"There’s a new HiChord update, and it adds a few new features, including a sampler functionality.
In this video, I focus on the sampler: how to upload samples using the Companion App, and start playing them inside HiChord using different modes like Arp and Repeat, plus the built-in effects.
The sampler is still pretty basic for now (hope the team will improve it in the long run) but it already has a lot of character. Between the effects, slight glitches, and lo-fi artifacts, you can get some really interesting sonic textures out of it.
I didn’t have time to explore every new feature in this update, so this video sticks to the sampler only.
"They can see it all from up there, but are they real? What would you do if you could fly? would you be scared of falling? These are all questions I addressed in todays jam. Hope thats ok.
Sincerely
Daniel.

"Watch him first add some random fills with the Random Fun FX. Then he gets really i to it with the Roll Fun Fx to mash up the beat beyond recognition 😎
Is PlayFader the best jungle breaks mash-up sequencer? OK, big claim, and we’re not that bigheaded, but we definitely think PlayFader is one of the most expressive and versatile sequencers out there.
Don’t program your music… play it!
Patch notes: Playfader controls the first channel of Digitakt in slice mode, with the Think break loaded. Moving the fader enables us to play different slices of the break, and the second channel plays a chord stab sample (but PF can also play lush chords over MIDI). We add a sprinkle of Random Fun FX at the end of each bar to create some dynamic fills, then we switch to the Roll Fun FX and catch little loops at each press of Play, setting and changing the time division on the fly to mash up the beat pattern and bring the heat 🔥
He’s also using our unique Window Latch function to free up more fingers for playing. With Window Latch you don’t need to keep hold any button combos down along the top row. It’s a powerful performance feature!
PlayFader includes 7 FUN FX modes which allow you to take your patterns to extreme new places and back again at the push of a button… the FUN button!
"I’m pleased to inform you that Fred’s Lab just released my 50 Tooro Custom Patches [Bank 1].
You can listen to them in high resolution (24bit 96kHz PCM WAV masters, FLAC encoded) on my site (optimized for Chrome on MacOS and Windows): https://synthnyc.com/index.php/album/freds-lab-tooro-custom-patches-bank-1/
All recorded at 24bit 96kHz PCM on UAD Apollo X hardware with mostly UAD FX.
All patches have been created from scratch using my TouchOSC bidirectional editor for the Tooro:
https://vimeo.com/1148477983
Most patches have MW, Velocity, AT and PB configured.
All patches have their volume normalized, so there is no audio jumping from going to one patch to the next.
All patches have been named, though you will need an editor that supports this Tooro feature, or you can simply see it using SYSEX Librarian.
As usual, I’ve tried to highlight what I think is unique about the Tooro. I particularly like the Shaper (analog) filter which I think blends beautifully with the digital oscillators.
Also the LFOs AM mode is quite interesting when combined with a LFO Rise value.
This synth has a lot of (strong) character; like the Modal 002 and Super 6 to give an example of hybrid synths with (strong) character (IMHO); but sounds completely different.
I hope you’ll enjoy those 50 Tooro Custom Patches as much as I’ve enjoyed programming them.
Everything is recorded in and with:
@bitwig Studio - I used their excellent arpeggiator and the smooth hardware integration. More information can be found here: https://bitwig.com
@Sinevibes
I used the excellent plugins Vague, Hollow, and Integer. More information can be found here: https://sinevib.es"
"The Buchla 259t by Tiptop Audio is my favourite complex Vco, in this video I am exploring its sounds with some explanation. The timbers and all the modulation of this modules are just incredible! Let me know what you think of it in the comments."
"Not really a song, more really just two grown men arguing about trackers. Who can tracker the most tracks? Who has the biggest tracker? Whose tracker is loudest? All important questions that need to be answered. Hold kjeft dette hakke du no greie på! #polyendtracker x2 #rolandp6 #op1"

"We get a tour of the Chordcat. In addition to featuring "cat" in its name, this eight-track groovebox has a large library of chord progressions, and the ability to predict/suggest follow-on chords to your current harmony in a palette from which the composer can then choose. It has built-in sounds as well as the ability to export MIDI to DAWs and other software for further development of compositions.
145 Sound Presets + 16 drum kits Designed for a wide range of genres, you can spark fresh ideas during the creative process by switching between 145 sound presets and 16 drum kits. Tune your sound presets however you like them using the low-pass filter and amp envelope. These parameters can be automated for each pattern, allowing you to dynamically change the tone as well as the chord progression. This allows you to create lively phrases.
Easily make unique chord progressions
Chord Cruiser Mode Generate up to 110,000 chord combinations that you can use to create your own progressions. Put the groovebox in Chord Cruiser mode, and an exclusive algorithm selects and suggests multiple musically compatible chords from its database. You can listen to these chords and assign your favorite to a keyboard, triggering the next suggestion automatically. With this intuitive workflow at your fingertips, you can enjoy a simple process to create original tracks.
Versatile arrangement features and intuitive instrument control
3 built-in effects Manipulate 3 built-in effects intuitively using the XY pad: Arpeggiator: Creates melodies from chords. Delay: Adds depth to sounds and spatial dimension to your music. Ducker: Adds dynamics and emphasis, creating a sense of movement in your tracks.
Running Direction Feature Change the playback direction of 4×4 step-sequenced patterns by pressing a single button. Choose from 4 options — right, down, clockwise, and counterclockwise — to discover new phrases and rhythms. This feature unlocks new ideas, so you can create innovative chord progressions or explore rhythms across different genres.
Key and scale settings When you set a key and scale on Chordcat, only the notes that belong to the selected key and scale are mapped to the keyboard. The compatibility of chords suggested in Chord Play mode or Chord Cruiser mode and the selected key and scale are indicated by LED lights; perfect for beginners and professional musicians.
Versatile connectivity: Expand your creative horizons
It’s easy to integrate Chordcat with external synthesizers and DAW software on PC/Mac computers thanks to its MIDI OUT/THRU, MIDI IN, and USB Type-C ports.
Use Chord Play and Chord Cruiser modes to control and perform with your connected devices effortlessly.

Here's my latest concoction from the studio featuring the Rhodes EK10 MKIII, @NordKeyboards Stage 4, @KorgOfficial miniKORG 700fs, @ArturiaOfficial Polybrute, Hohner Clavinet E7 and @MoogSynthesizers Minitaur. The Rhodes is going through the @rhodesmusic V-Pan plugin during most of the tune, with the solo section using a Line 6 Echo Park and ElectroHarmonix C0ckfight wah-wah pedal. The Nord is using "Swiss Lead" from J3PO's Nord Stage patches @iamj3po . The Clav is going through the Electroharmonix C0ckfight pedal as well. I programmed all drums and used Addictive Drums 2. Enjoy!"
"The music here was captured directly from the back of the Amiga. For the video, I had trouble with capturing the monitor output and composite looked terrible, so I pointed a camera at the little telly and it seems fine.
The .mod file (actually .med) should play on a variety of players but your mileage may vary. It'll sound best using Octamed Player. It sounds good to me in Hippo, but not so good in Eagle (distorted, for reasons I don't understand). It also plays on modern computers in players such as VLC, but it does seem that that's not respecting the proper volume attenuations that I've set for each instrument. https://peacockmedia.software/misc/An...
