EML 101 (More Info Here)

1. EML 101 Big 3voice

A solid 3 voice bass

2. EML 101 Dark Sample and Hold

This sample is using Osc 1 feeding the sampler, and the filter Control is turned

up for Sampler Control. This produces the Sample and Hold Effect.

I am then modulating the filter pots as I play

3. EML 101 Swell 4 voice

All 4 voices with a slower attack time for the amplitude and the filter frequency

Amplitude is set to ENV1, and Filter Control is set to ENV 2 (a common setup)

4. EML 101 Slow Attack

All 4 voices with an Attack time set long

 

E-mu Systems Modular Synthesizer Sounds

DARK & SWIRLY PATCH

The first example uses 2 of the Sawtooth Pulse Oscillator Modules as audio sources and uses 4 lowpass filters, 3 transient generators, and 3 VCA's. The large VCO is used for modulation source only. This creates a continuously evolving dark and swirly sound. Of course the Mixer module is used to mix the signals and create a stereo signal.

Dark & Swirly.wav

Adjusting the patch above to have a slow attack time and slow decay time. Also using three transient generators(envelopes) and VCA's so voices have different release times

Dark&Slow.wav

Now creating a lead synth sound that is less swirly and tighter. Adding a touch of reverb, (Dual Reverb Module) so playing with stops so can hear the reverb trails. Added slight portamento effect with keyboard controls.

LIQUID BASS PATCH

This example uses three oscillators tuned tight for a tight bass

LEAD PATCH

This example is a lead patch that uses Pulse width modification and filter frequency modulation to make a nice aggressive lead.

E-mu Lead01.wav First Lead example covers 3 octaves so can clearly hear tracking very precisely across octaves.

E-mu Lead02.wav Second Lead example has a short lead and some pulsing beats

Oberheim OB-Xa

Five Sound examples from the Oberheim OB-Xa recorded direct to computer 1/25/2013 (mp3 and wav formats)

---The first sound below is preset A6 and shows a 5 voice chord pad. Note the slight stereo pan. This unit has been adjusted to do this

OBXaA6Pad.mp3

OBXaA6Pad.wav

--This sound is Preset C8 and is a unison patch with the modulation LFO set to Sample and Hold going to the filter cut off.

OBXaC8blurps.mp3

OBXaC8blurps.wav

--The sound below is a basic bass patch preset D3 and shows off the bass capabilities of the OB-Xa

OBXaC6Bass.mp3

OBXaC6Bass.wav

--The fourth sound is a dual preset 1. Press dual then 1. This shows how the OB-Xa can play two different sounds layered.

OBXa-Dual1.mp3

OBXa-Dual1.wav

--The fifth and last sound below is preset D3 which is some blurpiness with a long decay

OBXaD3.mp3

OBXaD3.wav

Oberheim OB-X

Four Sound examples (recorded 11/10/2012 directly from OB-X )

The first mp3 file is of the first preset A1 and shows how super fat 4 voices can be. The OB-X is in Unison mode so all 4 voices are used for each key press.

OBxPresetA1 MP3 file

The second mp3 file is of the second preset A2 and shows how the Sample and Hold can modulate the filter frequency to create some great sounding blurpy effects. The OB-X is in Unison mode so all 4 voices are used for each key press.

OBxPresetA2 MP3 file

The third mp3 file is of the preset A3 and shows how 4 voices can be sounded. Four octaves of the C key are played so you can hear each voice come in. The OB-X is not in Unison mode so you get 4 single voices.

OBxPresetA3 MP3 file

The fourth mp3 file is of the preset B1 and shows how super fat "Rush" like sounds can be made. The OB-X is in Unison mode so all 4 voices are used for each key press.

This set of sounds were created on a MOTM style custom modular synthesizer.

They are sound effects that I classify as NOISE
