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:

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:
