Polymoog 203A Synthesizer: A Sonic Exploration

This video is a personal ’sonic exploration’. I tried to capture how I would use it’s sounds to create music. Chapters 1. Beat 1 0:00 2. Strings 1 2:17 3. Sample And Hold 3:56 4. Beat 2 5:26 5. Strings 2 7:10 Notes: Everything has been recorded using an Audient ASP880 pre-amp / Audient ID22 Audio interface. Chapter 1 and 4 has an EHX Frequency Shifter enabled in it’s signal chain for slow movement. Drums are (samples) from a Korg Minipops. In post the sound has been processed using Waves SSL Compressors and Valhalla Vintage Verb. In almost all chapters I only have the VCF (voltage controlled filter) with it’s own envelope generator enabled in the Polymoog’s master gain controls. I did this because this way I can sculpt it’s sound more to my liking. It’s envelope generator is however monophonic, so there is ’re-triggering’ happening each time you play something polyphonic. You hear this ’re-triggering’ best in chapter 1. You could see this as a limitation, but I think it forces you to play more creatively. Thanks all for your nice comments and support, it is truly appreciated..! -Jasper Support me on Patreon: Get exclusive content, early access, unreleased songs and more. Vinyl:
