Impressionist Drum Scape

This is another level in the long since pushed aside quadrum series. Finally I've had a chance to get back to it and expand on it.

This particular piece incorporates a delay section with time settings from as tight as possible to roughly 1.5 seconds with what is on the verge of infinite capture sample style that can be added to.

There are 6 "keys" on this piece, drum pads, drum triggers, whatever you weant to call them. Each has a decay. Controls for pitch. big bass, electro phaser sounds, snare/white noise.

There are trigger jacks for each of the keys - to synch or use with pedals.

As much as I personally enjoy using it as a drum synth, I also particularly enjoy utilizing it's drone nature. Very film score...Can be incredibly grimy and painful or sweet and melodic.

I could go on for a long long time with these sounds and I likely will but for now = here are some samples (please set the drab artistic approach aside):

SCAPER

In this recording I sampled (Korg ESX) all sounds from the impressionist Drum Scape, uneffected and arranged them into a track. The sounds remain uneffected, only sequenced. This synth is especially big on the bass and very capable of producing lush pads.

SCAPIST

Here is another track utilizing many of the same sounds as the previous track with the addition of some others, again, all uneffected external from the impressionist. These recordings are meant to give an example of the synths quality of tone and potential. Most of the sounds were randomly recorded, there is much more I could've captured.

DRONE

This is a simple (but long) recording of a drone produced by the impressionist. Very thick, perhaps longer than it should be and yet, unfortunately, not capturing the potential of the piece. oh well. It stands as a good exaple of the richness of the synth.
