Volume II completes the bank with another 64 brand new patches. We've also added 28 additional complimentary patches to the mix for a grand total of 165 patches! In Volume II we tried to focus more on leads and basses. According to the categories, you get 22 leads and 12 basses, but many of the sounds in the other categories are also up to the task. We spent a considerable amount of time working with the envelopes' key tracking and velocity settings to really make these patches spring to life under your fingers. The modwheel, aftertouch and velocity assignments are extensive and produce an extremely enjoyable playing experience. Save nearly 20% as part of our introductory offer...If you already own Volume I, "73 for the 37", check your email for an extra special discount offer!"

Africa by Toto on Musical Tesla Coils

Franzoli Electronics

"For those who did not understand what is going on this video, here's a brief explanation: The main loud music really comes from the tesla coil sparks. They are literally playing the music due to the programmed phase, pulse width and firing frequency! So, there are no speakers, no audio / video special effects. It looks even better in person and sounds almost the same, just without the beat / percussion backing track.

I hope you all enjoy this version where I worked for musical tesla coils!"

Arturia Keystep Pro Jam and a Few of Our Favorite Performance Features

Perfect Circuit

"The Arturia Keystep Pro is powerful sequencer that could be the centerpiece of your hardware and/or software setup. It has drum and polyphonic sequencers built in as well as multiple arpeggiators. The Keystep Pro can connect to pretty much any device since it outputs USB midi, DIN midi and analog CV/Gate and Triggers. In this video we sequenced a hardware midi synth, some eurorack modules and a software synth running on an iPad.

There are so many cool features that it’s hard to choose one. The arpeggiator was our favorite feature. It is extremely useful for performance and creating new ideas and ways to play chords. You can add up to 16 notes to your arpeggio. You have the ability to create an arpeggio by playing the notes and then selecting the HOLD feature. From there you can make changes to the step and gate length of the notes. Additionally, you can change the octave range, change time divisions, as well as velocity and randomness to the notes all on the fly.

Keystep Pro available here: https://www.perfectcircuit.com/arturi...

Il y avait .. à vent...

Laurent Baloran

Baloran controlled by Aodyo Sylphyo wind instrument. Googlish translation below.

"Laurent, un camarade nordiste et son équipe ont conçu le Sylphyo, un instrument à vent autonome et midi via le lynk. Bien sûr, j'ai voulu m’intéresser au midi et sa liaison avec The River. J'ai profité de la version 2.0 de l'OS de The River pour adapter l'information de souffle CC11 au fonctionnement de The River : lissage du flux, modification du cycle de l'enveloppe (le decay 'disparait' et le sustain est 'remplacé' par le souffle...),
Tout ce que vous entendez sort du River, une prise, effets inclus (le nouveau Shim). Voilà, vous constaterez avec effroi que je n'ai pas beaucoup bossé la flûte à l'école ;)"

Googlish:

"Laurent, a northern comrade and his team designed the Sylphyo, an autonomous and midi wind instrument via the lynk. Of course, I wanted to take an interest in Midi and its connection with The River. I took advantage of version 2.0 of The River OS to adapt the CC11 breath information to the operation of The River: smoothing the flow, modifying the envelope cycle (the decay 'disappears' and the sustain is 'replaced' by breath ...),
Everything you hear comes out of the River, one plug, effects included (the new Shim). Here, you will note with fright that I did not work a lot the flute at school;)"

Sequential Artist Spotlight: The Grownup Noise

Sequential

"Since releasing their self-titled debut in 2007, Boston's The Grownup Noise have evolved into a rousing and innovative pop-music outfit, bridging the gap between Americana music and Indie Rock. With a genuine respect for every style of music, this band and its songwriter, Paul Hansen, are song obsessed. After numerous sold-out shows, 7 national tours (many in a veggie-oil powered conversion van), and 4 albums, the band has grown many long sturdy branches, flowers, a few weeds, and has amassed a dense variation of meaningful characters along the way. People often ask about the meaning of the name; The Grownup Noise is something to rebel against, like fear, complacency, the closing of your heart, the stress of bills etc.

