Dimension 🎲 (Elektron Digitone + Particle + Deco // Korg Drumlogue // Sequential Take 5)

video upload by 2-Minute Warning

"This is the last video closing the trilogy featuring the Take 5 and Digitone! [previous videos below this one via this link]

The track begins with a sequence played by the Digitone (through the Particle granular delay which is being blended in from time to time on the intro + Deco tape saturation & doubletracker pedal effect).

Then the analog tracks of the Drumlogue are being unmuted, along with the BASS & LEAD which are being played live on the Take 5.

As often, I'm using only one pattern on the Digitone and one on the Drumlogue (but used a lot of automation, probability etc. to add variations)

Further on I switch to the LOOP mode on the Drumlogue in order to add some real time breaks."

Ekzil - "Orbital Teapot" : Circuit Track / Volca sample / Volca bass

video upload by Geoffroy AULAGNER

"I am proud to present to you my video number 4 of my monthly challenge 😁

Recently I've been having problems with the buttons on my novation circuit 😟.. I sometimes have to press them several times (especially the play button)
Have you ever encountered this problem ?

I didn't use the volca sample here . I decided to force myself to reduce the number of drums (I tend to use too many 😛)

I will be delighted to have your feedback! Especially on mastering. Because I'm not always very good at handling this 🎧 (the mastering of my previous song, Fantasy Dream, is a fail 😢)

The setup:
Novation Circuit Tracks: Drums, bass, pad
Volca Keys: Lead melody
Volca Bass: Second melody
Korg NTS-1: ping-pong reverb, chorus, build up with the noise oscillator"

4/24/24 (YLF 4, Op. 9, no. 2) Roland Jupiter 6 & RE-301 + Akai ME20A + Alesis Midiverb II

video upload by Cfpp0

"The left hand of Frédéric Chopin’s “Nocturne in E-flat major, Op. 9, no. 2” is translated into a sequence by the Akai ME20A MIDI sequence arpeggiator and played back on the Roland Jupiter 6 (cross modulation). The Jupiter 6 audio output goes into the Alesis Midiverb II, with the input overloading. Tape echo from the Roland RE-301 is applied on the Mackie Onyx 1640 mixer."

4/26/24 Chopin’s “Nocturne in E-flat major, Op. 9, no. 2” according to Akai ME20A & Roland Jupiter 6


"YLF plays the left hand of Frédéric Chopin’s 'Nocturne in E-flat major, Op. 9, no. 2' again, but this time as chords, which the Akai ME20A translates into a Bach-icized sequence. The Roland Jupiter 6 is in SOLO mode first, until it is switched to POLY-1 at 1:17, with some wiggling of filter cutoff and resonance, and the sustain and release on envelope 2, throughout the video, particularly towards the end.

I Saw Tooth

video upload by Kaffimusic

"This is a video I have made for a live music video 'challenge' at the German synth forum sequencer.de. I won with that. But there was nothing to win but experience and honor.
The center of this setup is the MPC One. It plays just midi pattern that I composed beforehand for the GS Music E7, the small Roland and the Novation Peak. The Kurzweil is not controlled, but the E7 runs through the audio ins and is used as a FX processor with delay and reverb for the E7. The PC4 is just played with internal sounds here. Switches and sliders are either set to control internals, the E7 or the fx. I progammed a multi that is able to play the sounds via switch and control the fx as well.
The last pattern is a respectfully stolen melody of Ehsan Gelsi. The whole style of this live sequencing is the technique he shows in his videos."

"I got recently a 2nd hand Model:Samples and really enjoy it.

For this track, I was deeply inspired by one of my favorite artist : 'The Toxic Avenger' and especially his latest track 'Acid Machine'. I especially loved its bassline.

Again i only used the provided sounds but played extensively with the sequencer, the conditional trigs and the lfo.

I hope you will enjoy it as much as I did composing it !"

"Despite its 64 steps limit, you are not stuck with 4 bars by adjusting the "duration" of each step a little bit like the Roland J-6 sequencer. And with the conditional trigs, you can easily program variations in a single pattern.

I only used the samples provided in the unit."

Additional SYNTH CITY Listings

Classic powerhouse of a poly-synth! The Yamaha CS60 shares the same architecture of the CS80 (including memory) which is why it's a fantastic synth to dial-in that big boy CS80 sound without the heavy price tag. Sorry, no legs are included.

Recently overhauled by our in house technician.

Service notes:

-Replaced all electrolytic capacitors within internal power supply
-Replaced other electrolytic capacitors associated with power supply rail
-Replaced all "lilac" capacitors
-Cleaned all controls, exterior panel, knobs and inside of chassis
-Cleaned keybed and entire assembly
-Replaced shorted diode on preset card
-Replaced bulb used in touch response sensor
-Calibrated power supply, key CV generators and key CV sample and hold
-Tuned all voices

More info on the CS60:

Featuring two oscillators, two envelopes, and two low-frequency oscillators. It also has a built-in chorus effect and a built-in arpeggiator. The CS-60 is capable of producing a wide range of sounds, from warm and mellow to bright and aggressive.

