3. Cherry Audio | Introduction to ESQ-1 Synthesizer with Tim Shoebridge "Ensoniq ESQ-1 by Cherry Audio is a landmark virtual synthesizer that captures the essence and iconic sounds of the classic ESQ-1 polyphonic hybrid digital/analog synthesizer, perfectly timed for celebration of its 40th anniversary.

https://cherryaudio.com/products/esq-...

This plug-in features the original 32 waveforms, allowing it to faithfully recreate the complex, evolving, and richly textured sounds of the 1986 ESQ-1 in software form. Additionally, it comes with advanced features designed for today's musicians and producers. Its elegant design incorporates extensive modulation options, rhythmic pattern generation, and enhanced performance capabilities through polyphonic aftertouch and MIDI Polyphonic Expression (MPE). Ensoniq ESQ-1 also features a library of nearly 400 exceptional presets, including the original factory presets from the hardware, highlighting the best of both classic and all-new sounds.

In a first-of-its-kind collaboration, Cherry Audio partnered with Creative Technology, the current owner of the Ensoniq intellectual property, to obtain official licensing for the original 32 ESQ-1 waveforms for this release. Equally important, we meticulously emulated the sonic signature and behavior of the original hardware's legendary analog filters provided by the renowned CEM 3379 IC. We also precisely recreated its four DCAs, four independent multistage envelopes, three LFOs, amplitude modulation, oscillator sync, and expanded its modulation system. Its accuracy is such that the ESQ-1 software supports drag-and-drop import of individual patches and patch banks from ESQ-1 SysEx files, or directly via MIDI from the hardware. Additionally, the software can export SysEx patch files that are compatible with the original hardware."

"This popular synthesizer from the mid-1980s combined single-cycle digital waveform oscillators with analog filters and amplifiers. Abundant modulation sources allowed for dynamically changing sounds and was very much in tune with the overall tone of the era.

Variations on a theme by Ciani: Voltage sculpting with Buchla's most powerful module

video upload by Electrum Modular

"Introduced in the mid-1970s, the Buchla MARF (Multiple Arbitrary Function Generator) remains one of the most powerful, and also one of the rarest, modules ever made. It was part sequencer, part envelope generator, part voltage sculptor. It programmed up to 16 stages of arbitrary voltage shapes, each with its own time, level, contour, and behavioral flags. Using Claude, I have designed a simplified (but also, in some ways, enhanced) 8-stage version for the Disting NT called MiniMARFA. This video demonstrates it through two patches including Suzanne Ciani's Prism Melody (with a Buchla Easel).

"TRX-12 isn't just another sample player on a grid.

It's built around ideas you won't find in other trackers:

31 creative Step-FX commands — stack up to four per step for chords, strums, ratchets, probability, evolving pitch, glides, reverses, random slices and more. This is the secret weapon.

Polyphonic chords on a single track — real chords, right on the grid.

Multiple drum sounds on ONE track — sequence a whole kit on a single lane with no sample choking.

Multi-sample playback instrument with built-in trance gate

Round-robin playback — instant realism on drums and one-shots.

Melodies that evolve and mutate — scale-aware "evolve" and probability-based pitch let your sequences grow and change as they play.

Randomize everything — samples, synth sounds, sequences, even slicer slices — endless inspiration on tap.

Resample on the fly — bounce any pattern to a new sample and reload it instantly."

Exploring synth presets | Kaleidoscope by Vadim Minkin

video upload by Mamotreco

"Enjoying the brash and meaty sounds of the Kaleidoscope synth designed by Vadim Minkin. This digital synth is programmed by navigating through settings using the top 8 touch plates while the bottom four touch plates can trigger the different voices as well as decoupled envelopes and modulation.

On a purely visual level it looks like a piece of equipment that could have come from Tarkovsky's Solaris or inspired by a Stanislas Lem novel."

"Всем привет!
Решил начать серию роликов в которых я показываю как накручивать наикрутейший звук на синтезаторах, в данном ролике это D16 Phoscyon 2 на котором я создал новый банк ACID & Trance звуков.
Те кто помнит треки Kai Tracid - и его тему с ACID & Trance поймут. И кстати не будет секретом если я скажу что я прямо с видео Кая стянул пару его мелодий и немного переделал так чтоб не нарушались права)
Но добавлю - я ему(Kai Tracid) бесплатно отправил порядка 300 ACID секвенция в свое время за его комментарий к себе на сайт и знаете что? Он отморозился, как-то делает большинство западных известных диджей и делали всегда. Я не обиделся а просто для себя сделал выводы как он человек, которого я еще малым уважал.
В общем если по теме - я в ролике сделал два звука с секвенциями и вы можете использовать это в своем музыка-производстве, чтоб сделать крутую ACID штуку.
В любом случае спасибо что посмотрели, любым адекватным отзывам конечно же буду рад и пишите понравился ли вам формат.

А если кому-то приглянулись звуки, их можно купить у меня на сайте - https://natlifesounds.com/product/aci..."

Alesis NanoSynth - Rare Prototype Demo

video upload by John L Rice

"I thought I would document this prototype example of an Alesis NanoSynth I bought on eBay long ago, before I sell it. I didn't take the time to verify if the sounds are all the same as a production model or not, but I suspect there may be some differences? One thing not working as far as I can tell is the built in factory demo that all production versions of Alesis Nano synthesizers have. And yeah, that's not me talking, I wanted to learn how to use the AI text to voice feature in DaVinci Resolve. (sorry not sorry! 😁)

Alesis NanoBass - Factory Demo

"I made this quick video for an Alesis NanoBass synth module that I'm going to be selling and decided to make it public just in case anyone is interested. I think all of the Alesis Nano synths are fantastic and very underrated and underestimated. I own a NanoPiano, NanoSynth, and two NanoBass units (that's why I am selling this one)"

"My friend Barry, who passed away in 2023, showed me this trick. This simple patch requires a VCO, VCA, envelope generator, random source, and LFO.

NOTE: your EG must have an EOC output and be modulatable. Also, your random source must be externally clockable.
