Craig Padilla - First Light Over Aurora (Live) - MST/Division6, MatrixBrute, MPC ONE, Modx M

PayPal.me/CraigPadillaMusic

Trick or treat! Here we go again with another live performance in the studio! This time it's inspired by the spirit of Halloween! And, once again, it's been captured on video by Colleen Padilla.

'First Light Over Aurora' was performed in front of my wife's parents. Colleen had suggested that they should be here for this recording because they hadn't personally experienced one of my live performances. Thankfully, they enjoyed it. And their energy in the room during the performance was inspiring. It's always a treat for me to be able to play my music for others in a live setting.

This song features heavy use of four synthesizers and effects:
Akai MPC ONE
Yamaha MODX M7
Synthrotek MST & Division 6 Modular with Source Audio Collider
Arturia MatrixBrute
Hologram Microcosm
TC Electronics Ditto X4

The Mattson Mini Modular and ARP 2500 Sequencer modules are here on display, but they were used for another epic track, 'The Trench Protocol'.

This song will be available on my new live album 'The Trench Protocol - Live'. It's available at www.CraigPadilla.com."

Press release follows:

49 full-size semi-weighted keys, expanded panel controls, and a pressure-sensitive XYZ touch matrix bring a new physical dimension to the Freak architecture, while Audio-rate Filter FM and Voice Panning extend its sonic reach - making shaping a patch and playing it feel like the same act.

_Explore the unconventional

Two digital engines. Analog Filters and VCAs per voice. A restless appetite for experimentation. MiniFreak 49 puts the familiar and the unruly within reach, from rich polyphonic textures to fractured rhythms and abrasive harmonics. Play a chord, reach for a control, press into the matrix. Playing a patch is only the beginning.

_Touch, press, transform

The new XYZ touch matrix brings performance, modulation, and navigation onto one surface.

Assign modulation with direct, color-coded feedback, swipe through presets, or watch reactive visualizers follow your playing.

Switch to Freak Control and put the sound under your fingers.

Push a Macro further, tighten the Gate, or use Spice to introduce variation.

Bipolar and vector layouts let you move between contrasting settings and blend across four corners, with pressure adding a third dimension of expression.

_That's not all

Room to play

49 full-size semi-weighted keys with velocity and mono aftertouch give chords, melodic lines, and two-handed performances room to breathe. Aluminum pitch and modulation wheels keep expression under your left hand.

Push every sound further

Audio-rate Filter FM from either engine adds harmonics, grit, and vocal-like textures. Dedicated Type, Wave, Timbre, and Shape controls, plus three selection shortcuts per oscillator, make sound shaping more immediate.

Six voices in stereo

Voice Panning spreads individual voices across the stereo field, adding width to chords and spatial movement to sequences.

MiniFreak 49

Three FX slots, each with a dedicated access button and 13 algorithms, cover everything from chorus and reverb to distortion and vocoder processing.

The Freak architecture

Two digital engines offer 30+ oscillator modes, with algorithms from Arturia, Mutable Instruments and Noise Engineering. Blend their sounds or use Engine 2 to process Engine 1, then shape each voice through its own resonant analog filter.

Shape every step

A 64-step sequencer and four modulation lanes keep notes and timbres in motion. Long-press a step to adjust its length and velocity on the touch matrix. Add arpeggiator ratchets and repeats, or introduce fresh variations with Spice & Dice.

Your Freak in the DAW

Included MiniFreak V brings the hardware’s sound and architecture into your DAW, with preset management and bidirectional control. The MiniFreak 49-compatible version is exclusive to registered MiniFreak 49 hardware owners.

The Filternator from Kanawha Music & Art - vintage-inspired resonator

video upload by CatSynth TV

"We look at the Filternator from Kanawha Music and Art, a Eurorack module designed to recreate the sound and behavior of vintage high-Q filters or resonators, like those found in instruments like the Solovox. It's circuit is based on capacitors and inductors, which can be switched on and off to change the frequency and resonance of the module. It is also passive and doesn't require any power.

We take a close look at its behavior with a controlled oscillator signal from our trusty Arturia MiniBrute 2, including CV-based mix modulation. We then try it out with an electronic organ sound from our Cherry Audio Blue3.

Boy Harsher’s Augustus Muller: A feeling on repeat with AstroLab and V Collection

video upload by Arturia

"Augustus Muller’s music draws much of its force from repetition: a frontal bassline, a clipped drum pattern, a synth shaped until it can hold an arrangement together.

We joined him in the studio to discuss the beginnings of that exploration, the collaborations behind his music and the practical work of bringing a record onstage. Through familiar Boy Harsher sounds, Safe Mind material and ideas written on the road, he shows how AstroLab and V Collection connect the different settings in which his music takes shape."

AstroLab 2.0: It's a Proper Synth Now?

video upload by Sineway

"AstroLab 2.0 goes straight at the biggest criticism of the AstroLab: that it's just a preset player, not a proper synth. The headline feature is Sound Edit, which gives you real synth parameters like envelopes, filter and glide right from the front panel, and you don't need a computer or the V Collection license to use it. So is the AstroLab still just a keyboard full of presets, or is it starting to become something else?

Arturia gave me early access to the update, so I've had time to dig into it before release. In this video I show how Sound Edit changes from preset to preset depending on the engine underneath, revisit the AstroLab vs MiniFreak question now that both instruments have changed, and play some of the presets in a musical context.
