    Thank you! No reverb, just the onboard analogue effects in glorious mono which are the best bit of the synth IMO.

    always come back to this clip. lovely themes, and such dreamy, nostalgic pairing with the visuals.
    favorite bit: slow synthy wave over night rain drive

    Brilliant work in showcasing how beautiful the Abyss is, but also what a mesmerising composition, sonically and visually.
    The children at 16:20 are wonderful, and a sweet reminder of how life could feel most of our days. Fantastic peace of art and so well put together. Thank you for sharing 🙏

    I just spent 10 days in corona quarantine and kept coming back to this video. Really helped me through the isolation. I even made a little remix with the first melody just so I can hear it as a full track 😅 reach out to me if you ever want to hear it... Thanks for the amazing sounds!

  • @cougarman8

    Are all the synth sounds coming from the abyss? Is any of it coming from the elektron box (analog four?) or is that just sequencing the abyss? Incredible video!

    • @skrapadelix
      @skrapadelix  2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Thanks - all sounds are Abyss only. The Octatrack was sequencing the Abyss on 4 separate tracks and providing some drum machine samples.

    If you've seen this video, and the Nick Batt and Gaz Sonic State video, and you aren't sold on the sound of this synth, I doubt you want it. This video is so damn good. I've turned it on just to listen to it in the background. Kudos!

      Hi Vanandruel, you might also want to look into the Vermona Perfourmer, too. I found an older edition used for 450 euros (newest edition in shops like 1300 or so). It has LOTS of character and a very special interface.

      Paul Boos Sacrilege! How could you sell such a classy and non-disturbing antique heirloom? Seriously though, those things are demented, especially when Charlie’s face turns red and smoke comes out of his ears.

      @skrapadelix  4 ปีที่แล้ว

      Thanks! It’s a bittersweet video for me as I sold the Abyss and miss it a lot. Hopefully a V2 will one day appear with better VCO calibration as they didn’t always track too well. Erebus 3 is an awesome little synth isn’t it?

    • @skrapadelix
      @skrapadelix  6 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      Thanks. Yes, it's a great 'character' synth if you already have a more versatile/traditional poly synth. The Abyss is unique, beautiful and atmospheric but also fairly limited in what it can do.
