Sequential Take 5, Moog Grandmother + Mother-32 Live

video upload by hvegel

"a massive analog patch from these three, the Take 5, Grandmother and Mother-32. no external FX, apart from those onboard the synths were used. feels like this could've been a lost cue from Villeneuve's 'Arrival'. #synthesizer #composer #sequentialcircuits #moog"

Ekzil - "Chasing illusions" : Circuit Track / Volca sample / Volca bass

video upload by Geoffroy AULAGNER

"Today I wanted to test a completely new setup, more compact. I said goodbye to my favorite midi controller. I decided to use uniquely the synths performance capability.
I took out the Volca Sample 2 that I never managed to use .. until now 😁
The "step jump" function of the volca sample is really interesting in a live context ! it allows you to make original transitions..

Hope you like it !

Setup:
Novation Circuit Tracks: Drums, bass, chords progression
Volca sample 2: Drums
Volca Bass: main melody
Korg NTS-1: reverb, chorus, build up with the noise oscillator and outro melody (with FM oscillator)

This jam was performed and recorded live to a stereo output.
I edited the mix in Ableton, by adding EQ and compression."

Vangelis Blade Runner End Titles #Synthwave edition #cs80 #jupiter8 #minimoog #rhodes #vangelis

video upload by Jose's Vintage Keys

"I didn't seem to make sense to make a exact copy of this great song - so I decided to give it a Synthwave feel and have a go at it with almost all synths I own. And inspired by a request by @educouchez6709 I have added some Rhodes solo's"

Groove Synthesis - 3rd Wave - Is Not Just a new PPG!

video upload by Scott McAuley Sounds

"Patches will be available at https://www.orano.co.uk/shop or http://www.synthsounds.co.uk

it is so much more than just a new take on the PPG, The 3rd wave not only can replicate the vintage PPG sound, but can also sound seriously fat, warm, smooth, not brittle, and the frequency balance from low to highs is the best I have heard in any synth to date!

It is no surprise this synth is winning so many awards, it plays, sounds and programs like a dream! from delicate tones to fat growling basses, it can really do them all! I tip my hat to the @GrooveSynthesis team for this remarkable synth!

Not only that, but it is 4 synths in one box, each with dedicated sequencer, effects and audio outputs per synth.

This is one serious amount of synth for the buck, yes it sounds expensive, but the groove guys have gone all out with this and spared the user no expense! the luxury of 24 voices, each with Dave Rossum designed 2140 analog low-pass filters per voice, SEM Styled Modelled Filter that runs in series to further sculpt your sound pallets."

Synclavier Regen - First 5 Custom Timbres by Marc Barnes

"So the lovely people at Synclavier DIgital have kindly let me borrow a demo unit of their fantastic Synclavier Regen. I've now had a good few hours with it so here are my first 5 single timbre presets. So far I have only been using the Subtractive, Additive and FM engines. I will explore the other engines in due course and and put together some sessions. (multi-layer performances)

Although I found it slightly confusing at the start the interface is actually very logical and easy to get around. I'm really looking forward to delving deeper into this excellent synth.

Hope you enjoy folks!"

Deutsches Museum: Der erste Moog-Synthesizer in Deutschland

video upload by redaktion42

"Robert Moog gehört ein Denkmal gesetzt. Für mich hat er mit seinen Erfindungen die Musikwelt revolutioniert. Bands wie meine Liebslingsband Emerson, Lake and Palmer wären ohne Robert Moog und seinem Moog-Synthi nie möglich gewesen.
Ich kam neben ELP auch über Wendy Carlos zum Moog und träumte immer davon so ein Wunderwerk an Elektronik zu besitzen. Nun, heute habe ich die Smartphone-App vom Moog, die ähnliches leistet, aber natürlich nicht an die Faszination des Moog herankommt. Im Deutschen Museum München traf ich auf den ersten Moog, der in Deutschland gespielt wurde. Er wurde von Eberhard Schoener gestiftet."

