This has a lot to do with being relaxed and was done in the mood of having some cool – hot summer days (and enjoying a great german „multikulti“ soccer team).
Improvisation XI – Let’s Party
This is an easy listening tune. Some modular synth drums, some Karplus-Strong sequence, some ladder filtered bass, lots of fun!
Doepfer A-101-3 Modular 12 Stage Vactrol Phaser example
Well, we probably all know the sound of a phaser. Nothing too special, although there are some famous ones around. Just one of these beautiful additional effects. The A-101-3 can do more. It offers access to inputs and outputs of all 12 shifting stages and it allows for different modulation sources for stage 1-6 versus stage 7-12.
Improvisation X – Harmless. Unfortunately?
This is quite a retro sounding piece and my Kotau to the great Berlin School in the 70ies. Great Artists! (Edgaer Froese, Klaus Schulze, all the others…)
Doepfer A-106-1 Xtreme Filter example
This is an extreme filter. Pure rock and roll. Doepfer has created a beautifully distorting nonlinear monster, inspired by the Korg MS-20 filters (a 6 dB highpass and a 12 dB lowpass filter). Both HP and LP modes are available simultaneously (via normalized input jacks). The „real deal“ however will need two A-106-1 filters: this allows for independent filter frequencies for HP and LP.
