Hello!

I made a tune using only a 4 track cassette recorder and a drum machine triggering arpeggios on the synths. No sequencers or computers used (except for mastering). Only analog synths and analog drum sounds used.

First, the track was programmed into the drum machine. The three trigger outputs were used for clocking (giving rhythms) to the arpeggiators. Then, the backing track was played back and the arpeggiators played (chords or notes). This was submixed into two tracks (stereo) on the cassette deck. The melody lines and solos were overdubbed using the two remaining tracks. The last additions (noise bursts, doubling of the C-part) were added during mixdown of the song.

Synths used: Roland TR-808; Korg Mono/Poly, M500, Polysix, Poly-61, PE-2000. Other equipment: SansAmp GT2, Lexicon MPX500, Vesta spring reverbs, Allen & Heath GS1, Alesis IO26

Love it!



Howcome the Walmart Uniform though? Are they selling ANALOG SYNTHS now?!

LOL

Almost nailed it, my shirt has red buttons.

This is really cool. A testament to the art of performance with synthesizers. Whoever says that "synths are easy and require no talent to use, unlike guitars," I'm going to show them this video.

playing it over and over...

This is reminds me of the kind of synth music I heard as a child growing up and as a teen started me down the road to so many avenues of electronic music. Nice.

Great track with cool sounds. Nice one.

Superbly produced.

Wow,

I'm impressed!

It passes the most important test, it sounds good and you want to continue listening.
