This is one out of a collection of synthesizer tracks that I’ve been sitting on for a long time. Apart from the percussion, Libration (not to be confused with liberation) Dub was made entirely with the Casio CZ-1000 analog phase distortion synthesizer.
For the fifth installment in my series of stacked polyphonic synthesizers I decided to combine the Casio CZ-1000 and the Roland Super Jupiter MKS-80. The Casio is making the whistle like sound, while the rest of it is produced by the MKS-80.
I isolated this string sound from my Ostraka set tonight at Short Circuit, “a monthly show set up to show case local and out of state electronic music artists” – from the Short Circuit Facebook Page. Tonight the line-up included WEb DiMension, Sputnik Viper, Square Wail, and Ostraka.
I produced this arpeggio on the Casio CZ-1000 using an upward pattern over several octaves.
I created this microtrack from a tiny sample of a chord played on my Casio CZ-1000. I looped the chord and then ran it through a effect chain with five plugins, including Ableton Resonators, MDA DubDelay, Auto Pan, Chorus, and Reverb. I automated several parameters such as the delay feedback and tone.
