GForce Oddity3 - Sound Bank '79

video upload by Polydata

"Drawing from the earliest days of polyphonic synthesizers, Sound Bank ‘79 for the GForce Oddity 3 finds its inspiration in synthesizer music found in documentaries and library music from the late 70’s and early 80’s.

A bank comprised of 30 patches for instant inspiration. The goal was to highlight the raw analog tone and organic behavior of this instrument, primarily working within the constraints of the original ARP Odyssey, adding polyphony where it enhanced the patch. It would be wrong to view this as another basic vintage mono synth - this instrument has a feature set that can create unique and beautiful tones. With the updated enhancements and options like the 3 historic filter revisions, the possibilities are vast and the tone is excellent.

After payment, you will receive the file in your email within 24 hours. Recorded with no external processing - what you hear is all from the plug-in.

How Bata Make's Electronic Music

video upload by Bata

"Going over my whole setup briefly. This is probably the most detailed studio tour/setup description I'll do unless I start a patreon or something and need extra videos. I don't mention a lot of the random gear like outboard compressors, EQs, etc just the things I'm most commonly using in my videos. If you have questions feel free to ask in the comments but I won't be writing very long replies so try to keep the questions simple."

A great opportunity to dust off mine, load some custom samples and play with them in the park. What you hear is just the Microfreak and added reverb (Rymdigare). Enjoy."

Elektron Machinedrum UW electro jam BRR sinewaves

"Quick electro jam with the MD UWmkII. Spring reverb is from a vintage roland mixer which is also controlling the levels(that's why I couldn't hear the RY machine at one part). Love the sound of the sinewave generator with the BRR effect on - screen masked in the edit for clarity."

2023/06 - Norns Dub

video upload by Stereoping

"Summer tunes warmup. The Monome Norns running the beautiful 'RAINDROPS' script is sent through a DIY-PCB Juno-6 Chorus with Stereo-mod. The Norns is intentionally not temposynced and accompanied by a modded Alesis HR-16 which makes funny things when one of the Voice Eproms is removed. The HR-16's audio runs through a Yamaha CS-5 lowpass into a DIY Axoloti-based effects unit with lots of knobs for realtime tweaking Reverb/Delay and a little granulizer. The HR-16's midiclock drives a Volca Drum with Midi-Out-mod. The Volca's sequencer's Midinotes (incl. probablitiy and ratchetings) are converted by a little DIY Midi-box into the suitable notes for the Solin8 (starting at 3:10), a cheap 8bit-glitch teensy-based WAV-Drumsounds-Player with downsampling faders.

YAMAHA CS60 - COMPILATION VIDEO

video upload by Vintage Audio Institute Italia

"The Italian term to describe this synth would be blasonato:
Someone so noble they have a their own coat of arms.

we give you the Yamaha CS60 :
45 kilos of heavy duty Japanese build quality.
We just couldn't pass this one on although it's not typically the machine of our choice it sounds incredible.
Put on your headphones and you'll get it.
The range of sounds you get out of this synth seems frankly endless and the general interaction with an important instrument always makes us want to sell all our other machines and just keep this one instead.
We have to think about this - meanwhile it's going to a Yamaha CS-series specialised repair man for a new ribbon control and a general calibration since it's never been tuned or serviced in its 45 year old life - also kind of incredible - the build-quality is insane.
We got two drummers in this video: first songs are backed up by the elusive CRB Computer Drums (the drum section from the Computer Band 2000) and the second half of the video the rhythm unit is the EKO Ritmo 20.
Both machines have individual sound options - mute switches on the Computer Drums and volumes on the EKO Ritmo 20.

More videos with these two will go up soon so subscribe if this is your thing and follow us on Instagram for first dibs vintage gear sales and much more."
