Modor NF-1 soundscape II - The indefinable soul

video upload by MIDERA

"Yesterday, I was drawn to the Modor. Today... more of the same. I had come up with some patches that weren't played here, but eventually I recorded it... I'm finding some really cool things you can do with the looping envelopes. It's very useful when you use a different envelope to modulate the decay of a looped envelope. Anyway, here's soundscape II.

Eventide Blackhole VST used for reverb."

video upload by EZBOT

"Hybrid Performance Mixer 3.0 offers 64 expertly crafted performance effects on the Octatrack MK1/MK2, for live hardware electronic music. What makes this template unique from Performance Mixer 3.0 is that it also has 2 flex tracks available for sampling or sample playback. A/B and C/D audio inputs all share a single bus of effects. It starts with a compressor for subtle compression pre-FX. A stereo looper is set up for easy looping of 8 bars of music. Connect all your gear or just one piece of gear, this template is by far the most flexible.

Superbooth 2024 - Talking with the makers of AE Modular

video upload by The 5th Volt

"This is the last video from Superbooth 2024. We spent the last evening at the AirBnB chilling and talking about the amazing three days we had, what we learned, what went well and what we can improve next year. This is just a bunch of dude's spinning yarn, but you may find this interesting, especially if you're interested in building AE modules yourself and maybe join the cool little group of 3rd party makers."

Sequential Prophet 10: still great in 2024!? (just listen from 2.38)

video upload by Chris Mick Studentsmusic

"a short intro about the synth and its sounds followed by a demotrack using exclusively (except drums) the sequential prophet 10"

And the OB-X8 video referenced:

Oberheim OBx8: is it the best sounding poly-analogsynth!? (No words, just hear )

video upload by Chris Mick Studentsmusic

"What a Monstersynth. Best experience with headphones! All voices exclusively by OBx8 played live into Nuendo. Drums by g-force Oberheim DMX plugin. Only Tapeecho, Spring Reverb and Juno Chorus added where appropriate. Composition, playing, production, mix,, video by Chris Mick 2024"

Oberheim OBX8 Patch Preview

video upload by riotbell

"Here is a short preview of a patch set that I've been working on for the OBX8.

I decided this time to present the patches totally dry with no external effects to give a good sense of what the synth actually sounds like raw.

I hope to have a full patch set preview up and available for free download for those who are interested sometime later this weekend."

Digital Controllers & Synths, MOOG's Geert Bevin | Superbooth 2024

video upload by Anthony Marinelli Music

"Join Geert Bevin and me as we discuss the current state of expression for both digital and analog instruments. Geert is a multi-instrumentalist and master of gestural control for synthesizers with decades of experience designing many different types of controllers.

I set out to hear what Geert had to say about Digital Instruments vs Analog Instruments, and the discussion kept coming back to controllers. I soon realized that Geert really cares about music and that performers being able to have an expressive experience with their instruments is more important to him than whether or not the tone is generated digitally or not. In this information-packed discussion, we'll cover topics such as: why digital struggles with attack transients, the difference between generating a sound digitally and processing a sound digitally, digital distortion vs analog distortion, how to create scarcity in the digital realm, and how humans compensate for different instruments.

Geert Bevin worked with Eigenlabs developing the Eigenharp, collaborated with Roger Linn by writing firmware for the LinnStrument, worked on the Ultraleap - Leap Motion Controller that detects your hand position with infrared cameras to convert conductor-like gestures to shape sound, and recently designed a Bluetooth MIDI controller for the Apple Watch. He's currently creating experiences on software synths for Moog Music that go beyond the sound itself, exploring MPE as a common language to connect musicians with expressive controllers, painstakingly working to make digital knob turns feel as good as analog knob turns, and determining the future of both analog and digital electronic instruments.

LARIX-ELEKTRO 4TOMS How to CVs

video upload by LARIX ELEKTRO

"The 4TOMS is a quad tom generator, ok.... Boring module ???
No ! A lot of parameters can be controlled by CV (yes !).

In this video, we will see how to add more CV inputs, with the AttV-4 or the Mult. modules.
And so, adding maximum expressiveness to the Tom.

The fascinating world of PULSAR SYNTHESIS with Plume from hieroglyphic

video upload by DivKid

"Have you heard of Pulsar Synthesis? If not come and learn along about what it is and how to use it and if you have then here's a refresher and some patch examples with Plume.

Plume is a new pulsar synthesis oscillator, think of it like a micro sound oscillator or modulator from new company hieroglyphic. Pulsar Synthesis is like granular synthesis but with synthesised waveforms treat as individual pulses rather than using samples like granular synthesis does. Any questions leave them in the comments.

This is one of my "3 patches with" style demos that distills things down to just 3 patches for a more condensed video. If you'd like to see something more in depth, or further patch examples, let us know in the comments."

https://www.hiero-glyphic.com/plume

"A fully-featured pulsar synthesizer for the Eurorack modular system. Using principles adopted from the Curtis Roads white-paper Sound Composition with Pulsars, Plume presents an approach to sound and rhythm that is somewhere between oscillator, granulator, and clock generator.

·96kHz/24-bit stereo outputs.

·Range switch (HI/LO) for use as VCO, LFO, or both.

·Formant and Cluster controls for complex output spectra.

·Continuously variable output wave shapes.

·West-Coast style wave folder.

·2 types of output masking for advanced spatialisation.

·Continuously variable pulsar window shape and amount.

Korg Wavestation A/D - "Vector Galaxy" 150 Presets

video upload by LFOstore

"BUY: https://lfo.sellfy.store/p/korg-waves...

Finally we made it - a third soundset for original Wavestation synthesizer!

"Vector Galaxy" is a culmination of our Wavestation research for 10 years.
It contains "Best Pads & Drones", "Extended", & the new one - "Vector Galaxy" with overall 150 sounds!

In this new series, you will find:

* Atmospheric pads dedicated to our solar system & planets
* Great layered fiilmscore piano & strings presets
* Powerful distorted leads & retrowave silk plucks
* Powerful strings, brasses with authentic cyberpunk spirit
* Nick's beautiful & most powerful "CS-80 Intro" preset

It's the first time you can get so many useful atmospheric sounds for your production collected in one soundset.

WS is One of the best machines for deep ambient atmospheres & drones.

Supper lush sound & waves + vector synthesis - giving great possibilities.

Compatible with models:WS EX, A/D, SR, VST version from Legacy Collection.
(!)Not compatible with original Wavestation Mark 1.

On EX some of the patches will sound a bit different in comparsion with A/D Version due to complicaited structure technology of WS

Using capabilities of WS EX & AD Series with new wavetables, aftertouch & great onboard fx.

Explore the deepest world of Vector Synthesis!"

This logic module does a lot: Mystic Circuits ANA2 Demo

video upload by mylarmelodies

"Here's a demo of a logic module that can take ANY type of signal and create up to 8 weird variations (and a bonus mix) of the input signals from it. I've enjoyed ANA2 especially as a novel 'extra' VCO for two existing VCOs, so let's make some sounds, drum gates, and modulation and see what we can cook up!"

Intellijel Cascadia - Creating Sounds without Patch Cables

video upload by Intellijel

"Matt takes us through the basics of how to create and sculpt sounds on Cascadia without the use of patch cables.

Cascadia is a hugely versatile semi-modular synthesizer, and at first glance the vast number of patch points & controls might seem daunting. This video breaks down the basic signal flow and normalled connections, so you can get an overall sense of how Cascadia works - whether you're a beginner or just curious! This is by no means a deep dive, but we'll be following up with more videos on specific features soon.
