PlantsSystem-Texture


video upload by plantssystem

"'Texture' was made with Prophet-5 and 'M'.
The rolling glissando is from 'M'.
The 琴 sound from Prophet-5 is very tasteful.
I used chorus from BOSS SE50 and RSS from Roland VS1880 as treatments to make the sound more 3-dimensional.
I hope you enjoy the delicate sound." --- M is Intelligent Music's M Software

Prophet X - Overwrite factory memory | Sysex patch edit tutorial


video upload by Espen Kraft

"If you receive a bunch of patches (both individual files or whole banks) for your Prophet X, you might not want to have these saved at the same locations they come in.
If you receive a patch that was saved in Bank U2 Patch 90, this will go into THAT memory location on your Prophet X as well, when you transfer it. Unfortunately you can't put it in another memory location when you transfer it. You can of course save it to some place else after you've transferred it to Patch 90 (this example), but only to the 4 different U-banks.
UNLESS.... you edit the sysex file itself before transferring it to your own PX. By doing so you can set it to go exactly where you want. You can even overwrite the factory patches if you want. All banks and patches U1-U4, F1-F4 and A1-A4 can be overwritten in the sysex transfer.

I'm fully aware there exists several library apps and software for the Prophet X that will help you do this. These costs money. My method is totally free.

In this video I'm using a free binary decoder called HdX to load, inspect, edit and save a sysex file. I'm using Bome SendSX to transfer the edited sysex file from my computer to my PX.
Both these programs are free.
You can certainly edit the sysex file from within the transfer program itself as well."

Oberheim TEO-5 vs OB-6 vs OB-X8 // which synth is BEST?

video upload by Miles Away

"Shootout / comparison of the three high end analog synthesizers from Oberheim / Sequential. Which should you get?

All 3 synths were recorded direct into UAD Apollo 16 interface with no EQ or pre-amp coloring. While I did my best to level match all 3 of the synths, these are analog instruments with a high variance in dymanic range, so at some points, one synth will sound louder than others. For example, the OB-6 sometimes sounds louder than the others, because of its inherently hotter levels driving into its internal mixer, despite reading similar levels on the meter. It's a fine balance to get the levels close, without overcompressing the master audio file, so I went for as transparent of a recording as possible, so keep that in mind if you have issues with level matching.

0:00 - intro, what we are doing today
1:04 - same patch compared on all 3 synths

An industrial drumkit for the Modor DR-2 (no external FX, no talk)


video upload by Richard DeHove

"The original concept for the DR-2 saw it as an enhanced 909. That's pretty much irrelevant now as the DR-2 has been developed into something far deeper. Yet you can still see traces of its origins in the step entry and many of the core sounds. Personally I'm not a fan of the 909 mainly because it keeps you penned into a defined territory of sound where weirdness is not allowed. I like odd sounds in my drum machines.

I think the great balancing act with drum machines is between providing immediate excellent drum sounds, and providing enough tweakable range to allow genuine sound design and experimentation. At one end you have untweakable machines like the 606; at the other extreme are samplers where the range becomes so vast you can get distracted by endless sample banks. One solution is to have both, but that leads to different problems where you have too many one-trick machines.

Where does the DR-2 sit? You can certainly feel it's 909 roots in that those sorts of kits and sounds fall out of the machine with almost no effort. You can hear that sound in many DR-2 demos: tight bass drums with rimshots, hats and snappy snares. But the parameters are wide enough, and the available drum models weird enough, that you can get away from that quite easily.

That was the aim here: Can the DR-2 move into a more industrial sound without any external processing? It's easy enough to dirty things up with fuzz and EQ, but what about the raw sound?

In the two demo tracks I use a single set of drum models (from left to right): Tom, Ride cymbal, Noise bassdrum, Claps, Claps, and Rumble bassdrum. Each pattern has a slightly tweaked version of those same drum models saved as a kit. I've used the internal tilt filter, parametric EQ and distortion. I'm not game to use the compressors yet - I still need to learn how to tame them.

On the first track I start with just two sounds and am using a polyrhythmic clock in 8/12 time on channel 3. It gives an unsettling feel and constant variation to what is otherwise a simple 16-step pattern.

Of course there's no processing or effects other than what you see. It's pure DR-2. Even the volume between patterns is unaltered.

(And as per the thumbnail image: The DR-2 needs an all-black version).

Additional NOISEBUG Listings

"Streichfett combines the best of the previously extinct species of String Synthesizers of the 70s and early 80s. Its dual sound engine features a fully polyphonic strings section and an eight voice solo section, which is essential for recreating classic movie sounds from the 70s and 80s. The Ensemble Effect provides depth and movement to the String Section, while the Effects section adds adjustable Phaser and Reverb. Additionally, the Animate Effect can be used to modulate the strings registration, allowing spectacular sound morphs. The Solo Section offset presets named Bass, E-Piano or Clavi, and just like in your typical string machine, the sound has little to do with that name. Instead, these are shimmering and slightly percussive sounds that blend well with the string section.

Although the User Interface is simple and easy to comprehend, it controls a rather complex sound engine which is capable to deliver rich and creamy pads unlike any other instrument."

"Although it's Sequential's "beginner" synth, as with any Sequential product, it offers a boat load of features and functionality. It's got a 49 key key-bed, 6 voices of single oscillator polyphony, and a unison mode to have a tone even fatter than 20 sausage fattener plugins stacked on top of each other. The synth itself is in great shape aside from its power cable's shielding being pulled out of its strain relief. Quite an easy fix if you feel comfortable taking your synth apart!"

the Power of 2 x LYRA-4 (SOMA labs demo)


video upload by SOMA Laboratory

"Reissue of the legendary synth!"

"We present to your attention the revived version of LYRA-4, organismic synthesizer, the younger sister of the famous LYRA-8. “Organismic” means that LYRA uses some principles that lie in the base of living organisms. The way how LYRA’s modules interacting between each other and the behaviour of the instrument resembles a live conversation. It’s smaller and weighs less but is equally rugged in design, and still packs a lot of punch. This makes it easy to fit in a backpack and perfect for taking the LYRA sound on the road. And playing two LYRA-4s can actually sound very different than just one LYRA-8.

LYRA-4 is based on four generators, which will be referred to as voices. Their design is not like a traditional subtractive synthesis VCO. Instead of having a linear or logarithmic dependency on control voltage, they resemble the tone generators in old electric organs. Hence the use of the term “voices” instead of “VCOs”. Lyra uses non-linearity a lot, and the voices are constructed in such a way that allows for non-linearity to express itself.

The voices are divided into two pairs (12, 34), creating tree-like structure.

The voices can function either in an electric organ mode or in an FM synthesis mode with each of the voices and its envelope acting as a separate FM operator. The voice’s impact on FM synthesis will decrease along with the decay of its envelope.

LYRA-4 also has the next blocks:

The HYPER LFO is a complex low-frequency generator, whose waveform is synthesized from two simple LFOs by summation or multiplication of their frequencies. It also has a sync mode. The LFO can modulate the selected pairs of voices and the MOD DELAY.

The MOD DELAY consists of delay with feedback. The delay has a unique possibility of self-modulation where the output signal modulates the delay sample rate, creating cool effects.

The DISTORTION is last in the chain, after the delay. It enables the delay to also influence the distortion.

For all its experimental character, LYRA is a professional instrument. Its output dynamics and frequency response are balanced and ready for a live performance or studio recording without any additional processing.

Colors: Black and White. Yin and Yang 🙂"
