My band, Roxaboxen, just posted a new video for our song "Ignite". A local vocalist, Janxx, collaborated with us on this version and we are super pumped about the result.
Check it out please!:

DSI stuff appears quite often throughout (and a Roland):
Tempest: main drum loop through the first 13 secs switching in and out the internal Distort circuit (producer added some grainy reverb). Mixed in pretty low at 0:45 and 2:41 in the bridge too and other places. We have a live drummer who plays a Roland drum brain. The main "human" drums were recorded with MIDI and sound replaced later (cymbal overheads and a kick mic were acoustic). Main groovy hi-hat is a sample loop (not tempest).
Evolver: The original chord progression was written on an Evolver. On the final version, the Evolver's part is primarily chopped up using a rhythmic stutter edit tool. You'll hear this throughout. I think it may be mixed in really low for the pad too, but I'm not sure.
JD-XA: The JD-XA took over the main pad duties. The patch I made had several layers and wound up with too much bass. It's significantly high passed in this mix. The supersaw stuff wound up better on the Roland than the original patch on the Pro-2. Part is mainly analog with digital supersaws sent through the analog Roland filter.
Pro-2: Badass Pro-2 sequence for the bridge (if I may say?). Starts at 2:30. Comes back at 3:53. The slew rate dials played a key part on the feel of this. Something I've not been able to replicate on any other sequencer/synth.
