Modular Ambience

video by George Benton

"First try at an unattended (mostly) ambient generator. 7 oscillators, several filters and VCA's. Three LFO's unsync'd driving the VCA's and misc items like filter tuning and resonance settings, Oscillator tuning. A slow moving sequencer 3x8 for pitch changes. Great to go to sleep by since it's boring. :)"

"This is a Vintage Oberheim 12 voice with 12 individual outs.Just got back from my synth guru who rebuilt the power supply and put a new battery in along with loaded factory programs.This has been in storage for 22 years in my studio and hasn't been played because of the power supply issue.I had it repaired with the hopes of selling a complete package original manual, flight case and fully functioning synthesizer, which by the way is one of the most revered, greatest synthesizers that has ever been made.It's the cream of the crop..although I believe the #1 hyped vintage synth right now might be the Jupiter 8.The Oberheim Matrix 12 has 4 more voices,multitimbral and almost unlimited sources and destinations for modulation.It's a sound designers analog vintage dream machine"

The Noiseblast Hour, Episode 11: Frequency Heaven and Tunegirl

tunegirl is Andrea Gill of Germany. Andrea formed her first band in high school in the 70s when she played guitar. Fast forward a few years and she played with her first synthesizer and was hooked. She bought her first modules just a few years ago and is known for the driving techno she makes.

Frequency Heaven is, among other things, an exploration of sound/vibration and their effects on consciousness. I like to play with analog circuitry, digital tools, synthesizers, my jazzmaster guitar, and modulated vocals to create etheric transmissions and transmute energy."

The All-Dancing Accelero-Gyro DIY Triple CV Controller

video by Izhar Ashdot Sound & Vision

"As part of my fascination with Sensors, I built an Accelerometer-Gyroscope based controller for modular synths that outputs 3 CV streams to control any parameter in your synth setup.

In this video I'm controlling the Pitch of an oscillator with the Pitch axis, the cutoff frequency of a filter with the Roll axis, and the resonance of the same filter with the Yaw axis.

I 3D printed an enclosure for the GY-521and I wear it like a watch using 2 velcro cable ties."

UDO SUPER 6 -- 64 Custom Patches, Sounds & Soundset | Synthesizer Demo

video by synth4ever

"SUPERSONIC - 64 custom patches, sounds & sound bank for the UDO Super 6 by synth4ever.
► Get these patches here: https://www.synth4ever.com/patches​

Unleash your UDO Super 6 with SUPERSONIC, a versatile custom soundset comprised of lush soundscapes, ambient/chillout, electronica and IDM-influenced sounds. These 64 patches cover a wide range of sonic territory including pads, leads, strings, sequences, arps, keys, textures, bass and FX.

The Super 6 is a beautiful sounding, versatile and powerful digital/analog hybrid synth, and I tried to push it in new directions when creating many of these patches using firmware v0.26. In addition to traditional "bread and butter" sounds, this UDO Super 6 soundset also includes some experimental motion loops, generative soundscapes and texture-based approaches to sound design.

These 64 custom patches will install to user banks A-H on your UDO SUPER 6, and nearly all contain tasteful aftertouch and pitch bend (positive and negative) modulation assignments. This gives you additional expression and timbre possibilities within the patch itself - so be sure to experiment with these controllers!

Overall, I'm proud of the SUPERSONIC soundset and believe it covers a lot of interesting sonic territory for musicians and listeners alike. Thanks for your interest in and support of my work; I hope you enjoy exploring and performing with these patches on your UDO Super 6 as much as I do on mine, should you wish to acquire them.

"It's time for another 8bit Warps tutorial, let's have a look at the Sweep function

I'm now planning to make a tutorial on the parameter lock function as requested by a viewer alongside a drum synthesis tutorial which is quite a deep subject so that one will take a little longer.

I think I managed to cover everything but if you have any questions then please post them in the comments below

Arturia Polybrute - IT'S FINALLY HERE!! First Few Patches!

video by Lost Clouds

"After a few months of deliberation I decided to pull the trigger on the PolyBrute - here's the first 4 patches I came up within the first hour of working with this thing, it's a dream so far :) Some more general thoughts:

- This thing is HEAVY - 20kg is more than you'd think and I wouldn't dare risk this on the upper tier of my 2-tier stand (rated to 25kg, but no thank you...) or any cheap stands. On the plus side, all that weight comes from incredible build quality - the wood is gorgeous, and the metal is a much nicer look in person. Feels super sturdy!

- Including a paper manual is always a welcome addition, and as far as manuals go this one is fairly nice to look at, there's even colour on the front!!

- As others have noted the keys feel a little spongey - I wasn't too sure about this at first but I'm starting to really like it. It feels nice to play and, imo, makes velocity-sensitive routings a bit easier to work with compared with other, more 'solid' key actions I've dealt with

- The first calibration is slow. I'm hoping this is just a factory-reset sort of calibration and not something I need to do every time I turn the synth on? Haven't turned it off yet since it arrived 4 hours ago...

- The oscillators were initially out of tune and drifted out of tune again after a couple of hours, granted it's been pretty warm in my room today. Had to calibrate the oscillators twice, but thankfully it's a little quicker than the initial calibration. Hoping this is normal and I don't have a buggy unit?

- This thing sounds really, really good - I tried out a few of the presets, and they're fun, but I almost immediately went to making my own because that's where all the fun is! Everything is immediately accessible, the oscillators sound good and quite hefty (see the first part of the video below where the bass notes really cut through and add some weight to the sound). Things are laid out quite differently on Arturia synths compared to others, and this is my first Arturia, so it's taking some getting used to but it's all very intuitive. It's quite a modern sound, I can't get it into vintage, Bladerunner-style territory very easily, but that just means it'll be a nice compliment to the Rev2.

- It is a blast to explore. I've been at it for a few hours and I've barely scratched the surface. Definitely one you can lose yourself in for hours at a time.

- The sequencer is INCREDIBLE - programming and messing around with a polyphonic sequence is easy, and the integration with the mod matrix to show steps, notes and modulations is genius. I'm really not sure there's much more they could do on this to make it better, but time will tell!!

I do have a couple of fairly minor 'issues':

- It would be nice if the screen could display the value a knob/slider is at, like the Rev2 or Peak does, and if there was a "Show" feature like on Sequential synths where you hold "Show", turn a knob and it tells you where it's at

- I'm yet to RTFM but I can't see any way to change the length of a sequence to a number of your choosing (e.g. 5 steps)?

- The output level is a bit lower than other synths I own, which isn't necessarily a problem but I definitely have to use the pre-amps on my Scarlett 18i8 whereas with others (Peak or Sub37 in particular) I can get away with running them into the line inputs. Not a criticism, just an observation.

Overall, very very pleased and excited to keep exploring."
