Opal | Novation Summit Ambient

- Опубліковано 15 лис 2019
- Another piece with the Novation Summit. This time using Squarp Hermod (in the background) to sequence one of the multi-patches, while I play/improvise under it.
I believe some of my Summit multi-patches are included amongst the factory patches on the synth (which I heard is shipping now), but they are also up on the components site.
Slowly getting my new studio up and running.
gorgeous and dusty. someone please get this man a film to score
A real Master of ambientmusic at work...with real masterpieces of instruments...
In the days that you doubt your self please listen to this. This piece of beauty that you have created. And know I'm here. I'm safe and I will conquer because of this.
I thoroughly appreciate and enjoy your music! Every new piece is like a new kind of magic!
Incredibly beautiful ! You bring so much of the best parts of each instrument everytime !
A truly beautiful piece on so many levels !
So delicately played, love the white noise and phases of warmth in and out!
One of the most beautiful ambient pieces I've ever heard. Lovely!
Simple, complex and beautiful.
So exquisitely heartwarming. Thank you for this.
Soft, subtle and beautiful
Sounds like a whole orchestra of synths, what a lovely tune. Really what i needed this morning
Totally beautiful as ever man ! The Summit is a mighty impressive synth too.
Will be adding a Summit to my mix in 2023. Absolutely love this sound you have produced. Just adds to the excitement of waiting.
Yet another sublime little piece!
Really enjoyed this piece. Perfect for an evening wind-down with some time to think and be introspective.
This hits the spot. Gorgeous improvisation!
Amazing, captivating music. Thank you for creating as you do.
Thank you so much for the patches on the Summit. I enjoy them a lot! Got the Summit yesterday and mostly playing Multipatch B29-B48 ;) sooooo good!
I really needed this tonight. Thank you

