Rate/Comment please. Hey there, here is a blues jam obviously inspired by Vangelis Blade Runner, but it is'nt a cover. It is to show the Micron's amazing capabilities. The sounds are custom, and I'm especially proud of the brass patch. In a while I'll start doing some more rythmic pieces like jarre and such, for now I just wanted to master this synth, so here is a relatively simple improv. Enjoy! And watch in high quality, the sound quality is worth it.

  • I'd love to know the parameters for that brass sound, but I figure you'd rather not give it out. Perhaps just some hints?

  • Why not? Well its 2 saw and one very narrow pulse passing through one JP lowpass filter and one Comb 4 filter. I think you can figure out for the amp envelope, the filter evelope doesnt really matter. A lot of reverb, and key sensitivity to make it expressive.

  • Very nice . . . is the setup a preset, if so what is it?

    Is is If not, very nice work. . . very nice feel. Van

  • No it isnt, but the sounds are not very complicated to make (well maybe the piano one is lol)

  • is there like a handbook a noob can buy that shows the parametres for making different types of patches?

  • Yes there is... but they are "sold", and frankly its better to understand the concepts than to use recipes.

  • Beautiful.

    You are using the Micron correctly IMO.

    Many other postings are house trance pop garbage.

    You sound like you're along the lines of Wright, Wakeman, Glass, Eno and Vangelis.

    Good Job.

    I'm buying one to compliment my guitar work.

    Good Job

  • Mind bottling.

  • @pithor I don't think there is a wrong way to use the Micron, or any synth for that matter. It's all a matter of personal taste. That said, this is one of the better YT Micron performances out there.

  • Amazing stuff! Good work :-)

  • Great video! Nice vid effecs and great music. Feelin ya kid!

  • Feeling like watching the movie! Remember some scenes... Great!

  • This sounds like Vangelis

  • Thinking about getting one of those. The choice is either that or an mpc 500, lol. But i'm definitelly deep in love with this beauty. I see whole albums in that beast, ready to be recorded, just waiting. Now i just need to convince myself I don't need mpc that much xD
