Alex Ball - Sequential Circuits Pro~One | Carpentry

Jun 6, 2018 I’ve always loved 80s Sci-Fi soundtracks such as “Escape from New York“ and “The Terminator“. It’s by no means a coincidence that they both share something in common; The Sequential Circuits Prophet 5. As the P5 is about as rare as a unicorn and as expensive as a decent car, I’ll probably never get close to one. However, SCI’s monophonic version of it, the Pro-One can still be found if you keep your eyes open. And sure enough, I managed to snag one. So, here’s an original track following the spirit of those great scores. Minimal and atmospheric, my take on a spot of Carpentry. I’ve made a detailed walkthrough of the production and mixing of this track if that’s of interest: () Sounds used: Sequential Circuits Pro-One (1981) Korg MS20 (1978) Oberheim DX (1982) Squier Jagmaster (1998), Ibanez Tubescreamer TS808, Fender Blues Junior II (mic’d with an SM57) Some Linn LM-1 samples (cow bell, snare and tom doubles, shaker) Sequences and clocking via Arturia BeatStep Pro ________________________________________ ________________________________________ Original:
