Kawai SX-240 soundscape III - Escape from reality

The days have gone and I’ve done nothing. These latest soundscapes were made over a month ago. I’m running on fumes… so many things to do, trying to spend more time with my family, and well, I think I’ve only got two more soundscapes… then I’ll be done for a while. I wanted to see how many subscribers I could get a day by posting endlessly. Made it up to 174 every 28 days. That was cool, but I can’t keep that up, nor does the count really do anything anyway, guess I just wanted to see what it would take and how high I could get that. I’m thankful for people joining and listening. Hopefully I’ll be able to make some good music for you in the future.
Eventide Blackhole VST for reverb
Strymon Volante for delay
Boss MD-500 for vibrato
Recorded July 2nd, 2024

thanks. I just a reborn noob in synths after 30 years without touching one. it just took me one month just to set up (choose, order, install, try and understand sound design, build furniture, find good wires, get things to work on linux computer), and yet have not played anything 😅. I have family too, it is hard sometimes to have dedicate time when feeling concentrate and motivated. or something just need time to relax and find new inspiration. thanks for all you've done before. carry on 👍🙏

Lovely work on this as always M !

[@NohFyuchur]

Take care of you, replenish that creative well by spending that time with your family, move at a pace that allows for what brings you to art, those grounded connections and simply being.

[@MIDERA]

Thanks. That’s great advice. Appreciate it :)

Fantastic and inspiring

Thanks!

[@davidrobinson5180]

This is FANTASTIC. Thank you for the music.

[@MIDERA]

Thanks for listening :)

[@dags1965]

Please don't stop - apart from synth nerding out they remind me what its all about - for making beautiful moving music!

[@MIDERA]

Thanks - I'm working on some other projects at the moment. I was commissioned to make some music and I've been on that. And I got a Cirklon, so I'm learning how to use it! Cheers :)

[@lockofthedeath]

Wish I could make your day like your vids make mine. All the best to you and your family! Greetings from a fan from the Netherlands! :) I'll keep watching faithfully for ever, with great joy!

[@MIDERA]

Hey thanks! It's nice to hear the music is meaningful. I appreciate it. Greetings from the US :) Thanks again!

[@robertgevere113]

That was a very nice session. And I wasn't aware of the Kawai SX-240, which is a lovely looking and sounding synth.

[@MIDERA]

Thanks! Yeah, I've known about it since like 2015 and always thought it would be completely out of my reach.

[@willmc6728]

Very calming/grounding. Been one of those days. I feel much better now. Cheers

[@MIDERA]

Hey, glad to hear it! Take care :)

[@toskabyss]

This is really lovely thanks!

[@MIDERA]

Thanks for listening :)

KZbin is weird. You're clearly not being pimped by the algo. I think I found you looking for PEK content. Stuck around though, and been enjoying your content since ....when I have the time. I'm busy too. Today is the day, for a hike and now a nap that I will begin with this lovely soundscape playing. Cheers.

[@MIDERA]

Ha, the algorithm forgot about me... but I do think it's probably more about whether I can 'pimp myself' out... I just don't really do what KZbin wants and I guess (at this point in my life) refuse to do it. That would be: Big bold words and my stupid face in a thumbnail, reviews of shiny new things, my face in the video as I talk about the gear, small plants... I dunno. I just do what I like and I think that's all I have the energy to do. I've tried some things, but it just isn't very fun so I give up with it.

Love your content my friend. I use effects with all my synths. Especially fond of my Meris Mercury7, and my Walrus Kamakura series Polychrome analog flanger, which I use with my Auturia Microfreak. I use currently a Digitech Obscura and Polara chained for my Yamaha WX-11 MIDI wind controller, which sounds amazing. Cheers my friend!

[@MIDERA]

Thanks! Mercury7 looks great! Wind controllers seem really fascinating, I've never used one! I wonder what kind of stuff I could do with a guitar controller for my synths... I'm a far better guitarist. Thanks again.

[@expandingknowledge8269]

@@MIDERA I am an accomplished woodwind player, so the Yamaha WX-11 was very easy to learn. Plus I can control any MIDI Synth, and especially my Behringer Neutron. There are a host of applicable guitar controllers that might suit your liking, like Jamstik Studio, Artiphon, and Fishman Tripleplay. Check em out, worth a look!😎

[@artisan002]

Ah..! Well, damn. I just now found your account. Well, it's getting a subscribe out of me anyway. Hopefully you'll have time and motivation cross paths again. This is lovely. But, you still need to take care of you.

[@MIDERA]

Thanks :) Yeah, I'm hoping so too :) These soundscapes were easy to do... but I guess not very fulfilling to make, but maybe I'll do something similar/better in the future.
