Here's a new track. I wanted to bring the Tempest back in and use it again... but almost everything about it is just difficult to use... I tried to sequence the beats, but the OS would freeze when doing it that way, so I had to opt to manually change beats. Using the external sequencer kind of ruins half the fun of the Tempest, so I chose to do it all in the box, and it's great for that... but it's extremely hard to put a track together using the Tempest.

Gear used:
Cirklon 2 sequencer
DSI Tempest (drums)
Moog Minimoog (bass)
Roland SH-101 (Bass)
Sequential OB-6 (arp)
Roland JD-990 (initial melodic pad)
Oberheim Matrix 1000 (later pad sound)
Prophet 10 (secondary melody halfway through track)
NI Raum (Reverb)
DAW: Reaper

$Misadventures | A DSI Prophet 12 and Fractal Audio FM3 ambient soundscape Yesterday my wife lost her job. I guess it surprised neither of us, although that didnt make it any less painful. Going through our list of things we need to cancel and stop, like daycare for our three year old. On the week of our wedding anniversary too, it just added that extra little sting. Shes always come back with something better, but I guess you sit and wonder whether this time there will be something, with all the job cuts in what feels like every sector, so many will be doing the same thing, in a time when the competitiveness was already overwhelming. I guess for now we just wait and hope. Wait and hope. DSI Prophet 12 Fractal Audio FM3 for FX #prophet12 #fractalaudiofm3 #ambient$

$Waves of Evermore | A 3rd Wave 8M soundscape I picked up a 3rd wave 8M in a trade (my Jupiter 6 and Poly Evolver for their Xpander, 3rd Wave, Chase bliss Thermae, and cash) and honestly didnt think Id like the 3rd wave very much, after having played the 24 voice desktop. Surprisingly, I am liking it more than I thought I would. Cant say I like the voice count at 8, especially if you can get the 24 voice for $2500 used... but its not too bad. I just notice the voices dropping off on the 8M in a way I dont with other 8 voice synths like the Prophet VS. I wonder why that is, apart from maybe the 8M having a much longer release stage to the envelopes, but otherwise I have no idea. Well, I do like it, sounds really nice actually. Used the Fractal Audio FM3 for FX (couldve used the internal FX, but... maybe next time!). #3rdwave #Groovesynthesis #fractalaudiofm3$