The CS60 is a 8 note polyphonic synthesizer w/ velocity, aftertouch and a ribbon
controller which offers the player a really organic feel into the performance of the instrument. Other key real-time control facilities, such as the LFO/ring-modulator section really make the CS60 a great players instrument – it’s all about the performance with the big CS polys.

The resonant qualities of the Yamaha CS series filter are unmatched by any other poly-synth so they sound unique.

Korg 770 Analog Synthesizer

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

via this listing

"Here's your chance to own this rare historic synth. All knobs, keys, pots and wood-housing is original. Everything has been cleaned and everything is functioning. This thing produces beautifully warm bass and lead sounds. And the ring modulator will take you into some wild sci-fi territories too. Only major blemish is a chipped key (see last photo) key still is fully functional.

The Korg 770 is a monophonic analog synthesizer introduced by Korg in 1976. Based on the same circuitry as the two-VCO version of the Mini-Korg, the 770 offered a more conventional re-packaging, and some control improvements to make the synth more versatile.

VCO 1 offered five choices of waveform, with triangle, sawtooth, square, pulse, and a pulse-width-modulated (rate controlled by an LFO) pulse wave on tap, or an external input could be selected. The VCO included an octave select switch with six settings, including a 64' deep bass setting. VCO 2 produced only a sawtooth wave, or it could be ring modulated against VCO 2, or any of three varieties of noise could be selected. The tuning could be offset from VCO 1. A blend control allowed the user to select the mix of the two signal sources. Other controls at the right side of the panel allowed the user to apply an "auto bend", or vibrato controlled by a dedicated LFO separate from the main LFO. (There were no pitch or mod wheels.)

Testing Nakst Integrate - Classic Hardstyle Lead

video upload by Eyezer Productionz | Synths & Audio

Note Nakst was first introduced a year go.

"Introduction (from the manual):

As technology has improved, it has become possible for manufacturers to produce increasingly complex synthesizers. This has led to the creation of synths that trade off easeof-use for maximum sound design potential, spreading hundreds upon hundreds of options and parameters throughout dizzying interfaces, full of tabs and menus. They provide oscillators and filters with such immense algorithmic precision that any soul or character is stripped away before it has a chance to flourish in the sound. Integrate is not like that.

Integrate has been designed with the goal of creating an old-school virtual analog that has just as much personality as any of the classics, paired with a fantastic user interface that makes exploring the sonic possibilities an effortless pleasure. It cannot do everything, but this is intentional; limitations breed creativity. No longer will you spend hours scrolling through lists of wavetables, paralyzed by the impossible task of deciding which is the best to use – a question that has no right answer. Instead, Integrate has a simple two-page layout where every parameter has been selected for its unique axis of inspiration. Every dial, slider and button is waiting to delight you as you delve into a world of aural possibilities.

Many thanks to fdigl for providing me a NFR license for this plugin! Next video will feature some custom patches made by me.

"The old-school virtual analog synthesizer: reimagined and perfected.

A synthesizer optimized for creativity.

Integrate follows in the footsteps of the virtual analog classics we still love today, bringing together a straightforward user interface with an intricate and colorful sound engine.

Four mighty oscillators.
The four main oscillators come equipped with a selection of 74 waveforms and a flexible noise generator.
The traditional waveforms (sine, sawtooth, square and triangle) all have a specially chosen parameter that can be modulated, allowing you to creating evolving sounds. The noise generator has tweakable color, and it also supports key tracking for an effect reminiscent of early game consoles.
Also featuring FM, RM and hard sync, there's a world of possibilities waiting to be unlocked in these oscillators.
There's also a sub oscillator sporting three waveforms, ready to quickly beef up your patch.

Have it your way.
Integrate lets you configure the character of the oscillators, giving you the power to shape the sound of your patches from the very start of the signal path.

Pick between the “Clean” rendering mode for a modern touch, or the “Digital” mode to add a gritty punch to your sound.

Make anything super.
Oscillators A and B both sport a unison section, letting you turn a simple waveform into a 7 voice beast. Configure the detune and mix, or enable “Stereo” to spread the voices across the channels. You'll soon discover how much of a monster Integrate is at fat, anthemic sounds, perfect for mesmerizing listeners of any genre.

The latest technology.
Integrate is available in the new CLAP plugin format, boasting advanced features like non-destructive polyphonic parameter modulation and note stacking. We're proud to join its community of developers who are pioneering the latest in audio technology.

Information, only when you need it.
To keep the interface compact and free from distractions, Integrate keeps extra information about parameters neatly tucked away in popups that only show when you're interacting with the relevant controls.

Waveforms, envelopes, frequency spectrums all pop up as soon as you need them, and then instantly hide away once you're done with them.

Explore new territory.
Integrate isn't an emulation of an existing synth. Instead, it's a brand new design, waiting for you to explore what it's capable of. Dive into a world of characterful oscillators, screaming filters, chaotic LFOs, and dreamy reverbs. There's bound to be something that'll captivate your imagination.

Inspired by the Nô Theatre, this track is my personal feeling of it.
At the beginning it all started with this voice.
I sampled and looped it in the Ruismaker Gauss. On the back, the Nô theatre it's all about percussion, so I built some tribal rhythm with the Polyend Tracker. My personal addition of this traditional art was the melodic aspect created with the Minifreak.
