I bought the Oberheim Xpander, after a few hours I did this recording. This is my first analog/hardware synth, I have only been using software synths before...
it sounds very close to Mario Schönwälder. I am just improvising, did record 4 tracks one by one.
The bass, should have been recorded through a sequencer, to get that berlin school sequencer sound...
I will try to do it next time..I am also considering to buy a hardware sequencer.
All feedback is very appreciated thanks!

Thank you a lot!
I will try to record more when I have received my midi cables... I have also bought the explorer editor.
If you ask me, The xpander is almost unusuable if you want to tweak it in real time...but the xplorer editior really opens upp a new universe for this synth!!!

nice track! 
somehow this reminds me of rain falling on a roof as a ninja looks contemplatively out at the city.

Is that the highpass filter on the pad? I'm borrowing an Xpander at the moment, and seems like most of the brighter sounds I get are 'cleaner' sounding than this. A pleasant multi-track improvisation, btw.

I wouldnt have thought that myself but reading it from you made it a clear picture in my head with this track.
Really nice little improv too. Awesome sounds.

Hello, I do not remember exactely, but what I remember is that I did use the presets I might have tweaked slightly such as cut off on the filter and resonance.
Regarding "cleaner" sounds, well I do not know, but I can tell you that I use a quite extensive effect chain also to produce this sound, and a lot of reverb which make it sound less "clear" I guess.

Been watching too many ninja movies ?
If you ask me ninjas are probably the last thing that I had in my mind.

it's probably the percussive sound - something similar is used in a lot of scores for an "eastern" sound.
I like the fizziness of the pads, what's being used in the "extensive effects chain", if you don't mind me asking?
