OCTAL: sequencable effects by DenverSynthLabs

video upload by manmade madman

"Imagine being able to sequence different effects blocks as you wish. Imagine being able to send to a delay only on steps 5 and 9. Imagine being able to slew between effects slowly. Imagine if these effects blocks had LFO's for parameters to modulate them automatically. Imagine if you could choose from 34 effects blocks of different types. Imagine if you could quickly randomize everything to spit out a new sound. Imagine if you could change opamps, diodes, capacitors, and component age without a screwdriver and popping open something vintage.

Imagine no more!

Here's OCTAL. An 8-block sequence-able effects rack that lets you lightly touch or completely mangle your audio input into something fresh. An effects playground, if you will. Chain things in any order, then re-order them freely, just to hear how it sounds. Cascade blocks into each other, stacking sounds that build and grow. Or simply hit the EZ button and let it choose for you. Then sequence all that for certain steps only. Assign LFO's to automatically swell, dip, crunch, or delay sounds so that its just how you like it. Or, do that all at once, times 8."

BeatFriend Part 1: Unboxing and day one twiddlings

video upload by Richard DeHove

"This is my first 24 hours using the BeatFriend by Audio.Computer. It's a long, raw example of discovering the machine rather than a tightly edited batch of best-ofs. The idea is to show what you'd typically get if you bought one yourself.

The concept of the Beatfriend is beautifully simple: A CR-78-style machine with preset patterns that you can tweak with a few interesting parameters combined with complexity sliders for each track.

Some other demos I heard prior to getting the BeatFriend were, to my ears, a bit "wooly". Main culprit there is the filter knob. At the midway point it has the classic CR-78 EQ profile which is very dull imo. Only when you open things up a bit do you get some better dynamics but then the more you turn the less it sounds like a CR-78. Horses for courses. Big surprise for me was the distortion control which can change the mood from cheesy to weird very fast.

The sound you hear hasn't been subsequently manipulated in any way other than some reasonably hard limiting on the output to smooth everything out.

All up there's lots to like here and am looking forward to some much deeper experiments in the next video.

Nick Klimenko had a great opportunity to play & record a Legend –
almighty Oberheim OB-8.

Than we made a samplepack with 242 samples capturing synthesizer’s authentic spirit.

And than we thought – why not to put these sounds in tiny MiniFreak engine and make presets?

Thanks to Arturia Team & their love to support customers – we are having OS 5.0!

New OS allows to load your own samples & put it through granular synthesis and it works great.

And result amazes us – vintage samples + MF organic analog filter done a real magic.

Casio HT 3000/3500 - Custom Pads & Strings

video upload by LFOstore

"We've got rare Casio HT3000 synthesizer from Japan.
Even more rare - the 3500 made for Japanese market with dark blue colour.

Even its looks like a home keyboard with speakers - its still having professional synth features:

• Keyboard: 61 full-size synth-action keys (non-velocity sensitive), plus pitch bend and modulation wheels.

• Synthesis Engine: Spectrum Dynamic (SD) synthesis combining digital waveforms with a shared analog low-pass filter (VCF).

• Polyphony: 8 voices (paraphonic design sharing a single VCF for upper tones and a single VCF for lower tones).

• Waveforms: 32 digital waves for the upper tone, 16 for the lower tone, plus a noise generator.

• Envelopes & LFO: ADSR envelopes for both the digital-controlled amplifier (DCA) and analog VCF, alongside an LFO modulating pitch and volume.

• Memory: 30 preset tones and 30 user-programmable patches.

So we made custom ambient sounds & run them through Valhalla Supermassive which turning this keys into Ambient Machine."

Megafold Legio: Wavefolder+waveshaper and chorus on the Legio platform

video upload by Noise Engineering

"Megafold Legio combines our wavefolder with waveshaping, dynamics tracking, and stereo chorus for all sorts of harmonic destruction.

Get a Legio module and swap to this firmware today: https://noiseengineering.us/products/...

