This is really fantastic sounding… a standout effort/piece in an ocean of similar material I encounter from time to time that has't impressed me quite like this. I'm soon to be 58 and was passionate about working/writing/creating with synths using MIDI and hardware sequencers in the 80s (and a bit of the 90s). I still play mainly piano sounds/parts accompanying my own vocal, playing & singing songs from "my era". I own a ton of vintage and modern gear and enjoy it here & there (I have the OB-6 & Peak too for instance). I look at and listen to your vids and I wonder is that the kind of thing I'd be doing if I was 20 now. Probably. Anyway, really nice work… keep it up :-)

Fabulous! I love your work. I’ve seen some of your super inspiring dawless jams. Well I just surrendered and got an iPad, breaking my “dawless” rule. Have been learning about fugue machine and good old YT algorithm brings me here. Masterful use of it and these great synths and effects.

enchanting! Unrelated to the music, I loved that subtle touch of changing the word "limiting" to "inspiring". I wasn't looking at the words when you switched it, but when the sentence left the screen, I said, wait, did he say "limiting" or "inspiring?" I must have caught a subconscious glimpse. I had to rewind and check. :-)

Jay, re: iOS apps - are you familiar with Drambo? It's an electron style sequencer with the octatrack style scene select, plus a modular synth, AUv3 host, and sampler. It can also be an AUv3 plugin itself. So I imagine you can have Fugue Machine sending midi in to a sequence and have parameter locks and conditionals on the notes fugue is sending in. It does all sorts of stuff. I can recommend you have a play with it.

Heard of Drambo a couple of times but never tried it. I’ll look into it.

@JayHosking4 жыл бұрын
The NDLR really rewards on-the-fly chord changes, so I like it for very improv/ambient stuff. Fugue machine creates these cyclical off-kilter compositions that can work surprisingly well with drums (there's one I did with the Vermona Perfourmer and Analog Rytm, if you'd like to check it out). Neither is better than the other, but they definitely lead to different end products (which can be inspiring). Thanks!

Lovely as always. I recently began looking into the Abyss (no pun intended) and to my horror saw its out of production. Yiaks. What's your thoughts on it vs the Erebus? Did you part with that one as of yet? Stumbled upon this video from another gifted guy, and its purely Abyss - I think you might like it :) kzbin.info/www/bejne/Y6CVk3lqn7B5mas ... and merry Christmas. May the holidays infuse you with a bunch of good food, cheers and inspiration.
@JayHosking4 жыл бұрын
Thanks so much for the holiday cheer! And yeah, out of production, and yeah, I love the sounds in this skrapadelix vid (stumbled across it a while back). The Erebus is cool, I like its variable filter, and the newest iteration is paraphonic. But I found myself spending more time than I'd like tuning it (compare to the Abyss, which you can set to auto-tune itself, and also doesn't go out of tune as much), and there's something about the Abyss that the Erebus v3 didn't quite capture in terms of its oscillators. So yeah, I parted with the Erebus ultimately. If they ever make a stereo Nyx, I might try that. And the Hades, that thing is a beautiful (and admittedly simple) synth, and also out of production. All the best!
