The Amazing "TRAVELER" - OUT SEPTEMBER 1ST - FROM KEYSOLUTIONS SOUNDS #vst #keysolutionssounds


video upload by Scott McAuley Sounds and KeySolutions Sounds

"I am very excited to announce that after 20 years, ‪@KeySolutionsSounds‬ is back! TRAVELER is an incredible Virtual Instrument with a multitude of modulation options and extremely straight forward to navigate. and it sounds absolutely huge!!

It has been an absolute pleasure creating 60 of the factory sounds for this amazing VST, It is lush, fat, versatile and very unique! this one really is not to be missed!

Out September 1st available from - https://www.keysolutionssounds.com/"

A new kind of audio FX - Sparkling Riser


video upload by SynTesla

"The Sparkling riser is a brand new kind of audio FX

This effect is achieved by stacking 12 lines of 'micro-delays' lasting a few milliseconds (6 lines per audio channel) The delayed sound is mixed back into the original sound, creating a comb filter.

Each delay line has a feedback loop, and the delay time is modulated by several LFOs. In addition to the LFOs, we have 12 VCAs (1 per delay line) whose levels are synchronized to the phases of each LFO.

But when the effect is on the "infinite rise" mode, as soon as we apply randomization to the LFO phases, something very strange happens:
'phantom notes' appear. We could compare this effect to concentric waves colliding to create a splash—a “spark” that, in our example, generates notes based on the frequencies and harmonic content of the sound. This 'spark' gives the effect its name: 'Sparkling Riser.'

This effect is directly inspired by a project we're working on with electronics genius Yves Usson."

pentagrams of discordia - brain controlling (cover)


video upload by fischek

"'Brain Controlling' is a true gem from Pentagrams of Discordia’s The Hippopotomonstrosesquippedaliophobia EP. Here’s my take on it.

It’s a deceptively simple track—and an absolute earworm.

Looking forward to hearing what Pentagrams of Discordia have in store for August 28!

💻 VSTs: Vital

Melodic ARP2500 with SciFi video - by Benge


video upload by Memetune Studio

"Another track from the new Benge album

This track is made on a vintage ARP 2500 modular system from 1970. A series of looper modules made by 2hp were used to construct the music in real time

The ARP 2500 was known as the concert grand of synths. This is because it is so magnificent in every way possible

You can watch the original performance here:
• Summersend - ARP2500 [posted here]

This video pays homage to one of my favourite science fiction illustrators Syd Mead, who was responsible for many amazing designs, including some of the world building in Blade Runner and Tron. I have tried to bring them to life by putting them through the Memetune VideoLab...enjoy!"

nonlinearcircuits Dichotomy Paradox 1


video upload by cirtcele

"Updated version of Divine CMOS. Wonderful module for harmonically rich sounds or use as a complex CV patter and gate generator. Thought the LEDs were superbright purple but turned out to be a mild light blue."


via nonlinearcircuits

"This module has been thru a few cycles. The original idea for the design is from an article in Electronotes EN#98 by Lester Ludwig, spectacularly titled ‘A Square-wave Frequency-division Sub-octave Cross-product Module, it’s relationship with Lie algebra, and other related processes’ or more simply known as The Cross Product Module.

The frequencies of two VCO signals are separately divided by /2, /4, /8 & /16 ratios. The corresponding divisions are ANDed together and the results, along with all the raw divided frequencies are mixed together in various ways. You end up with a very harmonically thick, animated sound.

I did a full bloat CMOS (Ludwig’s design was TTL) version for a 4U panel back in 2008 or so, but changed the AND gates to XOR gates for a more ring-modulated effect. Then a minimal, slimmed down eurorack version, called Divine CMOS. This just used the XOR’d signal and outputted a signal determined by the pots.

After some requests for an expanded version, I re-visited the design.

7555VCO 1

"Wide ranging sawtooth VCO with the hardest hard sync around."



via nonlinearcircuits

"Not the most exciting name, I simply wanted a 4HP sawtooth VCO to sit next to the Spectrum Shaper.

It is based on the Utility VCO in Electronotes EN67, which was based on designs by R. Tenny (Electronic Design 11/10/75), J.L. Brice (Wireless World (6/76) and others.

It tracks very nicely, turn the CV pot to max for 1V/oct, ranges from approx 10Hz to over 100kHz and supplies 10Vp-p sawtooth and square waves.

The Sync is the hardest of hard syncs around. I left out the capacitor usually used to turn sync signals into a pulse, so if you feed a gate or slow CV signal into Sync the VCO simply stops, think of it is a bonus VCA. Of course, if you use an audio rate sync signal, it works as normal.

It is a pretty easy build. not many parts. Do not mix up the BCM847 and BCM857 dual transistors, see the build notes for where to install a 1k tempco."

Roland TR-505 drum machine tutorial, review, sound demos & sample pack - why do people hate it?


video upload by ako

"Roland TR-505 drum machine review tutorial and sound demos. This drum machine gets some hate from TR purists (often referred to as 'a good doorstop') but honestly I think this is a really solid little drum machine with that classic Roland TR / Boss DR sound and a really nice to use srquencer. It has also been used by a plethora of great artists including: Aphex Twin, Vince Clarke, Tame Impala, Thom Yorke, Derrick May, Blood Orange, and Venetian Snares and probably many others! See chapters below if you want to skip straight to the tutorial or sound demos.

Hope you folks enjoy the video :)
