"Following my 50 custom patches for Kaivo, I thought I gave Sumu a shot.
Sumu is even pushing further the sonic boundaries; you can create some never heard before sounds.
I have designed 50 custom patches from scratch (using the Default patch) for Madrona Labs Sumu (1.0.0b15)
You can listen to them in high resolution (24bit 96kHz PCM WAV masters, FLAC encoded) on my site (optimized for Chrome on MacOS and Windows): https://synthnyc.com/index.php/album/madrona-labs-sumu-custom-patches-bank-1/
or in low resolution on my bandcamp: https://synthnyc.bandcamp.com/album/sumu-custom-patches-bank-1
All sound demonstrations have external FX.
The first 25 patches are using factory Partials.
The last 25 patches are using PPG WaveTerm samples / transients

which I transformed into Partials using Vutu (0.9.9).
Those are my favorite PPG sounds; I have used them in my Waldorf M ‘The Blue Journey’ sound bank.

From patch 25, each patch name and sound file name has the PPG Transient name embedded in it; e.g. Sumu 34 T864 is using PPG Transient T864. I invite the audience to listen to both the PPG original sample and Sumu patch I created from it to assess the transformation (the objective is to create something new and different, not a 1:1 replica).
Starting from Patch Sumu 17 Clouds (and almost exclusively used till Patch 50), I’ve discovered an another way (compared to Default patch / most factory patches and user manual recommendations) to patch the Sumu Partials module. This opens up Sumu to ultra innovative sounds; you can use Sumu as a granular synthesizer with each grain harmonic having a different envelope / amplitude…
Sumu has become one of my all time favorite digital synthesizer along with Waldorf Iridium, Fred’s Lab Manatee and Korg modwave native.
I hope you’ll enjoy the sound bank as much as I enjoyed programming it."
