Yamaha rm1x and Korg Microsampler live jam: Running

video upload by rm1xapm"

"To create the melody I sampled the very old piano in our living room and played it on the KORG Microsampler, spiced up with some reverb and sequenced the whole thing with my favorite Yamaha rm1x. As usual, the other voices are delivered by rm1x itself.

Track title: Running"

Sequential Take 5 Review & Demo - GEOSynths

video upload by GEOSynths

"I wasn't sure about the Sequential Take 5 when it was first announced as I already have a number of their Synths, so a 'Cut Down' version wouldn't really add anything...HOW WRONG WAS I...!

The Take 5 is probably the best (Modern) PolySynth that Sequential have made...The combination of Analog VCO/VCF and the Mod Matrix is new for them and has allowed me to make Sounds that have blown me away...

I don't go into everything, but demonstrate with some simple Sound Design many of the main function you will use. I've also included some of my thoughts and opinions and I think this will slide off the shelves!"

video upload by SMV Producer

Sequential Pro 3 /// Valhalla Supermassive /// Ambient Sci Fi Jam

video upload by Voltage Controlled

"For this jam I recorded the first track into Ableton using the Pro 3 on paraphonic mode then improvised over it using a simple sine wave patch. Both sounds went through a separate reverb/delay which is the incredible sounding Valhalla Supermassive which can be downloaded free of charge from the link below."

"It's loud! It's brash! It's digital! It's the edgy sound of Yamaha's 6-op FM synths, now perfectly emulated by chipsynth OPS7 in a convenient plugin format!

Let it take over your tracks as it took over the airwaves with a storm in 1983. Open the flood gates to a deluge of crisp bass sounds, crystalline bells, soothing electric pianos, and sharp rhythmic clavichords.

You will unleash vast FM landscapes in mere seconds, thanks to the dual-layer system seen only in the most expensive FM keyboards - the Yamaha DX1 and DX5 - giving your music a big, full, lush studio sound!

In addition to a full set of effects, we've given chipsynth OPS7 a game-changing dynamic patch editing system, making FM patch creation easier than ever and removing any need for cumbersome algorithm diagrams.

But perhaps you want to load-in one of the thousands of available original Yamaha DX series 6-op patch banks instead?

We've got you covered, with full SysEx bank file support and full hardware SysEx interfacing.

CHIPSYNTH OPS7
In terms of emulation, Plogue goes all-in: by exactly matching the digitally captured output of the original EGS and OPS chips, we've recreated every nugget of sound from the original keyboard.

This includes exact envelope stepping patterns that vary note-to-note, every facet of the convoluted pitch calculation, and absolutely identical operator math for each algorithm down to the bit.

The analog side of the original keyboards and modules is also recreated with lavish attention to detail: you want the unique crunchiness of the original DAC?

We got it down to its insane compander and the full analog filtering section.

Guaranteed 100% free of any samples!"

Orac's Krell - demo of a new way to use Orac

video upload by TheTechnobear

"Over the last few months Ive been collaborating with Electra One.

They have recently made their firmware open source, and I wanted to write a custom firmware for Orac to allow a new way to interact with Orac running on any platform.

This video is of the patch I made for their booth at this years Superbooth (2021) , showing Orac running on a Terminal Tedium.

This firmware will also work on the rPI, Organelle and other Orac platforms.

The patch is a generative patch based on the 'Krell Patch', which uses continually looping envelopes that change randomly over time.
these envelopes are used for many aspects, including note generator, amplitude and also also various parameters affecting timbre and filtering.

This was implemented by creating new Orac modules that contained these new 'krell' envelopes.

a fun patch to just let do its own thing, and tweak as you go along.

(I also had the patch running on the Organelle-M at Superbooth)"

TRAX RS-1 Rota-Synth

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

via this auction

The Rota Synth RS-1 is a desktop 8-step analogue sequencer, coupled with a monophonic, true analogue synthesizer. It does not use a keyboard like a conventional synth, but instead generates musical sequences and sound effects that you program in real time.

Made in 2010 by TRAX (Trax Controls), the same manufacturer of the famous Retro Wave R-1.

Super rare synth, in excellent condition for its age, the only one for sale in the world !
Use it to create rapidly repeating musical phrases, grungy riffs, retro computer game effects, rolling basslines, off-the-wall rhythmic patterns, dub sirens, weird sci-fi effects, plus sounds yet undiscovered....

No clumsy menus to wade through - just switch on and go. You get full, hands-on control via knobs and switches.

Ephemere | Dual CV Recorder | by Patching Panda

video upload by Cinematic Laboratory

"éphémère (french for 'short-lifespan') is a dual channel CV recorder that can record, sync, splice and playback two independent modulation sources. It supports unipolar and bipolar ranges, but also audio rate sources. It can record up to 4 secs of audio in 44,1K if you wish allowing access to some 'musique concrete' applications. Finally, the outgoing CV can be quantized to any (user)scale, providing a great musical CV source."

"Four different granular layers for a multi-timbral unique polyphonic synth.
P.s.
I wasn't experimenting with any new piano techniques with my left hand right at the beginning: it's just that I find creative ways not to cover the camera view while shooting."
