Sons of the Arpy: Roland SH-2, System-500, Deckard's Voice, FX Aid Pro, Mimeophon, G-Storm Electro

video upload by thesrabbit

"The SH-2 has some kind of power over me. I can't get away from it. Not that I want to!

This is the first time I've tried adding a 3rd oscillator to the SH-2 by running a single Roland System-500 512 square with PWM into the external audio input. I thought this would naturally lead to making a massive 3 detuned osc + sub monosynth sound, but instead I gravitated to something much more melodic, by setting up each oscillator at a different pitch, making chords with nice intervals. With the ability to set the bender to VCO 2 only, I can change the interval of one of the notes easily, either up or down, without disrupting the vibe at all. The T-Rex Replicator tape delay adds some echo and gritty texture, and then the Make Noise Mimeophon delay fans it out into the stereo field. The sequence of notes is a simple 4 note arp that I transpose with the NiftyKeyz. The mod wheel is assigned to tape delay time, and the arp clock output is fed into a 2HP clock divider, which drives the kick, though half a beat behind because that's how clock dividers work I guess. The kick is a simple decay envelope routed to the G-Storm Electro SH-2 VCF with a moderate amount of resonance and saturation. There's an additional percussive element with some noise going to the G-Storm SH-5 VCF, through the LP first and then the dedicated bandpass which is being swept by an LFO.

The Blade Runner-ish lead sound is of course the Black Corporation Deckard's Voice, paired with the Rachael ring modulator, though it's not being used as a ring-mod, but rather a second sawtooth oscillator. 2 saws are essential to the BR sound, and therefore the Rachael is a required addition to Deckard's Voice. The output runs into the Happy Nerding FX Aid Pro set to the Black Cloud reverb algorithm, which completes the sound.

There's just a tiny dash of master reverb in post that serves as the final glue to hold it all together."

Crashing down | Moog Minimoog, Sequentix Cirklon, Sequential Prophet 10, DSI Prophet 12, Nord Drum 2

video upload by MIDERA

"I was considering selling the Minimoog. Kept talking to friends about how I just didn't like it. I don't know why, I guess maybe it was like with the Prophet 10, where it's just a lot of money and it doesn't really seem to do anything that much better than what I already have. One of my friends said 'Well, have you tried sequencing it?' And no... I hadn't. I got the Minimoog when one of my cats died, then I rehomed my dog, and then my mom died. The whole next year (2024) I spent scanning photos in of my parent's. Only now have I started to get back into things. Well, I decided to try it out and wow, I really enjoyed it - the Minimoog sounds pretty amazing. So this is my first track with it sequenced.

I'm also working on trying to get more proficient with the Cirklon, and I've gotten a little hold on using it.

Parts:
Moog Minimoog: Bass
DSI Prophet 12: Bells
Sequential Prophet 10: Pads
Clavia Nord Drum 2: Drums
Sequentix Cirklon: Sequencing
Native Instruments Raum: Reverb"

"Alternate Paradox" (a Death Stranding alternative soundtrack | Novation Summit)

video upload by No Lake

"Such a weird game. Hated by some and idolized by others. But he leaves no one indifferent. And it is an inspiration for new musical creations.
Remixing one of the original tracks wouldn't have made much sense, so I went for a completely new mood and I came up with something totally different but with my signature sound.

Headphones recommended 🎧 (I mean, really^^)"

Novation K-station - Bank 300-399 n°1

video upload by Jake

"The Novation K-station synthesizer, a descendant of the legendary Supernova, is renowned for its distinctive late 90s techno trance sound. But it would be wrong to limit it to this use only. Thanks to its advanced sound architecture with its three oscillators, the FM, the Ring modulator, and its precise 12-24 dB filter (nicknamed "Liquid filter"), it is capable of exploring the sonic worlds of legendary analog and digital machines with a very convincing result.

This library contains 100 new sounds for the Novation K-station synthesizer.
It covers a wide range of sound styles:
Arpeggios
Synthesizer basses
Large pads
Classic polyphonic sounds from the 70s & 80s
Special effects

Here is the 'Swiss Army Knife No. 1' library that will transform your little K-station.


You can buy it here : https://www.synthonia.com/marketplace...

This library occupies slots 300-399. If you have any sounds you care about in this location, be sure to move them or make a backup.

You can also load this library on the following synthesizers:
X-station
KS4, KS5, KS-rack

SEQtrak FUNK from scratch!

video upload by Jeremy Parker

"In my quest for an even smaller, more portable DAWless setup, I have been using the Yamaha SEQtrak and Arturia Minilab 3. The Seqtrak by itself is usable, and the companion app is very handy, but pairing it with the Minilab 3 makes live jamming pretty fun! Here's a funky tune I put together from scratch, enjoy!

Also, check out this sweet 3D-printed stand I just made for the SEQtrak and Minilab, which you can see in the video: https://www.printables.com/model/9907..."

It is a 220v version but includes the power converter. Works and sounds great."

Music Production Gear that is still TOO CHEAP!!!

video upload by AudioPilz

"In this video we are going to talk about music production gear that is still too cheap. There has been a lot of social media drama about a music technology company ripoff or scam so I thought it is about time to put a focus on synths , grooveboxes and drum machines that are - in my opinion - seriously undervalued.

Most of the products we are taking a look at today have been discontinued so the main metric will be used prices on Reverb but some of these electronic music instruments are still available new for astonishingly affordable prices.

Introducing S.B.G-PRO by ALM

video upload by ALM TV

"The 'S.B.G-PRO' is a versatile utility module designed to flexibly integrate Eurorack systems with external audio equipment. Here we take a look at its features using the MFX Pedal to demonstrate.

It supports mono, stereo, balanced, and unbalanced input and output via 6.35mm jacks with level matching controls and clipping indication. The module features both direct and voltage-controlled equal power crossfading between wet and dry sources.

Additionally, an expression input, along with the included ‘floating ring’ cable and conditioned output, ensures safe, voltage-limited CV control of external devices from your modular system.

The module extends its sibling, the original S.B.G, by adding full size stereo balanced jack connections and voltage control focusing more on connectivity with not just pedals but also pro audio equipment including rack effects, 500 Series modules and mixing consoles.

The S.B.G-PRO is available alongside the original S.B.G, which is still available for compact pedal integration in mono.

Available NOW from fine ALM stockists worldwide."
