It has a magnificent early radio case look! It Soooo want’s a wire pulled across a glass screen to really give it authenticity, and if you could load up a sample of a radio being tuned the illusion is complete. . . .
Which of course leads us to the matter of a sound sample
Hey everyone! I’ve finally gotten around to posting my Zynthian. Scratch built and installed in some really old analog hospital equipment that already had RCA outputs. I think it’s from sometime in the late 40s or early 50s. Not sure. If anyone knows please let me know!
Here’s some loops I did a while back
I sequenced everything on an MPC1000
first real zynth PPG-13
and I believe some of you have already heard this next one from a previous post. Also I notice it’s been posted on the wiki - thank you @jofemodo! Vasculab COMPD
Hopefully I’ll get to mess with the Zynth more soon, I’m nearly recovered from an ear injury I got shortly after finishing it :c
The ppg has a vangelis like emotion
with a more euro feel of course its really interesting to answer the questions of what went where and why… Ii think for many the step from making sounds and polyphonic arrangements like this is fascinating and any insight would be of real interest.
This is at least my first one. Bought a v3 kit. Everything worked perfectly.
Although I switched up the input and output on the sound card. That got fixed quickly.
I use my Nord Electro as a midi + controllers keyboard. I mainly play jazz/fusion/lounge/somethingoranother at small venues so I think I will use the Nord as it is intended but also to control the Zynthian when I want synth sounds. I want to be able to have a minimal setup.
Wow, I never expected to have a comparison to Vangelis. Thanks! I’m untrained musically. Occasionally I’ll read some theory but usually I just jam until I find something I like. I usually start with some chords and build a loop from there and eventually attempt to stretch it into a song. I never write anything down either. I’ve notice anytime I try to go for a specific sound or theme I typically end up as far away from that as possible
Definitely on accident
I used an augmented scale because It’s easily played on the MPC by using only the outer 8 pads. Can you link me what you are describing?
The “Katá de Guaguanco Matancero” is a rithm pattern used by Cuban Rumberos from Matanzas when playing their beloved “Guaguanco”. BTW you used accidentally in your “first real zynth”, 3 times. It’s somethink like:
