Bongo Peak


Published on Jan 31, 2019 verstaerker

"i created some bongo-esque sound using the Novation Peak only ... no external Effekts have been used
sequenced from an Doepfer MAQ16/3 - i'm using a Lemur App to control the Gates on the MAQ (as it lacks hardware buttons for that)"

Novation Peak covering Buchla bongos. If you go back far enough, there was a bongo meme where the majority of new Buchla 200e videos were essentially bongo sounds. People wondering why anyone would spend ~$20k to just to make bongo tracks. :)

MOOG Modular Synthesizer Evolving Patches


Published on Jan 31, 2019 OFR

"A simple evolving patch on the Moog (plus a few DotCom etc modules up top). I've been enjoying programming fairly non-typical setups on the Moog using the Filter Coupler and so on. I will be posting more soon."

Imagine seeing that outdoors in the forest.

Rare Waves Hydronium – Anode Sludge (synth demo)


Published on Jan 31, 2019 EA78751

"Rare Waves Hydronium is a great sounding analog synthesizer with MIDI + CV-Gate control, and lots of patchability. Its new for 2019, created and supported by Eric Archer behind the Grendel brand. Hydronium comes as a DIY kit or pre-assembled, available now at rarewaves.net in tabletop format and a Eurorack version is in the works.

This demo track focuses on heavy tones in the stoner doom vein. The black Hydronium has a distortion pedal patched into its effects loop to bring out some lovely nasty crusty crunchy sounds. This synth’s effects loop is positioned between its VCF and VCA, which is a sweet spot for distortion, fuzz, and overdrive. It lets you use a distortion pedal for waveshaping without sacrificing the synth’s dynamic range or increasing the background noise. The yellow Hydronium is playing through a spring reverb 100% wet, and has an external LFO patched to its VCF CV input for psychedelic lead sounds. The blue box is dry in the mix."

"Elevation: 99" a TR-8S song by gattobus


Published on Jan 31, 2019 gattobus

"This song was created using only TR-8S, single pattern, 4 bars.
I loaded some external samples, like a pad, a Shepard tone and some blips from my modular. The other sounds (Bass, Drums and arpeggio) are from the internal synth engine.
I hope you like it! I had a lot of fun playing it! :-)"

MacBeth M5/M5N Owner's Manual & Patch Book by John Reisenman

Note: Auction links are affiliate links for which the site may be compensated.

via this auction

"An owner’s manual/patch book was never made for the MacBeth M5 or M5N. Because Ken MacBeth was inspired by the ARP 2600, this owner’s manual/patch book begins with an 18-page side by side comparison with color photos and diagrams of the M5 and the ARP. Every socket, slider, rotary dial and switch of the M5 are explained in detail with pictures and text. Page 20 provides a list of 50 patch diagrams contained in the patch book section.

Although the ARP 2600 patch book can be used with limited success to create sounds on the M5, the substantial differences between these 2 semi-modular synthesizers justifies the M5 having its own. These differences consist not only in “normalized” connections vs. required patching, but in parameters that are unique to each synth. I spent just over a year on this project, communicating periodically with Ken MacBeth, who assured me that there were no circuit changes in the M5N compared to the original M5. Thus, the patch book diagrams apply equally to both models. For ease of use, each patch diagram is accompanied by a color-coded explanatory text corresponding to the referenced parameters shown in the same color. The patch diagrams are designed to illustrate both the sound and functionality of the M5/M5N. Re-creating all 50 diagrams will provide a solid foundation in semi-modular synth programming on the M5/M5N. There is also an appendix containing a 7-page list of all the M5/M5N specifications, with an explanation of every function.

This M5/M5N Owner’s Manual and Patch Book is made to order and printed on demand. Free shipping within the continental USA via media mail. International shipping costs apply. (Contact me regarding international shipping)"

"Sequential Circuits Pro One installed new CPU which gives you way more steps for the sequencer AND keeps your stored sequences after you turn it off and doesnt erase it like all the old ones do. Still have old CPU, plug in play easy to reinstall.

Also upgraded to new Fatar keybed. The old jwire keybed worked, but this gives a brand new feel and I still have the old one.

Also comes with custom wooden black case!

It has small 60cycle hum typical on some models but hum eliminator gets rid of the ground loop and I've always used one."

