Roland GAIA SH-01 - Luftrum Soundbank

YouTube via Luftrum1 | September 19, 2010

"Audio demo of Luftrum 6 - Soundbank for Roland GAIA SH-01 containing 64 ambient patches ranging from warm space pads over Berlin School arpeggios and organic sound effects - suitable for ambient, cinematic and filmscore productions. 32 of the 64 patches are spine-tingling ambient pads, lifting the GAIA up to the next level of sound!

Luftrum 6 is drawn out of inspirations from Brian Eno, Tangerine Dream, Biosphere and Steve Roach and is a follow up to soundbank successors released for Propellerheads Reason and lately the standalone Luftrum:Ambient for Camel Audio's Alchemy - which cemented Luftrum's signature as an ambient tone painter.

Luftrum 6 is available as download-only from luftrum.com."

cv69 blues by Stomachlining

YouTube via stomachlining | September 19, 2010

"2 Synthi AKS linked together by Matrix Pin Jumpers. Each KS keyboard controls osc.1,2,3, filter and decay of its synth, KS on the right also conrols Ring Mod. Synthi A (on the right) osc1 gets a cv from both KS keyboards & cv from Synthi A (left) osc3's ramp wave. KS seq (right) is also sending a cv to Synthi A's osc2 (left). KS seq (left) is also sending cv to SynthiA's osc2 (right). There's a close-up of each matrix patch @ 8:24. The red pin jumpers are taking the cv ... & the orange pin jumpers are delivering it. Everything was recorded dry, directly into my Sony Handycam. Some synthi reverb creeps in briefly @ 5:05. The only overdub is a little joysticking @ 7:00-7:45"

I've just rearranged my music studio and am very pleased with the result. Inspired by this I've recorded a track using Moog Little Phatty through a looper pedal, Nord piano with a bit of Korg Radias synth, then a huge lead line from the Minimoog old school linked to another 3 oscillators from my Doepfer making 6."

This synth has a noise oscillator, and the LFO has sample and hold and sine wave settings. It has an external audio input so you can put other audio through the synths filter."

Freqing Out- by FSD (A love song for TSF)

YouTube via FatSynthDude | September 18, 2010

Hmm... I'm guessing TSF is obviously TheSynthFreq. This post gets credit for the Synth Romance label, although the first post I believe goes to synthfrau aka synthiefrau on YouTube. No, love for synths does not count otherwise every single post would get the label. Video description from FatSynthDude on YouTube:

"Nothing too fancy going on here. This was all done in one take, so it's a little sloppy. (I never said I was a great musician and I definitely never said I was good at copping the styles of the 80's!) Just a little something in tribute to a very entertaining decade as well as to everybody's favorite 80's synth addict. ;-)

I tried to be as authentic to the decade as possible in regards to synths, however a lot of my gadgets (especially drum machines, mixers, and effects) were made in the 90's or the 00's. :-(

Vermona DRM-1 mkIII - Drums
Sequential Pro One - Bass
Akai AX60 - Pads
Siel DK600 - Lead (kinda buried in this mix)
Prophet 600 - Sync synth line the guitar is playing
Schecter Devil Elite - The guitar itself
Line 6 Pod X3 Pro - Guitar effects
Roland GR-30 - Guitar to MIDI converter

I've actually got two mixes of this song with the one in the video being the latter of the two. The original version was mixed while it was recording, was sent through some hardware effects processors, and sent to tape. The mix in the video came about because of a little happy accident in recording. The StudioLives allow me to archive everything to the computer, so I make it a habit of recording EVERYTHING. In the process of this, I was recording the signal coming out of the guitar through the Pod in case I decided later to send the guitar through a different synth or just wanted to correct something with the synth line later (hooray for audio-MIDI conversion!) I accidentally left the amp simulation switched on and I happened to like the result. I remixed the whole thing in Reaper with software effects, turned the Prophet 600 down in the mix, and put the guitar track over it so that the sync sound is more like an effect.

Also, because the patch being used on the Prophet 600 is in unison mode, and guitar to MIDI conversion is finicky, the P600 doesn't always trigger when it's supposed to. Kind of a neat effect in this context, imo.

Hope you all like it, and if you don't, keep it to yourselves because my skin is thinner than paper. :-D

...I just noticed that you can make out Audrey Hepburn's reflection in my guitar during certain points of the vid. XD"

Lets Get LoFi 7 - Yamaha Pss380 + Ps55

YouTube via ChrisLody | September 19, 2010

"The Yamaha pss380 is a FM synth home keyboard with some basic editing functions via 7 sliders, it matches the pss390 in all but its colours. I recently dug it out of the attic and began playing around with its synth edit functions and more or less randomly made up this string sound. The good thing about the pss380 is that some of its presets are stereo which is achieved by hard panning and detuning its voices. It retains this stereo effect even when editing so it can be very useful. It has the affect of reducing the polyphony to 4 from 8 on these presets.

To get this string sound on the pss380 do the following:
Select preset 41, turn off dual voice, turn on the digital synth feature, then set the sliders to Spec. 2, Mod. 7/8, Att. 4, Dec. 1, Rel. 1, Vib.7, Vol. 7

The Ps55 is being used again in this video. Here i'm using it mainly for it arpeggio feature which only has one sound and 2 variations but is still quite nice. Usefully you can fade the auto bass and drums down and just have the arp playing. Later on i play the Accordian and Fantasy sounds layered together. The Solo sounds on the Ps55 are monophonic and it always plays the top note so can behave a bit like a duophonic synth."
