I thought it would be interesting to try a totally live pass with my synths to see if I could do it. I usually multi-track things separately.

How does it work?

The TR-707 is the master and in addition to playing the kick drum, its trigger out is triggering the sequencer of the SH-101, which plays the bass line. The TR-606 is slaved to the TR-707 via Din Sync. It provides hats, snare, cymbals and toms. Its high tom trigger-out is triggering the step-sequencer on the JX-3P. Its low tom is triggering the arpeggio clock on the Juno-6. The MS-20 is free and not sync'd to anything so I can play melodies on the fly.

Carl Sagan also drops by.

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: https://youtu.be/0D8d6Wy7thU

Sequential Circuits Pro-One (1981)
Korg MS20 (1978)
