Sequencing the Oberheim SEM with the Metal Fetishist

We reviewed the Body Synths Metal Fetishist just before Christmas - and here we have an example of using it to sequence external gear, or, more precisely an Oberheim SEM. The beauty of the Metal Fetishist sequencer is that it'll store up to 32 steps of modulation and note gates (with rests) until it is reset - making it a highly capable sequencer of external synths. Here's what Body Synths have to say: 

I had the opportunity to borrow an original Tom Oberheim SEM reissue from a friend and this video is a selection of some sounds I came up with. The 2 Metal Fetishists are in sync and being used as sequencers for the SEM's pitch and gate CV inputs. Aside from that I tried to keep the patching to a minimum. What can I say about the SEM? it is very fun to play and it sounds absolutely amazing. I loved playing with the filter resonance to get classic Oberheim textures. As for the Metal Fetishist, sometimes I like using it as "just" a sequencer for my monophonic synths, so I thought this was a good opportunity to showcase how I do it. Feel free to ask questions in the comments. I hope you liked this one!

Here is the review from late last year:
