Patch of the Week 50: volca nubass + volca sample BREAKBEAT ACID JAM

Published on Mar 20, 2020 Korg

"The Korg volca nubass is the most performable acid bass synth out there – with a unique analog VTO (Vacuum Tube Oscillator) providing huge, fat analog sounds, plus the ability to randomize and evolve your transpose, slide, and accent settings, run this bass synth through an overdrive (in this case, Korg’s Nu:Tekt OD:S tube overdrive pedal kit) and add some volca sample drums for pure acid breakbeat bliss."

Friday Fun - M-Audio Venom Dreadbox Hypnosis

Published on Mar 20, 2020 sonicstate

"One thing I've found doing these in recent weeks - the process of just playing and improvising really soothes the soul - temporarily perhaps but its still a pleasant oasis. I can thoroughly recommend you try it.

This time I have the old M-Audio Venom an undeniably digital machine from some time ago, and with a pretty unique and angry sound, though it can do mellow too. I paired this up with the Dreadbox Hypnosis - which is a lovely performance FX unit - see our review.

"The ULTIMATE Memorymoog. The upgrade work performed by Lintronics between 2014-2016 (now has at least a year’s lead time and costs about €8000). Vastly superior in terms of ease of use, stability and MIDI implementation. (LAMM v3.2)

Full working order (and totally overhauled as part of the upgrade process a few years ago).

The upgrade developed and performed by Rudi Linhard finally realises the full potential of these instruments with a redesigned operating system, advanced MIDI functions and improved hardware components. The waiting list and lead time for this work is also the stuff of legend, and the cost is in the region of €8000. Read the full spec of the Lintronics upgrade on their site."

Roland MicroComposer MC-4b + CV Interface OP-8 + Digital Cassette Recorder MTR-100 1981

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

via this auction

"Same type of sequencer essential to early Depeche Mode, Aphex Twin etc. This has extra memory (upgrading it from a 4 to 4b). Voltage for the MC-4b is 100v, voltage for OP-8 and MTR-100 is 220v and 240v. So a bit of a mixture frustratingly. The MC-4b works perfectly as far as from my use. I haven’t had a chance to use the OP-8 or MTR-100, so selling those more as completist collectors pieces. They may well work perfectly, but I had no need for them practically. I recommend getting a copy of MC-4 hack to work with this too- so you can compose and transfer the data from your computer to this sequencer.

"For sale is a freshly built Mutable Instruments Ambika synthesizer with 6 x SVF Voicecards.
Comes in cool graphite Plexiglas case.
Standart Mutable Instruments OS or YAM alternate OS on your choice.
I include in set 9V 1A AC power supply (for 220-230V countries).
Ambika synthesizer is fully assembled, tuned and tested.

"Ambika is a monster multi-voice hybrid synthesizer. You can play it as a 6-voice polysynth, an ensemble of 6 monosynths, or anything inbetween due to its easily configurable voicing architecture.
The sound generation is hybrid, combining the warmth and sonic character of a true 4-pole analog filter (or 2-pole multimode filter depending on the type of voicecard used), with the large array of waveforms offered by digital wavetables, fm and phase modulation. The digital control of the analogue filter and VCA also means a very large palette of modulation possibilities.

YAMAHA SK20 String Machine 1979 | HD DEMO

Published on Mar 20, 2020 AnalogAudio1

"(c) 2020 by AnalogAudio1

Synthesizer Demo of the analog synthesizer/string machine YAMAHA SK-20. I played it along with Lexicon MPX500 (reverb) and a Roland DEP-3 (delay).

Yamaha's SK-series are string machines with additional sections (poly-synth, mono-synth, brass, organ, depending on the model). The SK20 a model in the middle. It has "ORGAN", "STRING" and "POLY-SYNTH" sections, they all are mixable. The Poly-Synth section has a nice analog filter (but only one for all voices - finally it's a string synth, not 100% a synthesizer).

A nice layer-string machine!"

Flame -4 VOX Quad Polyphonic Wavetable VCO/X-4 Quad Envelope VCA/Knight's Gallop-Shakmat Modular

Published on Mar 20, 2020 Dziam Bass

"In this patch I wanted to show mainly 4 VOX Quad Polyphonic Wavetable VCO and X-4 Quad Envelope VCA from Flame Instruments.

I used only one VCO from 4VOX and two channels with X-4.
To this I added pulses from Knight's Gallop from Shakmat Modular to triggers in X-4.
small change of wavetbles and addition of slightly portamento.
the melody is used with LFO as the Arpregio method with clock and quantitative LFO to Pitch in 4 VOX.

http://www.flame-instruments.de

More about modules:

FLAME "4VOX"
Quad wavetable oscillator - Quad LFO - MIDI wavetable expander

The 4VOX is a quad wavetable oscillator with up to four voices per VCO channel, resulting in a maximum of 16 voices at four individual outputs. Due to a MIDI input the module can be played both with CVs or/and directly via MIDI - MIDI allows for modulating some additional parameters. There are 39 memory locations for wavetables and 32 patches for all global and VCO parameters.

Unstoppable - a Krautrock inspired jam on the OP-Z

Published on Mar 19, 2020 Payton Carter

"Check out my music here - https://paytoncarter.bandcamp.com/

I started this jam trying to make something in the vein of Tangerine Dream. I'm not quite sure if it ended up sounded anything like them, but there's definitely some Krautrock influence here.

I'm loving the OP-Z. I'm used to manually changing patterns and sessions on the Novation Circuit, so I thought I would give myself a break and just chain everything together for mostly automatic playing. The workflow on the OP-Z can be a little frustrating at times (especially when trying to work with anything longer than 16 steps), but I think it's best suited to quickly get ideas down and not worry too much about the details. It's lightning fast in that regard.

The new reverb engine is loads better for atmospheric/ambient sounds, which I tend to utilize more. I also really like the new "Analog" sound engine. I'm using it on the arp track here. The only problem is that the two new sound engines each take up a spot in the engine selection, which means if you allow all 8 engines on a track, you only have two spaces for user samples. Surely there's space to allow for plenty more, especially with that (unutilized?) 1GB chip. Please TE, help us out here!"
