A Conversation with Jean-Michel Jarre


video upload by Alan R. Pearlman Foundation

"On September 17th, Dina Pearlman, daughter of ARP Synthesizer inventor Alan R. Pearlman met with Jean Michel-Jarre to record opening remarks for the ARP 2600 Synthposium; followed by an interview. We've decided to release an edit of the video to commemorate the 45th anniversary of the original recording as well as over 50 years of the iconic ARP 2600, one of Jean-Michel's "pet" instruments and a go-to for his recordings even today.

The back appears to be melted.

"The bi-timbral mod makes for powerful basses and leads! This unit’s case was repaired by the previous owner. The back right corner looks rough, but the repair has held. See the last pic. Other than that there are a few scuffs and scratches. This was a workhorse, not a show pony."

Empress ZOIA Euroburo | Your Dream Synth


video upload by Sound Isles

"Exploring synth patches and the many possible sounds of the Empress Effects Euroburo as a main VCO / playable synth over MIDI. A synth showcase containing a selection of different synth patches: polyphonic pad synths, mono bass/leads, generative ambient machines, playable atmospheric drone patches.

The ZOIA Euroburo (or Zebu) is the module version of the ZOIA pedal adding 4 CV ins and 4 CV outs, 2 extra assignable performance buttons, as well as a headphone output. A dream creation station. A mosaic of sonic possibilities. On top of being a massively customizable effects unit, utility module and control device - this is a very capable synth."

Sequential Synth Tips With Evan Hodges: Scoring For Film With The OB-6, Part 2


video upload by Sequential

"Welcome back to 'Sequential Synth Tips,' where some of our favorite artists share their tips, tricks, and techniques on a Sequential synth. In this episode, we feature composer Evan Hodges demonstrating the techniques he uses to integrate the OB-6 with other instruments and sounds for a film score.

Evan Hodges is a composer for film and mixed media that holds a degree in Jazz Studies from Georgia State University. He has scored more than 50 films, including both feature films and short films, two musicals, and a full video game soundtrack. Scoring comes intuitively to Hodges. His background and training in jazz, with its highly improvisational component, allows him to adapt quickly and easily to score both simple and advanced thematic musical cues appropriate for every scene. In 2017, Hodges scored the feature, The Canadoo. He was Emmy-nominated in 2018 for the PBS documentary feature, My Dear Children.

Sketchy Labs Freak Shift Eurorack Module [Demo #1]


video upload by gstormelectro

"Audio + Video by G-Storm Electro c. 2021

Today I am auditioning the Sketchy Labs Freak Shift module.
The design is specially derived from the Bode Frequency Shifter.
There are literally sweet spots at every turn of the pots on this one.
In this video I'll briefly discuss this module and patch up some wierd sounds.
The focus is on demonstrating a range of evolving sounds of the frequency shifter.
I'll endeavor to make something more musical using the Freak Shift in a future video.
This video is not sponsored or endorsed by the Doc Sketchy.

0:00 Intro and brief discussion of patching
0:54 LFO as Mod input for phaser type sounds
1:24 Using 2 LFOs for Sine/Cosine modulation
2:55 VCO as Mod input for Frequency Shift sounds
4:48 Sum/Diff outputs for Stereo Spread
8:48 LFO modulating the AUX

Audio VCO | Pittsburgh Primary Oscillator
Modulation VCO | Cre8audio Capt'n Big-O
LFO Modulation | XAOC Batumi

Recorded direct to Tascam DR-05.
No additional effects or processing used."

G-Sonique Swede Trap Bass - VST plug-in synthesizer instrument for Trap / Hip-hop kick & bass


video upload by G-Sonique



"Made in cooperation with Swede from 808 Mafia, music producer for biggest stars Lil Wayne, Dj Khaled, Gucci Mane, Nas, Farruko, Dalex...
Made music for soundtracks like Bad Boys for Life with Will Smith, TV Show kidding with Jim Carrey, music for commercials with NBA Star Paul George and more!!"

DOWNLOAD HERE: https://www.g-sonique.com/swede-trap-...



