"Buy Link: https://natlifesounds.com/product/tra...

Trance Supersaw for Arturia MiniFreak 49/V/37 – is a special Trance soundbank for MiniFreak synthesiser family.

In this bank you will find the most complete library of Trance Supersaws, incredible Trance Plucks, deep atmospheric Pads and, of course, Supersaw Pads.

In it, I tried to convey as best I could the spirit of that era of the late 90s and early 2000s. Of course, in the software version, I won’t hear the character you’ll get with the new Minifreak 49 and its Analog filters.

If you want to get a true Trance machine on your Minifreak, then the Trance Supersaw soundset will be your best choice.

The Trance Supersaw includes 50 presets & patches, which are:

20 Leads
19 Pads
11 Plucks

Whispers From The Dark | Dark Ambient Soundscape

video upload by The Pedalboard Orchestra

"Whispers From The Dark

A dark ambient soundscape built around the Synthux Academy Touch 2 (Bass Firmware).

A latched arpeggio from Touch 2 is looped in Pattern Keeper and slowed down and pitched down, creating a dark, mysterious drone underneath. The same arpeggio continues at regular speed, shaped in real time with the filter and modulators of Touch 2, creating an undulating melody of ever-changing rhythmic synth sounds.

The stereo signal then passes through Kinotone Ribbons, Chase Bliss Lossy, Alexander Pedals Forget Me Not and Eventide Space.

Rob Papen QUAD-2: Phase Distortion, Waveshaping, Filters, Oh my!

video upload by CatSynth TV

"We present QUAD-2, a powerful software synthesizer from Rob Papen. The heart of QUAD-2 is its oscillators, each of which have a variety of waveforms and versatile phase-direction and waveshaping functions, as well as a variety of cross-modulation options. Along with dual filters with a several different signal configurations and filter modes, and myriad modulation options, it has an almost bewildering number of degrees of freedom. But we break it all down for you in this detailed tutorial to help you understand its features and how to use them in your own sound design.

Tiny Setup, MASSIVE Sound: Jungle with Koala Sampler + Monotron Delay

video upload by Pocket Trax

"Can this tiny setup deliver proper jungle? I guess we’ll find out.

👉 Pocket Jungle Toolkit 2 available on Patreon:
/ pocket-jungle-2-168395255

Koala Sampler meets Monotron Delay! It was about time these two got together for a jungle duet.

I have to say, I’m pretty impressed with Koala. So intuitive, powerful, and most importantly, fun to use. And of course, the Monotron Delay is doing all the heavy lifting, delivering that rawness and epic saturation.

I’m also using breaks from my latest Pocket Jungle Toolkit 2 in this track. The toolkit is available on my Patreon.

Getting Started with Quantizers in Eurorack

video upload by Noise Engineering

"A quantizer takes control voltage and maps it to musical notes, making it easy to create melodies that stay in tune.

This video is part of our Getting Started blog post:
https://noiseengineering.us/blogs/loq...

Gamut Repetitor is a great example of quantization in action.

Here, Gamut is generating a n evolving melody. Every voltage it creates is quantized, so each note stays within one of 27 different scales. Change the scale or note range using the three switches, Spread, and Down/Up controls, and the melody takes on a different character while remaining musical.

Quantization isn't limited to traditional Western scales, either.

Here, Mimetic Digitwolis is set to generate microtonal notes. Instead of quantizing to the familiar 12-note scale, it snaps voltages to a different tuning system, opening the door to entirely new melodic possibilities while still keeping the notes intentionally related.

Quantizers aren't just for sequencers, though.

Any control voltage can be quantized. That means random voltages, LFOs, or analog sequencers can all become musical pitch sequences by snapping their voltages to specific notes.

That's what makes quantizers such an essential utility in Eurorack. They let you experiment freely while keeping your melodies in tune, whether you're writing traditional sequences, exploring microtonality, or creating generative music.

Eurorack Feedback Ambient Jam

video upload by Ghost In Translation

"I try using my new module NRNSS in a feedback loop with Ghost and my other module DS1 for the kick. I first tried to get it to self oscillate but it’s so silent it wouldn’t.

NRNSS is a stereo mixer based on the open source Nearness but redesigned from the ground up, more features and higher end components. 9 inputs each panned according to its proximity with the 2 outputs and in addition to those inputs are 7 stereo TRS inputs with various fixed gains. All of this in only 4HP.

"Spoken word with atmospheric music. I recently rewatched American Werewolf in London [great movie!] and the moon happened to be full and bright. This all put me in the mood to read some werewolf-based poetry. For atmosphere I used my Noisferatu which I talked about in a recent video [posted here]. And some sound effects made using e-ther.

DØS: the ultimate polysynth by DenverSynthLabs

video upload by manmade madman

00:00 Overview and patch demos
12:10 System Architecture
15:30 New Oscillator updates
19:42 Filters improvements, types, cascading
25:20 Sequencer modulation

'The Moog One was released in 2018 to much fanfare and high expectations. By all accounts, it was the greatest analog polysynth ever made; 16 voices, 3 oscillators, dual filters, knob-per-function, and Eventide effects. On paper at least, it was unbelievable. In person, it was astounding to play. Sounds were unlike anything ever made, and it lived up to the hype. But there were problems underneath. The volume knob was an unfamiliar taper. The filters didn't really drive much. There was very little distortion because of so much headroom in the mixer. The effects were underwhelming. And the fan noise to cool all that analog circuitry was loud and omnipresent. I know all this, because I beta tested it for over a year. All told, I entered 119 bugs and feature requests. To Moog's credit, they fixed about 89 of them.

When we set out to make this the ultimate homage version, we wanted everything possible, including improvements. But that wasn't enough; it had to play my original patches, offer all the improvements we could think of, and sound exactly like the original, but better.

TL;DR: it does.

The oscillators now include all the familiar analog shapes-- with sharpening, digital wavetables (including your own if you're bold enough), drawable shapes, and much more. The filters include the originals, modelled to within a dB at all ranges, plus most classic analog synth cart type additions, learned from all our other synth models. Plus, we added patch jacks for fast modulation routes. Plus, DRIVE and analog feedback loop lifted from Minimoog circuitry. CP3 mixer technology for even more vintage clarity. Instability along the way that isn't intrusive. Freely routable better snappy envelopes. A sequencer that outputs multiple lanes that you can drag anywhere. Effects that start with what should've shipped in the original, enhanced with legendary features. And if that's not enough, you can use your own VST3 effects inside it-- a world's first! All of this wrapped up in our EZ button. Randomize your way to your next sound and get there faster than you would've guessed.
And best of all--- a cooling fan that is near dead silent, measured to within .001 dB of the original, then completely cancelled out!

All new factory patches, plus my original 161 patches for your enjoyment.

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.