Scales Learning Scales


Published on Jan 31, 2019 Intellijel

"Scales is an 8hp dual-channel note quantizer and step sequencer. Fundamentally, it takes an input voltage, quantizes it to notes in a user-defined scale, and sends that quantized voltage to an output, where you can use it as a melodic pitch source for oscillators or any other module that expects to see discreet note values at its input.

Scales goes far beyond the fundamental, allowing you unprecedented control of the pitches and intervals hiding inside your control voltages; turn LFO’s into arpeggiators; random voltages into harmonic counterpoint; and unquantized external CV sequencers into chromatically tuned note sequencers.

Quantization can be locked to an incoming trigger. There are a number of trigger output options as well, ranging from no triggering (good for pitch shifting drones); through triggers that sync with either of the two outputs (or both); to a trigger or gate transmitted in sync with one sent to the module’s TRIG input."

Akai Force vs Ableton Push 2: Which is better for you?


Published on Jan 31, 2019 loopop

"While at Winter NAMM 2019, Akai agreed to a "no question off the table" interview about their new Force standalone clip launcher/groovebox/sampler.

Alongside this interview I compare Force's features to Ableton Push (and occasionally Maschine MK3).

Here's a link to the video I made comparing Push 2 to Maschine MK3: [posted here]

The comparison is between Force and what Push 2 can do as a controller, not the entirety of Ableton Live as a DAW, which is of course substantially more comprehensive.

Frap Tools Falistri - complex oscillator "first patch"


Published on Jan 31, 2019 DivKidVideo

"So here's my first patch with the Falistri from Frap Tools. It's always nice to share my literal first patch and experience with modules before doing more in-depth demos and explanations. This first patch is using both function generators in looping mode, at audio rates, to create a dual oscillator and complex oscillator series of sounds. The Ring Mod and VCA section below takes normalled versions of the oscillator outputs and I have FM patched between both oscillators (function generators as oscillators) for some cross mod / x mod."

Lifeforms Primary Oscillator-Pittsburgh Modular Synthesis Demo


Published on Jan 31, 2019 Dziam Bass

"Hello Frinds.
I have another small movie showing Primary Oscillator-Pittsburgh Modular Synthesis. I used here with the sequencer one free sequence with the addition of Black Hole DSP-Erica Synths reverb to emphasize the beautiful melody and the second sequence faster with the addition of the Black Dual VCF -Erica Synths filter and a little addition of resonance.
This oscillator works well in many situations, for solid bass, for charmonics bass, lead, for beautiful highs tones of melody or ambient and textures, timbre change gives a wide spectrum of synthesis in combination with fragments or Blade function gives completely good results, sometimes behaving as chorus which affects very nicely for sound"

Has Elektron Lost Its Way? Sidstation, Mono & Machinedrum (Part1)


Published on Jan 30, 2019 Synth & Sundry

"Elektron started with the Sidstation in 1998 built around the sound chip from the Commodore 64. It wouldn’t look out of place on a spy’s desk, somewhere in Cold War Sweden.

3 years later, they upped the ante with the Machinedrum, a digital drum machine with four percussive sound engines, a super-involved sequencer and multiple outs.

The Monomachine came in 2003 and applied the same form factor and sequencer magic but, this time, around five synth engines.

Elektron uploaded their first video to YouTube in 2009. It starred Hector (played by Kola Krauze) as a stern instructor.

The setting was a positively dystopian anechoic chamber. In my opinion, Elektron, at this point, saw itself not as a maker of consumer-friendly products but rather, as designers of unique machines.
They appealed to those crazy enough to try."

Nonlinear Labs C15 Synthesizer At NAMM 2019


Published on Jan 30, 2019 Synthtopia

"At the 2019 NAMM Show, Nonlinear Labs made the NAMM debut of their C15 synthesizer.

The C15 is unusual in that it's a keyboard that's designed to be closer to traditional instruments than traditional synthesizers. As a result, it doesn't have internal sequencing, ARP, LFO's or even MIDI - it's designed for you to play it expressively, not machines.

In the first section of the video, founder Stephan Schmitt gives an introduction to the philosophy behind the C15. Starting around 8:30, Schmitt demonstrates the C15 and explains how the keyboard's expressive capabilities dynamically control its synthesis engine."

Prophet X Receives 2019 TEC Award -- Best New Musical Instrument


First mentioned here, the official press release follows.

