video upload by Scott McAuley Sounds

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

So Finally, I have got back to the wonderful instrument that is the Moog ONE, what a remarkable instrument it is! an absolute pleasure to program and play.

I feel this is my best work to date, over 140 sounds in 100 patches many having a different sound on each of the 3 synth engines!

The downloadable file you will receive also has a couple of major tips on how to get the best attacke from your envelopes and how to properly gain stage your moog one for the best/minimum noise.

I will let the demo's do the talking, I really hope you enjoy these!

Groc Granular Engine: Filter and Placement

video upload by oddment audio

"One of the great benefits of working on a 4-core ARM A72 for granular synthesis isn't just producing a lot of grains, it is having the compute to do signal processing on the grains - like binaural spatialization, filtering, bit crushing and so on. In this example we show how to adjust Groc's grains filter bandwidth, center and introduce random variation per grain. We also demonstrate how to use the placement and scatter parameters to create a spinning effect and to increase the width of a sound. At the tail end we show a couple of the extra LFO parameters and then how to modulate a secondary parameter via the orange encoder."

Synthetic Sound Labs Announces 2655 Geo-Gruvn EUCLIDEAN EURORACK SEQUENCER

Press release follows:

"SSL’s new 2655 Geo-Gruvn is a six channel, 16 step Euclidean rhythm / gate sequencer for Eurorack modular synths in only 6 HP.

Geo-Gruvn is inspired by the brilliant efforts of Japanese designer Hagiwo, and produced by SSL with kind permission. SSL has also significantly enhanced the hardware and software leading to better performance and improved functionality.

Each of the six output channels allow adjustment of:

Hits – The number of outputs generated, with Euclidean spacing. Offset – Changes the starting point for the Euclidean sequence. Length – The number of steps for this channel before resetting. Mute – Turns on/off all outputs of the selected channel.

A single rotary encoder allows uncomplicated selection of channels and functions with simple visual feedback provided by a bright blue OLED display.

In addition to its extensive Clock / Sequencing related duties, Geo-Gruvn can respond to Clock inputs well into the audio range, making it a convenient 6-channel frequency divider.

A Pattern Memory screen allows non-volatile storage for up to 8 pattern sequences. Page 1 of 5

The Geo-Gruvn features a bright OLED display, clock and reset inputs, 6 gate / trigger outputs, a rotary encoder for selecting functions, and an eight Pattern non-volatile memory. All inputs and outputs are standard 3.5mm phone jacks with an associated LED panel indicator.

Power is supplied by standard 10 pin Eurorack power header.

Quality, solder masked, fiberglass-epoxy printed circuit boards and meticulous hand- crafted assembly assure years of trouble-free service.

Synthetic Sound Labs has been in the analog synthesizer business since 1973. The 2655 Geo-Gruvn is the newest in SSL’s continuing line of outstanding analog synthesizer devices.

Pricing is $179.95 US and is available off-the-shelf from SSL and Distributors Worldwide."

CRUST is a hard-hitting drum module reimagined for fast playability and immediate creative drum inspiration.

Crust is a full drum voice going way beyond drum territory. It consists of two layers - the NOISE source and dual oscillator TONE generator. Hard-hitting drums need a lot of transient attention and CRUST has you covered with the combination of pitch envelope, layer mixing, FM envelope, and transient shaper with hard-clipping.

Bastl Instruments THYME+ - New Advanced Robot-Operated Digital Tape Machine

video upload by Bastl Instruments

THYME+ is a digital tape machine transcending typical delay effects and spanning various multi-effect categories. Though proudly digital, THYME+ operates with the metaphor of an analog tape delay machine, with adjustable tape speed and read heads positions. Multiple read heads (multi-tap) enhance density and complexity, while feedback and filters govern the richness or darkness of the echo tails.

THYME+ is an updated and innovated version of the iconic Thyme from 2017. Alongside improved connectivity, a better audio codec, tuned and updated firmware, THYME+ features a metal enclosure, larger knobs, and a sleeker faceplate.

"A full song with multiple parts utilizing three Novation devices. The Circuit Tracks is operating as the master device using its two onboard synth parts, four sample tracks, and two MIDI tracks for sequencing/triggering the external Bass Station II and Peak synthesizers. Along with percussive samples, guitar samples were recorded separately and uploaded to the unit for playing all audio parts simultaneously."

Moog Mother-32: Melodic Patterns/Sequences. No Talk Demo Jam

video upload by Anton Anru

"Melodic Patterns is a collection of 64 sequences suitable for different genres like Techno, House, Progressive, Deep, Trance, Retrowave, Synthwave, Lounge, Downtempo, Chill Out, Cinematic, Breaks, Drum’n’Bass, etc. The soundset contains a wide range of patterns: dense, with all steps active, or sparse, having many empty steps and giving space for other instruments. Some patterns are made in Major scale, others - in Minor.

💾 Get the soundset: https://antonanru.sellfy.store/p/moth...

Each pattern is thoroughly set with parameters such as Gate Length, Ratchet, Glide, and Accent. The length of the sequences varies from 16 to 32 steps.

By default, the sequences are in the C4 Minor scale. However, you may transpose them to octaves, or you can adjust the root note in semitones using the onboard keyboard to fit any scale. Additionally, transposition during playback can be used to create progressions.

Moog Mother-32 doesn't have the import/export feature. The only way to share a melodic line is old good Patterns Sheets - a picture, where all parameters are put to the picture, and then, a pattern is recreated manually by following the settings on the sheets.

Thus, the soundset is presented in the form of a PDF file. You can see an example of a pattern in the video or on the product page, the picture is attached.

There are audio examples of all patterns inside the folder with the soundset. The timbre in the examples is kept simple to avoid disturbing the perception with excessive modulations. The examples' tempo is 110 BPM. You may import them into your DAW and add a straight 4/4 kick pattern to have a rhythmic reference. After you've programmed a pattern, you can then set the patch to any complexity level.

The soundset doesn't include Mother-32 patches/timbres/front-panel settings. Patterns only.
You may find Mother-32 patches on my website as separate products.

You can use the patterns as ready-to-go material for your tracks or jams. Alternatively, you can go further by taking them as a starting point. Decorate the sequences with the features offered by Mother-32: play with pattern length (end point), direction, rotation (shifts the starting point back and forward), swing amount and division, tempo division if you use an external clock, momentary actions like hold, accent, ratchet, and others, reset, and, of course, you can change patterns by muting/adding steps or changing notes. Thus, a single sequence can produce many 'siblings' in real time."
