Rico Benavides - Soaring (Ambient music made on the GS e7 by GS Music)
I made a patch on the GS e7 and recorded this short performance. The GS e7 is played using the MPE controller Roli Lightblock M. The only external effect I added was reverb using Valhalla Supermassive in Ableton Live.

1# Creation on the Elektron Model Cycles (Lo-fi beat) - This thing sounds good !
Переглядів 9 тис.3 роки тому
First beat made on the Elektron Model Cycles. This is new territory for me, been using Ableton for the last year and Akai Force prior to that. This little groovebox has a lot to offer, it goes really deep in relation to its size and price tag, and there is something special to FM-synthesis - many sounds to explore. #Elektron #ModelCycles #Lofi
Rico Benavides - Lighthouse Lonely (Full track, Ambient, Novation Peak)
Переглядів 2974 роки тому
This track was made by layering six different patches of the Novation Peak in Ableton. All sounds are from the Novation Peak. Even the wave sound was made on the Peak using white noise, a long attack and long delay on the amp envelope and then playing with the cutoff filter.

Seventh creation on the Akai Force (also using Novation Peak) - Rico Benavides
Переглядів 1,4 тис.4 роки тому
This is my first track where I've integrated the Novation Peak in my setup. It works perfectly with the Akai Force. As you might see or hear the Akai Force is controlling several parameters of the Novation Peak by MIDI CC using automation. I've made a separate video on how that works if you're interested :) ua-cam.com/video/NDRmkcLAi2E/v-deo.html The main progression here was made using a custo...
CLAIR DE LUNE on the Novation Peak (Slow version, Chill, Relaxing, Dreamy) | Rico Benavides
Переглядів 6584 роки тому
I made this custom patch on the Novation Peak for Claude Debussy's Clair de Lune. The Novation Peak is such a wonderful synth! Here I use the Akai Force as the sequencer sending Midi to the Peak. The sound is then fed back to the Akai Force where it's recorded. Enjoy! #novationpeak #clairdelune #relaxing
Ambient music made on Novation Peak and Akai Force - Rico Benavides (Relaxing, Chill)

Recently I've been inspired by other creators to make ambient music. The Novation Peak is truly a great synth for ambient music, and paired with the Akai Force the possibilities are endless. This composition uses custom made Novation Peak patches and a few samples from Splice. If you want to see how the two devices are connected; here a previous tutorial I made: ua-cam.com/video/NDRmkcLAi2E/v-d...
