Yazoo-Don't Go made with only Pro-Tone and Plasma drumsynth

cw_swede · Post by **cw_swede** » Mon Feb 25, 2008 1:06 am

I'm on my way to sell my whole Creamware-system so this seems to be the only demo from me.

It started with Unease scans of Vince data of the sounds to Don't Go...I wanted to see how Pro-Tone sounds like compared to the original.

The song is made completely with Creamware and Pro-Tone with Plasma as drumsynth. Soem sounds are dubbed to be fatter. 8-9 instances are used totally.
The MIDI is downloaded from net with only a simple end made by me.
I've noticed that drums are not complete, only bassdrum, snare and handclap is mapped. Snare and clap are joined with reverb from creamware.
If anyone wants the saved project and sound I can send it.

There are 2 versions, one is my friend and the other his 13-year old daughter.
This first post is my friend's version.

my favourite is the miranda version.

the synth is somewhat different, but there have been much much worse attempts..

nice remake, really. sad to hear it's the last one. would like to hear your version of "nobody's diary"...

Nice! Have you used a plasma's preset kit or a custom one?
Until I've bought Flexor, Plasma was one of my favourite synth, because it's so handy and not so DSP demanding.

Seeing that the drum track is so essential I would suggest to use kick-me for the BD and the Wavelenght drumVox for the clap

I used one of the presets and modified it a bit. But not that much I think.
Yes, I should used those seperate drums instead..that would be much better I think.
The DSP power is almost at 100% for this project... 8-9 instaces of Pro-Tone and I think 2-3 of them in 2-voice mode and the Plasma.
2 1632-mixers, ADAT out and MIDI-source IN.
I have ADAT out only to my EMU-1820M.
And some reverb-plug for snare and clap.
Will take a snapshot of project this evening and put here.

ProTone sounds really good.

Nice job CW SWEDE.

Please keep posting music here. I need to hear more cool synth stuff so I may learn as many tricks as possible.

Plasma drums?

Wasn't that a stock CW synth?

A sound examples of :

EDS16i - has 16 sounds. http://erikhall.mine.nu/~ronny/eds16i.mp3

and Plasma - has 14 sounds:
http://erikhall.mine.nu/~ronny/plasma.mp3

Only stepping through preset-list with same boring 4-pattern made by me.
The first 2-pattarns are BD1/SD1 and the last 2 is BD2/SD2.
The rest is just mapped to hear all sounds...the pitch-glides is just me changing preset during playback.
First I'm running through all presets and at the end I'm playing a little with params for BD1/SD1.

Cool!

Miranda doesn't sound like a 13 year old.

Yupp, old sins

VL do not longer exist...but friends of mine are playing, Colony-5 and Elegant Machinery..we will visit Mera Luna...as always...EM is playing there this year.
It was the C-5 guys who introduced me into CW-world, they have used it, don't know how much these days...but the "Re-Fixed" contains some at least.
A former member of C-5 who did the "remixes".

elegant machinery was one of the acts I missed unfortunately, those times.
the memento samplers were full of some very interesting swedish bands, like malaise and covenant, children within...
nice to hear that some of them are still around.
