If You Like Reverb

If you like reverb, then download these samples and tweak away. They're a bit quieter than the regular stuff I post, but I really wanted you to hear the cleanliness of the reverb-tails. Just turn up the volume on your speakers or headphones. Have a good weekend!

Healing Drum Pattern

I just recorded this after watching this video.  Although the pattern may have been used in a famous song, my WAV file is free for you to download and manipulate.  96 BPM.

Accidental Movie Cue

While playing on a certain grey keyboard this past Saturday evening, I accidentally created a bit of music that's reminiscent of a hotel I stayed at a few months ago.  My room key was the ace of diamonds.

Omega in OP-1

Today I'm going to erase everything from my OP-1 and start fresh.  Now that I have a slightly better grasp of what it can do, I thought a brand new start would be good.  If you don't have songs or complex projects already going on in your unit, join me on this new beginning.  Have a listen to the demo and then download the free chopped up mono 16bit 44.1khz AIF files if you like them.

Basic OP-1 Sounds

I happened to pass by a car show room recently, so I thought I'd dream a bit and snap a pic. Sorry for the long absence, but I've been finishing up some tracks, and an album is on the horizon. In the meantime, I've been learning the OP-1. Here are some basic sounds, running on the latest OS 12470 with "finger" sequencer.

My 92% Analog Remix of Vaetxh's Mass

Here's a remix I did for the King Deluxe label.  The track is called Mass by Vaetxh.  Have a listen!

Hey Baby Merry Christmas!

December 1st!  Christmas is just around the corner.  Seasons Greetings and Happy Holidays to you!

U-he DIVA Sounds Like The Real Deal to Me

U-he Diva Patches They Sound Like the Real Deal to Me 1 by Calvin Cardioid

Don't mind me, dunno what I'm doing here. It's just my 2nd day playing with U-he's DIVA Beta 360, and my goodness does it ever sound good. It really does have moments that sound completely convincing as analog. I can only get 4 voices max at a time, running at 96k and 'great' accuracy. No major loud pops or crackles except: low CPU will obviously get some crackling, and changing presets once or twice involving the sallen filters kinda popped loud. Here's a couple of simple patches, try to listen for the different timbres and tones.

Playing with U-he ACE

Playing around with U-he ACE softsynth.  Although it eats a bit of CPU if set to accurate quality while playing at 96k, just choose fewer voices or primarily do mono-type sounds and you're in for a treat.  It's capable of audio-rate modulation with oscillators, filter FM, and even on PWM!  Here's a couple minutes of fun presets and playing.
