Creative Sound Design with a Matrix Mixer: Herbs & Stones Pathways (w/ Critter & Guitari + OTO BAM)

video upload by pitch patch

"This is a demo of the Herbs & Stones Pathways. A powerful, hands-on matrix mixer that can transform your sound design process. From unique routing possibilities to dynamic feedback loops and CV modulation, Pathways opens up endless sonic opportunities."

DFAM, BIA, UltraPerc, Modbase09, Sample Drum, zZzOrb, BIM, Octatrack, Analog Heat - #ModularTechno

video upload by x0d

"I resurrected an old modular percussion synth configuration and paired it with the DFAM for some fun.

The DFAM is running thru the OTO BIM for a bit of delay, and everything is mixed using the Octatrack, and then thru the Analog Heat MKII.

A simple, but effective setup.

------

Patch/Routing Notes:

I have the modbase09 running thru the HN TriTone for some EQ'ing, and out individually to the OT.

All the other modules are mixed in the case using the Erica Drum Mixer, and then filtered thru zZzOrb, before going out to another thru channel on the OT.

The DFAM/BIM are also on a separate thru track on the OT."

"Pretty much everything coming from just those three. Some Slöer, CXM and Boum afterwards. Organelle is playing both Plaits, and some orchestral samples."

Old School Sequencing

video upload by Asteroid Killer

"Another Tutorial Tuesday!

How did they sequence synthesizers 40 years ago? I'll show you how I played the song Christine in the John Carpenter Tribute I did some weeks ago.

Bass - ARP Oddyssey
Spooky arpeggio - Roland SH101
Melody - Roland Jupiter 4
Percussive sound - Korg MS20
Drums - Roland TR707
Reverb - OTO BAM and Strymon Nightsky
Delay - Neon Egg Planetarium, TC Electronic 2290

Original song was recorded and released by John Carpenter and Alan Howarth 1989.
The song was also released by The Splash Band in 1984."

Best Ambient Synth Shootout #137: SammichFM - Song 2

video upload by Christian's Sonic Spaces

"This is the second recording with the SammichFM. It is a streamlined, compact version of the MIDIbox FM synthesizer DIY kit. Designed around the OPL3 chip YMF262 (4-Operators with 4 different waves), which was a famous sound chip from the 8 bit computer era (e.g. Sound Blaster 16 soundcard), it can play 4-sounds with 6-voice polyphony each.

I used for the recording the following FX pedals:
Line 6 DL4 MkII, GFI System Specular Reverb 2, OTO Boum.

The signal went through a Presonus StudioLive 16.0.2 into the PC via USB for recording. To create the complete song I recorded consecutively several stereo tracks. On some tracks Compressor and EQ where added in Cubase 13. The final song was then mastered using iZotope Ozone.

Well, I decided to go back to the basics, but at the same time make something useful for the synth community and do a kind of competition (I like competitions;-). What's my best synth for ambient music :-)"

In The Studio with Public Service Broadcasting

video upload by MusicRadar Tech

"Since releasing their debut album in 2013, British alt-rock outfit Public Service Broadcasting have attracted an ever-growing devoted fanbase drawn to their complex instrumental arrangements and distinctive use of archive recordings in place of traditional vocals.

Known for their concept-focused releases, the band are about to release their fourth album, The Last Flight, focused on the story of pioneering American aviator Amelia Earhart. Ahead of the release, we visited the band’s chief songwriter and producer J. Willgoose Esq. to take a tour of the band’s new South London studio space.

Public Service Broadcasting’s The Last Flight is out October 4 on SO Recordings

Sample jam on the new studio

video upload by Meska

"Here a quick jam , more proof of concept, done only with sample , from a eurorack session record with friends in paris.
We have plan to do more jam, and perhaps make an EP with the track made of the Jam sound material. This one is a quick one done in 1H, like i say more a proof of concept.
Since only sample was use, most of the sound you hear come from Octatrack and gotharman's LD3 with some euro sound process

Thank you for watching.

Elmyra 2 // cLFO // Microcell // Cosmos // Poly 2

video upload by Lesjamusic

"Following Thursday’s fun playing the Elmyra directly, I wanted to try triggering a sequence. I’m using the Polyend Poly 2 to split the midi from Keystep over 4 CV/gate outputs - hence the spaghetti of wires dangling from the big case. Atovproject’s excellent cLFO is modulating various parameters on Elmyra, keeping the drone evolving. Microcell and Cosmos for texture.

Off screen, CXM 1978 and OTO Boum finish things.

01:45 OK then melt my face"

"Jammin' live for a bit. It's been awhile. I had to get on the OB-6 for a bit. Love this synth... It plays well with the digitakt and syntakt combo.

There's also some percussion samples from the Pulsar-23 and subs sampled from the MC-202."
