DX7 Painting & Magic Patches Cart
A new painting of a Yamaha DX7 FM synthesizer in an abandoned backyard and also a whole bank of Legowelt programmed DX7 patches (“the Legowelt magic DX7 cart”) to load into your DX7 or compatible synth/vst 🙂 Lots of dreamy and archaic dark ambient pads. Download here (4kb .SYX file on wetransfer )
If you don’t have a DX7 but have a DAW you can use the wonderful free open source DEXED DX7 vst that emulates (and edits) a real DX7 quite comfortably. Get DEXED here
There are many other DX7 FM vsts and modern FM hardware synths that are
compatible with these patches, check if it can read original DX7 sysex and you will be able to use these.
A few sound demos /tracks made with these sounds some multitracked some with some extra FX reverb and delay

Hidden in the monumental Soda Factory (Sodafabriek) in Schiedam, a tiny listening space is waiting to be discovered. Measuring less than 30 square meters, KODA is the perfect place for super intimate listening experiences. This is the place where DJ’s showcase the depths of their vinyl collections, musicians present their new releases to fans and music lovers meet and share their love for music. The room is fitted with a vintage Klipsch soundsystem to provide a great listening experience.

合成迷恋十周年宇宙级重磅巨献：来自荷兰海牙的电子音乐传奇人物、合成器殿堂级巫师、Electro/Techno狂人Legowelt。来到中国演出Live set的同时他的新专辑《Like a Song From Your Dream》 4/30在L.I.E.S. Records发表。
为什么是”宇宙级”? 当代电子音乐界有很多杰出的艺术家，然而，在遥远的另一个星系，有一个名叫Legowelt的人类创造了自己与其他人隔绝的世界（他本人确实是不明飞行物学家），质量之高、产能之大、效率之快，仿佛来自一天48小时的星球！如果上Discogs搜索，会发现他竟然有长达100多页的作品清单！然而他作品数量远远不止于此，Legowelt还有无数个分身，难道他真身是三头六臂的大神?! 用了40 多个不同的艺名在众多著名厂牌发行项目，包括 Clone, L.I.E.S., Dekmantel, Bunker, Creme Organization, Ghostly International, Peoples Potential Unlimited, Ninja Tune, Cocoon, 和Rush Hour等等，他也成立自己的唱片公司 Strange Life Records (2004-2010)，和Nightwind Records (2014 至今)，简直是电子音乐创作天花板！
没有人能像 Legowelt 那样。他庞大的音乐作品跨越了许多不同的世界——有些是真实的，有些是想象的——并以一种独特而迷人的方式让听众着迷。自 90 年代初作为荷兰西海岸场景和Intergalactic FM 家族的重要组成首次演出以来，他已成为该团队的核心成员，他从底特律和芝加哥的先锋以及奇幻电影和科幻文化中汲取灵感，如今他已成为现代Techno的标杆人物。 他始终对陈年破旧的噪音制造机器着迷，他令人眼花缭乱的输出是由模拟质感和经典价值以及不断漫游的声音研究感知定义的，通过酸性老派从 techno 转向怪诞的 house 深度。作为一位具有罕见幽默感的制作人，Legowelt 的作品丰厚而快速，但始终保持高水平的质量保证。他们以无数 EP 的形式登陆 Clone、L.I.E.S.、Peoples Potential Unlimited 和 Crème Organization 等唱片公司，同时也以《The Paranormal Soul》和《Crystal Cult 2080》等全长唱片广受好评。
