Just some random tweaking of Sting's vocals.  Designing some custom effects bays to achieve all of the processing in a real time performance.

Remix for Mocean Worker.  Buchla & Eurorack real-time remix

Colette - Modular Mocean Remix

A Reason track i worked on through most of 2005. Not necessarily one of my best (honestly)! It employs several new combinator systems that create real time delay effects for chopping up a track, and some frequency response modulation patches that fatten up the sound.

Dry and Effected demos for consideration in the Oberheim OB-X8 Factory program bank.  Development of this instrument has gone to extensive lengths to perfectly reproduce sounds from the originals, so new programs have adopted features unique the OB-X8 including panning modulation features, special Xmod control, and the incorporation of velocity and aftertouch modulation.

Reverb is Strymon Big Sky

this patch lacks high frequencies.  tried reamping to capture some of the environmental noises like birds and traffic to add a little dimension to the high end.  

always an experiment.

patches for consideration as Sequential Pro 3 factory presets.  All sounds and effects are from the instrument itself.  The wavetable selection is changed during playback to illustrate variations that can be quickly created during a performance.  Polyphonic sections are either demos of paraphonic mode patches, or monophonic programs with offset tunings of the three oscillators.  Rhythmic sounds are based on sequences embedded in each program, arpeggiator patterns, or a combination of both.  Some of the drum programs are based on sequences constructed with the wavetable oscillator.
