Moog Muse Sequencer Arpeggio Combination

video upload by Nightlife Electronics

"The Moog Muse has a very complex and fully featured step sequencer. It also has a really fun arpeggiator and the great thing is that you can use these at the same time to create interesting interactions and variations to your sequence. You can even record directly into the sequencer from the arpeggiator!

Here the Muse is playing a simple patch that is given some help from the amazing sounding stereo diffusion delay.

You can check out Moog Muse (and a ton of other amazing synth gear) at Nightlife Electronics in Vancouver BC or right here on the world wide web: https://nightlife-electronics.com"

Howard Jones' Keyboardist & Behringer Synth Demonstrator Dan Clarke Has Passed Away

Some sad news via @howardjones

"Breaks my heart to bring you the news that our lovely Dan passed away on Sunday of cardiac arrest. Dan Clarke was a beloved member of my band, he brought energy and joy every night to the stage and was such great company on tour."

And via @behringer:

"We are deeply saddened by the passing of Dan Clarke, a truly wonderful person and a joy to collaborate with. His work on the Behringer synth videos was nothing short of amazing. Dan's musical talent and positive spirit will be greatly missed.

Rest in peace, Dan."

Bad Gear - Serum in a Box???

video upload by AudioPilz

"Welcome to Bad Gear, the show about the world's most-hated audio tools. What a time to be alive as a synth enjoyer! Ultra affordable clones of timeless classics, even the most obscure ways of sound generation are available for the price of one soul and samplers are now almost as powerful as they were in 1991.

Meanwhile, all these beautiful instruments have become basically irrelevant for actual music production and were replaced by gaming PCs with pirated copies of SERUM.

Today we are going to talk about moDWave. This family of wavetable synthesizer was introduced in 2021 and seems to be Korg’s attempt to bring the harshness of the aforementioned industry standard plugin to the hardware world. Is it SERUM in a box?

Xplorer Editor Now Open Source and Available on Github

video upload by XplorerEditor

Note the video above is latest from from 11 years ago. You can find additiona demos in previuos posts here.

News via the developer on the Xpantastic group:

"The Xplorer editor is now open source and available on Github: https://github.com/xplorer2716/XplorerEditor/ Almost everything is explained in the readme file https://github.com/xplorer2716/XplorerEditor?tab=readme-ov-file#readme, so I won't duplicate the information here.

Sadly I have no time to develop new features since years, you know how real life is. Now anybody can grab the source and continue the journey.

I hope this will help Xpanders/Matrix-12 owners to get the best of their beloved synths. This is my humble contribution to the community :)

IMHO, the best thing to do with the source code would be to migrate the it to a perennial framework such as JUCE, so any users could run it on Windows/Mac/Linux, whatever the underlying architecture is (Intel, ARM, etc...). This is not a simple task, mostly regarding UI.

The latest release is available here: https://github.com/xplorer2716/XplorerEditor/releases/tag/v2024.8.2.1

Minimoog & Odyssey // A 70's Love Story

video upload by Starsky Carr

"If you could only have one? Odyssey vs Minimoog, Mac vs PC, there's always a rivalry and in the 70s it was these 2. Or was it more a case of unrequited love... or lovers from different sides of the track... Romeo and Juliette, Tony and Maria, Rose and Jack

The ARP Odyssey takes you to gritty howling sizzles, and the Moog Minimoog tends to lean towards smooth and warm fuzziness. Both amazing iconic monosynths, both limited in today's terms but both stunningly awesome!"

Anyma Phi and Anyma Phi V physical modeling synth with Chase Bliss Mood mk2 and OXI One

video upload by Mike Laaksonen

"Anyma Phi from Aodyo Instruments is quite wonderful little monophonic physical modeling synth, that can do much more than just physical modeling. You can use 3 oscillators that you can choose from a long list, ranging from different wave forms, resonators, 2-op FM, wavetables etc.

You can use audio input as an oscillator, either external input or in-built contact microphone. So, Anyma Phi is not just a synth, but audio effect unit, too. However you use it , there are lots of configuration parameters and options.

Those 3 oscillators are routed to main and aux bus, where you can apply 5 effects, pan them in stereo field, add reverb, which is then put out as stereo audio.

Recently, Aodyo has launched as software version of Anyma Phi, called Anyma V. It is identical to hardware unit, except that Anyma V is polyphonic. Anyma V is a by-product of Aodyo's biggest development project, namely Anyma Omega, which is larger sibling of Anyma Phi. As a backer I have been eagerly waiting its launch, which may happen at end of year."
