"Phantasmal Force can be purchased here:

Exploring the Ono-Sendai from @spherical_sound_society.

Crazy futuristic voices and chirping bitscapes.

About halfway through, I engage the Phantasmal Force to automate the XY pad of the NTS-3 so I can go back to turning knobs on the Ono."

KAWAI K3 - Synthesizer Review, Sounds & Demo

video upload by synth4ever

"The Kawai K3 is a 6-voice digital analog hybrid synthesizer. It has 33 waveforms, including one additive waveform that can be edited and saved. It also features 2 oscillators, noise, an SSM filter and envelope, VCA and envelope, an LFO with multiple waveshapes (routable to oscillator, filter or VCA) and it has a velocity and aftertouch sensitive keyboard. It unfortunately does not have oscillator sync, PWM, ring modulation or a mod wheel.

The Kawai K3 synth has 7 different types of effects (6 chorus, 1 delay), keyboard tracking, portamento, mono mode (unison), and MIDI in/out/thru. Despite the membrane panel buttons, it is fairly quick to edit with the jogwheel. The build quality is substantial thanks to the metal frame.

The Kawai K3 is somewhat obscure and is great for dark pads, icy tones, PPG-style timbres, bell sounds, basses and related wavetable types of sounds. It was competing with the Korg DW-8000 but also other synths including the Yamaha DX7, Roland Alpha Juno and Roland JX-8P. It has its own distinct sonic character and can also be expanded up to 12 voices by poly-chaining it to the K3M rack (spillover mode).

The Kawai K3 is a great 80s hybrid synthesizer and can still be found on the 2nd hand market. With more recent 3rd party controllers, you can also add knobs to the synth for enhanced real-time control. If you have the chance to try a Kawai K3 I would recommend it, especially if you like PPG Wave types of sounds."

RoaF Modular - Welcome | Generative Modular Synth Ambient

video upload by ChiaroBen

"Played some more with the ALA Monsoon this time - a drone from Moog Mavis is recorded into Monsoon after some wavefolding, and then put through some heavy reverb. A heavily (self-)modulated Maths is opening the VCA channel. The melody comes from ALA Beehive into the Void algorithm from TTA Zverb, while the aux out goes through ALA Benjolin (with the filter being modulated bei Benjolin's Rungler) and into pico DSP's delay.
The v/oct from ALA Steps quantized by Shakmat Bard Quartet, with the harmonies switched by RitS QUA through Noise Engineering Vice Verga. I used the trigger input on the Beehive for the first time, with the ochd expander providing the triggers.

Remember - music is powerful.

Marius Leicht - Windhauch (Oberheim Eight Voice)

video upload by Marius Leicht

https://www.mariusleicht.com/sp/klang-evs/

"I was invited to GForce Software's incredible synthesizer studio in England and gratefully recorded a whole album with this synthesizer of my and many other's dreams.

This piece was one of the first things I played with the beauty. A free improvisation inspired by being kissed by the sun while having a marvellous British Teatime.

Check out the album at the link above."

Teach Them To Rumble And They Will Destroy Speakers Forever

video upload by EZBOT

"Both of these machines are amazing. The Syntakt is the "jack of all trades" synthesizer, offering analog synthesis, drums, and digital voices like the "chord" machine. The Digitakt II is the newest sampler from Elektron. It offers 16 tracks of stereo sampling, 400 MB of RAM, and a 20 GB SSD. Not to mention, you can load hundreds of samples in a single project. This sampler is an absolute beast. There is so much more to it, too. Today we use these boxes and make what I playfully refer to as Rumble Techno or Warehouse Techno. The session was a blast—maybe you'll learn something new about your Elektron box. Who knows?"
