boards of canada - blood in the labyrinth (cover)

video upload by fischek

"this was a really fun and intricate puzzle (labyrinth? :)) of a cover — as it often seems to be with boards of canada.

'blood in the labyrinth' is a beautiful track, probably my favourite on inferno, with those haunting vocal samples that feel like they were somehow made for it.

i tried to stay close to the atmosphere of the original, while finding my way through it — the textures, the timing, the small details...

had a lot of fun making this one (and took me quite a while to make it).

p.s. will prob work on naraka next :)

ellitone tap-ki - a percussive note midi controller

video upload by ellitone instruments

"now available at ellitone.com

The ellitone tap-ki is a ‘percussive note’ midi-controller that features 12 highly-sensitive “tap touch” wooden bars. Formally known as the KeyControl 2, the ellitone tap-ki found its true name and brings back all of the same functionality in a solid oak hardwood body.

tap-ki features 16 selectable musical scales from around the world. Inspired by hand-pan drums, these 16 musical scales each offer a different mood for your playing and exploration. The best thing about these selected musical scales is that it is impossible to hit a “wrong note”, No musical theory or piano playing ability is required to successfully enjoy this device. As seen in the demo video, the tap-ki can be played like a piano using single finger taps, or like a drum using both hands to trigger groups of multiple notes at once. The excellent velocity-tracking system allows the tap-ki to be played like a digital hand drum that responds to the smallest change in play pressure.

Buchla Tiptop Audio 259t is it the best complex Vco?

video upload by VoxModula Archives

"Is the Buchla Tiptop Audio 259t the best complex Vco? I love it so much. I had the Endorphines Furthrrrr Generator before this one and I sold it to get the 259t, well of course I wanted to complete my system but I also think it has more of a vintage tone, it's definitely less modern to my ears, I don't really know how to explain. What do you think of it?"

Synapse Audio Dune 3: 50 Vintage Arp Presets. Sound Demo/Jam

video upload by Anton Anru

📻 “Nostalgic Flow” is a bank of 50 arpeggio presets for Synapse Audio Dune 3.
In this bank, I wanted to explore the plugin's broad sonic capabilities, including various filter modes, filter FX, different oscillator types, and effects. I extensively modulated the parameters of these modules using tempo-synced LFOs and MSEGs to create dynamic sound.
I also carefully worked with arpeggio parameters to add complexity—some presets even sound like sequences or chords.

📦 The download link: https://antonanru.sellfy.store/p/dune...

💾 The bank covers a wide range of timbres: warm, deep, dreamy, soft, noisy, bright, dark, distorted, cold, metallic. They will fit many genres, styles, arrangements, and mixes.

🎛 All presets respond to Velocity, affecting volume and brightness, allowing for accents in the pattern.
ModWheel adds expression to the sound through filter opening, detuning, vibrato, or additional movement.

💎 The soundset is universal, the arpeggios are suitable for all genres of electronic music, including Techno, House, Trance, Lounge, Downtempo, Funk, Disco, Pop, Acid, Hardcore, IDM, Drum'n'Bass, Breaks, Breakbeat, Trap, Electro, Ambient, Dubstep, EDM, Synth-Pop and others.

💡 Ensure that you are using the latest software version.
To add presets to the collection, open the plugin Browser, click Menu in the upper left corner, then select Import Folder, and specify the folder on your computer.
