Imaginando Responds (DRC)
I just wanted to share the email I got from Imaginando after I sent them my DRC album. It was very gratifying to hear back from them. I invited them to be a voice on ABF, do, maybe, we’ll hear from another great dev...
Hi Michael,
Wow! A whole album based on DRC!
Thank you very much for sharing both your album and your kind words about DRC synth. It is really inspirational to hear that you find DRC so useful, and I can't wait to share your fantastic album, the ultimate love letter to DRC, with the team.
Is it ok for us to share the album link on our social media channels? We love to highlight creative projects from our community, and your album is a great showcase for DRC and the iOS music production scene too!
Regards, Clive

The album I sent...
I loved working with DRC. A unique sound very applicable to quasiclassical stuff. The Constellations Toolkit is its best inapp, IMO, but they’re all good and inexpensive. Would love to see some user banks, but I guess it does not accept such.
DRC is excellent for ambient and ARP driven tracks, as well. It has a mellower sound, IMO, than other popular synths. Of the four I have explored so far, MOOG, KASPAR, Sunrizer and DRC. I 3would choose KASPAR, DRC, Sunrizer and MOOG in that order for all round usefulness.
Of course, I only use presets with an occasional ADSR, reverb or EQ tweak, so I cannot judge the hands on synthesis capabilities. But the presets do give a pretty good sampling of the sonic range,
Now I’m onto Lagrange, and with @Spidericemidas’ presets, having another rewarding experience with a unique synth engine. What has been unusual with all these is that the sounds are inspiring the content. I just let the preset find it’s own way. Very different from laying down a piano or ep track and substituting different patches till I get some that work,
I hope you will make DRC a must have in your synth portfolio. The folks at Imaginando, out of Portugal, have made a superb product with its own characteristic sound.

It is a synth with some real character. I love that there are so many unique digital instruments for us to choose from these days.
You certainly know how to bang out the albums!! I'm most impressed! If I recall correctly you are a keyboard player but wondering how you arrange your compositions? I especially liked the opening track Kuma.
@soundtemple, thanks for listening. I’m fortunate to have training in improvising from over forty yrs ago. It’s the reason I produce so much.
I always set my projects op the same. Three tracks. Trk1 is both hands or full keyboard. Trk2 is just the bass part (which I often alter to make more of a single note affair. Trk 3 is the treble part. Like so...
Frequently I add a separate lead line, drum track, or both. Then I choose a handful of instruments, from 2-8, generally. I mangle all the tracks, transposing,duplicating, slicing and dicing, midi editing, adding effects, etc. Then it’s just a matter of mixing the instruments in and out. There’s always a lot of happenstance, serendipities and lucky coincidences which almost always makes the finished product pretty unexpected and unplanned.
At the heart is always the improvised stretch of 2 1/2 to approx 6 minutes. Sometimes a click track, sometimes not, I hope that is a decent explanation. I almost always work this way.
Most decent. Thankyou. Seems to be working well!
@soundtemple, indeed... as noted by Imaginando, above.
Just got round to listening to this one…very different from the relaxing jazz of the last album. Amadioha is bonkers in an over the top ELP 70’s sort of way. Favourites were Mozart’s Squeeze Box and Ursa Major. You even wheeled out the drums for some of the tracks. Very distinctive sounding app used in your normal very creative way.
@LinearLineman Thanks for the great explanation. It’s nice to see how other people put things together. Being able to play an instrument is always super helpful, as you can always create something to screw with and mangle.
I usually just improvise on the guitar until I hear something I like, then record that bit as a loop. But you’ve inspired me to record the whole thing.
Anyway, off to buy DRC now. Thanks a lot.
@mistercharlie, that is a super idea to record your entire improvisation. Record as long a stretch as you can so that the good stuff arises. Glad you’re getting DRC. 👍😎🙏
