Who has uploads of music they made while using Cantabile?

Here are some of our recent rehearsal room recordings (properly mixed afterwards :sunglasses:):

All keyboard parts are Cantabile; guitars captured DI and also processed through the plugins I use in Cantabile.

Don’t want to over-post, so if you’re interested, you can find the full 8-song playlist here.

Cheers,

Torsten

Nailed Eddie’s guitar tone! And the Oberheim too, it’s funny because everyone plays that keyboard part when they hear a wide open saw patch but it’s hard to really get it exact.

Wasn’t really aiming for “exact” - mainly wanted to get the overall vibe right… One of the secrets to the sound is to not have the filter wide open; rather close it quite a bit and play with the filter envelope vs. the amp envelope. Also, I routed the output of the synth through a bit of tape saturation to warm it up.

BTW: the synth is none of the usual “clone” suspects, but Surge XT - but with some “classic synth” wavetables borrowing the Oberheim sawtooth…

I remember playing “Jump” in bands of the 80s/90s. I still have a live recording from one of the bands here. I had a Kurzweil K2500 in the 90s where I didn’t get the sound completely right but now there are other options.

Nicely done! It was Jarre’s music which got me into keyboards way way back :smiley:
I really need to get of my bum and do something with my Equinoxe 7 cover.

Thank you Laura, do you also have a you-tube channel where i can listen to your performances ?
If you need some sequences you can email me at albertvvl@gmail.com

Hello,
I do have a channel, my work is all over the boat. https://www.youtube.com/@aural_escape

Much of what I have on there is pre-cantabile.
I have only started using cantabile 12 months ago, uploading what I’ve done with it in the last 8-9 months. I think this one may interest you, in the past being quoted as Jarre like, I personally cant see the connection. Although it’s pre cantabile ( I hope no one minds ), it will be re-done with Cantabile as I feel its a bit weak in parts, (especially the start of the melody).
I still have anxiety (and arthritis) issues which you rarely see me play anything. that in it self is a work in progress.

Hey Laura,

Not bad at all, and the Jm Jarre influences are certainly there.
What equipment are you using ?

Greetings, Albert

Thanks :smiley:
Instruments I used for this then was SY77,SY35,MC307,XD-5.
run by daw on one PC, audio mixed with a Tascam MM-1
to another PC to record the session.
I have no idea yet what VST’s I’ll be using for the new recording of it.
Regards :smiley:
