[demo] 10 Minutes of Pluck Arp Eternal Patch (Blofeld)


video by Synthesizer Video Service

"This is a demonstration of a self-playing eternal patch, programmed on a Waldorf Blofeld synthesizer. A lot of modulations were used. There was no external post-processing and no external effects were applied. The arp is playing some random notes but the hands were off the unit and the keyboard.

Patchwerks Staff Favorite: Make Noise Mimeophon


video by Patchwerks Seattle

"In this video resident expert Steven Ly performs and shares a few tips and tricks with the Make Noise Mimeophon.

The Mimeophon music synthesizer module is a stereo, multi-zone color audio repeater by Make Noise and soundhack, coded by Tom Erbe.

The Mimeophon (from Greek mimeo (repeat/copy) and phon (sound)) is a modern take on various historical sound copying, echo and repeating devices. It allows for Stereo modulations of Time, Space and Timbre of Mono or Stereo sound sources. The Mimeophon is capable of modulating and morphing time scales of repeated sound from micro-sound to note to phrase length while also coloring and spatializing the repeats.

SISTERS WITH TRANSISTORS

SISTERS WITH TRANSISTORS from Monoduo Films on Vimeo.

VIRTUAL THEATRICAL - ONE WEEK ONLY!

SISTERS WITH TRANSISTORS is the remarkable untold story of electronic music’s female pioneers, composers who embraced machines and their liberating technologies to utterly transform how we produce and listen to music today. Theremins, synthesizers and feedback machines abound in this glorious ode to the women who helped shape, not just electronic music but the contemporary soundscape as we know it.

Avant-garde composer Laurie Anderson narration accompanies fascinating archival footage to trace the history of the technological experimentation of sound, the deconstruction of its parts and the manipulation into something altogether other. While traversing a range of musical approaches and personalities, from academia to outsider art to television commercials, we meet Clara Rockmore, Bebe Barron, Suzanne Ciani, Laurie Spiegel, Daphne Oram, Pauline Oliveros, Delia Derbyshire and Eliane Radigue, fascinating and enigmatic musical geniuses and their peculiar way of hearing the world.

Perfect Circuit Plays PATCH THE CARD GAME w/ the Make Noise Shared System


video by Perfect Circuit

"In this video, our Patch Pals Wes and Jacob try out Patch The Card Game, the modular-focused card game designed to inspire new and creative ways to patch your system. Developed by modular mogul James Cigler, the first volume of Patch TCG provides three types of cards to help craft patches and make changes ranging from subtle to drastic. Abstraction cards tend to provide a starting point for a new patch or add in a substantial element, while Progression and Disruption cards respectively signify small and large modifications to shake things up.

Because of it’s fairly open-ended approach, there are no hard rulesets or highly specific ways to play Patch TCG, and it totally facilitates single or multiplayer experiences. Wes and Jacob are using the Make Noise Black & Gold Shared System Plus in this particular video, but the cards are designed to work with any kind of patchable modular synthesizer.

04:53​ - "Create an entire patch without listening."
06:29​ - "Unpatch all the pitch inputs."
07:21​ - "Modulate the clock source."
08:51​ - "Choose two modules, patch them together."
10:12​ - "Start patching with your least favorite module."

Microwave XT x Spitfire Albion Tundra - A beautiful pairing


video by Mason Chrysler

"I wanted to make a short demo using the Microwave XT to show how well this wonder-machine can fit with acoustic instruments, particularly within the context of film scores. In this track, I've used a few instances of the stunning Spitfire Audio Albion Tundra library for NI Kontakt along with a single recording of a pad patch I created on the Microwave XT. While auditioning wavetables to use with this track, the Organ wavetable stood out as the winner with these particular chords, but I'm very much looking forward to sharing more music using the other factory wavetables which definitely can evoke different thoughts, feelings, and emotions mixed with the endless universe of possibilities the MWXT is capable of. I would love to hear any thoughts you may have as well!

