Syntheus 1001: a double-suitcase full of vintage modular synthesis

video upload by manmade madman

"If you could pack everything you ever wanted into a modular synth, and then put it in a suitcase, chances are it would reference the EMS Synthi AKS/VCS from the 1970's. Recently companies have released hardware editions that sound glorious. There's even a monster ultimate reissue called Analogue Solutions Colossus which I'm sure sounds incredible. The original was notorious not only for its clean look and capabilities but weird sounds even Brian Eno said "...great for bug noises" but he used it for decades as an effects processor as well. We've taken issue with this... it CAN be musical!

Here we have the ultimate version: 6 free range oscillators, dual patch panels, vintage spring reverb, a joystick that lets you record motion and play it back, and a snapshot sequencer that gives you your sound-per-step, or bug noises if you'd rather! Vintage circuitry all along the way, down to the opamp modelling. You'll hear the crunch and occasional bleeding of the original 70's wiring. Thanks to our db-cell technology, you'll hear a vintage drift everywhere, but well under control. It's not static-- in fact its always surprising and always different, just like the originals.

Best of all, its actually FUN to use. Drop a pin and watch the patch cable show you the connection! Modulate where you couldn't before. EZ rolls in different sections, including the patch matrix. Make sounds, snap them to the clocked sequencer, and get going.

Make vintage inspired sounds from the future that surprise you. Make something musical.

Prove Eno wrong!

SYNTHEUS 1001

An unobtainable synth that’s a double-briefcase full of awesome.

Famously used by a ’70s producer who called it “great for bug noises.” Prove him wrong!

Two EMS Synthi-style synths strapped together in one case: six oscillators, two 16×16 pin matrices, two diode-ladder filter/oscillators, two envelope shapers, a random voltage generator, ring mods, a spring reverb and an octave filter bank. There are no menus to patch. Push a pin into a hole, and the sound goes there. Pull it out, and it stops.

M-Vave FM-1 | Do you really need custom Firmware anymore? | Official V16 Firmware

video upload by NatLife Sounds

You can find the M-VAVE FM-1 on Amazon.

"The sounds (presets) used in the video: https://natlifesounds.com/product/amb...

Official V16 Firmware: https://www.m-vave.com/download [links on bottom here]

Hello everyone!

Version V16 of the official firmware for the M-Wave FM-1 was recently released, and after using it for a while, I seriously wondered: Do I really need any other third-party firmware? The official firmware is the most stable, offering full stereo effects, multitimbral support, color gamut customization, a full 64-step sequencer, and much more that can't be found in third-party firmware.

And since the video didn't finish recording, I'd like to add: Do we really need custom firmware with incomprehensible code written by AI (which doesn't even understand sound synthesis)? Unfortunately, the video didn't finish recording, but that's exactly what I wanted to add in this video.

Timeline:
00:00 - Intro
00:53 - first Sequencer/Preset Demo 'SY Complx - Pattern 12'
01:47 - Analog sound demo with 'LD Jupiter - Ambient & Dreams V2'
03:15 - About 64-Sequencer
03:40 - 128 Effect Presets (in Stereo Effects)
04:33 - Global function Update
05:41 - How it will sounds now?
07:53 - "PLK Trance" in new Sequencer
08:43 - My thoughts about '3rd parties Firmwares'
09:55 - You can lost a quality of FM engine?
11:01 - FM Engine is the main thing of M-Vave FM-1
11:50 - My thoughts on all Firmwares
12:30 - Official V16 Firmware Pros
13:27 - The record was stopped (because the SD card is full :D)

BeatFriend drives the LXR-02: 10 patterns (no talk)

video upload by Richard DeHove

"As a standalone drum machine BeatFriend is instant fun. But with a limited kit range and mono output it won't suit everyone. Happily the MIDI outputs can drive other machines so here it is with the LXR-02. The tracks here are a mixture of BeatFriend output + LXR-02 output and sometimes just the LXR-02. There are no external effects or processing.

For me the LXR-02 is mainly a 'character' drum machine. It does weird sounds very well but takes a bit of work to get a really powerful driving thump - especially when raw. So a lot of what you hear are 'character' patterns. In future videos I'll be teaming it with other machines for a completely different end result. Yet even here it's amazing what a Bossa Nova can produce. The timestamp names are the pattern names from BeatFriend.

As usual with drum machines a mixture of monitor listening and headphones will show the full range of sound.

0:00 Rock Free
1:02 Bossa Nova
2:44 Tim O'Tay
4:13 Rock Free 2
5:46 Roquefort
6:45 Rock Won
7:53 Bossa Doble
9:39 Soda
10:52 Rock Too

Acousmatic Gestures with ReSynthesizer!

Almost any sound has a lot of unknowns hiding in it.

And the simple gesture of turning the knob at different speeds through larger or smaller portions of the Array lets us sort of inscribe the motion of our hand directly onto this sound, even if it had no rhythmic relation to it originally.

High Defininition Modular Colourizer / Posterizer Video FX Processor

video upload by LoFiFuture

https://www.lofifuture.shop/product/h...

"Yet to be named! This is a prototype I for a new type of glitch colourizer / posterizer I have been doing research and development on for the better part of a year. It takes your standard high definition signal and splits it into 7 differential pairs that can be disconnected one by one and re-patched in all the wrong ways! It provides a similar colourise effect to what I find in a lot of HD scalers, but takes it to a whole new level!

It will happily process a 1080p 60fps video signal as well as a bunch of lower resolutions.

There are 14 switches that disconnect the lines of data, 14 switches that bus and of these lines of data together and 28 3.5mm jacks that are the 14 differential and outputs.

A lot of colourise effects can be accessed with just the toggle switches, no need to patch any cables for quick fx!"

Elektron Tonverk is a Granular Ambient Machine - Sound Pack by A Force Truly Evil

video upload by A Force Truly Evil

"Available here: https:https://sci-fiaudio.com/product/granu...

EVOLVING MULTISAMPLED INSTRUMENTS AND PURPOSE-BUILT GRANULAR SOURCES FOR AMBIENT, ELECTRONICA & EXPERIMENTAL SOUND DESIGN.

Granular + Ambient contains 64 multisampled instruments — 16 Basses, 24 Pads, 16 Polyphonic instruments and 8 Arpeggios — built from 380+ carefully selected samples, together with 99 dedicated Granular Sources specifically created for Tonverk's granular engine.

The pack is built around two complementary approaches to sound design: rich, playable multisampled instruments and purpose-built material for granular synthesis**. The 64 multisampled instruments provide a broad collection of musical and atmospheric sounds, while the 99 Granular Sources are designed to give Tonverk's granular engine the detailed, varied material it needs to produce deep, evolving textures.

99 Granular Sources

The granular material is a central part of the pack. **These are not simply conventional samples intended to be processed afterwards. Each source has been specifically created with granular synthesis in mind**, combining internal tonal movement, evolving timbres, transients, harmonic variation, tonal shifts and contrasting textures.

This gives the granular engine plenty of interesting material to work with. A single source can be transformed into **long, evolving ambient passages, atmospheric soundscapes and complex textures**, with enough internal variation to remain interesting over time rather than becoming static or repetitive.

The sources can range from subtle, slowly moving atmospheres to dense, ethereal and highly animated granular textures. They are particularly effective for creating **long-form ambient sounds and evolving soundscapes from a single sample**, making them ideal for exploring Tonverk's granular synthesis capabilities.
