Music

Technical remarks: I play recently mostly Sylphyo by Aodyo, and also AkaiPro-EWI instruments (4000s, 5000 and EWI-USB), with some analog voices from Patchman, Yamaha VL70m synthesizer with Patchman Turbo voices, Ketron SD2 and SD1000 modules and various software virtual instruments on EWI-USB. In 2022 I have added DynaSample XpressO-mini synth.

All 3 banks for Ketron SD2, 4 banks for Ketron SD1000 and 2 banks for Yamaha VL70m Turbo, in the .mlb format (ex. for Anvil Studio), needed to use these modules with EWI.
MIDI-OX can control Ketron and other synth, select favorities and assign parameters to different MIDI channels. After trying large DAW programs I gave up - too complicated and not doing what I need. For Ketron SD1000 with MIDI-OX use this instrument definition.

Sample of Ketron SD2 sounds of all Bank A instruments (large). I plan also record more sample from other banks and from the DynaSample XO-mini synth.

For me this was a scientific experiment, a part of my investigation in what I call "auditory blindsight" or auditory imagery agnosia (see talks 65, 69, 90, 97 and 101 here, and my paper on imagery agnosia).

A few samples of my brain's creation (highly flawed, no corrections, taken as it comes) are below.
Comments are welcomed on my blog.

First, videos:

• EWI Sylpho with Swam English Horn, Omnisphere Adagio Expressivo (YouTube)
• EWI Sylpho with Omnisphere Luftrum Vangelis voices (YouTube)
• Morning improvisation on Sylpho + Ketron SD 1000 Latin Flute voice.

• Deleted: My concert in the Toruń City Hall, 13.06.2013 (Bach, Debussy, Beatles, a bit of jazz and improvisations). Integrated guitar amplifier with speaker was not suited for EWI but I could not get better sound system in this hall.
