video upload by Scott McAuley Sounds

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

Video Demo Reel 1 of 4 - (Patches 1 to 25)

So here it is, my first bank of 2024 and first instalment for the Groove Synthesis 3rd Wave. This custom bank took longer than I had anticipated due to the multi-timbrality features of the 3rd Wave.

Many of these Patches have 1, 2, 3 or even 4 sounds per patch, and it is always worth hitting the Play button on the sequencer to see what surprises it may bring :)

Bank contains, Leads, Basses, Strings, Arps, Splits, Binaural, Keys and the expected lush pads.

I have loved programming this synth, it is an absolute pleasure to work with! Hats off to a great synth with a fantastic UI design by the Groove Dudes.

I really hope you enjoy these new sounds, as always thanks for checking them out!

Panharmonium | by Rossum Electro-Music


video upload by Cinematic Laboratory

"Spectral processors are hot these days thanks to the Spectraphon and the mighty 296T. It's easy to skip the Rossum Panharmonium and I got many questions like 'how does it compare...' So I checked a few Chris Meyers Learning Modular videos and many I don't remember. What I heard was pure magic. It's been quite an investment again, especially with the Morpheus.

This is a 'first patch' video so there's not much explaining and too much exploring. I simply don't have the time for a deep dive during #jamuary2024 but it's a perfect opportunity to share the experience of learning by tweaking knobs. I started recording/shooting around noon today, and I am happy I can post it before midnight so it's a genuine Day 23. I may have to shoot something simple tomorrow. Or maybe I'll do the dreaded Strega multi sample that will break reality in two."

Industrial 80s - 80s inspired Novation Summit Jam

"Here is another song I came up with last night. It was inspired by 80s sounds - I’ve really liked how good the Hydrasynth is for that sort of thing, and have been loving coming up with bass sounds on the Summit. The Digitone has stayed rock solid, as ever."

Quad Multimode Filter & Morphing Scanner Bank // Atlas by Vostok Instruments


video upload by DivKid

"I really love the approach of Vostok Instruments where they’re building out modules that not only sound great, but that offer multiple channels of the same functions. In modular you often need more, and not particularly more variety, but more of the same functions to push creativity and deeper levels of patching.

Atlas is a set of 4 multimode filters (low pass, high pass, band pass), with clever normalisations, dual modulation inputs per channel, a ‘classic synths of Japan in the 80s’ inspired sound PLUS you get an interpolating scanner bank that will morph between the four filter outputs. It’s an impressive thing that’s been a delight to play and patch with.

As always I hope the video provides you patches to explore Atlas and other filters and functions in your own systems."

Update: new video from Stazma:

Mini press release follows:

"Atlas is the latest addition to our range of multi-channel modules, a fully analog, four-channel multimode filter.

The cores are a modern approach to the gain-cell-based filters included in many of the classic Japanese synths of the 80s, with a vastly improved dynamic range, a super-accurate resonance compensation circuit, and a clean self-oscillation. It is perfect for recreating iconic TR-drum sounds by pinging the filters with fast envelopes or triggers.

In addition to the four filters, the module counts with a dedicated Interpolating Scanning Circuit that morphs between all the filter outputs to create new shapes and timbres."

User Manual

Additional details via Vostok Instruments:

When we talk about the sound signature of synths, filters are probably one of the first topics appearing.

On Atlas, we dive into the sound of the 80s Japanese classics with four gain-cell-based multimode filters that keep the silky and creamy sound of those legendary machines along with some technical improvements like a better noise floor, an accurate resonance compensation, and a daisy-chain input implementation that makes some patching techniques like parallel filtering a lot easier.

The filter cores have been carefully designed and tweaked to be pristine without losing character. With three filter modes available per channel, 4p-LP, 2p-HP, and 4p-BP, Atlas can cover almost any filtering technique, from superb filter sweeps to multi-slope resonant patches.

Thanks to its precise resonance circuit, each core creates a clean sine wave when self-oscillating. Excite the inputs with fast trigger or gate signals, and you will get TR-like drum sounds, from deep kickdrums to nice toms and congas.

In addition, the module counts with a CV-controlled Interpolating Scanner circuit that morphs softly between each filter output, creating new shapes and timbres as it fades between the channels.

Features
Four analog multimode, gain-cell-based VCF circuits.
Three modes per channel: 4p-LP, 2p-HP, and 4p-BP.
Resonance compensation circuit.
Daisy-chained audio and Freq inputs.
Secondary CV input, selectable between Frequency or Resonance.
CV-controlled Interpolating Scanner circuit.

ONO-SENDAI prototype vs PO-32. Preorders ready


video upload by SPHERICAL SOUND SOCIETY

"ONO-SENDAI. Generative Groove box. [Preorder 15% discount]

Get it here:
https://www.etsy.com/es/listing/16498...

[This is a preorder offer with 15% discount over final price. Units will ship at 7-15 of feb 2024. Final look could be slighly different from the photo but quite, quite similar, changing the silkscreens and some details]

The Ono-Sendai is a synthesizer that takes the concept of the MicroFreak but utilizes the 54 modes from Braids instead of Plaits modes. This allows you to play it chromatically with a MIDI keyboard.

