Eric Brad Posted December 29, 2020 Posted December 29, 2020 Resurrected this from 25 years of tinkering on various Cakewalk releases. This is the 2002 version that I finally settled on. Title: "Across the Longest Night" Synths: Kurzweil K2500 and Roland JV-2080 https://www.bandlab.com/ericbrad/across-the-longest-night-11d9fef7?revId=e06d495a-6949-eb11-a607-0050f28a2802 No elves were harmed in the making of this music. 3
Bajan Blue Posted December 30, 2020 Posted December 30, 2020 Eric sounds good - were they "real" synths or in the box? Its just that I have a K4 Kurzweil and a Roland JX3P (real ones!) that I have just decided to use on some tracks we are doing - cant beat the sound of the real thing!!! Nigel

They were in fact the actual hardware synths. The piece was written and produced between 1994 and 2002 and went through several iterations. For example, I began writing it on an Ensoniq SQ-1 and Roland D-50 back in the day. The version I posted had some minor tweaks in 2001-2002 and sounds replaced with The Kurz and the Roland JV-2080. I've pretty much moved to all soft synths at this point but I still have the Kurz and JV if I ever want to pull them out. I'm pretty happy with what can be done in soft synths and samplers, especially within CbB. 1

bjornpdx Posted January 5, 2021 Posted January 5, 2021 Great layering of arps and synth leads! Love this. My very first synth was the rackmount ESQ-M. Sold it a long time ago and wish I hadn't just for nostalgia sake. 1
garybrun Posted January 6, 2021 Posted January 6, 2021 Sounds nice on my Focal Trio's Eric. Very festive.
