Live Modular Synth Performance

Martin Peter’s A Birds Theme – alive modular synth performance.

via attorks:

My fiftiest video already. And we have a midget module in our midst! I bought a second hand Blacet MiniWave at the end of last year. I always wondered what the possibilities were with this module. I found the ModCan version somewhat expensive. The module was delivered last Monday. After fixing some problems with it, last night it was working.

This evening I started the Doepfer sequencer with a 6 step sequence on row one and out of nothing the first sequence you hear was running out of the MiniWave using the standard bank 14. Row 3 with a 16 step sequence controls the variation of the wave of the MiniWave. Adding a high pitched 8 step sequence on row two for the self-built Modular resulted in a bird-like sound.

Adding the Mellotron strings part on the Roland XP-80 was easy. Solo’s on the Nord Lead 1 and the Waldorf Q Keyboard to add some variety.

  1. After so many video's (according to the story) I'd expect him to be able to at least master some basic accords instead of letting the gear do all the work. I didn't quite like this one; most sound effects are pretty common and standard, the background is very repetitive yet often manages to push itself to the foreground (leading or background; but don't try both) and the added setup for the "performance" was way less than expected.

    With "performance" I expect a performance; that is not simply playing a load of presets and be done with it. IMO this was a somewhat nice studo session, but not a performance.