Video made by me. Thank you for tuning in and I hope you enjoy.

“Flux meets Jupiter-4 10 - Polyrhythms” by Friendly Noise


video by Friendly Noise

"Video sections: 00:06​ Part 1
01:29​ Part 2

Only self resonating filters on this video!!!!

This is number 10 of a new video series combining the best of vintage sound and the best of the modern sequencer technology in eurorack: Roland Jupiter 4 and IO Labs Flux. There will be a new short video every week.

The Jupiter 4 is always recorded in mono, which makes the internal chorus very subtle. Reverb is added in Cubase to make the sound wider. There is no clipping in the recording chain. If you hear anything close to distortion, it’s all in the sound coming out of the Jupiter 4."

ASM Hydrasynth Sound Demo by PAD


video by Pure Ambient Drone

"In this video, I demo some Hydrasynth synthesizer presets, patches and sounds!
The new Ashun Sound Machines (ASM) Hydrasynth keyboard is an eight-voice synth with rich options for sound design: with Wave Scanning oscillators, sound shaping via multiple Mutators, two flexible filters per voice, and a fully-thought-out effects section, Hydrasynth is a sound designer's dream. This is the Hydrosynth Keyboard and not the Hydrosynth desktop. Both their synth engines are the same but their interfaces have minor differences.

It offers full polyphonic aftertouch, a large ribbon controller, and an intense arpeggiator with randomness and ratcheting built in. And of course, the modulation section is formidable: five complex envelopes, five complex LFOs, CV/Gate I/O and a 32-path modulation matrix make it possible to create everything from classic key sounds to evolving generative soundscapes."

SCORING MOVIES, ANYONE? COMPOSING BALLET MUSIC? Demo of ASM HYDRASYNTH "A091 Suitcase" Patch


video by Microflat

"This video will demo the 49-key 4-octave ASM Hydrasynth, a remarkable new synth from Ashun Sound Machines based in Hong Kong. This premium keyboard is nothing but stunning. The polyphonic aftertouch combined with the innovative factory sounds makes it feel almost like a living thing. An organism. Tremendously inspiring to play. Nothing less. I used the arpeggiated version of the multifaceted "A091 Suitcase" patch. Your imagination only sets the bar here.

Video clips were recorded in 4K (60 fps) on a Panasonic Lumix GH5 and edited in Adobe Rush. Audio was recorded in 48 KHz 24 bit on a class compliant Solid State Logic SSL 2+ thunderbolt 3 interface straight into a 2020 iPad Pro running Cubasis 3. All audio output effects are default ASM Hydrasynth. A bit of EQ and Reverb was added in Adobe Audition."

Studio Electronics OMEGA 4 Voice - Limited Edition RED EYE - With ARP, 303, Moog, Obie Filters SN 1343

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


via this auction

"Here's a rare and super sweet SE Omega Four Voice in a limited edition Red Eye mod.

The Red Eye factory mods done at the SE factory add some wicked fast Envelopes and a very musical FUZZ overdrive. Also custom loaded are a slew of custom sound patches.

The standard Code / Omega synths come with Oberheim and Moog filters. This Code has added ARP and 303 filters on TWO of the four voices. To utilize them you simply change the status of teh synth engine from 4 voices to two voices and select the 303 or ARP filters.. Then move back to 4 voice for standard Moog / Oberheim. VERY flexible synth that can cover all the classic and modern sonic goodness.

This synth is in great working condition and cosmetics are fantastic as well. Its all in tune and plays / sounds extremely sweet. One thing to note. The FUZZ toggle switch has two settings.. both of them work but the toggle switch does not lock in on one of the two settings. The other Fuzz setting locks perfectly. Never bothered me as the one it locks into is the preferred sound of the two. Otherwise its in great condition in all regards.

These Omega Red Eyes never come up used and only a handful were ever made.. Get this rare piece of synth history at a fraction of what it sold for new."

