Roland Cloud XV-5080 - "Planet XV" Soundset

video upload by LFOstore

"The legendary Roland XV-5080 synthesizer is back with a virtual Roland Cloud version!

BUY: https://lfo.sellfy.store/p/roland-clo...

Back to 2000s XV series was one of the most powerful digital modules with its flexible engine & beautiful sound combined with great set of effects & drums.

Why its so cool?

Cause besides pianos, bells, cowbells & cheesy accordions, GM applause and Bang! presets - its capable to create great analog sounds, the deepest ambient textures, great moving sequences.

Its like a hardware 'Omnisphere' synth with huge effort.

So – what was our first desire when we get our black box?
To create our own soundset for the legend with modern approach ofcourse!

So here it is: 'Planet XV' Soundset by LFO.store team: Nick Klimenko & Kirill Polikashin.

128 presets splitted on:

Vintage analog-like basses & modern digital wavetable
Vintage & Modern leads (yes, Klaus Schulze spirit also there)
Deepest ambient pads, space drones & tonal soundscapes
Modern sequences you never heard or seen before on JV
Beautiful bells, plucks & rhytmic structures
Fx's with modular approach (cause, why not?)
Great emulations of classic legends: Moog, Jupiter, JX-series, CS & others.

Enjoy the sounds and rediscover XV world with our soundset!"

Perfect Pads - Soundset for Waldorf Protein

video upload by WaldorfMusicChannel

"https://waldorfmusic.com/produkt/soun...

This inaugural Protein soundset brings the acclaimed Perfect Pads series – previously available for the Waldorf Iridium and Quantum – to Waldorf’s newest synthesizer Protein.

Featuring 32 meticulously crafted pad presets designed to showcase the full depth and character of the Protein sound engine. Drawing on the powerful synthesis architecture of the Protein and rich wavetable palette, this collection delivers some of the widest, warmest, and most expressive pads available on the Waldorf Protein. Each patch is immediately playable and musically inspiring, making the pack ideal for a wide range of genres – from ambient and cinematic to electronic and experimental – while also providing an excellent starting point for further tweaking and sound design.

Harry van Mierloo is an emerging international sound designer and creative design professional from the Netherlands. He blends the sound of classic analog synthesizers with the power of modern machines – perfect for artists seeking highly usable patches or fresh inspiration as a starting point for everyday day studio work. For many years, Harry has been fascinated by the wonderfully rich and emotional touch that pad sounds can add to music. He has now crafted and released his second official soundset called ‘Perfect Pads 2’ for the Iridium & Quantum."

Make Noise Multiwave // First contact outside the NUSS

video upload by Dexba

"The Make Noise Multiwave is here, and... wow!
There is a very tangible cleverness in the design of these new NUSS modules, and I am all for it. This video is just a very brief first contact, testing the water, before diving into it when (when?) Polimaths will join the party.
What are your opinions about the "necessity" of a dual QXG?
Anyway, I hope you'll enjoy the sound; no talking here, because when I was deciding on the purchase, I didn't find many videos with it."

Bad Gear - He tried his best to HATE IT

video upload by AudioPilz

[Funny side note: I just saw that episode of Myth Busters with the truck plowing through cars, just yesterday.]

"Welcome to Bad Gear, the show about the world’s most-hated audio tools. There are a few learnings to be taken from years of ploughing through music production gear like an 80s rock band shopping in a liquor store: don’t believe the hype, everything has been done before and never trust a stylish instrument sold with the promise to give you all you need in a compact form factor without compromising sound quality and usability.

Today we are going to talk about Dirtywave M8. This hardware tracker and mini DAW comes with more red flags than the average dating app experience like a cult-like following, a Game Boy-inspired workflow and believe me - I tried my best to hate it.

From Techno to Whitney // Hexdrums Sound Demos

video upload by Starsky Carr

"Pristine to Filthy ... 11 Erica Synths Hexdrums Patterns covering different styles from gabber to Whitney Houston! I wanted to show. range of tones - from dirty fat techno juice to silky 808 style smoothness. With a lot of tweaking in an attemot to show the full range.. those kicks are MASSIVE!

It comes with some preset patch sheets to get you up and running as well as some empty ones to record your own favourite settings. I play most of the 'presets' and make some of my own to show it doesn't have to be a wall of sound. simple and sparse sounds amazing too."

Ensoniq ESQ-1 Analog/Digital Polyphonic Synthesizer Workstation w/ Cartridge SN ESQ-35724-D

Note: links to listings are affiliate links for which the site may be compensated.

via this eBay listing

"This listing is for a vintage 1980's Ensoniq ESQ-1 Analog/Digital Polyphonic Synthesizer Workstation that comes with an Ensoniq Sequencer Expander Cartridge and power cord. This synthesizer is in good physical and working condition. The winning bidder will receive exactly what is pictured.

The Ensoniq ESQ-1 is a 61-key, velocity sensitive, eight-note polyphonic and multitimbral synthesizer released by Ensoniq in 1985. It was marketed as a "digital wave synthesizer" but is actually an early music workstation. Although its voice generation is typically subtrative in much the same fashion as most analog synthesizer that preceded it, its oscillators are neither voltage nor digitally controlled, but true digital oscillators, provided by a custom Ensoniq wavetable chip. The signal path includes analog resonant low-pass filters and an analog amplifier.

Sunset Ambient on a DIY synth

video upload by KellerDev

"Generative sequence on DIY eurorack analog synthesizer. The sequence is quantized to major scale. It has 16 steps, each of which can have up to 8 subdivisions. The sequencer plays them with some random variations. 4 LFOs control filter cutoff, PWM of the oscillator and feedback of the reverb. The delay module that uses the Daisy Seed board is the only digital effect."

Roland MC-303 | 160BPM DNB

video upload by Akihiko Matsumoto

"In modern production, the most interesting results often come not from layers of weight and power but from the spaces in between. The Roland MC-303, released in the late 1990s, carried this idea into the hands of producers worldwide. Its tones are not always fat or saturated. Instead, they are brittle, sometimes almost hollow. Yet when placed inside today’s dense arrangements, these sounds can cut through with surprising precision and rhythmic character.
