Sunday Synth Jam: The Vangelis score for Blade Runner is one of the most common for synthesists to cover.
While most covers tend to focus on recreating the synth orchestration of the Main Titles or the driving sequences of the End Titles, synthesist Ramiro Gómez Massetti goes in a different direction, with a virtual instrument take on the jazz-tinged Love Theme.
Massetti arranges the Theme as duet for piano and saxophone, performing both parts with virtual instruments. For the saxophone, he uses a TEControl BBC2 breath controller, paired with Samplemodeling Mr. Sax T.
Stop breadboarding and soldering – start making immediately! Adafruit’s Circuit Playground is jam-packed with LEDs, sensors, buttons, alligator clip pads and more. Build projects with Circuit Playground in a few minutes with the drag-and-drop MakeCode programming site, learn computer science using the CS Discoveries class on code.org, jump into CircuitPython to learn Python and hardware together, TinyGO, or even use the Arduino IDE. Circuit Playground Express is the newest and best Circuit Playground board, with support for CircuitPython, MakeCode, and Arduino. It has a powerful processor, 10 NeoPixels, mini speaker, InfraRed receive and transmit, two buttons, a switch, 14 alligator clip pads, and lots of sensors: capacitive touch, IR proximity, temperature, light, motion and sound. A whole wide world of electronics and coding is waiting for you, and it fits in the palm of your hand.
