Synclavier Regen INHALT Factory Patches Demo

video upload by INHALTVIDEO

"As a young guy I used to marvel at records that featured the Synclavier. It was the ultimate ephemeral instrument; both a source of confusion as to what it exactly was and a source of endless inspiration via the records that occupied my fascination. It also cost $500,000 US dollars in the mid 80s if you got a fully specced one.

Fast forward to 2023 and at the heart of my Los Angeles studio (Infinite Power Studios) is a fully loaded Synclavier PSMT tower. Both a workhorse sequencer, astounding sampler and superbly organic FM synth, it is my purest joy to work on it daily. Few instruments have moved me the way that the Synclavier has. To my ears, there's something complete and done about what it sounds and moves like.

Enter the Regen. I was invited to contribute patches to the latest venture that Cameron Jones and other former NED/Synclavier developers have created. It is an immense honor for me to be involved with such individuals who have shaped and shifted music so deeply, that I am still beside myself that it actually happened. Here is a long audio demo of some of the patches I have contributed to the new Synclavier Regen factory timbre library.

As always, no additional fx processing was used. This is pure Regen piping out of its dual XLR balanced outputs straight into Pro Tools HD."

Groove Synthesis 3rd Wave - NEW Vintage Voice Variances - Classic Analog Character

video upload by Creative Spiral

"This video gives an overview of the NEW Vintage Voice Modeling capabilities in the 3rd Wave Synth. (Firmware 1.1b and beyond) If you want to jump ahead to the A|B examples of the sound, that starts around seven minutes in.

I joined the beta team before release, and worked with Bob and Andrew over several months to curate the best implementation of vintage voice variances on the 3rd Wave. This gives the 3rd Wave similar functionality to Sequential's Vintage Knob and Arturia's Analog Accuracy controls. I'm really happy with how it turned out... sounds phenomenal and makes the hybrid analog subtractive synth engine one to be reckoned with.

The control is currently called "Circuit Drift" in the MISC menu -- by dialing up that value, you can instantly give the 3rd Wave a ton of classic 70s/80s style VCO poly character... with all the lush phasing and temporal offsets to envelopes that is found in vintage poly synths. I recommend trying values between 70-150 for a classic 80s poly synth type of character, or for acoustic ensembles, like string, brass, choir, or orchestral type of patches.

This video gives an overview of the topic of Vintage Voice Modeling, and some A|B tests to illustrate the differences. I plan on doing some more videos soon, showcasing a variety of classic analog style sounds.

"Title: 'Pensive State'

I recently bought the Fairfield Circuitry #ShallowWater pedal and this was the perfect opportunity to experiment with it. For this one I wanted to bring a dynamic element with the arpeggio on the #Mother32. While keeping some simple chords on the #ProphetRev2 passing through the pedal.

Let me know what you think about it. Do you hear the pedal's effect?

JPTR-FX Add Violence on synth and drums (no talk)

video upload by Richard DeHove

"Add Violence is a fuzz pedal but I prefer the sub-heading from JPTR-FX "Planetary Disorder Unit". With just three knobs and a switch they've managed to create a very tweak-worthy machine. At first I put an EQ in front of it but soon took it away - the pedal does a better job by itself. An EQ after might be better but I haven't got that far yet. I've only been using this for a day and was so impressed by the sound I thought I'd better record it before any of the magic evaporated.
I bought this as a pre-order a few months back and am sorry to say I'm the kind of guy who constantly messages "Are we there yet?" Sorry JPTR-FX, my excuse is I'm keen. In truth I wasn't expecting too much. I've tried a lot of overdrive, distortion and fuzz pedals and at least half of them are woeful on synth. I don't know what it is but some of them do almost nothing except add an annoying insect-like buzz. So I was overjoyed at Add Violence - it loves synths and drum machine. Even better, it's silent. My dearly beloved Dark Glass B3K overdrive fizzes and hisses like crazy, but the Add Violence is silent. And when jamming I was torn between constantly turning up the volume and being worried I was going to vibrate the cones to destruction - this thing can really amplify the low harmonics.
There's still more to explore with this pedal since you can open it open and turn it into an octave fuzz. Until then I hope you enjoy this sample of its powers. I was going to blab and blather on this video but the sound seemed to warn me off - the dirt and filth must remain pure. Instead I added a few sampled quotes just to add a little color. Other than them the sound is as you see it: raw from the DB-01 into the Add Violence and a little delay every now and then from the Boss DM-2W. With the LXR-02 I took one channel from the stereo out into the pedal, the other straight into the DAW, then centred both, so the original dry sound is still there. The on-screen waveform is from the effected channel only.
If you like this format - no talk with a few little sample enhancements - please let me know so I can do more, especially since you're one of the good and true people who've read the full description :)

