Jesse Sola is an American keyboardist who goes under the project name Numina<\/em>. He was born in 1971 in a musical family that currently resides in Denver, Colorado. Jesse began recording music in his 20’s while in college. Jesse’s choice of instrumentation was the use of synthesizers and acoustic instruments melded together to create deep, evolving music that ranges from melancholy to mysterious. Currently, Numina has released albums on his own Numinamusic label as well as on Gestalt Records, Hypnos, Dark Duck Records. He’s also\u00a0been featured several times on the syndicated radio program Music From the Hearts of Space<\/em>. Similar artists and influences include Steve Roach, Robert Rich, Vidna Obmana, and Stephen Philips.<\/span><\/p>\n We chatted\u00a0with Jesse\u00a0about how he’s using the\u00a0Pro 2.<\/p>\n Jesse, what made you choose the Pro 2?<\/span><\/p>\n “As a sound designer and ambient musician, I chose the Pro 2 for its\u00a0boundless sonic possibilities. Its deep modulation matrix and amazing\u00a0oscillator section make it a sound designer\u2019s dream synthesizer for\u00a0creating intricate sounds and sequences.”<\/p>\n How are you using it?<\/span><\/p>\n “I\u2019m currently using the Pro 2 primarily for deep textural drones,\u00a0evolving soundscapes with the wavetables, and complex sequencer patterns.”<\/p>\n What\u2019s one of your favorite things about it?<\/span><\/p>\n “Apart from the limitless sonic possibilities made possible by the\u00a0extensive modulation matrix, the panel is intuitive and laid out perfectly\u00a0for sculpting and manipulating any sound I can imagine.”<\/p>\n What does it give you that other synths might not?<\/span><\/p>\n “Its four complex oscillators combined with extensive modulation options\u00a0and several real-time controls provide me with the tools to create unique sounds\u00a0that I just can\u2019t get out of my other gear. It is also an excellent\u00a0controller for external synthesizers and my modular synth rig.”<\/p>\n Any interesting Pro 2 tricks or techniques you\u2019d like to share?<\/span><\/p>\n “I like using the paraphonic mode, setting a different detuned wavetable\u00a0for each oscillator, and modulating the filters while sweeping through the\u00a0wavetable shapes with different modulations. Playing chords with the note\u00a0hold on or using the sequencer results in gorgeous evolving drones and\u00a0soundscapes.”<\/span><\/p>\n Check out Jesse’s\u00a0website\u00a0here<\/span><\/a>.<\/em><\/p>\n Check out some of Jesse’s music\u00a0here<\/span><\/a>.<\/em><\/p>\n For more information, check out the Pro 2\u00a0product page\u00a0here<\/a><\/span>.<\/p>\n
