AnymaV Noise Fix for Hard Synth Patches - Mark Steiner

video upload by Mark Steiner

"Patches that were made on the Editor for the Anyma Phi (hard synth) and then loaded on the Anyma V (plugin/stand alone) currently will often have white noise blasting loudly that wasn't meant to be there.

Until this bug is fixed... here is an easy work around. Tested and good.

I have a bank of 164 Sounds that work great in both (this fix saved/included) now for Wind Synths. $95 Email me at monkeydrums@hotmailDOTcom to order.

It is also included in my Time Travel Wind Synth package for $250... includes all my sound collections (about 800 sounds currently and growing, you'll get all future collections/additions as well).

Thanks!"

Sequential Trigon 6 vs OB6 showdown !

video upload by Yuki The Synth Dragon

Regarding the wobbly knob, that looks defective to me. I have SN 01091 and the knobs are solid. His is SN 3925. If you have an OB-6 leave a comment with your SN# and whether your knobs are solid or wobbly. If you pick up a new one just check the knobs out of the box, but obviously don't force them. That said, this is an interesting comparison between the two synths.

Kaivo: Body Module Overview

video upload by Madrona Labs

"Overview of Kaivo's Body Module

Kaivo is a software instrument combining two powerful synthesis techniques (physical modeling and granular synthesis) in an easy-to-use semi-modular package. It’s laid out a bit like an acoustic instrument; the GRANULATOR module acts like the player’s touch, exciting one or more tuned objects (here, the RESONATOR module, based on physical models of resonant objects) that come together in a central resonating body (the BODY module, also physics-based)."

Mutable Instruments Ambika soundscape - Mars awaits

video upload by MIDERA

"I have played many hybrid synthesizers. Prophet 12, 3rd wave, DW-8000, ESQ-1, Poly Evolver, Pro-2, maybe others? And I always come to this conclusion. The Ambika sticks out as my favorite. At least, in terms of sound. In terms of UI, P12 wins. In terms of build quality, Poly Evolver wins (minus the encoder issues). DW-8000 does indeed have the most interesting filter IMO. They're all fun, very different... but the Ambika just has the best envelopes, great filters, awesome modulation capacity - and I'm always left feeling like this is an amazing synthesizer.

Joe Satriani's Drum Machine

video upload by Alex Ball

"Whilst the E-mu SP machines are most famous for their use in Hip-hop, they were used by numerous artists in different genres and in different ways.

To that end, I thought it would be interesting look at why and how it was used on Joe Satriani's 1987 album "Surfing with the alien".

A note - I am aware that playing Joe Satriani songs on an Ibanez JEM is like doing a video about Spider-Man whilst dressed as Batman, but the JEM is the guitar I have. 😀

This is impressive! // Time Machine from Olivia Artz Modular (OAM) [ambient eurorack fx]

video upload by DivKid

"I love a good delay and this has been a great delay that’s given a wide range of musical results. The Time Machine from OAM (Olivia Artz Modular) is a multi-tap delay with various timing, spread and clocking options as well as the ability to create custom blends on 8 delay taps and time divisions. This led to designing custom reverb ambiences and even finding a ‘Dynamic Rhythm Designer’ that allowed for making hi hat and bass rhythms in an intriguing way. Lots of links and the timing below. Have at it!"

► Tweakery Mayhem on Gaia-2 ► Evil / Moody / Introspective sounds by Jexus.

video upload by Jexus (sounds-for-synths.com)

"An ultra-fast demo of some more aggressive, dark & experimental timbres than in my 2 previous videos. All sounds come from the 'Jexus Gaia-2 Soundset' with 300 custom presets / patches & all sequences that you hear."

"The presets are named “number + WCOG” (for example “185_WCOG”). The soundpack comes as a file in Roland SVZ format. Just copy the file from your computer onto a memory stick and import it to your Gaia-2. Warning: not every USB stick works with Gaia-2 : check if you have a compatible one or if you need to buy a new one. You don’t need to install any Roland expansions for these presets. A standard factory unit of Gaia-2 is enough!

In this video I used some EQ-ing and / or external reverb on selected sounds (in very small amounts). Other than that everthing you hear comes from the Gaia-2 engine (no additional flanger, chorus, distortion, no layering, etc.)"

1 Hour Improvisation with Eurorack Modular Synths & Midicake

video upload by midicake

"An hour long, unplanned improv session with Midicake ARP and a very limited Eurorack setup.

Consisting of just 4 synths: 2hp Kick, 2hp Pluck, Knobula Pianophonic, Knobula Polycinematic. The Specular Tempus is providing reverb.

It's surprising just what variation you can get with this small setup. The sound is recorded as is with no post editing. I hope you enjoy!"

Flanging PERfourMER MKII

video upload by vermonagear

"Today we are going to feed our PERfourMER MKII with a little MIDI sequence. The fourth synthesizer channel plays the bass, while the first three are connected in PLAYMODE P2. This means that each incoming MIDI note triggers a different synthesizer channel. We will introduce the first three voices, one at a time to develop the sequence.

The MAIN OUT is routed through LogicPro, where we add flanger and delay effects.

Enjoy the performance!"

Art Of Noise Moments Of Love ~ Vintage Synthesizer Recreation ~ RetroSound

video upload by RetroSound

"One of my favorite tracks from the 80s.
Moments Of Love (maxi version) by the Art Of Noise from the year 1985
It was written by group members Anne Dudley, Trevor Horn, J. J. Jeczalik, Gary Langan and Paul Morley. ZTT Records

I have many favorite songs from the 80s. But 'Moments Of Love' is really quite far ahead. The famous sound ARR1 or Sararr is original from the Fairlight.

Featured the E-MU Emulator II (Sararr, Percussion, E-Piano, Bass), the Oberheim OB-Xa (String-Pads) and the PPG wave 2.2 Synthesizer (Vibraphone sound)

This cover song series contains my own recreations of my favourite songs from the last 50 years. The original music from which I take inspiration belong to their respective owners. I recreate tracks only for personal passion and to pay homage to these tracks.

My intention is not to create covers that sound exactly like the original (if you want to hear identical sounds, please listen the original). It's more of an inspiration with my sounds from the old synthesizers from the past and of course the great appreciation for the original performers and producers.

Thank you."

Error Instruments Passive Operator Comes to Eurorack

video upload by errorinstruments paul tas



"More passive sounds drums and more after the big success of the passive operator mini drum synthesizer

that works on trigger gate and control voltage we decided to take it to the next level in Eurorack .

Where do you have more? CV trigger Gate then straight from the rack 16 HP and no powered need .

A lot of experimental purpose with patch matrix and playing with touch and compartments if you need it"

Off to space, Bye // Elta Music Solar 42f is Incredibly Immersive

video upload by Dave Mech

"Hello HAL, do you read me? This is best listened to / viewed from beginning to the end if you want to get a good picture of the drone / ambient / cinematic journey the Solar 42 can take you on. I hope this trip to space will help you understand how this instrument can bend your mind into the 5th dimension. I knew I'd like the Solar 42 but it really clicked with me in a way I didn't expect. And I'm only scratching the surface here. And the sound.... It's seriously impressive in all aspects. The way all the voices are summed, the overdrive and fx, it's all sounding lovely.

Disclaimer: Elta Music send me this unit to play with and create a music video.
Disclaimer 2: Some post processing was used with iZotope Ozone. Another thing I did was feeding some of the right channel to the left channel after recording. While playing this piece I created a nice stereo effect with the filters in link mode. The downside was that this was a bit too extreme, certainly for headphones so I solved that in post.
