NTS-1 mk II - building and jamming

video upload by Tweeeeeak!

"Building my NTS-1 mk II, where I'll be testing my future custom oscillators, firstly the ones ported from mk1.

(Check my custom oscillators for NTS-1: https://github.com/tweeeeeak/nts)

Audio from my first jam using both mk1 and mk2.

Mk1 playing Proba-B OSC with arp filtered by the auto probability sequencer of the Proba-B OSC (Function 8) + 'Corrosion' mod FX + delay and reverb. Audio goes through mk2 but bypassing all fx.

Mk2 playing SQR OSC with a recorded sequence on random order + some mod FX + delay and reverb. Reverb is quite wet on the first part of the video and gets dryer somewhere in the middle."

BLESSED ORGAN FOR POPES & PREACHERS! | NOVATION MININOVA | "A-061 CathedralOrgan" Patch (No Talking)

video upload by Microflat

"Listen to this ceremonial "A-061 CathedralOrgan" patch delivered by baby synthesizer Novation Mininova. My Goodness! I love it. It truly sounds blessed. The keyboard comes in a nice blue color with 3 octaves and mini keys. Wow! Great sound engine. The chords played here represent my personal enhancement of the fundamental chord progression from my favorite Danish psalm 'Hil Dig Frelser og Forsoner'. I will get back to that particular psalm in a later video. :o)

Video clips were recorded in 4K (60 fps) on a Panasonic Lumix GH5 and were edited in Adobe Premiere Pro running on a HP Zbook 15 G6. Audio was recorded in mostly 96 KHz 32 bit directly into the Solid State Logic SSL 2+ USB-C audio interface via an Apple iPad Pro running Cubasis 3. All audio output has been processed in Adobe Audition for optimal broadcasting."

Waldorf 4-Pole Miniworks

Note: Auction links are affiliate links for which the site may be compensated.

via this listing

"The MiniWorks is a stand-alone 4-pole resonant analog filter and modulation module. Use it to create those Daft-Punk filter sweeps on entire drum & rhythm loops! Run any sounds, synthesizers or loops through it and filter them with a truly analog-like VCF (filter) that is not only very flexible but MIDI controllable as well! There are many modulation sources that can be programmed between the extensive VCF, VCA, envelope and LFO sections and these settings can be stored in the (20) user memory patches. The MiniWorks can also be overloaded for a lo-fi crunchy sound too! If it were a true stereo filter it would be perfect (input is mono, output is stereo), but in its price range it is the best analog filter module available"
