Best Ambient Synth Shootout #92: Wersi DX 1000 - Song 3


Published on Jun 1, 2020 Christian's Sonic Spaces

"This is the third song with the Wersi DX 1000. It's a 54-note polyphonic, 16-part multitimbral ROM-based sound module using the so called ASIC-Technology. It features 256 ROM sounds, 256 RAM sounds and 6 drum sets with overall 120 drum sounds. Somehow there is almost nothing known about this unit, expect the above features that I found here and there. There is neither an operation manual available nor any deeper description. Well, it has RAM sounds, which implies that one should be able to change sounds, but so far I couldn't discover yet how because the setup knob guides just to some cryptic performance related settings. I guess the unit is from the early 90s and for that age it sounds to me surprisingly good.

I used for the recording the following FX chain:
DX 1000 - DigiTech Obscura - Pigtronix Echolution 2 Deluxe - GFI System Specular Reverb 2. Depending on the recorded track some FX are deactivated

The signal went through a Presonus StudioLive 16.0.2 into the PCfor recording. To create the complete song I recorded consecutively several stereo tracks. The final song was then mastered with a bit EQ and compression on some tracks and some limiting on the master track."

Vermona Drm1MkIII With Novation Launchpad Pro Mk3


Published on Jun 1, 2020 Sound Provider

"I share this video because I was looking for a Hardware and Dawless sequencer with a good workflow for my lovely Vermona Drm1 MkIII Drum Machine since long time and I m pretty happy with the Novation Launchpad Pro Mk3 sequencer, so I wanted to show you my pratice .

Warning,The sound is pretty raw because the analog DrumMachine is in solo here but it's a good opportunity to make a demo of the Vermona too :) .

For info the Drum is already half mixed here (lot of SSL Eq and compressor) and the main effect on the Drum 1/2, Multi and HiHat 2 of the Vermona is my Roland Space echo tape delay.

Still interested to test other sequencer for the Vermona, so feel free to tell me what is your favorite

The HAL-ICM Frigit - a "Russian Fairlight"


via Retro Synth Ads, where you'll find the full write-up.

"The HAL-ICM Frigit synthesizer from page 16 in the July 1984 issue of Keyboard Magazine.

The instrument itself, called the HAL-ICM Frigit, was designed by a Japanese-Soviet team, with the head of the music division of the Ukraine Society Academy of Scientists describing it as the 'most advanced computer musical instrument in the world'. It was similar in appearance to the Fairlight but it's 'costs, signal-to-noise ratio, digital recording facility, and synthesizing techniques for both sound and light were far superior to any current system'."


Sound Design with Polyend Dreadbox Medusa (Ep.5) - Drones & FM


Published on Jun 1, 2020 Miltos Schimatariotis

"This new episode demonstrates the sound of analog FM in the Medusa and a good way to explore these FM capabilities of the synth is by creating Drones. Since this type of evolving sounds can be created in many different ways, here I 'm just giving you some general directions in order to find your own sound. I also demonstrate how you can alternate your FM timbres with wavetables for more diverse soundscape creation.
Beyοnd the sound design, this video also features an example of using the MIDI CC capabilities of the synth for controlling and modulating external effects (or other MIDI gear) with the internal LFOs and Envelopes.
Finally, don't miss the second half of the video with my 'stereo' Drone jam with two Medusas.
Lots of content in this one, I hope you 'll find it interesting! Thanks for watching and feel free to leave your comments or questions!

Flame Mäander - Old Axolotl Dreams // Sunset Synth Jam #TTNM


Published on Jun 1, 2020 THE TUESDAY NIGHT MACHINES

"Two Flame Mäander synth recordings in an auditory twirl between dreams and reality. MORE INFO BELOW :)

♥ SUPPORT: http://bit.ly/ttnm-support

I’ve been reading “The old Axolotl” recently, which is quite different than the Netflix series “Into the Night”, but still a very cool experience for a moderate sci-fi nerd like me.

The description of the robots‘ dream plugin inspired me to create this jam session. The two Mäander recordings create harmony and dissonance and one is never quite at ease nor fully engulfed in darkness. The stuttering sunset through the net structure is a nod towards the robots’ once-human souls, which are trapped behind digital sensor interfaces insufficient to accurately represent the reality they knew.

