This is a hard year for the world of electronic music. After the death of Klaus Schulze, Vangelis and Andrew Fletcher now one of the most influential pioneers and inventors of synthesizers and other electronic music equipment has passed away. Just 2 weeks ago he attended to the Berlin Superbooth event to present his latest cooperation with Tom Oberheim, the Oberheim OB-X8 syntheiszer.  He was in best mood and nobody who had seen him thee would have expected this terrible news.

I remember in his last synthesizer coup, which he had done for his own company SEQUENTIAL in 2021, the PROPHET-10 rev 4, which has been named the best synthesizer of 2021. I had composed a piece of music only on this fantastic synthesizer.

SUPERBOOTH 2021 – Special Report in 4 Episodes

Four days of electronic superpower are over. Superbooth 2021 was THE event, we all waited for so long. After 2 1/2 years it happened again in Berlin and it was a full success. Nearly 140 companies presented their latest instruments and innpvations around the field of electronic music. And I was in the middle of that field and filmed like a whirlwind with my camera and captured everything I could get: interviews, music, the atmosphere and good mood. You can watch my impressions in four very long episodes of FREAK-OUT-YOUR-SYNTH on YouTube. Click on the videos to jump over…and take some time watching it.

You will need it 😉

SEQUENTIAL PROPHET-10 SYNTHESIZER

 

Hello together,

I am happy to announce the third episode of my synthesizer tutorial series FREAK-OUT-YOUR-SYNTH.

In this episode I present the Prophet-10 analog synthesizer from SEQUENTIAL.  It is a beauty and a beast in one instrument. After a short introduction I present the several modules, like the oscillators or the very versatile filter module. It is like a life demonstartion. The sound was directly recorded during the film session. The video ends with a brandnew episode of ONE-SYNTH-ONLY In this video you can see the Prophet in action. I recorded a complete piece of music with this synthesizer only.

So enjoy the video now, leave your comments, like it and subscribe to my YouTube channel.

Have a good time
