Thanks man. I don't like my Deepmind. I think about selling it a lot. The Peak is a Beast. The amp on my Behringer synths is weak. The signal to noise ratio is poor. Vangelis is my man obviously,. It's very hard not to rip him off all the time. So I'm happy to hear I still have voice of myself.

@@skrie Well anyone who loves electronic music has to be influenced by Vangelis. I remember an interview where he said something like "the notes must breathe" - I take that to mean notes have their own identity and need to be allowed to extend in time. I see that in your work here. The moody vibe with melodic motifs is reminiscent of the master's approach....spacious, melodic, emotion laden. re: Deepmind, had it for years and rarely fire it up. A dust catcher. I am out of space so replacement will have to be a module, candidates are peak, prophet 6, prophet rev2 an Iridium. Also, the Osmose has not grabbed me like others. Probably because I am a basic player but that little screen for diving is bad for my 79yo eyes. And the wiggle settings sometimes send you out of tune when you do not want it. I might move on from the Osmose too, then I can get new keys - Summit, PolyBrute, Hydra Deluxe??? What a time for synth players!

@@Sam_Utah The way you casually drop that 79yo in there :D Even at 44 the Deepmind display hurts the brain. Anyways, I also hope to be still playing at your age and beyond.

Thanks. I usually make more mistakes. But it was a very slow and careful procedure. Now I just gotta take it up a notch.

I only listened to Beaubourg once and not that thoroughly. But I really thought it sounded like Vangelis handed over his CS80 to a bunch of toddlers. Perhaps there's more to discover there, but that was my first and only impression. It certainly didn't inspire any further listening at that time.

Mja, van mij mogen de eerst 6 minuten er wel af. Maar van het één komt het ander. Soms gaat er iets mis, maar dat pakt dan juist mooi uit. Ik ga lekker een tijdje op deze manier door fantaseren. En als ik dan een paar uur heb ga ik alle extra geslaagde stukjes zonder dikke vingers appart nemen en oppoetsen. Dat kan dan weer een albumpje worden. 🙂

I've certainly thought about it. But this is Polyphonic Aftertouch, and I don't see how a breath controller could beat that. Now I can play my instrument with both hands and the pressure applied by each finger affects the expression.

@@skrie with a keyboard, even if it is polyphonic aftertouch, you cannot express a fast TKTKTKTKTK with a brass sound for example. It is another world. If you don't need it, perfect.

@@daroanvimusen I can see that. But I find playing monophonic a struggle.

@@skrie No no, you can play chords, and really it's amazing, so organic

@@daroanvimusen How will you pick what note gets the expression?

Bedankt Bart. Als Otterloo kenner weegt je mening natuurlijk extra zwaar mee :D

@@skrie Ach, je hebt mij in kennis flink overtroffen. Maar in dit geval telt vooral het gevoel: het gevoel dat het goed is ;-) Laat mij u spoedig trakteren op een avondje Chinees om de geboorte van deze mooie versie te vieren!

I've added the Behringer Pro-800 because it was cheap and processes Polyphonic Aftertouch. It sounds just as tiny and feeble as the Deepmind. Behringer should make these synths a little more expensive and add a better amplifier. The signal to noise ratio is just bullshit.

Yes, he did film scoring (this example is a bit from Soldaat van Oranje) and also wrote some of the material for the Metropole orchest when he was conducting.

Thank you very much. My main workhorse is a Novation Peak. But I mix it up with the ASM Hydrasynth-Deluxe and a Behringer Pro-800. The Hydrasynth processes and sends out Polyphonic Aftertouch. All my other Synths receive and handle Polyphonic Aftertouch. I feel it gives me the best possible expression. I have a DIY midi controller to change mod-matrix settings in the Novation Peak. That way I can quickly change settings that deal with Polyphonic Aftertouch while playing, without the usuall menu diving involved with the mod-matrix. Kinda like a Yamaha CS80. As you might have guessed I'm a big Vangelis fanboi :) On the left I also have a Yamaha CP4 for the EP piano sound. And a Behringer Deepmind-12, but I ended up cutting most of that channel out of the mix because it was distracting. Everytime I use the Deepmind I end up hating it.

It's Arduino. :) It's a midi controller I made to give my Peak CS80-like controls over settings dealing with touch and aftertouch. It sends out midi to the Novation Peak and mostly changes values in the Mod-Matrix. It's very handy. I made one too for the Pro-800 but I recently broke it and haven't had time to fix it. (The Pro 800 one is smaller because the Pro-800 is basically crap and has no mod-matrix and only a few settings in the menu worth adding a button for. But it does handly Poly-AT... so there's that ).

A lot. But I can't always find the matching video, since they have no audio (because of headphones). Someone should make an AI that can match my hand motions with the audio stream.

It's night... That's just an overexposed white wall with a lamp right under it. 😀

@@skrie OK, I thought it was daylight creeping around a thick curtain. Still doesn’t prove it rains though! 🥸 Typing this nonsense however gives me an opportunity to listen to it once again. Don’t get why this should be below par though. Or is it that you find the middle section a bit too free and undefined because the arpeggio’s lay low in the mix. Teach us, maestro! 🥹

Hey, your cover is amazing. Fantastic patches and overall sound engineering. I wish I could mix my tracks like that.

@@skrie From one Vangelis fan to another, thank you so much! 😊

Yea, someone really nailed that preset. It's great :)

I own an OB-Xa…. first time i hear a plug in with such a raw sound …. Very impressive

I agree... I didn't think you could improve this much on the ME80... But Cherry Audio pulled it off. I really dislike the Arturia plugin. Way to expensive for a plastic sound. I'm surprised the ME80 isn't more popular.

Thx. It was risky business taking away some of spontaneity of the improvisation for the sake of tidiness. But after listening for a few times I just couldn't live with the timing problems. And I've corrected everything by hand , no quantization. So the feel isn't lost and I think it's an overal improvement. Glad you still approve 😀

wow, I can't believe this still pops up in searches, or wherever you guys keep finding this vid :D This was my old student room 2 lifetimes ago. I owned this keyboard,a camera, a computer, a mattress, some clothing and a toothbrush.

I think I'd mostly cut of the first 6 minutes.

Ow wrong account lol.

It does not I'm afraid. I've tried to turn it into a single voice for the regular Hydra but it's much less juicy. You can try it though. But please lower the AnalogFL back to 7. it was a mistake to raise it like I did in this patch skrie.danoli3.com/music/ASMHydraSynth/Patches/SkrieSingleBlades.hydra

I've also added the Single Patch to the description. I can't get the same effect with only a single filter envelope. But I've tried to emulate it with the filter-bypass setting in the mix panel to somewhat satisfying effect.

A weed that survives my playing can also grow on Mars though. Anyways, good you've hit this one up again, because it's my most underrated work. This is my favourite thing I've ever made.

@@skrie Yep, excellent stuff! This is surely on a par with the music which inspired your style. It's high tie I start putting it on a CD for further listening pleasure.

nobody suspects the skrie upload :D