"Swede Trap Bass is a plug-in synthesizer designed for creating heavy Trap / Hip-Hop Kicks and fat Basslines. Cooperation between G-Sonique X Swede, plug-in developer more than 14 years on the market and famous hip-hop RIAA platinum producer Swede.

Swede made music for world-class rappers and singers like Lil Wayne, DJ Khaled, Gucci Mane, Nas, Farruko, Dalex etc. his music was used in Hollywood movies / Soundtracks like Bad Boys for Life with Will Smith, etc.

Trap Bass is instrument designed to create kicks and basslines easy and fast without the need of difficult post-production and fine-tunning with additional effects, everything is included. With trap bass you can create massive kicks and basses in seconds, from classic to progressive new kind of basslines. The synthesizer combines the best of digital and analog/vintage, from warm analog filters and oscillators, to vintage style exponential envelopes coded after real hardware drum boxes. 20 kick oscillators, 8 filters, oscillator waveshaping, analog distortion circuits, parametric saturation and much more. Thanks to emulation of various vintage analog circuits/modules plug-in sounds very smooth, round and fat comparing to basic digital synths.

The synthesizer is designed for heavy Trap and Hip-Hop kick drums and basslines but it can be used in various music styles like Techno, House, Acid, Rave, Underground tekno, Hardcore, Gabber, Psytrance, Deep Drum and Bass, Bigroom, Minimal, Uk garage, Downtempo, Electro and others.

Synthrotek Atari Punk Console: Build & Demo

"It's time for some more DIY fun! The good folks at Synthrotek sent me this APC (Atari Punk Console) kit to build and review. This is a very simple circuit but it can yield some impressive 8-bit tones. I used a cookie bucket from last Holiday Season to house the unit. It really came out nice.

"Mutable Instruments Shruthi XT SVF Limited Blue Edition
nothing to add other than it sounds briliant and there are very few of these blue skin versions about, in fact ive never seen another, it really helps the programming as the legibility of the original unit is terrible.
This also comes with the rarer State Variable Filter, which is nothing short of fantastic.
This is an original Mutable not one of the new copies.
Requires a 7-12 volt wall wart which you can buy from anywhere, it naver came with it new so it will be sold as such"

Pics of the inside below.

"The power supply, spring reverb, external input and multimode VCF have all been tested to work, however currently the keyboard doesn't produce any sound when pressed for the flute and spectrum sections and the pitch is off for the preset section/sometimes no sound. I have not determined if this is due to the oscillators not working or the envelopes not working. Could be either or something else. As you can see also some sliders are damaged and are missing caps, aside from this the unit is in fairly good cosmetic condition for its age. The internal speakers have also been removed for shipping as they're terrible and weigh a lot."

Door #7: Vorfreude, schönste Freude (Anticipation is half the pleasure) - Synthmas '21


video upload by Synthfluencer

"Ho-Ho-Ho! This is Synthmas '21, the virtual calendar presenting a Christmas carol played by synthesizers - every day from 1st to 24th of December.

The song:
In 1970 the non spiritual carol was recorded for the GDR's most popular Christmas album "Bald nun ist Weihnachtszeit" (Soon it's Christmas Time) by the Rundfunk Kinderchor Leipzig (childrens choir). Each of the four verses is about lighting one advent candle until Christmas eve.

The gear:
I play this song on my Vermona Piano-Strings. The instrument was built from 1978 by "VEB Klingenthaler Harmonikawerke" and is one of the very few string machines produced in the late Eastern Bloc. It's appearance might resemble famous string machines like ARP Solina, however the features of the Piano-Strings are quite limited. There is a piano part and a strings part, but they can't be played together. Each section has 3 tone faders changing its character. I feel oddly bonded to that instrument: in my youth I was playing the piano in our music school band. At a rehearsel I failed playing my part because I was too lazy to learn my sheet. So I was degraded to playing some simple string chords - on a Vermona Piano-Strings! I was very happy to get one of these after all those years. Most prominent Vermona player was Moby before his one was sold on Reverb.com [Moby Reverb posts]

Since the Vermona Piano-Strings neither got MIDI nor CV/Gate control I play by hand.
