.

Childhood Heirloom C7 processed piano 3 chord preach, births culminating paraphonic purpose and a frenetic '02 bass/Wurli combo orgone generation.

Enter vintage Grecco Burrato Modmax/Wolftone guitar magic (drips, drops & crunches), and absolutely adorable/incredible '02 LFO gate "Latino Tablino" electro percussion.

Additional miraculous SE-02 multi-tracked polyphony and SE-3X paraphony reveals and revels.

Percolating fake space ensues, interrupted by a booming' SE-80 kick to Super Hero soundtrack vibes—I did just get "Flashed."

Vintage St. Regis/Sembello/Neuble (Michael) 3rd Stone drop and you're almost home... "Groove" Campasso vox; easy with those dope chords.

Dreamy SE-3X surrenders to arpeggiated, mult-tracked SE-02 polyphony.

Prequel And Adagio For Feedback

CODE Luxe Wave-Folding made that piano possible, folks (1:53)—brilliant touch, ONEPOLYMER!

ONEPOLYMER - CODE LUXE CAN DO PIANO

Blending vintage and granular synthesis with lofi hip-hop, throbbing bass lines, wild vocals and a metal lead guitar, Mani and the nonos’ latest single tells the story of a rogue satellite as it gives the finger to ground control and the two-bit ringmasters behind the scenes. But while it lends a heavenly voice to an electronic banshee, "Satellite Deny" is nonetheless fiercely human. No pre-made gimmicks or artificial flavors here. Buckle up and leave them all behind, sweet and sexy renegade. 

Satellite Deny

upgrade in progress + up done + well done ! Update effect

Having fun layering an assortment of patches I dialled into my 2004 Studio Electronics Omega 8..  

I have always liked the array of multi-mode filters this synth has to offer - it adds a great deal more sonic potential to an often overlooked and very capable analog beast.

NB:  Although it might sound like it, no phasers were used in this recording.. what you are hearing is copious use of the superb band-pass and high-pass filters in the Omega 8 being modulated by the LFOs.
