A short little ambient tune inspired by our fellow posters. Sounds from S6 with a bit of reverb. In this piece I was particularly focused on resonance.

This sounds beautiful, but you should build this up into something longer !

Thanks, hehe! My ability to complete tracks seems to diminsh as I age… seriously I fiddle around too much on my S6.

I find that working in iterations with someone else usually helps completing tracks.

Hello Trond,

Love these beautiful sounds.  
Where can i be in touch with you?

Epic! are these factory patches? The glittering high frequencies are stunning.

Cheers for your encouragement 🙂 I´ve never really used the standard patches as I enjoy creating patches.

As I´ve learned the Super 6 I´ve found the following worked well:

- Volume gain on Super 6 with VCA level as high as possible. Standard patches as a result can sound muted in comparison since I gained my audio interface to my prefered volume. Usually combined with Drive mode I.
- Velocity modulation of filter cutoff (and more). Especially with an external keyboard with semi/weighted keys. Super 6 keys I find too light. Combined with resonance you can get some nice timbres by varying key pressure.

You should make a soundbank of patches and put them up for sale. I would happily buy them as I already grabbed your free ones and they are great.

A short sunday track using the Super 6 sequencer. I’m quite happy with the pluck sound which uses dds-1 in super mode - nice and snappy. If it hadn’t been such a lazy afternoon the song might have been a tad longer too 🙂

Running the full gamut in bamboo, bottles, metal cans, to handpan. Performance tweaking the controls while sequence was running. Controls in use: pwm, cross mod, freq, env1-a/s/r, env2-r, portamento

It’s criminal you’ve not made a soundset for purchase yet.

I’m personally not that focused on preset patches. It’s more fun to tinker and experiment then stumble upon something interesting. But since there were a few request I plan on adding a bank on patchstorage. I’ll bump my other thread when it is updated.

Here’s one organ instrument I’m particularly pleased with. The resonance adds a lot of character and beatings. The second Glockenspiel instrument is the same organ with controls slightly adjusted.

The sequencer is a good friend if you want to explore the S6 sound space. If you’re lazy you can even fake a whole songs with a simple repeating pattern 🙂 In the song below I have a polyphonic sequence playing. Most of the movement comes from slowly adjusting the VCF controls while the pattern plays. It also occured to me I had rediscovered some Tangerine Dream music.

Stunning. This really is the best sounding synth out there, it’s insanely classy.

While trying to create a nice pad on the Gemini it went off track into some dystopian scifi drone. Layer 1 is a sequencer beat. Layer 2 is several notes held while gently moving controls.

I’m really getting into drone composition on the Super 6; it’s such a versatile instrument. I’ve only had the synth for a few weeks and have yet to get deep into the modulation matrix and sequencer for making more programmatic changes to the drone through the piece; just doing everything manually for the moment (though that’s quite satisfying in itself).

I find the fixed modulations is versatile enough in most cases. Its nice though to have the option setting up additional ones when you find a use for it. Listening to your music you’ve already begun to coax out those experimental sounds from the synth. And drones are a great way to let those sounds play out. I usually prefer to have a melodic structure ― usually with a sequencer to free up my hands for controls. After three years I still stumble upon unique sounds I havn’t heard before. As long as you’re enjoying the synth it will probably keep you interested quite a while longer.

Thanks @trond.olsen, I’m also noting what you did with the post on the Gemini above using the layers separately for drone and melodic elements. I’m actually considering adding another Super 6 to have more oscillators at hand for either sequencing or additional timbres for the drone. I think one of the issues with ‘sequencing’ a drone is that it would need to be very very slow (like I want this chord to change gradually over a period of minutes, hold for another few minutes and then slightly change). Almost easier to do it manually. But, as you say, there is a lot to explore here regardless.
