ABEL DE BEER

Hello! It’s been a while! I’ve just uploaded a 45-minute tutorial to my YouTube channel on how to create this patch for the Prophet Rev2. I cover how to have one LFO modulate another, and dive deep into the sound design that makes this patch so interesting. Enjoy! Link: abeldebeermusic.com PS: As you may have noticed, I’m not participating in Jamuary this year. However, I will be more active making music in the coming months. Most of that will be offline, but I’ll try to share more of what I’m working on. #prophetrev2 #tutorial #youtube #synthesizer #synthesizers #synth #synthpatch #synthpatcher #synthpatchers #synths #modulation #lfo #videolesson @sequential_llc (at Utrecht, Netherlands) https://www.instagram.com/p/CYWzak3ttTu/?utm_medium=tumblr

I’ve just uploaded a 30-minute tutorial to my YouTube channel on how to recreate ‘my version of the Blade Runner sound’ on the Prophet Rev2. This one was requested by multiple people over the past year. If you use the patch in your music, please tag / contact me - I’d love to hear what you do with it. #prophetrev2 #prophetsynth #sequentialprophet #tutorial #videotutorial #synthtutorial #synth #synths #synthesizer #synthesizers #keystep #keystep37 #arturiakeystep #bladerunner #bladerunner2049 #vangelis #cyberpunk #cyberpunk2077 (at Utrecht) https://www.instagram.com/p/CLMVXI3hKnk/?igshid=ujmht29ibjd0

Day 28 of #jamuary2021: I wanted to experiment with some #glitchy sounds on the #digitakt and this is what I came up with. I’m always pleasantly surprised by how good the reverb on the Digitakt sounds. Bell sounds inspired by @panthaduprince_official.

Day 26 of #jamuary2021: I started this jam by trying to create a #prophetrev2 patch that sounds similar to what I’ve heard @rivalconsoles do. I’m not sure I succeeded, but I’m happy with what I ended up with. Drums and sequencing on the @synthstrom #deluge, bass on the @dreadbox.fx #typhon.

Day 24 of #jamuary2021: this thing on the #digitakt. Full thing on YouThing. #jamuary #808 #tr808 #vinyl #lofi #lofihiphop #elektrondigitakt #analogheat #beats #bleepbloop #boombap #beat #beats #beatmaker #lofibeats #housebeats #goodnight (at Utrecht) https://www.instagram.com/p/CKcwjHQhujp/?igshid=19474bw8semyu

In the middle of yesterday’s brutal #jamuary2021 jam is this #ambient section, like an oasis in an industrial wasteland. This synth sound on the @synthstrom #deluge is from one of @synth_patches_com’s fantastic #boardsofdeluge packs, with a healthy dose of shimmer #reverb from the @sourceaudio #ventris. #jamuary #synthstromdeluge #ventrisreverb #synthesizer #synth #ambientmusic #bladerunner #bladerunner2049 #cyberpunk #cyberpunk2077 #vangelis #shimmer #synthpatcher https://www.instagram.com/p/CKYzLkbhMmJ/?igshid=12p00jflbtnvx

Day 22 of #jamuary2021: Using some massive tape-saturated samples from @blankfor.ms’ “Bea.ts” pack - make sure you listen to this one on a good pair of speakers or headphones - the full jam is on my YouTube channel. Also features #lyra8 samples from @soma_laboratory and SFX from @originsounduk. I’m so happy with the @synthstrom #deluge as a stereo sampler - that’s a big plus over the Digitakt. There’s a second part to this jam that is completely different - I’ll share that in a next post. #jamuary #beats #samples #sampler #samplepack #synthstromdeluge #analogheat #tape #tapesaturation #darkmusic #cyberpunk #darkhiphop #instrumental #instrumentalhiphop #triphop #downtempo #industrial #industrialmusic (at Utrecht) https://www.instagram.com/p/CKXeEsmB3EK/?igshid=1fckqzfuhpu1g

Day 20 of#jamuary2021: Trying out the new @arturia_official #microfreak v3 oscillators by @noiseeng, in this case the harmonic one, with spacial fx from the @empress_effects #zoia. I love how the @synthstrom #deluge’s sequencer and grid encourage me to break out of a standard 4 step/measure/bar pattern. Bass from the @dreadbox.fx #typhon. Sidechain compression on the pad and bass using the @suonobuono_instruments #nabc, triggered by the Deluge. The drum samples are from the @samplephonics_official #futuregarage pack. Tiny vocal sample is from the a capella version of @billieeilish’s “My Future”. Full jam on my YouTube channel - link in bio. #jamuary #arturiamicrofreak #synthstromdeluge #dreadboxtyphon #empresszoia #nabcp #futuregarage #futuregaragemusic #ukgarage #ukgaragemusic #2step #twostep #billieeilish #billieeilishedits #electronicmusic #musicproducer (at Utrecht) https://www.instagram.com/p/CKTv2EhBFn7/?igshid=1mm3zyj5nxgvl

Day 19 of #jamuary2021: An #improvisation on the @dreadbox.fx #typhon. Up until now you’ve mostly seen me use the #dreadboxtyphon for distorted or highly effected sounds, but the main reason I bought the #synth is because of its analog oscillators and filter. So here I’m just playing a single saw wave, with some reverb from the @sourceaudio #ventris. I’m using the #refacecp as just a MIDI controller.