Googlish:

"Robert Moog deserves a monument. For me, he revolutionized the music world with his inventions. Bands like my favorite band Emerson, Lake and Palmer would never have been possible without Robert Moog and his Moog synthesizer.
In addition to ELP, I also came to Moog through Wendy Carlos and always dreamed of owning such a marvel of electronics. Well, today I have the Moog smartphone app, which does something similar, but of course doesn't come close to the fascination of the Moog. In the German Museum in Munich I came across the first Moog to be played in Germany. It was donated by Eberhard Schoener."

Soundart Chameleon - rare rackmount synthesizer, vocoder, fx processor

Note: Auction links are affiliate links for which the site may be compensated.

via this auction

Note auction links are affiliate links. See the site's privacy policy for more info.

This appears to be the first post to feature pics of the Soundart Chameleon. It was mentioned a couple of times in posts featuring Paula Maddox of Modal Electronics and vacaloco's Gorf development in 2008. See the Soundart label for more. Note there is also an unrelated Chameleon branded self contained modular synth.

From the auction:

"A rare synth/vocoder/fx processor in very good condition. There is a little rack rash and the top has some scratches (see pictures for details). It works perfectly and sounds awesome. The Soundart Chameleon is an amazing addition to your studio. It can host a legendary vocoder called Infiltrator (check out what gearspace says about Infiltrator) and some awesome synths---the best one being Austrailis. Peruse the website descriptions and sound examples for all the different skins you can load onto it, along with downloads of all the sysex files:

chameleon.synth.net/

To change skins, just hold SHIFT while you turn it on. It will display that it is waiting for the next skin. Then, use Bome SendSX to send it the sysex file of the next skin. You can find a link to SendSX here."

OMBOT Phantom Cell Summoner Experimental Synthesizer

You can find a demo previously posted here.

"This is a super cool handmade experimental noise synth, and the craftsmanship really shows. I've been pining for one for a while but in the end it just isn't the best fit for the music I make, so I'm moving it on. It's hand-built using a wooden craft box and epoxy resin with interesting pulsating LED lighting and feedback/filter controls. It's also got a mode switch that alters elements of the overall sound, and the touch-sensitive metal contacts allow you to essentially play it like an instrument, as the sound changes and responds to your touch.

Here's how the builder describes it:

'Explore the sonic ether with this experimental sound machine this Phantom Cell. Channel all metaphysical frequencies with the Phantom Summoner. Touch the metal contacts to become part of the cosmic circuit. Special components are sensors to extra dimensions of the unseen and unheard. Enjoy making new and glorious sounds as you experience new frequencies and vibrations. Has built in echo/reverb circuit that can go from a metallic reverb sound to total noise chaos. There is a feed back knob for infinite feedback to a lowpass filter. I added a switch that changes the output mode turning on and of additional circuits.'"

296T mixed outputs and Selective FM | Buchla/Tiptop 200T Series | Episode 8

video upload by Cinematic Laboratory

"I had a second long session with the 296T after my first patch video. This video tries to justify why the 296T could be worth the big footprint so it can be more than 'just a big equalizer'. This always depends on the type of music you'd like to make on a modular, and for many, a multimode filter would be more than enough. The 296T is like a surgical audio tool, doubling as an EQ or filter. In this video, I'll use the brutal Manis Iteritas as a source and use both the attennuated & program outputs to sculpt something new from it. It's a very rich voice with artifacts and noise because of the 6-operator sawtooth algorithms and it does not have many sweetspots outside it's heavy industry character. The 296T is an ideal tool to help you tame it for different applications and sounds, even ambient.
Also, there's true magic in the technique of 'selective FM', where you can use indivdual band outputs to 'FM' your VCO. It's a trick I've learned with the MakeNoise FxDf fixed filter. The 296T can take it to another level.

I wish you a great New Years Eve and I am looking forward seeing you in 2024. Happy patching!"

Polyphonic Dreams: PERfourMER MKII, meloDICER and MEX3

video upload by vermonagear

"The PERfourMER MKII is sequenced by a meloDICER directly via MIDI through the MEX3 module. With MEX3 the meloDICER can create sequences with up to three voices.

The Floatingpoints Instruments (formerly @ERMErfindungsbuero) Multiclock is used as a MIDI controller for the additional REST parameters of voices two and three as well as for controlling velocity and ACCENT probability.

The @OTOMACHINES BIM is the only effect used in this performance.

Enjoy the show!
