Welcome to this landing page. Music production with Vintage Vermona Equipment. Soundtrack with the virtual version of the soviet ANS synthesizer with the typical soviet scifi sound. Unique sample packs with percussion sound made of old cans and canisters. Sampling a condom and made a techno track.
Can a 1990s “toy” keyboard hold its own against professional studio workstations? Our track “When We Go Wilder” is the definitive proof. At first listen, the track’s thick, brooding atmosphere and razor-sharp leads suggest a studio filled with vintage Moogs or high-end Sequential synths.
The reality: Every single sound originated from a Yamaha PSS-390.
The “Darkwave” Alchemy
To transform a simple beginner’s keyboard into a professional Darkwave/Synthpop powerhouse, we didn’t use MIDI or modern plugins. We used the physical signal chain and the human touch.
- The Source: The raw, gritty 2-operator FM synthesis of the Yamaha PSS-390.
- The Analog Treatment: The signal was routed through a curated selection of vintage “Iron Curtain” and boutique hardware:
- Vermona PDD 501: Creating those cold, digital rhythmic delays.
- Vermona Phaser 80: Adding the sweeping, organic movement essential for the genre.
- Monacor Reverberation: Providing the dark, metallic space that defines the track’s mood.
Performance Without a Safety Net
In a world of “perfect” MIDI quantizing, “When We Go Wilder” stands out through its unfiltered performance:
- 100% Manual: Every instrument part was played by hand directly into the audio track.
- No MIDI: By bypassing MIDI data, we captured the subtle timing nuances and the raw “vibe” that software-driven productions often lack.
- Commitment: This “Old School” approach forces decisions. Once the signal is recorded with the Vermona effects baked in, it defines the character of the song.
The B2B Takeaway: It’s the Ear, Not the Gear
This track serves as a testament to our production style. Whether we are creating a dark synthpop anthem or bespoke sound assets for a game, we focus on character and sonic depth.
We know how to push “simple” hardware to its absolute limits, creating a premium sound that stands out in a crowded market. If we can make a beginner’s keyboard sound like a dark masterpiece, imagine what we can do for your project.
