ESK - Sequencer + Seiko DS-250 + DS-310


video upload by Metunar

Follow-up to this post.

"Testing the Seiko DS-250 + DS-310 digital additiv synthesizer with a sequencer.
The Elektron Digitone is only for sequencing and effects.
I didn’t change the spectrum or envelope parameters live, because it makes digital noises.
By the way, the Midi of the Seiko DS-250 is super strange. Midi input is the connector labeled „Midi Thru“. Why did they do that?

Soniccouture Releases Kora: 21 String African Harp For Kontakt Player NKS


Andre Louis: Kora Improv With MIDI PLayer video upload by Soniccouture

"Andre Louis improvises with the built in 'kumbengo' MIDI backing generator in Soniccouture's Kora VI."



via Soniccouture

A beautiful & fascinating African instrument, the Kora is hard to classify. With 21 strings and a cow-hide resonator, it's a type of bridge harp, but with some lute or guitar DNA in the mix.

The kora is made from a gourd, which is cut in half and covered with cow hide. This forms the resonator of the instrument. There are 21 strings, suspended by a double notched bridge - 10 on one side, 11 on the other. This is typical of a double harp and it is classified as such. However, because the strings originate from a 'neck' and cross a bridge into a resonator, this also makes it a lute.

Soniccouture’s VST version is incredibly playable and versatile, featuring a MIDI pattern player for authentic accompaniment.

Behringer Kobol Expander Modular Patches Sound Demo. No Talk


video upload by Anton Anru

Follow-up to Behringer Kobol Expander Classic Patches Sound Demo. No Talk

"«Explorer» is a collection of 50 patches: 13 Leads, 13 Basses, 13 Plucks, 6 Drones, 5 FX.
This soundset is the opposite of my previous one, 'Analog Classics,' where I focused on creating more vintage/classical timbres. In the "Explorer" bank of presets, I aimed to dive deeper into the Kobol Expander and achieve the most interesting and experimental results.

📥 Get the soundset: https://antonanru.sellfy.store/p/kobo...

💎 The collection includes aggressive, bright, detuned, freaky, noisy, atonal, metallic, generative, evolving, rhythmic timbres.
Plucks are excellent for use with arpeggiators or sequencers. In most examples of this category, I utilize an arpeggiator. Kobol Expander doesn’t have a built in arp/seq, but you may integrate your preferred arpeggiators or sequencers from your DAW or MIDI controller.
Drones produce dark, distorted tones with heavy modulations, FM, noise, etc. They can be used as pads in genres like techno, industrial, or ambient to create a certain inharmonic atmosphere.

📻 The presets are suitable for a variety of genres, including: ambient, electronica, IDM, deep, techno, house, progressive, trance, lounge, downtempo, pop, chill out, new age, cinematic, breaks, jungle, drum and bass, dub and others.

📚 The soundset is presented in the form of PDF-Document. Each page contains notes that explain how the patch works, what parameters are worth tweaking during playback, and how to develop the timbre during a performance. If you make all the settings consciously and try the things mentioned in the notes, you will learn a lot about the synth and discover its true depth.

⏱ To recreate these patches, you will need up to 5 patch cords.
There are audio examples of all patches inside the folder with the soundset.

Drums and pads from the video demo are not included into the soundset."

Glitch // No-Input, 100% Analog Heat FX


video upload by Dave Mech

"Two presets + a walkthrough mini-course video showing how this works, are available in my shop here: https://davemech.live/shop

You'll find it under the 'Walkthroughs' section.

Ever since I got the Analog Heat +FX I've been tinkering with using it as a standalone unit to create textures and wild rhythms. It's really capable for that! So here's a first demonstration of using Analog Heat FX completely standalone. Enjoy!"

Up & Down | Make Noise

"Let's start getting a little more systematic with escape patch ideas.

Let’s start with an assumption, let’s say a hypothesis actually, that this is a subterranean place, a 'netherworld.'

Let’s make a new escape patch. Let’s base it on the idea of 'going up and down.'

Gem, Jade & Adlias- MaxforLive Sequencers for Ableton Live by K-teck


video upload by Isotonik Studios

AVAILABLE HERE: https://isotonikstudios.com/product/g...

"The heart of Gem is a 12 bit Linear Frequency Shift Register (LFSR)

The 12 points represent a binary number which is then scaled to create a note value

Every step rotates the binary sequence by 1, changing the note output

The sequence can be played either every step or as a euclidean pattern"

DEMO - Jade - MaxforLive Sequencer for Ableton Live by K-teck


AVAILABLE HERE: https://isotonikstudios.com/product/j...

"Jade uses Interference Patterns (combinations of 2 or 3 regular triggers) to conjure up 128 rhythm patterns.

You (yes, you) select sections of these patterns so that Jade can use K-Teck’s unique note generation engine to create stunning melodies, bass parts, repeated riffs… whatever you like.

And then… if you feel so inclined, you can activate Jade’s polyphonic shift registry for chords, arpeggios and stuff…

Jade is simple to use but very powerful. Whether you love to use step sequencers or just turn to them for occasional inspiration, Jade can do it all…"

Control over the distribution of euclidean pattern triggers
Both monophonic and polyphonic

"This classic Juno 106 is in great cosmetic and operational condition. ALL voice / filter chips are working proper without any issues. Synth Spa professionally replaced / installed and calibrated this synth.

This synth was always taken care of. Battery Voltage was checked and in spec, power supply checked and in spec. It was also fully calibrated. It is ready for years and decades of use.. ready for any synth lover's rig. We are pricing it pretty low considering it has the complete voice chip upgrade. And as you can see from the pics.. it looks amazing as well.. very well kept! Only thing to note is a couple of buttons take a slightly harder press to engage than others. Did not bother me at all.. just stating for full disclosure : )"

"Akai S900 MIDI Sampler works properly, usb upgrade, software 4.0. AC 120V-60Hz-42W

The S900 sampler is Akai's first truly professional sampler, released in 1986. Its sampling specifications were pro-quality at the time: 12-bit stereo sampling, 7.5kHz to 40kHz variable sampling rates and a maximum of 63 seconds of sample time at 7.5kHz. Up to 32 samples can be created and stored to disk along with any edit settings. This is one of the first rack-mount samplers to use a built-in disk drive. Although the drive could load sounds while you play, it was still a very slow process."

3 increasingly weird ways to program a TR-606 module (but keep it satisfying)


video upload by mylarmelodies

"This is a blend of: A 606 clone eurorack module demo (the LPZW/Tubbutec 6m0d6), and a tutorial - laced with tips and tricks - exploring three increasingly weird ways to trigger and modulate (drum) modules in general - using Gate & CV, Trigger Riot, and sneaky tricks in Ableton Live & MIDI. The overall theme is: Keeping the results 'musical' and satisfying.

We'll also make a generative sequencer with the Mutable instruments stages and use it to control the excellent Doepfer A-111-6. We'll drive it with the Music Thing Mini Drive. We'll turn the Tiptop Audio Trigger Riot into a modulation sequencer. We'll then use Ableton Live and we'll absolutely smash this thing to bits with some simple but very interesting methods to get completely wild patterns, that would take a LOT of modules to do in analog-land.

Happy days."