Beautiful man just beautiful 😭
This is really beautiful music!
i dont know how you keep doing it but you do
Always a pleasure.
So damn beautiful.
i love this so much
Pretty sweet vibes here... really subtle and soothing. That little bit of noise in there adds a nice edge to it all, things are not quite clear, a little more mysterious....
lovely !!!
Kudos, great work .
Great work, as always man! Inspired to buy this synth as well.
Beautiful!!
4am whisky and this.. thanks
its 4am here in 6 minutes.
for me... its a blunt and this. :)
pure gold!
Sounds great, lush patches.
Sounds great, man.
Lovely... 🌌
beautiful mate
Wow. What talent.
Dear r beny, I confirm Novation Summit does include many multi-patches of yours amongst the factory patches on the synth (also... beautiful piece, love it)
Love this!
Lovely.
Great stuff!
This is sweat. Nice work. Thanks for sharing this.
I meant, Sweet, not sweat, btw. Just wanted to clarify that.
Damn dude. That was a spiritual experience.
that last chord had my psyched for a new movement to come in
I considered going longer, but this was the first take I was enjoying and that felt somewhat complete, so I ended it. will definitely explore that ending sound in the future.
You are a great inspiration. I wish I had half of your talent. You could probably make great music with a spoon and a sweet potato.
nice dude. makes me want one. that a prophet 6, or a ob6. they all sounds great!!! keep it up!
The sort of demo that tells me I really need this synth, just have to convince my wallet. Beautiful demo of the Summit.
Bella storia 🍀
This is brain honey, ear honey, hard to describe how this affects me but it does.
Beautiful. Your patches sound amazing on the Summit. Can't put this thing down.
that's good to hear! glad the patches came out alright
a masterpeace. Believe me.
Oozing with delicious serine beauty.
🌸EPIC🌸
great thank you
Fucking beautiful man.
I think I'm in a dream, a good one.
Velvet dust of pleasure.
The G.O.A.T.
vibes
Very nice. (still have to wait 4 my Summit to arrive so your videos ease the pain...) :-)
Way to go man
This is one of the most beautiful pieces I’ve ever heard, thank you Austin. Is the delay coming from the Hermod or the Summit? Excited to hopefully hear more from you soon!
the delay is from the Summit. all the sounds are from Summit, with the Hermod only supplying a MIDI sequence
Missing your videos. Hope you are well!
thank you. been a bit of a year, but I will be continuing with videos soon-ish!
Bliss
Hay man, I just noticed your presets for the Novation Peak available in Compoonents for download. I tried them last night and they are amazing. Thanks so much for providing them.
oh rad, thanks for checking them out! glad you like them, it was my first time making presets for something and it was a real challenge!
I love u, beny
Post-Covid you should definitely be on tour with Sigur Ros!
I am not opposed this idea
calm
Holy shit this was awesome. Got an album or a spotify ?
rbeny.bandcamp.com (or search r beny on your streaming platform of choice)
that pad sounds like the sound i STRIVE to get from my saxophone - would love any pointers for recreating something like that from scratch :)
perhaps try running your sax through some kind of bit shifter? something that can add some noise/artifacts. would be cool to hear that!
r beny ahh thanks for the response but I meant recreating the patch hahaha
@@chapoteaukatz oh haha. my bad. well if you have a summit, the patch is up in the components app. if not, try applying a little bit of filtered noise to a filter cutoff. sounds different depending on the filter/synth, but that's the main gist of it :)
@@rbeny Thank you! I don't have one yet, was cruising to see what people were doing with theirs and this was my fave vid - smashed that subscribe button
I am going to be in the market for a polysynth in the next few months, I was looking at either a Prophet or a Prologue , but I must say this one has REALLY piqued my interest lately as it seems to have more interesting sound design capabilities. How are you finding it? Recomended?
I may be a little biased, I was using the peak for a few years before getting summit. I'm absolutely in love with peak/summit, even after a few years. they really excel at producing a variety of sounds. that was a big thing for me, getting away from classic analog synth sounds (though this can do that just fine) and doing floaty/ambient/organic types of sounds. the built-in effects are the best I've ever heard built into a synth. especially the reverb. the effects really are part of each patch, the analog distortion can warm/saturate things up quite nicely. beyond the great sound, it's just a joy to work with. it's quick. nearly everything important is on the panel, and the menus are fairly shallow. there's a sizable mod matrix, plenty of modulation with 4 LFOs and 3 envelopes.
I definitely recommend it, but of course I am biased :)
@@rbeny See- those reasons are exactly why I am drawn to it. Ease of access to most pertinent settings, and much more than just the "traditional analogue" sounds on tap (I have a modular synth if I want to go that route, or the BS2 or JP8080 for that matter). The effects being so good they can be part of the sound design is also a big bonus. The dual filter setup looks really interesting too. (The Prophet only having an LPF seems a bit of a weird limitation to me, to the extent of putting me off it).
I keep coming back to this beautiful piece. I've been trying to figure this out and I hope you can help -- if that green flashing light in the background is the tempo, then it looks like the notes played are quarter notes. Did you midi sync a delay to be 4 eighth-note triplets? And if so, which device allows you to do that? Or is it maybe each beat is a dotted quarter, and the delay is a half note? Thank you so much!
so the green flashing light is indeed the tempo of the Hermod sequence, but the way I recorded the MIDI sequence into Hermod doesn't really match the tempo. the step resolution of the Hermod is fairly high, so it basically acts the same as an audio looper would, except for MIDI. whatever I played into it isn't really tied to the tempo or a tempo, but rather just what I was feeling in the moment. that's to say that this piece is not synced at all.
in your scenario, it would be possible to sync the delay from the Summit to Hermod. Summit has a clocked delay setting
@@rbeny thank you so much for the detailed response - cool that it’s not synced! I guess you just have really great time :)
What are you sequencing it with? Nice job
a squarp hermod. it's out of focus in the modular system in the back. I actually recently got a small lil case just to house it so I could use it standalone with my other midi gear.
how do you created the layers? one Suarp Hermod for on sequence, but for the rest? just phrases on Summit?
correct. hermod is sequencing one layer and then I'm playing the second layer with the summitt keyboard. if it sounds like more layers than that, it is because I like to make my patches sound like they are multi-layered :)
Aghhh my local store said they won't be in til end of the year D:
I too wanted to buy an R-Beny...
thankfully that's not too far off. this year has flown by, crazy
Sir, tell me why this (and a few others, legendary novation peak ambient II among them) masterpieces have never been released? :(
my videos were usually recorded very quick and off the cuff, whereas I like to meticulously craft my album tracks. I also did not properly record the audio for a majority of my videos. I've thought about making properly recorded versions for some of my videos, but time keeps marching on and I can't seem to slow it down no matter what I do.
@@rbeny thank you. Anyway even in a such “not proper quality” its still absolutely enjoyable pieces with beautiful and never experienced before emotions
I need this patch. I'll buy it from you, no kidding. PLEASE
it is on the summit if you already have it. under the multi-patches
Is it in the ”r beny” multi pack?
Also, is it possible on the summit to save one of the two patches (A/B) of a multi patch into a single patch?
@@maximlamoureux4129 yup, should also be called 'opal' or something similar. that's a good question. I know you can save single patches to multi-patch slots, I made all of these initially as single patches. will attempt to do that and report back
@@rbeny just tried the opal patch. seems like the noisy, smoky bad is not there? A and B are slightly different but are both basically versions of the initial "droplets" of this video.

How dit you record this for UA-cam?
recorded video to dslr, audio to my laptop. combined them in premiere, did some light color editing, and then uploaded.
How can I contact you? I've been looking fir a email or account.
Hey r beny, do you still own the Summit? Have you got a chance to play with the Polybrute?
yes, still own the Summit. the new firmware is especially lovely, loving the new delay settings (expect a performance video soon). I had the chance to briefly play a friend's Polybrute. came away impressed and I love the mod matrix layout.
@@rbeny Thanks for the response. You were one of the inspirations to start recording ambient on my Peak (thanks for that). Here is my latest if you ever want to have a look (alternate channel). Looking forward to that Summit video. ua-cam.com/video/7auGG6Zn0GM/v-deo.html
there is a technique....is called the lobster hands scrunch pat on the shoulders. you deserve a pat on the back. chill.relax.free.flow.max.
