Improvised synth lead solo using Push

Post by TheSleeve » Wed Nov 27, 2013 8:29 pm

Here's my first live improvised solo using the Push.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9MBxZqrG ... F3&index=1

I created the synth lead sound starting with a basic sine tone, added some distortion, a few velocity-dependent filters with resonance, a sidechained bandpass filter oscillating on an LFO, and of course some synchronized delay for ambiance. It's amazing what you can do with a simple synth sound as a starting point and then just layering on the additional levels of complexity.

I use the Push primarily in Chromatic scale mode when I'm playing an instrument. It matches the layout of the guitar (semitone when moving up a column, perfect 4th when moving up a row).

I'll have some more stuff to post soon. Enjoy!

Thanks!

I'll post more stuff soon! I'm thinking of using the few days I have off from work around New Years to spend a bunch of time on composing and recording some new songs.