Let's start with Gain. This drives your signal into the wavefolder, adding more folds and harmonic complexity as you push it.

Shape changes the character of the folding itself, giving you another way to transform the harmonics and completely reshape your sound.

And when Gain and Shape are pulled back, they work together as a blend, letting you mix the processed sound with your original signal.

Envelop lets Megafold follow the dynamics of your incoming audio, so the folding and shaping can respond to how your sound changes over time.

Then there's stereo chorus. One switch controls the amount while the other changes its speed, adding stereo movement to all that folded mayhem.

And if you need a little more mayhem, send a gate to FSU.

Today your Legio is folding, shaping, and chorusing your sound. A quick USB swap and it can be crushing bits, processing dynamics, mangling grains, or doing something completely different.

23 Firmwares.One Legio.

Visit noiseengineering.us or your favorite retailer to get a Legio module in your case."

Morphor Echon 6 sounds

"Demo sounds for the Echon 6 physical modelling synthesizer. There is a lot more you can do with this than the presets suggest. This is where I got to after about a week, there are deeper functions I haven't touched yet but its sounding good so far. All sounds are just a single layer, a tough of external reverb added."

Korg Wavestate - "Aether" Soundset (40 Exclusive Performances)

video upload by LFOstore

"Step into the light. Aether is a collection of 40 exclusive performances for Korg Wavestate, woven from air, glass and morning sun. Imagine a luminous golden horizon, a sea of clouds drifting far below, crystal spheres floating weightlessly through an endless sky. This is the world these sounds were crafted to build around you.

At its heart are the pads: shimmering, slowly breathing, rising like first light over the clouds. They turn like light through a prism, drift like mist at dawn and bloom into soft harmonic halos. Around them, sequences and arpeggios sparkle in the spirit of the Berlin School and the golden age of 80s electronica, but on its bright side, where every pulse is a ray of sunlight rather than a shadow. Glass bells, silver plucks and tender leads complete the sky.

As a sound designer for Access Music, Native Instruments, and Modal Electronics, OttO K. Schwarz shaped every performance with one aim: sounds that feel weightless but never empty. Many performances are multi-layered, with evolving textures and melodic phrases that invite you to simply hold a chord and listen.

All presets are tuned for real-time expression: the modulation wheel and other assigned parameters open the sound like clouds parting, giving you intuitive control over several parameters at once. Whether you’re scoring a film, composing ambient or electronic music, guiding a meditation session or playing live, “Aether” offers a palette of sounds that are light, luminous and deeply musical.

AlphaTheta ChordCat Groovebox and Chord Engine - SonicDEMO

video upload by sonicstate

"We're looking at the ‪@alphathetaglobal‬ AlphaTheta ChordCat, a compact eight-track groovebox. It has built-in sounds, effects, sequencing and the ChordCruiser chord-generation system. It runs on battery or USB, and includes USB MIDI, MIDI in/out/thru, stereo outputs and headphones.

ChordCat is more than a groovebox and has chord helper functions which makes creating riffs and arrangements pretty straightforward. Matt takes us through sounds, sequencing, chord creation, effects, pattern handling, performance controls and DAW integration.

The sound banks include basses, keys, leads, pads, guitars, plucks, mallets, brass, strings, stabs and drum kits, with the 4x4 X-Y pad used for auditioning presets.

ChordCruiser shows chord names and notes, works with key and scale settings, and offers further chord choices after each selection. Matt built a four-chord set, then recorded it into the sequencer. The sequencer records note length, allows step entry, and lets each step hold gate and velocity values.

We also cover delay, arpeggiator, reverb and chorus sends, track volume and pan, ducking, filter and amp envelope editing, plus automation recording.Pattern copy, direction changes, switchback, step shift, chaining, muting and soloing can be used to reshape the sequence.

ChordCat Manager works on PC and Mac for sequence import/export. ChordCruiser is also coming as a plugin only, with beta access via AlphaTheta.

UK pricing is around £239 -£250.
