ELEMENT Essentials: ELEMENT One Sound Design Tips - Bass


video upload by Modal Electronics

"Wonder how to sculpt a bass sound that cuts through with ELEMENT One? In this tutorial, we dive into bass sound design on the ELEMENT One—crafting the foundation for your tracks that is recognisable and unique. Using the synth's intuitive front-panel controls and the MODALapp for visual assistance, you'll learn how to select the right oscillator algorithms for weight and bite, shape filters to dial in that perfect low-end growl, fine-tune envelope curves for snap and sustain, and apply effects like drive, compressor and EQ to add presence and character to your bass patches."

Curves & Membranes 1.3.5 | Node Morphing, Expanded Oscillator Presets & Detune


video upload by Unusable Engineering

"A walkthrough of the new features in Curves & Membranes 1.3.5.

The old Wave Bézier Presets have been expanded and renamed Oscillator Presets. The eight slots now store considerably more of the oscillator state, which makes the sequencer capable of much deeper changes and morphing.

The main additions are:
Bézier to Node morphing stored independently in every slot
None, Clip and Fold modes stored per slot and affected by Preset Slew
a new detuned auxiliary oscillator, with Detune stored per slot
LFO and noise modulation settings stored in the oscillator slots
interpolation of all of these settings through Preset Slew
Copy and Paste for oscillator slots
double-clicking nodes or handles to return them to the vertical center
improved CC4 / foot-controller handling

This means a single sequence can now move between Bézier and Node geometry, introduce or remove folding, change detune, and alter LFO modulation while the waveform itself is also changing.

There are some sound examples through-out the video, and some more focussed ones in the middle of the video, followed by the new workflow features and the updated CC4 / foot-control behavior.

A fair amount of oscillator-core optimization also went into making the additional processing possible while keeping CPU use under control.

HWJ - ONE SOUND - HYPERCHAOS - HWJ edit


video upload by FL3SHB4CK

"Hardware Jam Challenge: ONE SOUND
This is a short edit of a longer jam: (soon)

The only one sound source is the Bean Jelly, modulations by Hyperchaos (modulated by Bean Jelly PWM) and Splish, crazy stereo thanks to diff-rect (BJ low pass into positive input, BJ high pass into negative input, outputs into Beads) , grainzzz coutesy of Beads!

NLC Hyperchaos Deluxe, NLC Splish, Bean Jelly, MI Beads, NLC diff-rect

Make some noise!"

Followup on the Q210 from Synthesizers.com
