7 Minutes Alone with a 0-Coast in a Kansas City Hotel at Midnight (Make Noise Eurorack Drone)


video upload by Autotross

"The year was 2021. I'd just acquired the Make Noise 0-Coast the day before at Knobcon, and this was my first chance to get to know it. Alone, under the covers with just a few patch cables and my handy Zoom recorder, I droned.

Reverb and B-roll added later.

Jordan Rudess plays the KW-8000 & Sorcerer Modern Virtual Synthesizers from Syntronik 2


video upload by ikmultimedia

"Watch Jordan Rudess plays one of the classic synths of Syntronik 2 - the KW-8000. The KW8000 delivers the late ‘80s sound of the digital-analog hybrid Korg DW-8000. The DW-8000 used digital oscillators with short samples of 16 different waveforms, then into an analog low-pass filter. The result is a remarkably warm sounding instrument whose timbres often sound more analog than digital."

Jordan Rudess plays the Sorcerer modern virtual synthesizer from Syntronik 2


"Watch Jordan Rudess plays one of the classic synths of Syntronik 2 - the Sorcerer. The Sorcerer offers the distinctive timbres of the legendary Moog source, two fat analog oscillators through the legendary Moog 24 dB per octave transistor ladder filter. In many ways, the Source was a programmable Minimoog capable of generating massive basses and superior leads."

Roland JD-08 Multitimbral Performance Demonstration


video upload by Patchwerks

"In this video Matthew (aka EZBOT) shares a demonstration of the Roland JD-08's powerful multitimbral capabilities. On the table is the Elektron Digitakt, The Elektron Octatrack and the Roland JD-08 Boutique Synthesizer.

With its retro workflow, evocative sounds, and powerful effects, the JD-800 was a favorite for top electronic music producers through the ’90s and beyond. Combining the original JD-800 waveforms with advanced modeling techniques, the JD-08 delivers the exquisite hands-on sound design of the original, along with hugely expanded polyphony, a two-part polyphonic sequencer, and other modern updates.

Donny Benét - Le Piano (Official Music Video)


video upload by Donny Benét

This one was spotted and sent in via Soviet Space Child.

Roland TR-808 intro, followed by an ARP 2600. I'm guessing the 2600 is layered over a Yamaha CP70 mentioned below for the piano sounds? The 2600 does appear to come in for the synth solo at 3:04. The bass almost sounds synthetic. Soviet Space Child mentioned it sounds an awful lot like a MiniMoog. Whatever it is, it's fun stuff.

"It gives me great pleasure to present the first single Le Piano from my upcoming EP also titled Le Piano, coming out April 1 on Dot Dash records
After a crazy period of touring, being stuck at home for the past 2 years allowed life to slow down and gift me an extended period in my home studio.
After writing and releasing Mr Experience at the beginning of the coronavirus, I’d turned back to listening to a lot of instrumental music - Sakamoto, Hiroshi Yoshimura, Goblin, Kraftwerk, Vangelis, Yanni…to name a few.
I indulged myself and bought a vintage Yamaha CP70 electric grand piano, as well as finally setting up my studio to record live drums - something that’s been on my mind for quite some time. It seemed too soon to be writing a new album straight after Mr Experience (an album which I can’t wait to perform for you in 2022) so I spent most of the time in my little room experimenting, skilling up, and enjoying the musical process once again without the pressures of deadlines and touring.
This EP is a small taste of my world from this crazy moment in time - I hope you enjoy listening to it as much as I enjoyed creating it.

Rituals of passage, esoteric societies, initiation, are the leitmotif of this collection of sound meditations that immerse the listener in a place where time flows differently, where sound surfaces build filamentary mosaics of imperceptible passages. At each step, initiation is an ever deeper immersion into the Interiora Terrae cited by Basilio Valentino, implied in the iconology of the Mons Philosophorum. In order to welcome the light, the adept must first know the shadow, this is why the Greek μύστης were brought into the basement of the Eleusinian Temple before receiving the light of initiation: to die and resurrect. This shadows gradually thin out like a mist that evaporates, allowing us to perceive the details of an inner world that only silence can reveal.

tsoniq fusion VA for Korg Minilogue XD & Prologue w/ Alpha Juno, JP-8000, & Jupiter-4 OSC Models


videos upload by tsoniq



via tsoniq

"fusion is a user oscillator for the Korg Minilogue XD and Prologue synthesisers.

fusion provides a complete virtual-analogue synthesiser, with extensive control from the Prologue or Minilogue XD front panel.

Layer fusion with the standard VCOs to thicken sounds and add sub-oscillators, or use it standalone to provide a complete virtual-analogue emulation of the Logue VCOs but backed with a 24dB/octave filter – all controlled from the main synthesiser panel by mirroring the VCO and VCF controls along with their modulation sources.

fusion provides:

- resonant 12/24dB low-pass, high-pass and band-pass filters with key-tracking and EG and LFO modulation from the front panel

- accurate emulations of the Minilogue XD VCOs, including shape, sync, ring and cross-modulation

- dual oscillators that shadow the corresponding VCO panel controls
- a dedicated high-pass trim filter controlled via the multi-engine ‘shape’ control

- an adjustable analogue ‘age’ controlled via the multi-engine ‘shift-shape’ control

- the ability to use the VCO mixer levels to cross-fade between VCO and the paired digital oscillator
fusion uses a newly developed high-quality audio engine, using 2x oversampling and anti-aliased virtual analogue oscillators, which include:
- emulation of the Minilogue XD’s VCOs, with all three waveforms, shape modulation, sync and ring modulation
- emulation of the Alpha Juno PWM Saw waveform (“hoover” sound)
- emulation of the JP8000 super-saw and super-square oscillators
- emulation of the JP-4 sawtooth and sawtooth + sub oscillator
- pulse and pulse + sub waveforms
- phase modulation waveform generators"

Works like brand new, except that I switched the pitch and knob wheels; the pitch wheel is on the right and functions as a micro tuner (no spring), the mod wheel is on the left with the spring. This is an unfinished project, I recommend purchasing 23 chase bliss knobs ($4/each) to complete the customization. The original Wavestate knobs clash with my paint job."

