The great void

This afternoon I was watching two videos on the MATRIXSYNTH website were John Bowen demonstrates his Solaris prototype on the PNW Synth Gathering 2010. Seems like a very powerful machine but it is not likely that I can afford one. After seeing that I thought, my Waldorf Q Keyboard can't do all that but it can do some. So I ended up programming this sound and sequence which I liked a lot and I decided to video it. Connected the MIDI out of the Q to the Doepfer MAQ16/3 to be able to add synchronized sequences from the MAQ16/3 and the Synthesizers.com Q960. Row 1 of the MAQ16/3 has a double-time 8-step sequence driving the self-built Modular. The gate output of row 3 of the MAQ16/3 shifts the Q960 which has sequences on row 1 and 3 driving the Synthesizers.com Modular. I use the A, B, C and D slots of the Clavia Nord Lead 1 to vary the sounds of the solo's. Slot D contains a kind of FM'ed strings sound. The Roland XP-80 also does a solo voice.
This video show the first 10 minutes of a 30 minute video. You can see/hear/download the video and music from my website.

Very nice track and love the look of the modular set up. Can you tell us a bit about your modules?

[attorks]

@RJADVids Thank you. You can get more information on the modules I have on my website in the 'My First Modular' and Gear' sections.

@rondroyd Hey Ron, thanks for the comment. Yes, I sold the AX80 some time ago to replace it with the Waldorf Q keyboard mainly because the Q has much more realtime controllers.

alien landscapes love it any suggestions for someone looking for a new modular or a really good pad synth who already has a virus ti?

@Jungl3Bunny420 Thank you. I would say start with a small Synthesizers-dot-com setup. You won't be sorry. And the possibilities will grow exponentially with every new module.

@JohnLRice Thanks, but you have got to be realistic. According to the views and likes of my videos there is only a select group of followers. I am happy if only a few people like and appreciate what I am doing. It is my humble way to make a difference in this world were we all struggle to achieve some level of happiness. I am already rich compared to many other people in this world and famous by a select group. What can be wished for more? I can send you a postcard anyway ;-)

@davidryle Thanks David. The mp3 is available on my website, and it's free.

I love this piece, it is very relaxing, There is so much junk on YouTube, it is a pity more people don't take the time to find videos like this - they are missing out. Added to my favourites.
