Video Descriptions:

1. Depeche Mode Enjoy the Silence synth cover Clavia Nord Modular G1 Atari ST Steinberg Cubase

All drum and synth sounds produced simultaneously by the Nord Modular without any multi-tracking.

This is my attempt at creating a ‘one synth’ cover of Enjoy the Silence, using only 4 sound patches on my Clavia Nord Modular G1 (with DSP Expansion), sequenced using Steinberg Cubase 3.1 on my old Atari ST.

Just for fun, I thought it might be interesting to use Logic Pro, synchronised to Cubase on the Atari using MIDI Time Code, to playback the original DM vocals (on track 1) in sync with the audio coming from the Nord Modular. Tracks 2 and 3 are recording the audio coming from the Nord Modular, along with reverb from my Soundcraft mixer recording on track 4.

Playlist:-
0.06 Nord Modular + original DM vocals
4.28 Individual sounds and sequences
8.03 Nord Modular instrumental

Nord Modular Patches:-
Slot A = Drums (CPU = 89.3% Poly = 1)
Slot B = Bassline and Bells (CPU = 49.4% Poly = 3)
Slot C = Vox Chords, Phaser Strings and Vox Melody (CPU = 76% Poly = 7)
Slot D = Guitar, Filter Sweep Bass and Synth (CPU = 95.7% Poly = 4)

Nord Modular audio outputs:-
1+2 = Dry / No effects
3+4 = Hall reverb from my Soundcraft mixer

Elektron | Analog Four | Digitone | Jazz Sketch

video upload by VoltageCtrlRtv

"In this video, I'm taking you through my latest Synth Jazz sketch, where I fuse hybrid jazz drums with electronic melodies. I’m using the Elektron Analog RYTM to lay down some groove-heavy, jazz-inspired drum patterns, blending the warmth of analog synthesis with crisp digital samples. The Digitone then steps in to deliver lush, evolving FM tones and melodic lines that add a smooth, atmospheric vibe to the mix.

"Swedish made electric tube/valve organ from the 60s in great condition. Portable with a cover that can hold the legs, original tele cable and the music stand.

All original tubes are working and it tunes up nicely.

Same manufacturer as the Tubon keytar but this has full polyphony a optically actuated volume knee bar and a lot more sound options.

It is like a museum piece but with a great sound."

Model 77 Dual Layer Synth Softube NO TALKING SOUNDS DEMO

NO TALKING SOUNDS DEMO video upload by Andrew G Dugros





Details via Plugin Boutique & Softube:

The most expressive synth of its time, redesigned.

The authentic sound, interactions, and performance of three famed Japanese hardware units from 1977
A redesigned, intuitive new interface for an improved and modern workflow
Three versions included: the instrument, seven modules for Modular, and two modules for Amp Room
Model 77 Dual Layer Synth gives you one of the most influential sounds of our time. It is the iconic sound of Blade Runner, Chariots of Fire, Billie Jean, Africa, and Human Nature — among countless others. Softube modeled and accurately articulated every detail of the circuits of three legendarily expressive Japanese synthesizers from 1977 and put them in one user-friendly plug-in. The sound, interaction, and performance remain as close to the hardware as possible, while the complex interfaces of the original instruments are enhanced with an intuitive redesign. Finally, your most-coveted synth has the workflow you deserve.

The Art of Rock & Roll Science

Softube's reputation for creating tools that enhance workflow and offer superior sound quality is rock solid. Their partnerships with premium brands like Tube-Tech, Solid State Logic, Chandler Limited, Weiss Engineering, and Trident have spanned decades.

They built Model 77 Dual Layer Synth on this legacy of passion, expert modeling, and attention to detail. Because to create synth plug-ins that innovate and elevate, you have to have heart, soul, and Rock & Roll Science.

Time for a redesign

When designing Model 77, Softube took great care to create a more efficient user interface that makes the plug-in easier to navigate. Two layers are accessible directly from the front panel, but the focus stays on one layer at a time. This improvement enables you to adjust your sound quickly and confidently. Softube also redesigned the position of the sections to communicate the instrument's proper signal flow. A change that helps facilitate sound design. Now, the Ring Mod section on the interface corresponds to its location in the signal flow. The balance slider is between the upper and lower layers so that you can self-assuredly move between the layers while adjusting
parameters for each layer.

The polyrhythmic clocks and Euclidean sequencer of the Modor DR-2

video upload by Richard DeHove

"Euclidean sequencers are fun, but nowhere near as much fun as polyrhythmic clocks. Turns out every track on the Modor DR-2 has three clocks. Here I demonstrate some very tame examples sticking mainly to time signatures that won't disrupt the metabolism. Truly strange options abound, the vast majority of which could turn any simple pattern into a jazzified moosh worthy of an opening night of free-form interpretive dance at a modern art gallery.

If my examples here aren't too horrendous I may have another go at some more challenging. For example, mismatched time signatures partially sticjed back together with delicately timed flams and tuplets.

Also demoed here is the Euclidean sequencer. This is a more common feature of many drum machines. What makes this one a little different is that you can have up to 64 steps and hits in each track.

Kawai K1m Retro Digital Synth Euphoria Desktop Module

video upload by gstormelectro

"Audio + Video by G-Storm Electro c. 2024

Today I'm auditioning my original patches made for the Kawai K1m. A very limited digital synth from the 90s. And yet after digging into the architecture was able to harness some very powerful and unique features that are really, I mean, REALLY surprising. You'll hear some cheesy things, some pads, basses. And then there's fat poly action, swirling digital synth soundscapes. And alive motion things that are frankly astounding for such an unassuming little black box. Try to keep in mind when you hear the Mesmerized patch - the K1m has no sequencer nor arpeggiator. No freely assignable LFOs, just a fixed vibrato and that's it. And NO filter ha! Be sure to watch the whole video, lots of my favorites are on the 2nd half starting @3:19. My favorites are Head East, LA Sunset, Liquide and Mesmerized...which ones did you like?

"Dark, organic analog expressions.

Introducing auras:polyscape, the first in a new series of free instrument releases exploring the deep and cinematic sounds of the Polybrute 12 sourced from my custom patches and recorded through analog tube preamps to capture the glorious and imperfect nature of analog synthesis all wrapped up for the free Decent Sampler platform.

Featuring a brand-new UI design and editor, polyscape brings the expressive nature of these custom patches featuring 'motion recording' to life with new dynamics and expression controls (bound to CC1 and CC11, respectively) a re-designed velocity response mode toggle for more organic and realistic velocity performance, custom IR's captured directly from the Polybrute 12, and a hand selected A-B layer system that can be set or automated to explore the morphing and organic nature of each sound to bring every performance to life.

All for the low, low price of $0 and in a highly optimized format to offer big sounds in a little package.

I hope you enjoy this first release in the new 'auras' series, and I'm excited to share the next one soon...ish!"
