"'Destination' features noise modulation from the Prophet-5.
All sounds have some kind of modulation applied to them.
It's called 'passionate cross modulation.'

t-formant - First look and tutorial

video upload by soundmachines

"T-FORMANT
The long awaited series of modules based on the success of the LS1Lightstrip, it's finally here!

t-formant is the successor of the RB1robotto formant filter, with added capabilities and 2 more FXs included!

CHAPTERS:
00:00 - Quick interface explanation
01:12 - How it works
03:29 - Using the sliders
05:50 - Recording automations and the reset input
08:52 - The internal VCO
10:33 - Switching EXT IN/VCO demo"

t-formant takes the concept of merging modulation sources and destinations into a single module.

Collecting the heritage of our discontinued module RB1robotto, T-formant is a comprehensive formant filter and synthesizer. Its capability to filter external signals is layered with the possibility, when the user applies a CV signal to the relevant input, to generate its own base tone. Adding to the base parameters of formant-type and peak resonance, you can also add flanging and distortion to the output, creating a wide palette of vocal based sounds.

Maximum automation recording length of 20s for each parameter.

Vowel based filter with bypass, formant selection and peak resonance knob.

Process external audio, with formant filtering, flanger or distortion effects, from subtle to heavy sound mangling.

If nothing is patched on its input, T- formant can be used an oscillator following V/Oct standard.

The integrated touch lightstrip controllers can drive four parameters with looping or one-shot recording playback mode on each track with global RESET input.

Features:
•Vowel formant filter and synth voice
•Four channels parameters recorder
•Up to 20 seconds automation recording time
•Looping, One shot and Hold modes for automations
•CV input and physical control for parameters
•Process external audio by filtering, flanging and distortion
•Bypass effect, Resonance Peak and Formant control

•Current draw: 150 mA (+12 V) / 20 mA (-12 V)
•Width: 8 HP
•Depth: 34 mm

Hainbach - Breve (Seil Records 061, 2024)

video upload by HAINBACH

"Breve is Hainbach’s eighth release on Seil Records. It is an album that manifests the Berlin based artist’s love for vintage electronic gear like few others - and creates a world of dense soundscapes like only Hainbach can built them. At the core of Breve lies the Ondioline, a tube based key instrument from the 1930s that is considered to be the ancestor of todays synthesizers. Paired with a handful of other analog synths and recorded in single takes straight to tape,

Breve is raw and beautiful; intense, yet calming.
You can feel the heat generated by the equipment, the hands-on approach and the pure enjoyment of living in each sonic moment throughout the album. The 10 tracks that make up Hainbach’s new album range from intimate to vast, from fragile to walls of sound. Often rhythmic, always free. Cherishing each fleeting sound that is captured by the tape machine.

The result is an album that celebrates pure analog sound. Best enjoyed on vinyl, cassette or on stage. Breveis released on September 17th, 2024 via Seil Records on Vinyl, Cassette Tape and Digital (Downloads are free/name-your-price for the first two weeks) via Bandcamp. Streaming platforms will follow on in October."

"This is soundpack 'DAWN' with 64 ambient patches designed for the Roland JD-800.

All in all there are 64 ambient sounds in the package with smoking pads, grainy strings, organic drones and deep textures. No external effects were used in the demos. All effects are internal effects of the Roland JD-800.

L-1 Filters. First impressions. 24dB LP mode.

video upload by Aleksei Laman

"L-1 filters collection.

First impression on new L-1 filters. Now only 24dB LP mode, single saw wave input.

All filters are built from identical blocks but with different architectures (topologies). Building blocks are: L-1 original Discrete Blacksea gain cells (VCAs), and silver-mica capacitors (best capacitors for filters).

Filters:
DD VCF - Discrete Dual. Two 12dB State-Variable filters in series give 24dB/oct filtration.
DM VCF - Discrete Mulimode. Using double gain cells in State-Variable topology it gives 24dB/oct filtration.
DP VCF - Discrete Pole. Four poles filter gives 6, 12, 18, 24 dB LP outputs. Mixing the outputs it gives BP, HP, N (notch), DN (double notch) filtration.
DS VCF - Discrete Sallen-Key. Switching system (12 electronic switches used) switches between LP, BP and HP topologies.

This video is Part 2 of a two part series. This series picks up where my “System 55 Patching for Absolute Beginners” video left off [posted here]. The Behringer Quick Start Guide has six example patches. In this video, we create those patches and make observations about what's common to them and what is different.

Bad Gear - Fail to the King

video upload by AudioPilz

"Welcome to Bad Gear, the show about the world’s most-hated audio tools. Over the last 30 years Korg has released many iconic products worthy of a reissue: a Prophecy operable without a quantum physics degree, a new Kaoss Pad that actually works and maybe even an Electribe that deserves the name.

However, for reasons completely beyond my comprehension we need to talk about KingKorg Neo. This brand new virtual analog synth is basically identical to a more or less forgotten 2013 Korg instrument by the same name without the Matrix reference and is - just like its predecessor - a prime example for how to mess up both product launch timing and pricing strategy."
