ESQ-1 VPC-1A Sound Demo 4

Variatio 2 a 1 Clav - From The Goldberg Variations (BWV 988)
By Johann Sebastian Bach
Sequenced by David J. Grossman · ©1997
Adapted for ESQ-1 By Neil Paddock
Used with the midi author's kind permission

Another Bach Goldberg Variations Midi Demo to showcase the sounds from the re-sampled ESQ-1 VPC-1A Cartridge (Patches 11-20) and to showcase the sequencing skills of Dave Grossman and the works of Johann Sebastian Bach.

Here are the voices used:
11) MCROAD (Rhodes Piano)
12) PORGN2 (Organ)
13) 5OFSWE (Strings)
14) VOXBAS (Voice Bass)
15) HI HAT (Percussion)
16) STRNG2 (Strings)
17) SAPRNO (Voice)
18) FRIDAY (Keyboard/Piano)
19) PECKBD (Percussive Keyboard)
20) LANDNG (Special FX - Alien Spaceship landing)

Actually, the alien landing didn't make it into the demo.
You can hear that here:
https://soundcloud.com/neilpaddock/esq-1-vpc-1a-sound-demo-2

There's nearly 4 minutes worth in this piece, as I cycle through the patches, alternating voices to play each of the 3 parts. I repeated it a few times for good measure (no pun intended).

For me it gets good towards the end when the strings and bass come in. There's 7 voices playing at that point.

So why not grab yourself some FREE classic 80's Retro synthesized/programmed pianos, organs and sound effects with this Reboot - Reformatted for use with Kontakt and SFZ compatible samplers - such as Dimension Pro, Rapture and the Free Alchemy Player. A Reason Version of all 40 patches is now available here:

Heroes (David Bowie Cover)

I covered this magnificent song as a tribute to David Bowie, following his death a few days ago. No infringement of copyright is intended, all the rights belong to the owners and I am not profiting by publishing. I sang, played and recorded all instruments in my home studio. Everything is played on real instruments except the drums (VST plug-in).

J'ai repris cette sublime chanson comme hommage à David Bowie, suite à son décès il y a quelques jours. Tout a été enregistré en home studio sur de vrais instruments excepté la batterie (instrument VST).

Idk how to clasify this track, one of the weirdest things I've done, hope you like it, just music!

A popular thing to do with these nowadays is "circuit bending" - bolting on additional electronic gubbins to the old unit to make the original sounds distorted. 

This one is as it would have been when new - with no circuit bending whatsoever.

There is a demo on YouTube of a similar machine at:

Yamaha DD-5 Demo Patterns

A collaboration between myself and Tom Pritchard. All synths and the main song structure are by Tom Pritchard, with additional arrangement, drums & percussion, guitars, vocals and atmosphere by myself.

I'd been put off of collaborations for a while as I always ended up getting stalled when working on something, either through lethargy or just not feeling where the idea was going. I figured it was about time I had another crack at it, and last year asked Tom if he'd be interested in working on something together. He already had a rough song idea to work with, so he sent that over and I did my thing with it and we bounced it back and forth a few times until we ended up with this.
