Intellijel Flurry: 3 Patches with Rainbow Mode 🌈

video upload by Intellijel

"Exploring one of our favourite features on Flurry 🌈

Rainbow mode gives you immediate access to all 16 of the digital noise algorithms on Flurry. The Morph control lets you scan through them manually, or you can patch in CV to modulate between Noise Types - and that’s where things get exciting! We’ve created 3 patches that put Rainbow mode to good use - helped along by Tangrams, Planar2, Sealegs and more!

The patches:

00:30 - Rainbow Rhythms 🌈

Noise type is sequenced and the output gated with the ‪@KorgOfficial‬ SQ-1, Tangrams and Amps. Planar mixes in S&H output with the sequence to randomise the noise type, as well as controlling delay & filter, to create fills. A great way to add playable rhythmic layers to your beats.

01:15 - Spectrum Steps 🌈

This patch uses sample & hold to randomly switch noise type with every note. Via tangrams VCA input, the digital noise swells and modulates the SVF cutoff frequency at audio rate. Imagine a prepared piano, but the objects inside are constantly moving between keys.

02:05 - Chaotic Dispersion 🌈

All hell is breaking loose in “Chaotic Dispersion”, and Planar2 is driving! With every joystick movement, a chain of events is set in motion - Noise type changes with position, as does the VCO pitch and delay settings. Gate from Planar2 triggers Tangrams which ramps up the pulse rate. The outputted pulse feeds Tangrams other envelope, which rapidly triggers the PLPG before slowing to a steady tick. This one is a lot of fun!"

DRM1 MKIV: chirping forest kit (one beat // different sounds # 2.3)

video upload by vermonagear

00:00 - Intro 00:09 - Starting the Beat 00:51 - All Instruments "Can the DRM1 MKIV sing like a bird? Find out by watching this video. There is nothing left of the sound set from the last episode. We wildly tweaked all 73 knobs on our drum synthesizer and came up with the sound set we call the _chirping forest kit_.

The sequence was programmed with the sequencer of the mighty DIGITAKT II from ‪@WeAreElektron‬ But there are no external effects. What you hear comes directly from the main outputs of the DRM1 MKIV.

NOVATION INTRODUCES LAUNCHKEY MK4 RANGE

HIGH WYCOMBE - AUG 29th 2024: Novation is proud to introduce the fourth generation of their widely acclaimed Launchkey range of MIDI keyboard controllers. The new Launchkey is designed to provide the most detailed DAW integration of any Launchkey to date, offering in-depth hands-on control of all major DAWs, as well as a totally overhauled suite of creative tools. This includes a generative arpeggiator, powerful chord and scales modes, and a step sequencer for Ableton Live. Launchkey ships with an impressive collection of plugin instruments and effects from Klevgrand, Orchestral Tools, and GForce, as well as Ableton Live Lite and exclusive lessons from Melodics. The hardware has been re-engineered to look, feel, and play like an instrument, with high-quality keybeds and unique patented Launchpad-style FSR pads with polyphonic aftertouch. They also now feature continuous encoders and sharp OLED displays.

The Launchkey range comprises six models:

Launchkey 61: (61 full-sized semi-weighted piano-style keys and nine faders)
Launchkey 49: (49 full-sized semi-weighted piano-style keys and nine faders)
Launchkey 37: (37 full-sized keys)
Launchkey 25: (25 full-sized keys)
Launchkey Mini 37: (37 mini synth-action keys)
Launchkey Mini 25: (25 mini synth-action keys)

Analogue Synthesiser Melodies | The Art of Production: Olof Dreijer

video upload by Resident Advisor

An interview with Olof Dreijer of The knife.

"Few do melodic electronics like Olof Dreijer.

No matter which part of the Swedish producer's broad catalogue you dip into—from The Knife to Oni Ayhun—you can always make out that knack for resplendent melodies, achieved using vintage analogue synthesisers such as the Oberheim Xpander and the Chroma Polaris.

Producer: Sophie Misrahi
Director of Photography: William Engström
Assistant Producer & Editor: Guy Clarke"

Envelopes | The Art of Production: Olof Driejer

video upload by Resident Advisor

"Envelopes play an essential role in Olof Dreijer's expressive, synth-heavy sound.

Dreijer demonstrates how he uses envelopes—a cycle of attack, decay, sustain and release—to emulate acoustic instruments. 'I like it when music has a mix of soft envelopes and slow attacks, and then very fast, more percussive things,' he says."

In addition to 4 extra eprom slots (meaning 4 more sounds), this machine has the ability to tune ALL of the sounds from the back panel. As you can see, it also has MIDI capability. The additional "Stretch" module has ZIF sockets, which make exchanging eproms quick and easy."

🙏 Tiptop Audio RS909 🙏 🎧 (no talking) 🎧

video upload by Cutoff Frequency - gear stuff (no talking)

"This is a video demonstrating the sounds of the RS909 by TipTop Audio.

What can you expect from a modular rim shot? Well I was hoping for a high quality reproduction of the TR-909, which I got. It is a well put together sound module that cuts nicely through the mix. However, I was also hoping for some wildness, some creativity that goes well beyond the original. Unfortunately I didn't get that. The knob turning doesn't really inspire me to take the music to a new place. Still, a really nice rim shot though!

SonicLAB: Teenage Engineering Medieval Sampler

video upload by sonicstate

"In this SonicLAB episode, we look at the Teenage Engineering Medieval sampler, a whimsical companion piece to the original KO2.

We confess, the Medieval seemed like an outlandish concept with its unique packaging and medieval-themed sounds including trumpets, hurdy-gurdies, and crowd noises that evoke ancient pageantry. The device offers the same hardware as the KO2 but stands out with its distinct, medieval-themed LCD screen and faux-Latin graphics.

Despite its quirky thematic elements, the Medieval sampler features upgraded 128 MB storage, twice as much as the KO2. However, the additional storage primarily holds the predefined medieval sounds, leaving just 32 MB for user samples. The effects and MIDI functionalities are similar to the KO2, though the Medieval includes new effects like echo, ensemble and dimension Notably, the Medieval also allows for loop points in samples pre-defined, and multi-sample regions which isn't available in the KO2.

Ultimately, the Teenage Engineering Medieval sampler, priced the same as the KO2, feels like a bit of a novelty item. For practical use, the KO2 continues to be a more versatile choice.

Key Moments:
00:00:00 Introduction
00:00:12 Initial Impressions
00:00:54 Unboxing & Hardware Comparison
00:01:19 Medieval Sound Demos
00:03:46 Storage & Software Differences

One of my favorite tracks from the late 70s (early 80s)
Being Boiled by The Human League from the album Travelogue (1982)
Composed by Martyn Ware and Ian Craig Marsh with lyrics by Philip Oakey

Featured the Korg Maxi-Korg 800DV Synthesizer, the Moog Minimoog for percussion and the Boss DR-55 für drums

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."
