Synthesizer Performance - The [Law-Rah] Collective

Drone sounds from The [Law-Rah] Collective. It's amazing how the speeded-up video fits perfectly with the atmospheric soundtrack.

Train to Utrecht - The [Law-Rah] Collective

Text from the video :

• The [Law-Rah] Collective creates heavy atmospheres with self built analog synthesizers that are quite soothing, yet somehow foreboding at the same instance. At other times, the collective uses more intense noise based electronic sounds creating increasingly aggressive tracks that are still quite easy to become absorbed by...

Synthesizer Performance - Martin Peters - A minimal theme

Another good track by Martin Petters .As always it's a Berlin School track , but this time maybe because Martin has added to his set-up a Waldorf Q , this track remembers more to the 80's records of Tangerine Dream.

A minimal theme

Text from the video :

• This was a very quick one. From the initial idea, which started with fiddling around with the sequencer, it all took less than an hour and the video was in one take. The main 8 step sequence is coming from the Waldorf Q Keyboard; the Doepfer MAQ16/3 is synchronized to that. The Doepfer drives the Synthesizers.com Modular with the 2nd 8 step sequence you hear and the self-built Modular with the 3rd 8 step sequence which has a sort of Roland CR-78 rhythmbox sound. Some simple improvised solo's on the Nord Lead 1 and the Korg 900PS completes this minimal theme.

Exploring the Waldorf Q Keyboard

Text from the video :

• This a probably a boring video if you are not interested in the Waldorf Q Keyboard. The Doepfer MAQ16/3 sequencer is driving the Synthesizers.com with a bass sound and the self-built Modular with the accompanying melody. The internal sequencer of the Waldorf Q Keyboard is synchronized with the MAQ16/3 MIDI clock doing a 8 step sequence which I transpose with the keyboard (to make the music a little bit less boring ;-). Fiddling with various dials but mainly the pulse width dials on VCO 1 and 2 to scan through the wave tables of the Alt1 wave selection, with the cutoff, resonance and envelop amount for the 24dB lowpass filter and with the decay for the filter ADSR. At 09:35 I switch to the PPG filter but then the video almost ends. You can see or download the full version from my website in a few days.

Waldorf Pulse

Waldorf Pulse has the reputation of been a very fat sound synthesizer, it was produced in 1996 and is real analog, with 3 DCO and 24 db resonant low pass filter. One great thing of this synth is that it has a very good midi implementation and a integrated midi-cv converter.