"The Polyphonic Ensemble P was one of KORG's first polyphonic instruments. Instead of using divide down oscillator technology to achieve full polyphony, the PE-1000 is one of a very few paraphonic (or polyphonic) synths from the 1970s which has a seperate oscillator per key, if not the only one, which makes it sound richer since detuning between octaves is possible (that's what the Pitch Expand knob does). It offers seven preset sounds including String, Pipe Organ, Brass, Piano, Electric Piano, Harpsichord and Clavichord. An eighth preset called Control is basically a free synth mode with a selection of square or sawtooth waveforms."

"Beautiful Sigma analog synth from 1979. Very rare and in perfect condition. Everything works perfectly.

It is a monophonic synth with two oscillators. The sound is superb and the low pass and high pass filters sound very good.

The sounds are organized in presets that can be activated with the push buttons and adjusted with a potentiometer.
These presets are arranged in two sound sections (two oscillators): "SYNTHE", and "INSTRUMENT", this last section being dedicated to the imitation of existing instruments: high wood, flute, string, bassoon, etc. These two sections can be mixed via a rotary control on the left of the keyboard, but you can also mix the presets of the same section between them (note: mono output or twice mono to have each oscillator separately). This system of presets is very useful on stage but also for creating sounds: you have very quickly access to a multitude of sound combinations and you quickly find good combinations to your taste. The possibilities for creating lead synth sounds as well as electro bass are endless. The grain is there and the different presets sound warm.

An "EFFECTS" section allows you to adjust the octave (+ 1 / -1), the portamento, the after-touch (vibrato, pitch towards low or pitch towards high), vibrato (intensity, speed, delay ), multiple or single trigger (interesting to re-trigger or not the envelope), play in quarter tones, tune (or out of tune) the oscillos between them.

But the most important and the most original is the presence of the two joysticks acting on the filter and the modulations, allowing effects of an exceptional expressiveness!

The first joystick allows simultaneous control of the pitch (bass-treble), vibrato and a random dose on the oscillator frequency, and the other allows to control the high-pass and low-pass filters simultaneously. You can play for hours with these joysticks on just 3 notes.

It is equipped with a headphone output, two line outputs (instrument and synth separated or mixed if you only connect to a single output), control voltage inputs and outputs (VCF, VCO FM in, Keyboard trigger out, CV out, Eg Trigger in, VCO CV in). With a MIDI to CV converter, we can therefore play with MIDI via a sequencer and control some of its functions.

There are also behind rubber covers, 14 tiny rotary potentiometers that can be operated with a thin flat screwdriver. They allow you to adjust the output currents of the CV gate, Trig ... and also to adjust in particular the amplitude of the pitch.

Finally, the keyboard is very pleasant to play."

"Jewel Bandolero captures the vintage analog sounds of the distinctive Gem Rodeo 49. This Italian synthesizer was introduced to the market by the Galanti Group in the early 1970s. It featured a 49-key keyboard and drum/rhythm machine, as well as a variety of knobs and faders to control layer volume, instrument type, accompaniment, and tempo. Our library includes synth sustains, staccatos, and “Magic Chords” dialed in from the organ, and 41 tempo-syncable drum machine loops. We recorded the instrument articulations in wide stereo and direct line in. After that, we crafted twenty evolving ambient pads from the source content to enhance versatility. Jewel Bandolero offers an exploration of a classic combo organ, complete with warm tonal colors ready to complement any genre of music.

We’ve packed the GUI with lots of great sound-shaping controls that give you the flexibility to warp the sound in many ways. You have control over Volume, Attack, Release, Transient Offset, Vibrato and Octave layering. The "Glide" control slider allows you to play legato and portamento leads. You’ll also find an adaptable LFO system, with selectable LFO shape, modulation target parameter, speed, intensity, tempo-syncing and fade-in time. You can also apply your choice of 13 lowpass, high-pass and FX filter, with assignable modulation control options, including velocity, modwheel, expression, after-touch, key position and step-sequencer table control. You can also use our customizable arpeggiator, with a built-in velocity sequencer table and control over arp direction, note timing, swing, randomization and duration."

How to turn the Arturia Buchla Easel into some Experimental Drum Machine (Sound Design Tutorial)


video upload by Jannis Le Wolff

"In this sound design tutorial I want to dive a little deeper into the sound possibilities of the Arturia Buchla Easel and turn it into some organic, experimental and sometimes a little funny drum machine. First you will see which parameters are important in order to get some different layers of drums going. Then I will also show you how you can effectively midi map some important parameters to a midi controller, so that you can create beats and patterns without having to look at the computer screen.

A polyphonic synthesizer in 1974???


video upload by AutomaticGainsay



"What if I told you that there was an instrument capable of giving the polyphonic synthesizer sounds that were sought after 1968, but historically weren't provided in a consumer sense until 1975?
Have a listen and see if you are familiar with this common instrument...

In this video, all synthesizer sounds were generated by a readily-available polyphonic instrument from 1974."