SH 01 Gaia Hidden 16 Channel MIDI synth engine

video upload by O.Z. Hall

"Although the Gaia's 16 channel General MIDI synth engine is well documented, most people are simply unaware that it exists. This video explains / explores the capabilities of the General Midi synth engine within the SH-01 Gaia keyboard. This engine responds to MIDI messages on all 16 MIDI channels. This is in addition to the main Virtual Analog (VA) synth engine which is driven from the local keyboard.

Here's my previous answer to 'where are drums coming from'?
There is a General Midi sound engine in the Gaia, in addition to the Virtual Analog (VA) synth (VA is the main focus of instrument). This sound engine responds on all 16 channels, including MIDI channel 10 (the standard drum channel). The default preset on channel 10 is the drum kit you hear in the video. The Arturia Beatstep Pro is sending the MIDI note on channel 10 to create the drum patterns."

via this auction

"Big, beautiful, and divine sounds abound from this clean & crisp Moog Memorymoog!

Just off a full service and restoration from Double Heart Audio, who are not only excellent synth technicians but have a special love for the Memorymoog, specifically. No previous mods or funky repairs to undo — this was a prime example for exactly what we wanted to achieve and it came out beautifully.

The entire synth was overhauled, including a full electrolytic recap, among other preventative and restorative measures. Everything is clean, the display is 100%, all 6 voices are tuned, and it’s fully calibrated. It’s also running smoother, quieter, and a whole lot cooler thanks to the custom PSU designed and installed by DHA (and it’s about 8 lbs lighter).

The last thing anyone wants to hear when looking for the right Memorymoog for reliable studio use and collection is “all original”. Finding a good tech locally for these is challenging, expensive, and usually comes with a very long lead time. This one is ready to go."

Modular Synth and Acoustic Guitar: Emily Dickinson's Poetry Set to Music. Sing: Natalie (Synth V)

video upload by the machine in the botanical garden

"In this video, electronic and acoustic fusion. I explore the sonic possibilities of my eurorack modular synthesizer, using Erica Synths' Graphic VCO modules and the Ikarie analog filter module from Bastl Instruments. To create melodic patterns, I employed the essential Behringer 182 sequencer module from their 100 series. Along with my Martin acoustic guitar, we set music to Emily Dickinson's 'A cloud withdrew from the sky', with the vocals performed by Natalie using the Synthesizer V software. I hope you enjoy this unique blend of analog and digital sounds, and let me know what you think in the comments!"

SOMA Synths Terra - First Look at the Production Unit & Factory Tour

video upload by sonicstate

"We were invited to visit Soma Sound Machines at their Warsaw factory and while we were there were shown the pre production model of the Terra - the unique and very sensitive instrument . Terra features twelve extremely sensitive nodes (cant think of what else to call them!) for playing pitches, plus five for modifying the timbre, there are also 7 modifier knobs which globally effect the sound with two being dependent on the algorithm used.

Despite the wooden case, Terra is a digital sound source and has multiple models which are played rather like instruments, each model has 64 variations. As usual, its a rather off the wall concept, but thats what makes Soma the way it is. In practice, its incredibly sensitive and flexible - reminds us of the Eagan Matrix instruments found in the Haken Continuum or the Osmose.

The Terra will be in production very soon and making its way into the stores."

VISIT: SOMA Sound Machines Factory in Warsaw

"A couple of weeks back we were invited to visit the Soma Sound Machines factory in Warsaw, Poland. As well as a look at the first production models of the expressive Terra instrument, we got a look around their place.
PCBs and components are delivered here, the Through Hole hand soldered components are put onto the boards, any SMD (surface mount design) parts are sent off to the machine, units are tested put into the cases and shipped to distributors and customers. Lyra 8 , Kosmos, Pulsar-23 and Ether are made here and pretty soon the new Terra will be too.

Its actually a pretty cottage style industry, surprisingly small but also very efficient."
