Kaitlyn Aurelia Smith: The shape of what remains with Rev OCEAN, MiniFreak and KeyStep

video upload by Arturia

"Kaitlyn Aurelia Smith’s music draws on classical training, years of exploration with modular synthesizers and a deeply physical relationship with sound. The American composer, producer and synthesist brings these experiences into intricate electronic arrangements, orchestral passages and a voice transformed through processing.

We joined Kaitlyn along Portugal's Atlantic coastline to explore her creative process, evolving sound and the ideas behind her forthcoming album, alongside a vivid performance of GTP! shaped with Rev OCEAN, MiniFreak and KeyStep.

RUIN: IT’S NOT JUST MUSIC is out October 2 on @someonespecialstudio."

He Put 6 Classic Synths Inside the MiniFreak

video upload by Starsky Carr

"Can the Arturia MiniFreak recreate the character of six classic synths? With the V5 update and custom wavetables, I’m bringing tones from the *Minimoog, Prophet-5, Juno-106, Jupiter-8, Korg DW-8000 and Oberheim OB-X into the MiniFreak.

There’s more to an oscillator than a perfect saw or square wave. We’ll hear how different source waveforms affect the sound, explore the Juno’s bass bump, and combine pulse, saw and sub waves for some properly vintage tones.

Along the way, I demonstrate importing wavetables, compare classic oscillator flavours and explain why holding back on modulation and effects can help capture that vintage character.

These aren’t exact emulations—the filters and envelopes still play their part—but there’s plenty of character to explore.

The vintage sound packs are available for MiniFreak and Serum on my website. For more patches, samples and tutorials, join me on Patreon.

Arturia Pure Sub Bass Machine - PatchFLIP

video upload by sonicstate

"We flip some patches with the ‪@ArturiaOfficial‬ Arturia Pure Sub, a monophonic bass synthesizer plug-in . It has a sub oscillator, a morphing additive harmonics generator with up to 32 partials, or a VA with morphing between waveforms , a texture engine, a filter, and up to twelve effects slots, plus a separate FX processor stage for detune, colour, presence and space.
Modulation comes from envelopes, function generators, randomisation and macros.

The sound sits firmly in modern bass territory, from Reese and wub to distorted 808s and hard front end, keeping weight in the low end while holding useful mid-range. Pure Sub is available now at 49 or 79 euros."

He put £15000 of Synths into SERUM and Pigments

video upload by Starsky Carr

"I sampled the Frap out of a Magnolia, an Analogue Solutions Maximus, a Pittsburgh Taiga, a Pittsburgh Voltage Lab 2, a Sequential Prophet VS, a Korg DW8000 and a Novation Peak — then chopped them into single cycle waves and turned them into 151 wavetables for Serum and Pigments.

£15,000 is roughly what those seven instruments would cost you, give or take. The pack is £15.

What's different here is what got sampled: full sweeps through the Magnolia's wavefolder, the Voltage Lab 2's complex oscillators, PWM across its whole range, the DW8000's 16 digital waves, the Prophet VS set. Not generic waveshapes — the actual character of specific, expensive, awkward instruments.

It started with a comment. Someone watched my Magnolia demo and asked how to get that tone out of their Peak. The short answer is you can't, because the oscillators don't start with the same harmonics. The long answer is this video.

Along the way I've used it as an excuse to go through the different ways a synth actually makes a tone — subtractive, FM, wavefolding and wavetable — and why the Magnolia can do three of them and the Peak can do the fourth. If you've ever wondered what people mean by East Coast and West Coast synthesis, start at 1:18."

1:18 Back to basics: the classic analog waveshapes
3:36 Subtractive synthesis, and why it's called East Coast

8:38 Three synthesis types in one synth — the Magnolia
