So....yeah, post that song for me if you have it.
PPP

Capital idea, lets hear some SSP tunes...

Actually Mr P, I already put it in the Demo section on the SSP I page so you are "official". Oops I forgot to mention that.

awesome! Thanks Benedict.

House/Dance Track With SSP I
-----------------------------
Synth Studio Sample

Just created using Synth Studio Pack I

Drums: Native Instruments Synthetic Drums

Tracks:
Castor II
Janus
Pollux

Maybe some Cosmo in there, but I do not remember.

I layered two bass patches to get it deep in the chorus. I am really pleased with these synths. Especially Janus and Castor II. I probably could come up with some really cool things and enjoy the other synths more, but I AM NOT good with synthesis. The most I can do is adjust a few parameters. I"d love to have more presets for Cosmo, since I think that is what I was looking for to give me a Madonna Bass Sound I was looking for. But with the production I do, I have enough options to chose from with this synth pack.

Benedict - these rock. I will certainly use these on the regular.

Hi Mr Silent

These sounds are great, I love em. Have to ask about the lead melody sound - where is that from? Reminds me of a sound/melody from a live record I have from Adelbert Von Deyen on the old Sky label in 1984.

Cosmo 201 is pretty easy to program once you get your head around him. Basically 2 synths strapped together + a standard filter on the end.

Purty cool!

@Benedict==>Adelbert? Wow, didn't know you got that obscure in your space music. I've got one album of his...Sternzeit, I think, from probably aroun 1978...he got criticized for being a Schulze wannabe, but I really liked his work. I think of it as Schulze created a new style of composition, and Von Deyen simply picked up on it and did his own thing within the format.

But I digress...

I found Adelbert in a used record store and while there is some Schulze it is far prettier, almost pop like Rob Papen's old outfit Nova. I have a few of those kinds of things from odd German blokes with white faces an blue hair. Fun stuff.

Nice to see you here Em

Em, you are the lord of music

altho that Albino sounds like utter, utter, utter...

Still waiting on an Emdot album

Thanks.

My problem with doing an album is that I that I don't want an album to be a collection of unrelated songs. I'd prefer it to be songs created to go together--a document to a particular time and creative state. I've got more than enough material for an album or two, but the songs don't seem related to me, just a bunch of isolated tunes. That and all the organization involved after doing the tracks.

Let's face it, I'm a terrible procrastinator!

Get 60-80 mins of Emdot lovliness and wack it on a CD and call it a "collected works". Problem solved.

I could even be talked into making artwork so I think the phrase is

Checkmate!

wanker

I could also use the phrase

Snookered

I mean you gotta know when you are bested.

Hi Y'all

Here's something that just fell out of Traction 3

100% SSP I + II

3 x Castor II, SampleoTron, Cluster, Seq 28-116, Waveline, Space and a yet to be released Chorus

http://benedictroffmarsh.com/Stuff/Document.mp3

Good stuff, Benedict! It's reminding me of something from back in the 70s but I can't put my finger on it...anyway I love how you write minimal, introspective songs like this, yet seem to only listen to country and other very non-electronic genres. The contrast is pretty interesting.

Nice. Enjoyed both ya'll's music. Great job, sharpsilent. You, too, Benedict.

Wonderful hearing SSP I & II (and a yet to be released Chorus), more please!
