Baby Audio Transit - TranceFormation V1

video upload by NatLife Sounds

"Product Page: https://natlifesounds.com/product/tra...

TranceFormation V1 - A set of 50 perfectly calibrated Presets for Baby Audio TRANSIT.

This patches made with a maximum precision for maximal ease of use.

To apply, just turn the Transition Control knob and voila!

The set is great for both individual instruments (Waldorf Blofeld is used in the demo video), for the Drum Section (Roland TR-6s is used in the video) and of course for the overall mix/composition as seen in the same demo video where Blofeld and TR-6s are combined in one music scene.

Naturally, it’s easier to use these presets inside DAW and VST.

It have no music style specification, but as you hear in the demo it's Progressive Trance, so it will work good in Melodic Techno, Progressive House, Dubstep, Chillstep, Trance, Techno or any type of music including Pop, Rock or Live Performance."

"Excellent cosmetic condition. The tape counter doesn’t engage but the entire is otherwise fully functioning (the LCD memory counter functions fine). Cassette functions. Some scuffs to the hardshell case. Lid foam has deteriorated in some places (see photos).

Great to sample from and sounds brilliant with a little reverb. Check out our short video where we couple this with a mellotron."

ARP Foundation ARP 2500 Now Available for Public Use

The first ARP 2500 available for public use, previously posted here, is now available.

via The Alan R. Pearl Foundation

KINGSTON, NY, MAY 24, 2024– The Alan R. Pearlman Foundation proudly announces that their recently-acquired ARP 2500 synthesizer has been restored, fitted with upgrades, and is now available tom the general public at The Record Co. in Boston, MA. This ARP 2500 is the first and only publicly-accessible example of its kind in the USA.

Thanks to generous funding from donors and benefactors, and in line with the Foundation’s mission, this exceedingly rare 2508 Wing Cabinet is now available to everyone. Part of the expansive 2500 system, the 2508 is a self-contained synthesizer including original oscillator, filter, sequencer, envelope and mix-sequencer modules, interlinked by the 2500’s flexible patch matrix system. It also contains a unique new oscillator designed for the Foundation by Phil Cirocco of Cirocco Music Systems, who also restored the 2508 to pristine working condition. The synthesizer has been further enhanced with a protective cover as well as a new custom-made keyboard from synthesizer.com.

"The day has finally arrived," said Dina Alcalay Pearlman-Ifil, founder and Executive Director of the ARP Foundation and daughter of Alan R. Pearlman. "Thanks to our generous donors, colleagues, and friends, our 2500 got the TLC it needed to make it feel and sound brand new again. It’s ready to inspire the next generation of musical explorers, just as my father intended. We hope this will be the first of many.”

The 2500 is available by appointment. Users seeking to schedule hands-on time must contact The Record Co. at therecordco.org/reserve-space. Previous modular synthesizer experience is strongly encouraged, however, users will receive an email with resources designed to familiarize them with the 2500’s workflow, empowering them to make the most of their time with this legendary synthesizer.

The ARP Foundation continues its work with contributors, collaborators, vendors, manufacturers, venues, and synthesizer owners to provide musicians with access to vintage ARP synthesizers to explore the endless possibilities of electronic music. The Foundation relies on donors to continue its mission, and encourages everyone who understands the importance of music education to visit alanrpearlmanfoundation.org to learn more and pledge their support."

Arpeggio with the Portabella MK IIIe & Meraki delay pedal

video upload by Erik Lucas F.

"This is a video demonstrating PIN Eletronic's Portabella MK IIIe. A pre-written MIDI sequence was sent from my DAW to the Portabella; the audio from the portabella goes through a true-stereo analog delay pedal called Meraki from Walrus Audio and then into my DAW. No processing was applied except a slight percentage of reverb from Fabfilter Pro R2 which is controlled from 0% to 15% using the MIDI Fighter Twister shown in the video. A bass line was also used in this piece, whose low-pass cutoff position is also controlled with the MIDI Fighter Twister."

Microcosm and Chroma Console with Drum Machine

video upload by Hologram Electronics

"Microcosm and Chroma Console being used in tandem to create a super dynamic/glitchy drum processing chain 🎛

Microcosm's Tunnel presets (secret sauce for percussive sounds) track your input signal and do a bunch of wild granular processing in realtime. In this video, you'll hear how quickly Microcosm tracks the incoming drums and spits out weird time-stretched samples and other miscellaneous space noises

Microcosm's output is going directly into Chroma Console, where we've made a patch that in addition to crunching up the drums/Microcosm also has some interesting time-based effects going on with the Collage effect.

Stick around for a walkthrough of these patches and a little jam at the end 🥁"
