video upload by R. Reger

"Original piece for mostly analogue keys."

Marius Leicht - Der Prophet (live in studio)


video uploads by Marius Leicht

Playlist:

1. Marius Leicht - Der Prophet (live in studio)
This is a live performance of the piece "Der Prophet" from my recently finished debut album "Weltmaschine", coming out on 21.06.2021.
2. Maria durch ein Dornwald ging - Synth Jam
3. Klangteppich [music] - Prophet 5 and Strymon Mobius
Prophet 5 running through Strymon Mobius. First with a Bitcrusher, controlled by the Moog MP-201 pedal. Later with the Formant filter doing the robotalk.
4. Klangteppich - Marc Melià: Arpeggios #1 (Music for Prophet 08 - played on Prophet 5)
As I stumbled across this great composition by Marc Melià, I decided transcribe it and to do a vintage version with the ancestors of the machines used in the original: Prophet 5 and Roland Space Echo.

Recorded at Weltklang Tonstudio Plauen
5. Theremin and Synths with Carolina Eyck
I was a guest recently at Theremin virtuoso Carolina Eycks Theremin session. Along with a cover of Kate Bushs Babooshka we did some free improvisations.

GForce Software OB-E vs. Oberheim SEM Pro - Nachtblau


video upload by Marius Leicht

"The sound is alternating between the OB-E and the SEM-Pro. In the bottom left corner of the video the letters A and B are displaying the audio of which corresponding synth you hear, regardless of which one may be pictured in the video at a given moment. Can you guess it right?

The Oberheim Four Voice Synthesizer always fascinated me - both for its heart-melting sound and for its unusual (for todays standards) concept of having a completely distinct monophonic synthesizer module for each voice.

From time to time I take the effort to build some Four Voice type pad sounds by multitracking my Tom Oberheim SEM Pro, which is a reissue of one of those monophonic synthesizer modules the Four Voice is built of.

Of course, I was excited when I heard about the GForce Software OB-E and as soon as I got my hands on it, I was inspired to compose some music with it, resulting in this piece called "Nachtblau". To make this comparison video, I took the MIDI track of the piece, split all the notes into 8 Channels (Yes, the OB-E is not only emulating the already unobtainable Four Voice, but the even more rare and expensive 8 Voice, consisting of 8 individual SEMs) and run them through my SEM Pro one after another. Due to the nature of the unconventional architecture and my multitrack trickery, it was impossible to be reasonably precise about the matching of the sounds and realtime adjustments. So don't take this as a scientific test on the question if the OB-E can match the sound of the 8-Voice I don't even have at hand..."

Cinematic Vibrations // Synth Jam with Korg Minilogue XD, Sequential PRO 3, Roland Gaia and Virus TI


video upload by Sounds of Synth

"Hey all,

This week we have gone to the movies! This track is a nod to those massive cinematic film scores and themes. Think dramatic sounds and repeating motifs.

I haven't been inspired by a specific film but more that classic cinematic sound experience you get when you go to the cinema. Having said that the final result is a bit like John Carpenter meets Marvel Avengers!! :D

All samples were triggered live from a Novation Launchpad and the track was recorded in one take straight into Ableton Live. Nothing was added except for a bit of EQ and reverb."

TR808 Drum Emulation Added to Happy Nerding FX AID


video upload by Happy Nerding

"Unexpected new addition to the FX AID programs - TR808 drums emulation. All drum voices are enhanced with additional controls over Tune, Attack and Decay portions. Thus possible variations in drum sound are far beyond that of the original TR808. Bass Drum, Rimshot, CowBell, Claves produce standard emulation on the Left output, and a bit modified on the Right output. Both channels are in phase, so can be crossfaded/mixed for additional variations. Clap, Snare, Tom, Maracas, Cymbal and HiHat are stereo, so they can be used with extra space already in the drums itself. Trig input to be connected to the Left input. A New "Generator" section was added to the FX AID editor, which contains these TR808 drums and 'Noise Station', 'Tuner' and 'Generator' programs were moved to this folder too."

Hand Built Synth Project, New LFO

"Added a much needed LFO to the homemade rack synthesizer. One issue with making it yourself is it is hard to keep the modules small."

Moog Memorymoog Plus

via this auction

"The flagship Moog synthesizer of the original US company, circa 1984. This is the rare Memorymoog Plus. There is nothing like it for raw analogue sound; having 3 VCOs, polymod, polyglide, noise + 100 memories. Imagine the sound of 18 oscillators in Unison mode.....??? Is this the best of the bunch from the 1980s? We think so....the Oberheim OB-8 (see pix) comes a close second, however.... Many musos maintain that it still outperforms the Moog One - the flagship of today's US company. OK, it is only 6-voice poly, the keyboard has no velocity/aftertouch, and no FX on board; nevertheless, it is incredibly simplistic in operation, with no sub-menus etc to confuse the issue...with clear knobs & switches......"

"The instrument was restored in 2019 by Andy from Synthprof in the UK, including full recap. It was fully tested after restoration, both systematically and in actual studio work. The top and rear panels, sockets, buttons and displays are in perfect condition: they look great, and work impeccably. The wooden sides exhibit some scratches, mostly near their rear edge. This is a 240v unit."

How To Make FM Formant Growl Bass Sounds on Sonicware Liven XFM - Accessible Tutorial


video upload by ChrisLody ChrisLody

"I was planning a different tutorial today but after being asked if this was possible I got a bit obsessed with working it out last night so thanks to Dino Goldie for prompting me to make this video. I find pretty much all aspects of sound design interesting and I've always wondered how these FM bass sounds were synthesized so I'm glad I looked into it, the XFM is pretty good at them!

As I say in the video this is designed to be an accessible tutorial as the Liven series has attracted a few visually impaired users. Let me know if this was clear and easy to understand or I totally messed it up :)"
