SPEAK AND SPELL FOR SYNTHV???

Had fun making this. Been jamming with a small «live setup» separate to the main studio so very limited selection of sound sources:) Can you guess the 3 synths in action? (One is not a synth per se). Quite like the energy in this one though no arrangment as such. Trial and error mostly so made a quick test before recording. Sampler & vocoder included here:) Mastered 16 bit wav. Headphones recommended.

Soundsystem

Another jam with my small «live setup» that’s separate to the main studio. Iow a very limited selection of sound sources here, i.e. «less is more»:)
There are 4 synths (one is not a synth per se) in action apart from the drum machine. Quite pleased with the sounds and mix in this one. Sampler but no vocoder this time. Only light mastering (16 bit wav). Headphones recommended.

High

Been a while since I made some Techno:) Just jammin’ with a few machines (small set up). BPM ca 123. Lost all sense of time while making this one so is a bit too long. Headphones recommended.

They figured it out!

A really long jam that was pre-prepared (certain aspects i.e. samples, patches, drum patterns, etc) but mostly improvised. Tempo is 134 bpm. Really getting a Moby vibe from this one (Techno days) but that was not intentional:) Only noticed this while mastering. Not too mad about the Roland D-beam synth though. 4 synths, 1 sampler, 1 drum machine. 
Headphones recommended:) Enjoy the groove!

Freedom

Just jammin’ & testing some gear:) Apart from the guitar riffs here and there the Moog Labyrinth takes the spotlight in «VCW» (as the title suggests:)) Headphones are nice. 
A technical note: The Labyrinth was not midi synced to the rest of the track so it runs at a separate bpm (not sure how fast). Enjoy the ride and thanks for listening!

Freshly made a couple of days ago:) Fairly minimal for me. Headphones recommended or loud in a club?

Kind of in the same vein as my previous track “C10”. Freshly made/mastered:) 24 bit 48 khz wav here. Definitely recommend listening on headphones!

C18 mix#2

Been making many new tracks the past few weeks so had some real problems on deciding what to upload. Hence the solution was to upload a 3 year old track from May 2022 that is heavily based on speak & spell samples (through the Octatrack), original formant patches from my Planet Earth synth (at the end) + Kraftwerk type sounds from the Waldorf Blofeld. May upload an extra track tomorrow to celebrate my 500 followers:) Thanks to all my listeners and fans!

BloArp

Bordering on chaos & noise at times but just a spontaneous release using only one piece of equipment while recording this "live" groove. Only utilised a Roland SP-555, that I was going to sell but decided to jam on instead:) 
Used/mixed 2 banks of prepared samples + the crazy internal D-beam synth (scaled to F and a Whole tone scale). 
Also used MFX chromatic PS on the kaossilator sample so pitched it up & down on a whim:) 
Main groove with voice saying "information" is me and it's an old track. Slightly mastered and recorded straight from the SP into Kontrol S8. Had fun so hope you enjoy and can be inspired to experiment with what you have (less is more).
