Awesome shots from Pete Brown’s Flickr set:

Cracked open my brand new Elektron Analog Four to see what is inside. Amazing how little space four analog voices require these days.

This is what a modern analog synthesizer looks like.

Here’s a final demo from my week of sound designing on the Prophet 12. Quite a few of the patches I programmed were inspired by sounds on existing recordings, and this is one of them. If you can’t tell what tune the sound comes from at the start then you will by the end! This demo just uses one patch – you’ll see me hit the ‘Stack’ button after a while, which in this case brings in extra notes for bigger chords.
Drums by the amazing Ben Jones of DivaGeek again. The audio from the Prophet is unprocessed.

Video comments from Chris Randall:

This is a quick demo of Yet Another Touchscreen Music App. I’m trying to come up with a global live performance / songwriting app for the touch interface, and this is my seventh attempt. Definitely getting closer. Still have to add the sound-sculpting interface; this is just a quick demo of the step sequencer scene switching.
