synth demos

The original Alesis Andromeda Trance sounds demo that I posted on Anjunabeats, Gearslutz and Trance.nu forums. The demo consists of a random selection of my personal trance sounds programmed with an Alesis Andromeda A6 analog synthesizer approximately during years 2004-2007, while listening to A State of Trance radio shows by Armin van Buuren, when Trance music was still good and made with soul. I recorded these clips mostly when testing the sounds, so some clips are quantised, some are not. Most sounds have chorus / phaser, delay and reverb in use + compression / limiting. I still have the Andy sitting here by my side, running strong. Will replace the electrolytic capacitors as a preventative maintenance soon.

F5D - Alesis Andromeda A6 Demo V3

I love the Terminator Theme, so here is a quick play of that using DSI Prophet 08. FX from Roland 330 gear.

F5D - Terminator 2009 (DSI Prophet 08)

Some sounds that I programmed with my DSI Prophet '08 analog synthesizer. More sounds compared to the first upload. Totally unquantized, recorded while testing the sounds.

F5D - Prophet '08 Demo

All sounds programmed using DSI Prophet 08 analog synthesizer. Sound goes through TC Electronic D-Two delay, some reverb and compression/limiting.

F5D Prophet 08 CTR Demo

A texture sound that I programmed for DSI Prophet 08 analog synth. Watch your speaker levels for surprises!

F5D Prophet 08 CTR Textures

A short demo that I recorded using my custom Prophet 12 patches, multitracked in logic with some fx. Thank you Dave Smith and DSI for this synthesizer!

Prophet 12 Demo

Synth strings patch that I programmed with DSI Prophet 12. The sound uses only 1 layer, no unison, all mod matrix slots in use. The idea was to emulate kind of broken strings with some tape / vinyl or "belt-drive" disturbances. The stronger you play, the more broken the sound gets. No pitchbend wheel was used during playing. The keys are from Aly & Fila remix of Tarja Turunen's song, of which name I do not remember right now. 

Prophet 12 - Belt-driven Strings

My attempt to synthesize / program Boards of Canada (BOC) -style sounds using DSI Prophet 12 digital / analog hybrid synthesizer. No preset sounds of the synthesizer were used, only my custom BOC-inspired sounds programmed from scratch. In addition, I used some sounds that I had recorded using a Zoom H1. I have been listening to BOC alot lately while walking in the nature, and truely enjoy their work and style. The cover photo is a front cover of an actual photo album from the 70's, purchased from Canada.

Prophet 12 - Canada (BoC)

In this recording I quickly test some of my custom Prophet 12 sounds with two analog BBD delays. As we know, the new DSI Pro 2 has a digital BBD emulation. This is Prophet 12 with two real analog BBD delays configured in stereo. With pads, it can sound almost like a reverb. No unison was used in any of the sounds. No reverb was used in any part of the recording. In some of the sounds, there is a 4-stage phaser in use with low speed setting. Surprisingly there is no noise or hum at all, when driving the pedals with T-rex 9 VDC PSU. Still need to sort out a minor clipping issue.

F5D Prophet 12 Stereo BBD-delays

Another simple multi-tracked demo of the soon-to-be-released Prophet-6 synthesizer. All sounds are Prophet-6 and were recorded directly into Pro Tools. Reverbs and delays are all Prophet-6.
