Therapsid - why to love the 6581 sid chip

video upload by Avrilcadabra

"Such an amazing filter.

Hi , I was just practicing writing on Sid Factory II (testing ASID don't think this build is live yet), which is controlling the Therapsid via an elektron TM-1 midi interface (didnt have turbo on here), Therapsid was provided by Twisted Electrons many moons ago.

I Think this sort of thing is why Sid chips in particular the 6581's are so hard to emulate or make replacements of."

Atmospheric Logic with the FKMG - Klima

video upload by NOISEBUG

"Klima from FKMG compares atmospheric sensors to an incoming control voltage to create interesting rhythms which can evolve or change based on the ambient room temperature, your altitude, air pressure and humidity.

Truly a unique way of extracting rhythms unique to your environment."

Chroma Console: Sound from Scratch #4

video upload by Hologram Electronics

"In this video, we’re using a barebones mono synth (Korg MS20) with Chroma Console. The MS20 has a mono output and no built-in effects, which makes it a great platform for demonstrating Chroma Console’s stereo effects.

We build two patches (a massive bass/lead preset, as well as a more ambient, tape-like preset). We also explore Chroma Console’s CAPTURE feature, an ephemeral looper/sustainer, which can be used to expand sonic possibilities, as well as a tool for improvisation."

A synth design masterclass by SOMA SYNTHS Vlad Kreimer.

video upload by mylarmelodies

"In this talk, Soma's Vlad Kreimer explains the unique difference behind 'organismic' synths like the Lyra-8 or Terra vs. everything else. He also explains how other synth brands could be more organismic - and why they may want to be. I believe ideas in this can inspire synth designers as well as anyone designing modular patches..."

Stacked & distorted patch on the Rev 2 // Sequential Prophet Rev 2 + Valhalla Shimmer

video upload by Lost Clouds (Tom Green Music)

"I say it all the time but maaannnn I love this synth. This one is built up as two layers with a bunch of mod wheel changes.

Layer A: Only Osc 1 is used - pulse wave, slightly reduced pulse width, muted by cutoff and with a little bit of resonance, decent amount of oscillator slop. Frequency modulation from LFO 1, cutoff modulation from LFO 2. The mod wheel on this layer opens up the filter, reduces the frequency mod, reduces resonance and reduces oscillator slop for an overall cleaner sound to contrast the (eventually) heavily distorted Layer B. There's aftertouch modulation on the LFO2 amount and cutoff though that is used sparingly in this video! The on-board effects slot is running BBD delay.

Layer B: Only Osc 1 again - initially heavily muted by filter cutoff. The mod wheel again opens up the filter, but cranks up the gain on the distortion on the on-board effect slot. It also slightly reduces the VCA Env Amount to stop it from overpowering layer A!

Overall, you get this lovely, soft sound to start - but it transforms into a rich, thick, glorious distorted patch with just the mod wheel!

There are no external effects up to 02:00. Beyond this, Valhalla is used to show the patch in different ways, all the way up to 100% reverb where you get a cool M83/Vangelis-esque pad.

Chaos Bells | Make Noise

video upload by MAKEN0ISE

"’Tis the season to synthesize some bell sounds! The Spectraphon’s new Chaos mode is actually "Chaos optional." That is, it is very possible to do a nicely tuned modulation that gives the sort of sonorous ringing we associate with bells. The amount of cross modulation and noise that we add in, via the Slide control, is entirely up to us.

WaveReX DDD-11 Expansion Card for KORG DDD-1/5 and DRM-1

video upload by Knobs & Switches

"Here is my closer look to the new WarReX Sample Expansion Card for the KORG DDD Series (DDD-1, DDD-5 & DRM-1). The title track was made only with the DDD-1, except the Solo Sound was played on a DX-21. I created a lot of Samples for the Card with Linndrum, ARP2600m, TR505, DX21, SCHMIDT and Eurorack.

https://shop.waverex.de/de/waverex-dd..."

The following is Google translated from WaveReX

"You've had to wait a long time, now it's finally here: our new WaveDDD, the ultimate PCM card for all KORG DDD drum machines.

The highlight: WaveDDD has 99 memory banks that you can switch by touch. Like the original ROM cards from KORG, each bank can hold 8 drum samples. However, the number depends on the size of the samples. The maximum memory size of a bank is 64kB. The samples are saved at the usual DDD sample rate of 25272Hz. Our editor takes care of the resampling with its excellent, built-in resampler.

What are you waiting for? Be inspired by the sound aesthetics of the KORG DDD Drum Machine and experience a musical transformation like never before. Discover the unique connection between vintage flair and modern technology and become part of a movement that is redefining the boundaries of music. Start now and bring your music to life!

MODEL 673 WAVEWRAITH

video upload by trogotronic

"673 WaveWraith is an Analog Vacuum-Tube instrument which combines the power of the Valkyrie model with the MotherMutant model's interface in a no-compromises ergonomic console. Simultaneously delicate & brute, terrifying & beautiful; time invested in Wavewraith bears dividends of ghastly key-borne transitions, lengthy Rube Goldberg cycles & endless foley ideas for the classic sci-fi horror movie of choice."