Guitarist/Keyboardist Paul Hansen is featured in this Spotlight with the Prophet Rev2 synthesizer, being used as both a songwriting and performance instrument.

A different way to make songs w/ the Novation Circuit (multitrack recording)

Gabe Miller Music

"In which I show the easiest (but kinda janky) way to export separate tracks on the Novation Circuit, and how I work with those tracks in my DAW. While jamming is my go-to, I like this method as a bit of a different way to make songs with the Circuit, combining its hands-on workflow and portability with the power and control of a DAW."

"The Vermona Synthesizer is one of only two synthesizer models developed and officially produced in the German Democratic Republic (GDR). In my video series I want to intruduce this rare synth. First part shows the VCO calibration process. The complete process (VCA, Envelopes, base voltage etc.) needs soldering and an oscilloscope. VCO calibration should be applicable to 90% of all calibration work so we focus on that."

Moog Mother-32: Expressive Bass (FREE pdf with patches)

Anton Anru

"This soundset is devoted to expressive bass line and Mother-32 gives great opportunities to create it.
All this patches are supposed to be used in pair with the internal sequencer as they are based on the sequencer parameters, like Gate Time, Accent, Slide, Hold, Reset, and others.
The patches with AssignOut have recommendation on which Assign source to choose. However, you should experiment with different sources get the greatest results.
I’m very excited about Mother-32 expressive opportunities especially if patchbay is extensively used. So to recreate these patches you need up 8 patch cords.

Contents:
00:00 Noisy Res
01:13 Detuned Pulse
02:40 Perc Inside
03:41 Most Aggressive
04:45 Kind Mood
06:04 Dive In and Out

One-off MDMAFX Dual Uglyface Custom Fuzz Distortion Noise Synth tabletop pedal

"One-off MDMAFX Dual Uglyface Custom Fuzz Distortion Noise tabletop pedal. This is a very odd dual distortion pedal that I had made by MDMAFX several years ago. It’s based on their Uglyface fuzz design but doubled everything with extra switches and 4 LFO’s! Designed for tabletop use. Gotten sounds out of it that I’ve never heard before, strange metallic oscillations and grindy high harmonics. I don’t even know how everything works, it was a highly experimental build. Some cosmetic wear from smoke-free studio usage. Takes a standard Boss 9v power supply."

Roland RS-202 Strings Synthesizer SN 520753

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

via this auction

"The 61-key Roland RS-202, released in Japan in 1976, is a classic analog synthesizer that can produce rich string tones as well as bass sounds that are especially warm and vintage-sounding (think “disco strings”). It also features a vibrato effect and Roland’s famous ensemble/chorus. One cool thing about the RS-202 is that the entire keyboard is polyphonic (i.e. you can play all the keys at the same time). The pitch range of string instruments (contrabass to violin) is roughly split between the two string patches, covering a wide range of tones. The Roland RS-202 is widely considered one of the best string synths from this era, and the instrument has a huge legacy.

This synthesizer is in very good condition, with some signs of use overall (please see photos), including scratches and slight yellowing of the keys. The entire unit has been thoroughly tested by our professional technician and works perfectly."

Experimental music hardware starter setup on a budget

HAINBACH

Oberheim FVS Demo

Randy Piscione

"Demo of my Oberheim FVS-1. This one took two years to get to where it is now, and is still a bit flaky sometimes (like me) but still amazing to play. I want to thank John at PM Foundations for his substantial help in getting this working. Without him, it would be in a closet.

0:00 is a thick pad. 2:16 is another pad using a pinball song, with the VCF between LPF and Notch. 4:37 uses the Bandpass filter. 6:54 is polyphonic VCO sync. 8:39 is a bird-related excerpt using a split keyboard, with one SEM playing the bass and the other 3 doing the chords. The top three are tuned an octave higher than the bass SEM."
