If you didn’t have the opportunity to “Try This” the first or the second time, now’s your third chance. If you already “Tried” DGK, you know what’s up and will be there on Friday. Click here for details. Here’s a piece of DGK history from “Try This #2”.
DGK at Try This 2 (Part 1)
I played these dense open ninth chords triggering both the Roland D-50 and the Roland MKS-80 simultaneously.
Ninth Chords on Stacked Polys
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.
Stacked MKS80 and CZ1000
I created this polyphonic wind sound on the Roland MKS-80 using the Bitstream 3X to manually modulate the filter to give it a more natural and irregular sounding whistle. I did this rather than using the LFO because although I could adjust the rate the sweep would be automated and too regular instead of being based on human judgement. I am presenting it here in mono with no processing. If I were to use this I would process it in several ways including some volume automation, panning, equalization, probably a bit of slap back delay for stereo imaging, and a fairly short linear reverb that doesn’t sound too roomy.
Manually Modulated Polyphonic Wind
I accidentally created this pack of cyber wolves on the Super Jupiter. I was dialing in sounds while watching the oscilloscope and getting all sorts of crunchy delights when all of a sudden I was hearing these eerie howls. Fortunately I was recording all along, so afterward I edited it down to the best bits and uploaded it for your enjoyment.
