This is my personal rendition of the song "La Petite Fille de la Mer".
It was not my intention to replicate it exactly. Vangelis' songs are truly unique and very difficult to replicate, so I hope you can forgive my humble performance skills.
The sound you hear is the very first patch I programmed on my new Behringer UB-Xa. I love how incredibly expressive the poly aftertouch is!
Strings and choir were added later (using Roland VP-03).
External FX: Boss DC-2w, ChaseBliss CXM-1978

Cheers!SP-404mkII + GAIA 2 A bit of you a song by gattobusgattobus2023-12-28 | SP-404mkII is a new entry in my setup. It's my first sampler since I sold my Octatrack 4 years ago. I started sampling some phrases, playing some of my favorite presets on GAIA 2 and then I rearranged everything, chopping, slicing and rearranging everything using the internal SP-404 mkII sequencer.
Everything was very easy and intuitive, and this song came out by itself! It was a very fun and creative process!
I hope you like this song!

Today this song is resonating again with my feelings so I decided to play it and to shoot a video. It happens sometimes that your mind is filled with the same thoughts, coming back again and again and you feel stuck in an endless loop. This song is about this. I don't think there's a solution to that, maybe you just need to let things flow, just like I let this song flow through my fingers in order to share it with you.
This song was composed and played using Ericasynths Syntrx only. As usual everything was played and recorded in real time. No overdubs. I also added Korg SDD-3000 and Chase Bliss Audio CXM-1978 as delay/reverb. The track was mastered and finalized using Ableton Live 11.n/zyme Song Demo (5/5): Waves of Memory by gattobusgattobus2022-12-16 | This is the last video on my n/zyme walkthroughs.

It contains a lot of arpeggio styles and all the chord progressions and harmonies for past, present and future music: it's up to you how to put them together and create new cool songs. Korg NTS-1 and norns shield are the perfect couple to create cool digital soundscapes and FX: I love them. Boss Dm-2w is one if the best analog delay stompbox I've ever had: it sounds huge and creamy and it adds that warm analog texture to anything you put through it. This song was born while I was just playing around with these little boxes, I hope you like it!Lighthouse song by gattobus - Roland J-6 / T-8 / T.E. OP-1fieldgattobus2022-09-08 | I recorded this song during my summer vacation in Vieste (Puglia, Italy). I used Roland Aira Compact J-6, T-8 and Teenage Engineering OP-1.

A few days ago they sent me these little magic boxes to try them out and in less than an hour of tweaking, I came out with this song!!! The song title "A Big Tiny World" is because they are BIG sounding TINY boxes indeed! :D They are:
Their sound quality is astonishing! It's amazing to have the power of ACB technology in such a small form factor... Everything you hear in this video was played and recorded in real time, no post processing or FX was added.

Every sound you hear in this video comes from this instrument, no overdubs, everything's been played in real time using the 5 internal parts, iArpeggio and the step sequencer. Inside of each unit that you will find in the stores, there's also a piece of me as I had the privilege to create a lot of factory tones, scenes and the new iArpeggio 2.0 patterns! I put a lot of love into it and I'm so happy with the final result. I have never felt so good with a synth since System-8, my first real job for Roland. It's a great honour for me to collaborate with them. This simple song that I played, is not just a demo, it's a declaration of love towards life, for the fact that it led me to do (at least for me) the most beautiful job in the world. I would like to thank president Jun-Ichi Miki, Hisakazu Yamasato, Akihiro Nagata, Yoshinori Iwamoto, Gota Miyabashira and all the amazing people in Roland I've been in contact with during the last 5 years. You are like superheroes to me, you're really making my dreams come true. I hope this is only the beginning.

This is a live recording of me playing withy my modular. I'm playing over two overlapping sequences, each with different measures. This patch is quite simple, just a DPO drone, Bresnso going into a stereo filter (Popple) with Falistri used as double-envelope. Everything was driven by Fraptools Usta sequencer. Some randomness here and there using Fraptools Sapèl.Roland FANTOM 3.0 - n/zyme Model Expansiongattobus2022-01-21 | Roland announces the n/zyme Model Expansion for the FANTOM synthesizer series. n/zyme is a thoroughly modern instrument with an innovative new synth engine. Featuring wavetable oscillators, wave drawing tools, phase and shape modulation, resonant filters, and two powerful step LFOs, n/zyme is a sound designer's dream, an incredible tool for sound exploration, making FANTOM the most powerful hardware synthesizer on earth.

Before shooting the video I set Fantom as main audio card and I also set it as remote controller on Ableton Live 11 MIDI preferences.

Thank you for watching!Circles - Eurorack Modular Song by gattobusgattobus2021-03-07 | Headphones recommended!!!
This song is just a test run for some of my new modules. I used Frap Tools USTA as main sequencer which is driving all the voices on my system, using 3 out of its 4 tracks. The main arpeggio comes from BRENSO VCO, envelopes from FALISTRI and some random magic from SAPÈL. I also added the new Mutable Instruments Beads for some granular texture on the background. White noise and Makenoise MMG (hit by some euclidean pulses) were used for the rhythm track. Everything was played in real time and recorded straight to my audio card on Ableton Live. I hope you like it. Thanks for watching!Doinit right - a Daft Punk tribute by gattobusgattobus2021-02-23 | I want to share this cover one more time, to express how important this band is to me.

Thanks for watching! :-)Erica synths Syntrx - Rock n roll by gattobusgattobus2020-12-19 | I bought myself this synth for Christmas, it arrived yesterday and I spent all night playing and tweaking... this is what came out from it. Played and recorded on the fly, straight to my audio card, no FX added except for a little bit of compression. I think I barely scratched the surface of this wild beast... but I already love it so much!!! I had the chance to try a real EMS Synthi some time ago, Syntrx sounds different indeed, but the matrix structure offers the same possibilities with some extras. FM, Ring mod and even the spring reverb with feedback, all of them sound so musical in every setting! It's amazing! I hope you enjoyed this short video!

Here's an experiment with my old Landola acoustic guitar. I played some dirty/muted notes and sampled them across 4 octave range (E1-E5), then I processed the samples through FANTOM ZEN-Core engine, adding some synth layers, using the filter to add expression and dynamics.
Once the patch was ready, I started playing (and recording) straight away and this sort of jam came out... there are some mistakes and sometimes I lost the timing... but I was improvising and everything was played and composed on the fly! :D I had a lot of fun, I hope you like it too!
