Testing a new trigger sequencer module - Midiverse - TV

video upload by Midiverse - TV

"What's up everybody? Welcome to Midiverse - TV! In an effort to expand our line up of hands on drum controller modules, we've been working on an eight step trigger sequencer. In this video we test out the module (three of them to be exact), trigger some additional drums/cymbals via the MVM005 Quad Arcade Button Module, and add some visual content via the LZX video synthesizer.

Assembled Modules and DIY kits for the Trigger Sequencer are coming soon, Arcade Button Modules are available now.

Frequency Central feat: Asteroids - exorcise your arcade stylee!

video upload by Frequency Central

"Here’s a quick demo showcasing a few uses for Asteroids.

The Asteroids on the left is allowing audio from Radio Music to pass when button #1 is pressed. Button #2 changes the station of Radio music when pressed.

The Asteroids on the right button #1 is being used to trigger Cosmic Background which is producing electronic percussion sounds. Button #2 is being used to extend Cosmic Background’s release time by applying 5V to it’s release CV input.

The audio in Radio Music is actually snippets from previously uploaded Frequency Central YouTube videos – can you spot which ones? State 700 is just being used as a mixer.

The Gnatophilidae Oxfordii is just there to intrigue. If you’ve read this far please comment 'When will that whacky Gnat module be available please please please?'"

Oberheim OB-X8 Videos by Adam Borseti

video uploads by Adam Borseti

The above playlist features a handful of Oberheim OB-X8 videos by Adam Borseti. Note the first few videos feature the custom OB-Xa style overlay (link below), followed by the stock OB-X style panel.

Playlist:

1. First Day of Summer! (Oberheim OB-X8)

Here's a fun little spur-of-the-moment jam over a song I've been working on. This is the direction I want the song to go in, but I'm probably going to re-record some of it. We'll see. You like the 80s style OB-Xa/OB-8 blue pin stripes for the OB-X8? I do to! They're made of semi-rigid plastic and can be applied or removed in less than 2 minutes with no adhesive. It's really cool to be able to switch between the late 70s OB-X look and the super-1980s OB-Xa and OB-8 look.

2. Random Improv Jam

3. Going places in DOUBLE MODE

Using the SEM filters in lowpass for the bottom layer and a delicious Notch filter on the upper layer pad.

4. OB-X8 - Left Hand Bass Exercises

Laying down bass lines thick and hard with lefty, following the lead of whatever chord righty is holding down. This was all improvised so forgive any chord meandering and weird transitions, mistakes and the like. Is what it is.

5. "Approaching Chaos" - Oberheim OB-X8

All sounds made with the Oberheim OB-X8 run through a Zoom MS-70CDR, with the drums from my Roland TR-626. Enjoy

6. Oberheim OB-X8 - Cinematic improvisation & Double Mode patch

Consider this some filler while I'm working on my next actual song. I'm almost done!

7. "Reflections" - Oberheim OB-X8

A new original tune of mine, the first in a good long while! Less time and more stress have resulted in less creativity haha, but I'm trying over here. :)

8. The Camera Eye - Oberheim OB-X8

I mean, it's THAT sound......

Sequential Prophet 5/10: a Musical Exploration Part 2

video upload by Synth Universe

"Part 2 continues my musical exploration of sounds and timbres on this classic analog synth using custom-created patches. All the sounds you hear in this video were created by me on the Prophet 10 and include pads, keys, bass, poly synth, leads, sines, chimes, strings and FX.

I wanted to retain the raw sound, so in the making of this video no chorus, modulation or thickening effects were used (software or hardware). Note that the Prophet 5/10 has no internal effects. The only effects used were reverb (mainly the Valhalla Vintage Verb plugin) or delay (Logic native delay plugin). No EQ was used to enhance either the low end or the high end.

The Prophet 5/10 has a single mono audio output, so to create a stereo image I used old-school layering in my DAW. When I recorded each audio take, I also captured MIDI data and used this to record new tracks of the original take. Using the Vintage knob on the Prophet set at 3 means that each MIDI take has subtle differences in pitch, envelopes and filter. Panning and slight detuning of the tracks creates, to my ears, a nice rich stereo image and retains the character of the sound.

