"Just raw sound, no processing. Still needs a bit of voice calibration, though."

New Ableton Instrument Racks ES UniString Pack Univox Stringman Analog synthesizer

"get the pack now at https://www.expandingsound.gumroad.co...

The Univox Stringman is a vintage analog string synthesizer. Not many frills to these keyboards but they have a very cool sound if you're looking for a nice 70s string machine. I had a lot of fun making a jam with these instruments. The sound tends to lend itself to something akin to the Virgin Suicides soundtrack. At least thats the direction it took me. Where will it take you?"

Dub Techno Chords - Sound Design with Sequential Rev 2

video upload by Martin Stürtzer

"This video is the first part of a three part series where I explain how I design chords and sounds that I use in my Dub Techno music. This is a basic setup using the Sequential Rev2 that can be translated to any other synthesizer (hard- or software) with a similar feature-set. Effects are from the Strymon Timeline and Eventide H9. Additional use of U-HE Presswerk.

HWJ Challenge - Inspired by Nature's Wind // Sequential PRO 3 + Korg Minilogue XD

video upload by Sounds of Synth

"This weekend's Hardware Jam Challenge was to create a track inspired by one (or more) of Earth, Fire, Water, Wind.

Its true to say that one of my favourite sounds in nature is wind in the trees.

As with all things in nature, there are elements of beauty and fearsome power. Not to be ignored; not to be taken for granted; and perhaps most importantly, not be considered different to who we are!!!

Peace All"

Horizon // Access Virus TI

video upload by Sounds of Synth

"I set about creating a chilled out track using only my Access Virus TI. All the sounds you hear I have created on the Virus. This was recorded live in one take and no outboard effects or post processing were done.

For me, what makes the virus so powerful is "multi" mode - the ability to split (or layer) the synth into multiple Parts or sections and potentially assign different patches to each part. I find this invaluable when playing live and it really does make the virus shine and stand out from most other synths.

In this track I have split the keyboard into 3 parts. The bottom I have assigned an arp patch that runs continuously. The arp patterns gives the track a sense of rhythm and creates harmony with the other 2 parts The 2nd part is assigned a pluck type sound - this is sequenced by a Novation Circuit. The 3rd Part is assigned a lead type patch. During play I make use of the balance between OSC 1 and OSC 2 of the patches to create variation in sound - another great feature of this synth.

I'm happy with the result and I think showcases what this amazing synth can do and how incredible it still sounds!! You really need to listen to this track either with a pair of good headphones or with decent speakers/monitors. Laptops and phones won't do it I'm afraid :)

Can't see myself ever parting with this synth. It really is a classic masterpiece.

Hope you enjoy."

Bastl Kastle Drum (and Bass (Kinda)) Jam - Sonicware Liven XFM 8bit Warps Volca Modular Sample NTS1

video upload by ChrisLody

"My Bastl Kastle Drum arrived! What better way to try it out than with some sort of weird Drum and Bass meets Techno hybrid jam thing.

The Bastl Kastle Drum has no built in sequencer, but it turns out the Volca Modular does a pretty good job of that. I might do some sort of how to video about that in the future actually. But the basic idea is that changes in voltage at the input of the Kastle Drum's Drum Mod connection play different drum sounds so the cv output from the sequencer on the Volca can be connected to that to trigger different sounds across the keyboard. Then clock out on the Volca can also be used to re-trigger sounds when connected to the Trig In connection on the Kastle Drum too.

Elsewhere the XFM is producing a high-pass filtered hoover bass sound and a sub bass sound, the Liven 8Bit Warps is a hand played lead string sound and the Volca Sample is playing a chopped up break through the Nts1 which is acting as a delay. There is a bit of additional EQ and reverb in my DAW just to make things fit together nicely."

"A little jam-session with my DIY-Analog-Modular-System.
I used the following devices:
-Two VCO's shown at YuSynth's site
-Moog-Clone VCF and Steiner-Parker clone VCF from YuSynth's site
-The Strings-Choir-Synth
-The Bass-Synth
-The analog Groovebox-Synth
-The analog-Drum System with four DS7-clones and Hihats
-a Synth-System based on Doepfer DIY-board
-a sequencer-System i made with Flowstone and a eee-PC,
connected with two Polyend Poly midi to CV-converters

All Devices are described in my other Videos.
The Sequencer-software i will show in my next video"