Godwin String Concert 249

Note: Auction links are affiliate links for which the site may be compensated.
video by Simon Brown

"Made by Italian manufacturer Sisme, the Godwin String Concert 249 has 49 non-velocity sensitive keys. You can mix together the three sound sources (Cello 16' / Viola 8' / Violin 4') and process them through the bass, treble, chorus and tremolo controls. The output section comprises Attack and Sustain and Master Volume. Tuning is done with a rotary control on the rear panel, and the mono output is via a high or low-output 1/4" jack sockets. There is also an expression pedal socket (this is not sustain pedal socket though)."



via this auction

"Very rare string synth from Godwin, I think made in the 70s and very much in the Solina mould, the String Concert 249 gives the vintage analogue sound and authentic look.

Built in to a tolex case with removable lid and carry handle, which is all in excellent condition with no tears or scuffs, this is a classic analogue string machine with a 4 octave keyboard and hands-on controls for all parameters. Cello, Viola, and Violin voices are 16', 8' and 4' so each 1 octave apart and each layer has a volume slider. There are master treble and bass sliders, Attack and Release settings, and master volume, as well as the unique and dreamy Chorus/Tremolo section with separate sliders for each (rather than the simple on/off switch of say the Solina) giving the ability to vary the classic analogue chorus effect from subtle to swirling and thick."

Custom Racked Korg MS-20 MINI Synthesizer SN 013269

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


via this auction

"This is a customized Korg MS-20 MINI Synthesizer.

2 years ago I traded for this Korg and right away decided that despite it being like new, I hated the keyboard and the control panel graphics were so dimly printed that I couldn't read it in the dimmed lights of the studio. What to do?

Well, I ripped the keyboard and end cheeks out and threw them away. Then I built a pretty Red Oak box for it to live in and bought a brightly colored overlay for the control panel. It is now an attractive, great little desktop midi synth sans keyboard and I have no place to put it in my rig. So it needs a new home.

Please note that the patch bay is missing most of the plastic little fake hex nuts around the jacks. They are flimsy, tend to fall out, get lost or stepped on, and are purely cosmetic imitations of the 1/4" metal hex nuts that the old MS-20 had. I broke a couple cleaning the synth and so I just got rid of them.

So. If you want that great MS-20 sound with an improved appearance and without the crappy keyboard Korg slapped on it, this is your baby."

Roland MC-101 & MC-707 GROOVEBOX v1.7 Update: Scene Chain, Audio Insert Enhancements, and more


video by RolandChannel

"Dig into Version 1.7 for the Roland MC-707 and MC-101 and take your creativity to the next level with the latest GROOVEBOX features and enhancements.

Now it’s easy to create tracks in a more traditional song structure. The new Scene Chain feature can automate the groove and free your focus for other aspects of your performance. Chain Scenes sequentially and set playback length for evolving arrangements, or turn off the chain on a Scene to vamp or transition to new ideas.

The Audio Insert function is fantastic for live applications, turning the MC-101 or MC-707 into a performance mixer for routing external audio into the various effects. V1.7’s updated Audio Insert functionality now allows routing of internal tracks one into the next, creating opportunities to stack MFX for intricate, layered effects textures.

Use the upgraded Chord Designer to auto-assign chords chromatically or diatonically within a selected scale, making it easy to apply changes across all your pads.

No matter how you use it, this feature-packed update is sure to help boost your beats and expand your sound.

Alex Retsis - Megaman II Dr. Willy Stage (Polyend Tracker Scene)


video by Polyend

"'The Polyend Tracker is fantastic for producing retro video-game soundtracks (after all, most of them were crafted on similar platforms). I used the wavetable synthesis engine of the Tracker, to create and emulate the original pulse/sine waveforms of the NES; gave them subtle motion with the LFOs, and added some FX for extra sparkle. The drums are also sampled from an original NES, in order to accent the retro feeling.'