*If you own a Prophet 5 rev 4 or Prophet 10, all the sounds featured in this video are now available to purchase as part of the Synth Universe Prophet 5/10 rev 4 Soundbank. Follow the link below where you can also watch video demos of all 80 patches.

"You’ve seen GoldZilla on the internet before haven’t you? That wasn’t 'a' Black & Gold SH-101, that was THE Black & Gold SH-101: the one and ONLY in the entire known universe

Yes, GoldZilla is THE 1 of 1 Custom Black & Gold 1982 Roland SH-101 by GhostInMPC (Japan).

I love this synth with all my heart, which is why the price is what it is. It’s cold, dead hands otherwise ;)

"This one is in beautiful cosmetic condition and working 100%. It is ready to be played and needs nothing! It is probably the nicest one here on Reverb and has likely had more restoration than the others listed here. The price will be higher than most because of this. These might be limited in control, but they do sound great. Especially the filters! Please mail with any questions. The shipping price listed is just an estimate. If it is less, you will be refunded. This is listed as USA sale, but I will consider shipping to other countries. Not sold as-is!"

Bad Gear - Why would anyone want this???

video upload by AudioPilz

"Welcome to Bad Gear, the show about the world's most hated audio tools. Today we are going to talk about Roland TR-06 . Does it even make sense to release a digital drum machine based on the not so iconic Roland TR-606 ? Was the analog Behringer RD-6 first this time? Did we need another Roland Boutique reissue of a a vintage drum machine and 80s classic like the tr606 and why would anyone want this ? Do the additional sounds taken from other machines like the Roland TR-808 and Roland TR-909 make a difference?"

Thinking about the Polyend Play+ // Are its synths worth the extra cost?

video upload by Starsky Carr

"The Polyend Play+ has got Synths, Stereo and Audio over USB... but if that's not your bag could you save some cash by buying or sticking with the original ? What do the synths do? how do they work? what do they sound like? are they easy to use?

All answered in here... hopefully!

I look at the synth voices in some depth (not too much I hope) to demo what you can get from them and their overall tone, usefulness and playability. As a synth head I have to say I like them and think they're a worthy addition to Team Play."

Korg Wavestate - Jean-Michel Jarre Tribute (40 Performances)

video upload by LFOstore

"The music of the legendary composer and performer, Jean-Michel Jarre, opened a door into a new world of electronic music back in 1976 with the release of 'Oxygene' album, which went on to sell over 18 million copies worldwide. His music has inspired generations of people around the world, allowing to travel into a new dimension of sensations and states. He is one of the most successful musicians in history, and holds the world record for the monumental 3.5 million spectators to his Moscow concert in 1997.

Inspired by the maestro’s work, LFO Store team’s renowned sound designer, Otto K. Schwarz, has prepared for you a wonderful soundbank with 40 presets on board. One of the greatest synthesizers of our time, Korg Wavestate, is a great tool both to emulate the sounds of iconic synthesizers of the past, as well as create multi-layered sounds that allow to stretch your imagination into the future. We did not strive to completely repeat the sounds created by the Master, but looked into the same direction, using our experience and modern vision.

These presets are from different categories: ARPs, leads, FXes, synths, strings, brasses, and even more! They are royalty-free and suitable for both studio work and live performances. The presets are modwheel - assigned, which allows you to modulate the sounds to the needs of your own musical works.

We wish you a wonderful journey and inspiration in creating world-class musical compositions!"

GForce Software AXXESS Synth Review - Sonic LAB

video upload by sonicstate

"GForce Software's latest release - based on the lowly but highly regarded mono synth the Arp Axxe, which had 1 oscillator, one filter, one LFO and 1 ADSR.

The Axxess is somewhat enhanced. Firstly you get 6 voice polyphony, FX in the form of distortion, delay and reverb, plus an additional sub oscillator and of course the GForce XMOD additions - essentially a dedicated X-LFO and X-ENV for pretty much each parameter. This expands the capabilities significantly."