Congrats to Sequential! :)

"Prophet X Receives 2019 TEC Award for Best New Musical Instrument

San Francisco, CA—Jan 30, 2019—The NAMM Foundation has awarded the Sequential Prophet X its prestigious Technical Excellence & Creativity (TEC) Award for “Best New Musical Instrument.” The Award was presented at the Foundation’s annual awards ceremony at the National Association of Music Merchants convention in Anaheim, California. The award marks the third TEC award for Sequential and the second TEC award for 8Dio’s Troels Folmann, sample content developer for the instrument.

The TEC Awards are the “Oscars” of the pro audio and sound recording industry and recognize the most outstanding products and technical achievements in the world of music making, live performance, video games, television, and film. Winners represent superior accomplishments in their respective fields and categories.

In addition to the TEC award, the Prophet X has garnered wide critical acclaim from both the music industry press and users alike for its sonic versatility and depth. Its powerful, yet easy to use combination of synthesis-plus-samples technology powers two simultaneous 16-bit, 48kHz sample-based instruments plus two high-resolution digital oscillators with waveshape modulation — all processed through analog filters.

It boasts an internal library of 150 GB of sample content from Academy-award winning sample developers 8Dio, as well as the ability to import up to 50 GB of additional user samples and third-party add-on content. Users can shape the samples through loop manipulation, sample stretching, and a full complement of synthesis functions which include 4 envelope generators, 4 LFOs, and a deep modulation matrix. A dual-effects engine, 64-step polyphonic step sequencer, and arpeggiator add additional performance features.

Sequential founder Dave Smith commented: “We’re proud that the Prophet X has been recognized by both the NAMM Foundation and by the public for what it is — a great-sounding, easy to use creative tool that puts powerful technology in the hands of musicians. That’s always been our philosophy and that’s what we continue to do.” 8Dio co-founder Troels Folmann added: “Receiving a TEC award is always a gratifying experience, but we’re particularly pleased to receive it for our work on the Prophet X because the synth gives musicians a very immediate, expressive, and tactile way to use our deep-sampled instruments.”

The Prophet X ($3,999 US MAP) and Prophet XL ($4,399 US MAP) are available from Sequential’s worldwide network of dealers."

Published on Jan 30, 2019 Boredbrain Music

"In this experiment, the Novation Circuit and Behringer Neutron are mixed together with Boredbrain Splix, which is fed into the Transmutron. The SPLITPOINT frequency control is being modulated manually and by the random S&H from Neutron. FX loop 1 of Transmutron is processed by the Moog Cluster Flux while FX loop 2 runs through the Neutron's own overdrive. The Transmutron is switched back and forth between Fission Mode (crossover) and Fallout Mode (wide resonant notch filter).

Corsynth C105 MKII - Creating random gates


Published on Jan 30, 2019 Corsynth

"How to create random gates using the Corsynth C105 MKII"


via Corsynth

"The C105 VC Noise / Lo-Fi Machine MKII is a voltage controlled analog sample rate reducer and a VC Nosie generator. This new MKII version expands the modules possibilities with new features that allows this module to be used in other ways not possible with the previous version. Now the C105 MKII can be used like a traditional sample and hold , a voltage controlled clock generator , a random gate / trigger generator or a 12 db VC High pass filter and even as a square wave VCO.

The C105 new characteristics are :

The internal clock has a new LOW mode that allows to use it as a traditional sample and hold.
The module now accepts external clock signals, so it can be synced to other modules.
New clock output. Now the C105 can be used as a master clock.
The passive first order HPF has been replaced for a voltage controlled second order HPF.
The C105 is based on a Sample and Hold with an internal clock that goes from 0,2Hz up to 44KHz and it can be voltage controlled. This wide frequency range and two FM inputs ( one with a reversible attenuator ) allow to create subtle or harsh digital and aliassing effects. The internal noise generator in combination with the S&H make a perfect way to create pitched noises, random voltages, sound FXs etc. In addition, there is also a 12db VC controlled high pass filter with an independent output.

The C105 can be used in many different ways:

Sample rate reducer
Noise generator
Voltage controlled High pass filter
Random voltage generator
Random gate generator
Sample and Hold
VC Clock
Square wave oscillator
………


Price : 215 € + VAT

C105 VC Noise / Lo-Fi MKII

The Lo-Fi input is normalized to the internal noise generator.

The C105 Voltage Controlled Noise / Lo-Fi Machine MKII is built using high quality electronic components, Switchcraft jacks, NKK switches, Cosmo knobs (the same used in the Moog Modulars) , black anodized aluminium front panel …."
