Syntakt: not just a drum machine - Film score jam, all 12 tracks for melodic parts

Excellent desktop synth performance

[@sinewaymusic]

@@nicholasbalette6354 Thank you Nicholas! 🙏

[@dualsphere]

One of your best so far!

[@sinewaymusic]

Thank you, really appreciate it!

[@Honeysmack]

this is amazingly cool! It feels like a modern take on John Carpenter soundtracks of the 1980s.

[@sinewaymusic]

@@Honeysmack Wow, thank you - that's one heck of a composer to even be remotely compared against. 🙏🌟Thanks for listening and sharing that!

[@gambooyt]

Very good - and not the usual Syntakt stuff for sure!

[@sinewaymusic]

Thanks for listening and for the feedback!

[@kaykramer9045]

Love the live audience ❤… great job 👍. It’s always interesting how you are pushing the Syntakt to new territories

[@sinewaymusic]

Kay, thanks for your comment. I always appreciate your feedback. The Syntakt is an enigma to me. It's like it pulls me in new directions every time I use it.

[@RJ_Eckie]

Wonderful! This is much more like how I would like to use my syntakt than "the average syntakt video". Really helpful to see an example like this! Also really loving the sounds

[@sinewaymusic]

Thank you! If you ever upload music on your own made on the Syntakt , please let me know!

[@RJ_Eckie]

@@sinewaymusic Will do! 🙏🏻

[@Expectaz]

Amazing job!! The sounds are fantastic and your arrangement is top notch

[@jantuitman]

I love this. I didn’t use my Syntakt for quite a while because I made sounds with it that were a bit too harsh and digital to my own liking, but you demonstrate here that it is quite good at analog sounds and warmth! Very inspiring.

[@sinewaymusic]

Thanks Jan! I agree, and for a long time we struggled with it. The envelopes are also quite snappy but you can really soften them up by dialing them down a bit. And we almost always put a base width filter that cuts somewhere north of 3-6 khz. It's a very gentle slope (I'm guessing 6 dB per octave) so you still retain a lot of top end in the full mix. With tricks like this, the Syntakt can sound very warm and rich with both the analog and digital tracks. 😊

[@jantuitman]

@@sinewaymusicThanks for the info, I’ll try it out!

[@fergusfurlong]

this is wonderful - not sure how you get the ST to sound like that but it is musically inspiring!

[@sinewaymusic]

Thank you so much for this comment, it means a lot! Many of the string sounds are made with the SY Swarm machine, then the "horns" are made with the analog tracks. I'd say that a lot of it is in how they're "played", as in the amp and filter envelopes and sequencing. Thanks again!

[@moolder]

A huge sound from a compact machine. Awesome!

[@sinewaymusic]

It definitely punches above its weight! Thanks for your feedback. 🙏🌟

[@krazywabbit]

thank you. my ears enjoyed this

[@sinewaymusic]

I'm glad to hear that, thank you for listening! 🐮❤️

[@stofbug]

Impressive. The brass sounds make it feel like a real orchestra. Mission achieved.👍

[@sinewaymusic]

Thank you! On to the next mission. 🫡😅

[@Tensershow]

Wow and cute cows

[@unclerm]

Nice~~~~

[@sinewaymusic]

Thank you! 🙏

[@Bobo]

Wow this is really great. I can definitely see this being theme for a movie/game and would also be possible to add drums for this theme for different kind of settings. Well done 😄

[@sinewaymusic]

@@Bobo Thank you for your comment, it means a lot. You're right, I hear those movie soundtrack drums in my head sometimes when listening to this piece. With a couple of more tracks, we could have attempted it right on the Syntakt, but probably easier to add it in the DAW. 😊

🐮🐮🐮❤️❤️❤

[@TheIsolatedGamerz]

@5:00 that cow was looking at the camera

[@sinewaymusic]

She was definitely getting more and more curious the longer we played! I absolutely love cows. ❤🐮

[@simon1010]

Epic, well done !

[@sinewaymusic]

Thanks Simon! 🌟🙏

[@triphopper21]

Wow

[@MFPRODUCTIONSCHANNEL]

Sounds great! I'm wondering what powerbank / cables you use to power the Syntakt outdoors?

[@sinewaymusic]

@@MFPRODUCTIONSCHANNEL Thanks! I use a Birdcord 12V PD adapter from Songbird. Then any decently spec'ed PD compatible powerbank will do. 😊 I use a 65W PD powerbank which is probably a bit overkill as I'm told some have been successful with a 25W version. But 'PD' here is key - it stands for power delivery and it means it can deliver, among other voltages 12V. Hope this helps!

[@MFPRODUCTIONSCHANNEL]

@@sinewaymusic Thank you for your help!

[@mankismelbournejay]

Mooooove over Hans Zimmer❤ How are you powering the syntakt? I have one and would like to go portable as well. Thanks.

[@sinewaymusic]

@@mankismelbournejay Haha 😂 Appreciate the Hans Zimmer remark. 🐮 I'm using a Birdcord 12V PD cable and a PD compatible powerbank. It's really neat. My battery lasts for more than six hours on a full charge. 😊