Day 18 of #jamuary2021: I've been listening to @rodhad_dystopian a lot recently, this is clearly inspired by his sound. I think this flavor of #techno is so hard to make - in my opinion it's all about finding the right balance between subtlety and intensity. This is the first time I've used the MIDI loopback trick on the @weareelektron #digitakt: I have an LFO on a MIDI track controlling a parameter of another track. The full jam is on my YouTube channel! #jamuary #elektrondigitakt #analogheat #ventris #rodhad #technomusic #technolovers #technoproducer #rave #ravemusic #dancemusic #electronicmusic #dystopian #dawless #dawlessjam (at Utrecht) https://www.instagram.com/p/CKOQb2ZhBIV/?igshid=qj08grxmtb40

Day 17 of #jamuary2021: It's surprisingly easy to create a patch on the @dreadbox.fx #typhon that sounds like you're summoning alien whales. This is mainly tweaking the filter, but the most prominent effect is the stereo chorus with a LOT of feedback. Reverb is also from the Typhon (is pretty good right?!). The full 10-minute video is on my YouTube channel. #jamuary #dreadboxtyphon #dreadbox #ambient #ambientmusic #abstractmusic #experimentalmusic #whales #minimalmusic #atonal #aliens #synth #synthesizer #synthpatcher #synthpatchers #synthpatch #synths (at Utrecht) https://www.instagram.com/p/CKKjX5-hbI3/?igshid=1dj3omlcsas5j

Day 16 of #jamuary2021: I hooked my #kalimba up to the @chaseblissaudio #thermae, #mood and #blooper and @sourceaudio #ventris to experiment with combining an acoustic instrument with digital effects. The #digitakt is sequencing the #chaseblissmood by switching between the loop channel (env mode) and wet channel (slip mode). The kalimba is recorded using the Tascam DR-05. #jamuary #kalimbamusic #kalimbamusicalinstrument #kalimbainstrument #ambient #ambientmusic #guitarpedals #guitareffects #glitchy #glitchmusic #experimentalmusic (at Utrecht) https://www.instagram.com/p/CKIELIWB6DY/?igshid=qlz0nvwjkt0k

Day 14 of #jamuary2021: I got a super dusty sound out of the @yamahasynths_official #refacecp by running it through 2 @digitechfx #rubberneck delays at 100% wet. This why you see me playing notes but hear them a beat later. The @synthstrom #deluge is sequencing the #reface, including the #beat and vinyl crackle. #jamuary #yamahareface #yamaharefacecp #dodrubberneck #synthstromdeluge #dusty #beats #beatmaker #lofihiphop #lofi #lofibeats #lofimusic #triphop #triphopmusic #downtempo #rhodes #rhodespiano #electricpiano #mood #moody #moodymusic (at Utrecht) https://www.instagram.com/p/CKEHoJXBUa3/?igshid=1xbga0s44s7ak

Day 13 of #jamuary2021: revisiting this patch on the @sequential_llc #prophetrev2 with which I opened last year’s #jamuary. Reverb from the @gfisystem #specularreverb (off-screen). #ambient #ambientmusic #cyberpunk #soundtrack #bladerunner #synth #synths #synthesizer #synthesizers #specularreverb2 #epicmusic (at Utrecht) https://www.instagram.com/p/CKAdGlGBnbl/?igshid=5zanoxa3n6py

Day 12 of #jamuary2021: a battle between digital (@korgofficial #volcadrum) and analog (@dreadbox.fx #typhon) #synths! The #volca goes through the @timetosser, @sourceaudio #ventris and @weareelektron #analogheat. I think I went to a club once where the music was like this. My vision then was probably as blurry as my camera's is here.

Day 11 of #jamuary2021: just like last year, I sampled @raeleenikole and used it in this @synthstrom #deluge jam. I used #spleeter by @deezer to isolate the vocals from her video, which worked surprisingly well. The full jam is on my YouTube channel! Oh and yes: I missed 2 days of Jamuary. Caught up on sleep and spent some time with friends and family. It was nice. #jamuary #raeleenikole #synthstromdeluge #analogheat #sampler #vocals #singer #vocalsample #dub #ukgarage #2step #futuregarage #electronicmusic #idm #musicproducer #dancemusic #dubmusic (at Utrecht) https://www.instagram.com/p/CJ7Sj4ah8hD/?igshid=1cof6ks7h0aer

Day 8 of #jamuary2021: I recently recorded my dad playing his #saxophone and loaded the samples into the @synthstrom #deluge, which supports multisampling. It’s interesting to play an acoustic instrument like this. Subtle reverb from the @sourceaudio #ventris.
