NEON Sitar
NEON Sitar is a synth duo that uses a generous amount of Moog sound. We play music from Bach, Ponty, C. Corea and my own. Hope you enjoy it: http://www.neonsitar.com

Re: NEON Sitar
Thank you kindly stiiiiiiive.
We were enchanted by Niki de Saint Phalle representations. As you noticed our pictures have clues .
The reversed keyboard is a custom built controller. For "Mirage" I needed semi-weighted action but it is not that kind of keyboard.
The result shows in my strained left arm (only left hand should have that kind of tension).
Cheers

Re: NEON Sitar
That electric violin sound is slick. I guess it comes from the LP... perhaps combined with samples?

It is a complex patch. The body of the tone, so to speak, is generated on a Voyager (pulse waveforms). Bow and articulation, however, are digitally generated (no samples though). A lot more goes around between one of Voyager's oscillators and performance data but the general description is done.
Last week I happened to listen to an actual violin and realized how much I had drifted apart.
Other Voyager parts in this number are: drones, strings, and the glu-glu effect:

The second solo's sound (red lights) comes from a LP.

No regular bass sound used, with Moogs around?
Re: NEON Sitar
No, SaussDigit, not on this one. We wanted an evocative sound, meaning, electrified contrabass.SaussDigit wrote: Thanks Filipe.

Apart from de violin partial, we use Moogs to sound like Moogs.

Hey Filipe, I dig your video!
Are you willing to tell, is any part sequenced?
And what does the laptop-smashing routine mean?

How do you use your Tribute's cv? Do you think it is worth having it installed?

Most of drum work is sequenced.
A portion of rhythm guitar track

is doctored; lack of practice prevented the perfect take.
Nothing fancy; GarageBand was used I try to shy away from sequencers; they get in my way.
Does laptop smashing have a meaning for you? That must be it. For me it is hard to put it into words.
