    As a P5 owner, I've watched this before but feel like I should be required to watch it at least once a month. Having a 4th (including noise) sound source in the filter, the sync on osc A (which you can then modulate with the LFO) and the LF option on osc B, not to mention the simple joy of chorusing osc A and B....this synth does a LOT more than it appears. THANK YOU for this video.

      Thank you for the comment. I’m glad it helps! Sometimes I’ll even go back to my old videos as a reminder of how I did things. (Like my Maschine+ video 😂)

    • @ToddUrban
      @ToddUrban  3 місяці тому

      Thank you. I’d love to do an OBX8 series, but it is a matter of time as I really dive as deep as possible before creating any content. I will probably do something soon on it that goes into some unique aspects of that synth.

    The Prophet sounds great obviously but let's talk about your chord work. That's what makes these quick demos sound so nice. What chord patterns are you combining?

    • @ToddUrban
      @ToddUrban  11 місяців тому +2

      Oh! Thanks! Actually, I’m typically just stacking major and minor chords and keeping progressions really basic so that the focus is more on the sound of the instrument, rather than the progression. Sometimes I feel like it is too plain and vanilla, but I guess it’s working? Lol

  • @SomebodyPickaName

    Your whole keyboard is an octave higher than mine (my transpose is at 0) but I was able to follow along pretty well. Thanks a bunch for making this series!

    • @ToddUrban
      @ToddUrban  Рік тому

      This would be based on where I set my oscillators, rather than transposing the keyboard. But yes, basically a similar effect in terms of where the pitch center would be located. Thank you for watching! :)

    • @ToddUrban
      @ToddUrban  11 місяців тому

      Do you have a vintage one? I believe the point at which the PW shape thins out to zero is at the opposite end. I would need to double check.

    Hello I realize this a ridiculous situation but I have suddenly become the owner of a neve 5060 centerpiece ,neve 1073 OBX pre amp, and an apogee symphony IO mk 2 and I have no idea how to set it all up and integrate with my DAW(logic) . And since most people with all this professional equipment actually know what they are doing I can’t find any clues online as to how I can get it up and running do you have any advice

    • @ToddUrban
      @ToddUrban  Рік тому +1
