It looks simple but it’s quite deep in terms of modulation and routing options. It’s such a versatile analog synth with a unique quad filter system built in (with switchable analog filters including a convincing 303 filter and a great ARP filter). Sorry there is no one special “landsky” device that defines my sound but there’s one synth that gets used in almost every production I do and that’s the Studio Electronics ATC-Xi. So aux busses and patchbays are mandatory for my way of working. Huh, is there such a Landsky sound? :) I’d say it’s definitely a combination of things, but the core is always the mix on the analog desk and lots of different delays and effects on sends that get automated throughout the whole track in a live manner. What piece of studio equipment or production process defines the Martin Landsky sound? It’s always good to have plans but even better to get rid off these sometimes. Quite often though I end up with something completely different, where the initial part is even not covered anymore. I usually try to work on this single element for a while to get a feel for it and to build images in my mind where to take this element to, then the rest is built around that. After each production I zero the whole studio and start with a blank paper.įor inspirations I start to build ideas around, this could be a loop, a sound, a beat I programmed, a field recording, a vocal, you name it. I don’t use any templates or pre-patched routings. Oh there’s no such routine, everything always starts from scratch and always based on an idea, which could be literally anything. How do you typically begin constructing a track? Give us some insight into your production process. All in all The Dx100 and A/DA make a very good couple especially in the bass department. For me the Analog Flanger has such a wide range of modulation that gets really crazy. I’ve never heard another FM synth with such a tone, try it and you’ll know what I am talking about.Įffects wise the A/DA Flanger is unmatched. It was sold as a home keyboard for kids actually and the output stages in there are bloody wack, but in a sweeet way. Don’t be fooled of its small size and very very plastic housing. My favourite synth is maybe the DX100, the absolutely best FM synthesizer ever made in my opinion. Hmm, hard to tell, there are so many things I really love.