Anyway, enjoy this weird music videos ;-)"

DX5 Playing a-ha "Take on Me"

Roland JP-8000

Backtrack recorded on Pro Tools, using Yamaha DX7 /DX7 IIFD massively (Bass 1 preset across the song).

Logan/Hohner String Melody mkI 1974 - Analogue Synth

Note: Auction links are affiliate links for which the site may be compensated.
Published on Jan 30, 2020 Enzo Boldrini

"The Logan String Melody was a portable keyboard produced in two versions from 1973 to 1982. Manufactured in Italy, it was sold under both the Logan brand name and re-badged as both a and product. The Vox version was called The String Thing but still featured the Logan brand name on the back of the case.

The keyboard consists of four octaves split into two nearly equal sized ranges. In each of these ranges a combination of three string sounds can be mixed using faders labelled Cello, Viola and Violin. Each string sound is pitched one octave apart. In addition to the separate sets of faders for the string sounds, each range has a sustain and release fader. The lower range also features a simple synthesiser that is controlled from using faders labelled Bass and Perc."

Polyend Tracker: Full Release


Published on Jun 1, 2020 Red Means Recording

"*I thought it was going live today, according to Polyend, but it's still in the "pre-order, first come first serve" stage. Here's the official word from Polyend:

'The preorders have started on the 18th of March. We've started shipping the firstly preordered units to private customers/stores/distributors with the last days of May. This is a constant process. I think we'll be sending them for a long time before the Tracker will be available "in stock". Anyone can order at their retailers or directly at polyend.com but we'll be shipping the preorders on a 'first come first serve basis' until September 2020 I think.'

Mono Lake


Published on Jun 1, 2020 CatSynth TV

"Scenes from Mono Lake in California, set to original electronic music by Amanda Chaudhary.

'Mono Lake is a saline soda lake in Mono County, California, formed at least 760,000 years ago as a terminal lake in an endorheic basin. The lack of an outlet causes high levels of salts to accumulate in the lake. These salts also make the lake water alkaline...
...Mono Lake is a highly alkaline lake, or soda lake. Alkalinity is a measure of how many bases are in a solution, and how well the solution can neutralize acids. Carbonate (CO32-) and bicarbonate (HCO3−) are both bases. Hence, Mono Lake has a very high content of dissolved inorganic carbon. Through supply of calcium ions (Ca2+), the water will precipitate carbonate-minerals such as calcite (CaCO3). Subsurface waters enter the bottom of Mono Lake through small springs. High concentrations of dissolved calcium ions in these subsurface waters cause huge amounts of calcite to precipitate around the spring orifices.[8] The tufa originally formed at the bottom of the lake. It took many decades or even centuries to form the well-recognized tufa towers. When lake levels fell, the tufa towers came to rise above the water surface and stand as the majestic pillars seen today'

Exploring underwater environments with a 40$ sport cam.


Published on Jun 1, 2020 Jörg Schaaf

"My tip for the next weekend: Buy a cheap sport cam with an underwater housing plus a selfie stick and explore the underwater nature. That is much better than putting it on a helmet and create stuttering shaking videos.

I used my most favorite Spectralis pattern as the sountrack. I programmed that pattern around 2005 for the song e-pop, that can be found in the factory soundset of the Spectralis 2.

Flame X-4 and 4 VOX fun with Envelope


Published on Jun 1, 2020 Dziam Bass

"Hello Everyone!

I am playing a lot with the 4 VOX module - Quad Polyphonic Wavetable VCO and I'm using the X-4 Quad Envelope VCA from Flame instruments

Here was a little fun when I used only triggers that I introduced to X-4 for fun.

thanks to this, a nice replaceable melody with a beat is created.

you can lengthen the EG or higher raise the channel and you have more attack in the case of this patch for AD.
For me it's fun when I used 3 sounds from 4 VOX and these wavetable are different from each VCO. create completely new sounds that play to the rhythm of triggers. I added LFO to one VCO, you can hear it changing wavetables."