It transforms into a customizable drum machine that can be played in real-time using the Braids oscillators. Additionally, We have incorporated a sequencer, 2 LFOs and 2 Envelopes, significantly expanding the capabilities beyond what Braids could achieve, turning it into a complete drum machine/groove box and synthesizer all in one.

We have migrated the code from the original STM32 microcontroller to the more powerful RP2040, providing ample RAM and CPU resources to implement various features. Now, it includes an OLED screen and numerous extras. The firmware is in an 1.0 state and will keep offering free updates from the users.

ONO-SENDAI is portable synthesizer that is powered via USB C type cable and therefore can be powered via a Power Bank.

It comes comes in 3 flavors:

-As a fully assembled unit
-As a full kit that the user has to build
-As a prepolulated PCB + Programmed microcontroller for advanced builders.
The user has to source the rest of the components and build the synth.

There´s a user guide that explains every function, knob and button that you will download here. And there´s also will be a build guide for the builders here. Both are being written now"

Forms - Novation Circuit Tracks Pack by Techtronix


video upload by Isotonik Studios

"Forms, takes a light from a different direction. Music that makes you want to move.

Garage music originated with it mainly being played on pirate radio, It was simply undeniable on dance floors because of its swing and syncopation.
It had a tendancy to naturally make people dance, and as an underground genre, it soon took its form and became massive in the 90's with artists like DJ EZ and the Artful Dodger.

Some of the best Garage music was on white label, Lost in time, these old tapes and records are hard to find.
Forms brings a big slice of this back to the Novation Circuit Tracks, right back to that innocent time when people were passionate about making good music, and bringing it to the masses. Forms leaves you wanting nothing more than time to create.

With a massive selection of 128 patches, 16 inspiring sessions and a percectly suited drum kit for Garage music

FORMS BONUS PERFOMANCE PADS

There are four perfomance pads on each page of project pages at the bottom

These go from green to red.
They are different speed kick drum build ups.
so the fist is a crash and kick. for a drop.
the second one is a 1/4 kick drum.
the next is a faster one, 1/8 twice the speed
and finally the last one is 16ths.
This gives you a way of switching between sesions with a little transition when playing live. It will also stay in sync with your swing and tempo from the project you are switching from. These are Called Performance Pads. and are exclusive to this pack!

To date there hasn't been a Garage pack on the Novation Circuit eco system. Forms not only puts that to bed, but lays a stamp on the 2 step Garage genre,
which is clearly here to stay

Korg PS-3300 + Antonus Step Brother live jam demo improvisation "Last Ride Over The Course of Time"


video upload by wutierson

"Here is the first video of a series with the wonderfully enormous (in all aspects) Korg PS.3300 playing with Antonus instruments. This Korg PS3300 was in Antonus studio and workshop during some months for study, works and of course for enjoy it playing.

This first video is an improvisation using Korg PS-3300 with the Antonus Step Brother sequencer. One wonderful thing is that the Korg PS-3300 can use volt/oct scale using the pitch input and adjusting the level for correct scale making possible to use the Quantized outputs of the Step Brother. This allows to make two different sequences with the Step Brother with the 8/2 mode and play 2 parts of the 3300 (1 and 3) The part 2 is mostly used for melody and chords.

The Antonus Step Brother have many useful parts for creative patching, for interact with some parts of the 3300 and with the Step Brother itself to bring more life, movement and complexity in real time sequences and the main sound. Is is a perfect partner for such instrument, unique for being omniphonic, with patching possibilities, making unique sounds and techniques for this mixture of concepts.

The demo is recorded in one take, no multitrack was used in this recording. Only Korg PS-3300 + Antonus Step Brother + Korg SDD1200 dual delay unit.

The sound of this instruments is very very particular like no other synthesizer, it has the magic of the early synthesizers with all the beauty, the weird, the idealism, the raw, the musical and many other other adjectives proper of this kind of instruments. Is a real travel to the past while examining, studying and playing this instrument.

Thanks to Ernesto Romeo from La Siesta del Fauno studio laboratory in Buenos Aires for bring us for time this awesome piece of electronic music history.

Korg modwave – Modscapes soundset


video upload by Soundsauca

"Welcome to Soundsauca's Korg modwave demonstration. 64 synth performances, showcasing some of modwave's eclectic capabilities.

The soundset includes 64 performances (from this demo), along with another 85 extra. Many are dual layer/split. 104 programs (used in the performances) are also available for use separately.

The demo was created with the modwave native plugin version. Sounds were played, sequenced, arranged & recorded in Logic Pro X @ 44.1 kHz. A limiter was used on the master, no external effects.

Some sounds are overdubbed to allow for the demo to flow. Some fades/cuts are used for the same reason. Many modulation assignments are used, along with the Kaoss pad. Aftertouch is used rarely as the synth doesn't feature it. Hope that’s cool:)
