Transistor Sandwich

Teenage Dreamscape

This poppity throwback was built using mostly sounds from Arturia’s Analog Lab V (VST), with a few helpers thrown in from MuLab’s built-in synths.

Snappy the Turtle

Made with IK Multimedia Syntronic, Audio Damage Tattoo Percussion Synthesizer, KV331 Audio Synthmaster Player, a smattering of samples and assundry MuLab presets.

Dah’ren Sunrise

Another experiment in slaving a collection of VST instruments to a malfunctioning Korg i3 Workstation (1993). This time, I capture a pop rock style preset. This old i3 doesn’t produce sound anymore, so by capturing the multiple MIDI channels of a preset style pattern, I’m able to breath new life into it by assigning those channels to a sandwich of VSTs.

Cybertronic Starlust

A hard-pumping pop track built from auto-accompaniment sequences from a vintage Korg i3 Workstation sandwiched into a collection of modern VSTs.

Christmas in Rockland

A red bobble next to a tiny evergreen tree in a field of snow

A laid-back but power rhythm leads a Vangelis-esque pulsing bass drone, accompanied by a choir synthetic and sampled voices from around the world. Add a little bit of regal horn and sparkling hand bells, and you’ve set the scene for Christmas in Rockland.

Pyroplastic Heartbeat

blue gloved hands holding a red heart in the moonlight

A driving beat provided by the Yamaha MM6 auto accompaniment, with a stack of studio synths on the melodies along with a smattering of VSTs thrown in.
