Can I be your roadie? (Some interesting likes!)

This Is My Country

A demo of a complete patch bank (96) that I've programmed from scratch for the Roland VariOS-8 software on the VariOS module. No external effects, no additional processing or compression. It's entirely recorded from the raw output of the VariOS.

Not all of the patches are demonstrated here, but a good portion are and of course some of my favourites.

The VariOS seems to excel at long morphing textures, flexible ring modulation, and some impressive handling at classic 'synth' sounds. It does not in fact sound like a Jupiter-8 or a JUNO-60, but with some clever tweaking you can get some very nice effects. The software resonance is prone to peaking, so it was very difficult to control the internal EQ and find the 'sweet' spots to prevent problems with the patch; but the final results are pretty excellent if you ask me.
