"Today we have a look at the Future Retro Vectra and my DIY granular effects processor Octatcosm 0.6 which I built on the Octatrack Mk2. I love granular synthesis, in this video I'll show you my workflow for making granular loops using the Octatrack. The Future Retro Vectra is a digital and anlog syntheizer with 4 joysticks you can assign any parameter to for hands on modulation. It's a lot of fun. You can get the Octacosm project from my Patreon if you already own and Octatrack and want a granular effects box for $4.

Future Retro Vectra Synthesizer: Tremolo Piano - in and out of sync

video upload by artoftravelogue

"This is a patch I created on the Vectra Synthesizer. In this patch, each of the four voices have its own LFO for amplitude control. They synchronize to the press of a key. If you don't press all notes at the same time when the XY joystick is in the down position, then they will synchronize, but be out of phase with each other. I use the XY joystick to change the speed of each LFO, which in turn creates a sound of free running LFOs that are not in sync with each other."

Future Retro Vectra Synthesizer Demos

video uploads by artoftravelogue



Playlist:

1. Future Retro Vectra Synthesizer: choir sound

Here is a demonstration of a male choir patch that I made on the Future Retro Vectra synthesizer. Even though this synth engine is normally layering the 4 voices (oscillator pairs with separate envelopes) as a single voice, it also has a nice paraphonic mode where you can play 4 voices simultaneously through the single filter. I assigned the xy joystick to the vibrato rate.

2. Future Retro Vectra Paraphonic trick

One thing about paraphonic synthesizer voices, is that the notes are retriggered through the filter and final VCA. This can be very useful in a patch or sound like this, where some of the voices are still playing the last chord until cycling through all 4 voices. The XY joystick in this patch changes a minor chord to a major chord by raising the third a half step. If the joystick is in the middle between the major and minor third, then you only play the blues with this patch, just kidding.

3. Future Retro Vectra Synthesizer: beat and sequencer example

The Vectra has a unique feature where the envelopes can be delayed for each of the 4 voices. By creating drum sounds then using this delay to create rhythms and sequencing a simple pattern using this drum loop, you can get some interesting rhythms. The mix joystick lets you control the balance between the drum sounds. the XY joystick is changing the delay on 2 of the voices.

4. Future Retro Vectra Synthesizer: Cello sound example

The Future Retro Vectra Synthesizer has a powerful voice architecture. Not only does it allow a similar wave blending engine like the famous Prophet VS or the ModWave, but it also has 4 joysticks to mix, filter, and adjust the sound as you are playing it. The XY joystick is assigned to vibrato rates and the aftertouch is assigned to the vibrato amount.

Future Retro Vectra INHALT Demo No talking

https://future-retro.com/

"Recently I had the great pleasure of working with the newly restarted Future Retro company on their Vectra hybrid synthesizer. It’s a really lovely synth and very unique in that it sort of captures the mood of both something like an EMS VCS3 and also the Oberheim Xpander. In all my decades working with synthesizers, I haven’t quiet come across anything as distinct and unique as this synthesizer. Keep your eyes on Future Retro; they’re one of my favourite companies from the 90s and I’m very grateful I got a chance to work with the. #inhalt #synthpop #ambient #drone #sounddesign #synth #analogsynth #modular #keyboard"

Sounds amazing, real analog and imo better than a TB-303 and much easier to use and program."

Future-Retro VECTRA Giveaway

Future-Retro is having a drawing to give a way a VECTRA on Oct 1st.

You can find full details on how to enter on their site here: https://future-retro.com/vectra-giveaway/

"The Vectra is a unique hybrid synthesizer with a flexible architecture that allows many different forms of synthesis to be realized. It’s the best of both worlds… The Vectra utilizes digital oscillators, ring modulators, noise sources, vector mixer, LFO’s, complex envelopes, and modulation routings providing many capabilities that would be very difficult to produce with analog circuitry alone. This allows for accurate tuning, repeatability of complex patches, and patch storage. The Vectra also provides a multi-mode analog filter, VCA, and final output, as these provide the best sonic qualities.
The Vectra includes a powerful and fun sequencer and arpeggiator, with many new capabilities. Although the Vectra is a self contained instrument, MIDI can be used to interface with other devices."

via this auction

"Based loosely on the infamous Triadex Muse; a shift register based musical instrument where faders represented different feedback loops into shift registers. What it leads to are literally zillions of musical patterns. It’s an amazing compositional tool for ambient, baroque and many synthesized music genres. Stuck on a lick and need a good melody? Use the Zillions and you’ll find endless musical possibilities."
