Glistening Crystal Harmonics - Dave Smith PolyEvolver and Sequential Circuits Pro~One

video upload by Reuben Jones

"Listen to crystal harmonics glistening in the sun in a frozen wasteland of ice shards and snow.

The PolyEvolver is so great at these icy cold sounds which, although they decrease the temperature in the room, are strangely hypnotic."

Sequential Pro 3 Explorations

video uploads by David Falcon

Playlist:

1. Generator v1 // Generative Ambient // Sequential Pro 3

"Some say that it is a modular system within itself and well, it is amazing all the modulation options with the Mod matrix. I started with a generative patch and progressively added modulators to the modulators, on an Eurorack kind of way to (hopefully) make a more interesting pattern. The sequencer is on paraphonic mode with 3 independent lines on random mode, over G minor and D minor chords."

2. Opening // Sequential Pro 3, Elektron Digitakt, Guitar

This track to me sounds like the opening of a horror show or a thriller. Nearly a year since the last of these videos. Many proyects and a kid after I can sit and play again, make little pieces with no objective in particular.

3. Android Dreams // Digitakt, Pro3, Push, Minilogue xd

Pro 3 is mostly holding a chord with its sequencer moving the filter cutoff around as well as other parameters. On the Digitakt I have loaded a bass line and sparse notes from Pro 3, as well as the usual stuff. Small improvisation on a Minilogue xd off camera, and towards the end I activate the Arp Latch to continue playing. The push is controlling the Arturia Pigments on a preset that reminds me pretty much to the Binding of Isaac's soundtrack.

4. Dark Drones for darker times // Sequential Pro 3

We will never learn from the mistakes of the past, there is always a minority who will jeopardize everything we fight for every day...

5. Ambient Glitches // Digitakt + Sequential PRO 3

Love making these glitch beats to build pieces on top. The Sequential Pro 3 is so good for these genre! Also, shining lights.

6. NEW SYNTH DAY // Sequential Pro 3 + Digitakt + Pigments

"I finally took the plunge and got one of my dream synths, the Sequential Pro 3. A mono/paraphonic beast that makes every other synth I've owned look like a toy. The only complaint is that I didn't go for it much sooner.
Of course one of the first things that I had to do was to put it to work in conjunction with the Elektron Digitakt. Of course they get along great.
There are several sounds like the pluck and the sub bass that come from Arturia Pigments, the first improvised with the Digitakt chromatic keyboard, and the second sequenced. There is also a choir sound from Ableton Live sequenced from Digitakt.
The beat in Digitakt has a "hidden layer" with conditional triggers assigned to the fill button, which triggers a sub kick, as well as several extra percussive sounds.
The first of many videos with this keyboard.
Enjoy."

Creating Rhythmic Chords with Chord-Key \ Quick Tip

This is another quick-tip video, this time, about the gate input on the Chord-Key module from Impromptu. The Chord-Key is a great module for creating chords and chord progressions, and it has also a polyphonic gate input that allows you to use various gate sources to gate each note separately, and by that create unique rhythms.

Ornament 8 | Episode 01 | Patching Errors (featuring Error Instruments Cloud Busting)

video upload by Cinematic Laboratory

"Ornament-8 is an organismic sequencer that's completely, I mean totally, different from any sequencer I know. I am starting this video with zero knowledge and at some point I just gave up. So welcome to episode 01! This episode is called 'patching errors' . After failing miserably with Pulsar-23, I wanted to find out if Ornament-8 would be able to sequence Error Instruments' Cloud Busting - which has pins. It worked very well and it's been a lot of fun."

Groove Synthesis Introduces 3rd Wave Desktop Wavetable Synth Module

Press release follows.

Orinda, CA, Sept 21, 2023 — Groove Synthesis, an electronic musical instrument startup founded by music industry veterans from Sequential and Oberheim, has just introduced a desktop version of their acclaimed 3rd Wave, 24-voice, 4-part multitimbral wavetable synth.

The compact, keyboardless version has all of the power, features, ins and outs of the full keyboard and retains a nearly knob-per-function front panel, which makes it just as easy to program and use.

The 3rd Wave has 3 oscillators per voice, analog low-pass filters, a digital state-variable filter, 6-stage wave envelopes per oscillator, and an industry-first Wave Maker™ tool that allows users to create custom wavetables in a single step through its proprietary sample-to-wave technology. Each of its three oscillators can generate a classic PPG-era wavetable, a modern high-resolution wavetable, or an analog modeled waveform.

While the 3rd Wave has roots in the classic digital wavetable synths of the past, it brings the concept into the 21st century with a lush, warm sound defined by its expanded wavetables and analog filters. It boasts a Dave Rossum-designed 2140 analog low-pass filter with variable saturation and resonance compensation, and a second, SEM-style state-variable filter (low-pass, high-pass, notch, and band-pass) for additional tone-sculpting. Both can be used in series for harmonically intricate textures.

With 24-voices, the 3rd Wave can handle note-intensive performances as well as layer up to 4 parts or create 4 independent split zones — each with a completely different sound and pattern-based sequence of notes, songs, and parameters. Each part has independent panning, volume, dual effects, and a dedicated physical stereo output. Each of its 3 wavetable oscillators per part/voice has its own 6-stage, loopable wave envelope, which can create evolving soundscapes of extreme complexity.

The rest of the 3rd Wave’s sound-shaping tools include four ADSR envelopes (filter, amp, and two auxiliary) per part, four LFOs per part, and a 28-slot mod matrix per part.

The 3rd Wave Desktop Module is slated for release in November of 2023. and has a US MAP price of $3495 USD. It will be available through the Groove Synthesis network of domestic and international dealers. For more details, visit www.groovesynthesis.com.

Generate MIDI with Physics in BounceBud for iOS

via http://keybudapp.com/bouncebud

"BounceBud is a generative MIDI sequencer app with a real physics engine underneath.

- It has 4 customizable keyboards on each side. When a ball collides with a keyboard, the keyboard plays that note.

- Each keyboard also has their own MIDI outputs, so you can control multiple audio apps per keyboard.

- All keyboards share the same key/scale that you can change on the settings menu or with BrainBud.

Customise the Keyboards

You can change the octave range, velocity range and MIDI in/out channels of the keyboards on the settings menu.

You can also specify the individual notes per keyboard, so you can create arps or even play single notes.

You can shoot walls with MIDI input for introducing more generative randomness to the playground.

By assigning MIDI input channels, you can shoot walls per keyboard individually.

Control the Playground

Ball physics behavior could be changed on the settings menu.

You can toggle the collision between balls and create completely different kind of sequences.

The ball count, speed and size can be changed on the bottom toolbar.

Speed and size also has a variety option for introducing randomness that could be changed in the settings menu.

BounceBud also has colorful themes for the balls as well.

Take advantage of the AUv3 Plugin

BounceBud app runs as standalone app as well as AUv3 MIDI Plugin.

You can create AU presets and use AU parameters of the AUv3 plugin.

You can control or even automate every AU parameter of BounceBud.

You can modulate the parameters or change the patterns with PatternBud."
