Pluck Bass Soundtrack Demo (Kontakt Bass, Reason Bass Refill) Published on Jan 22, 2020 New Loops
New Loops has released Pluck Bass - an indispensable collection of 105 pluck basses suitable for any genre of electronic music, packed full of thick analogue plucks, wide wavetable plucks, classic dance basses, and plenty of new and unique bass sounds.
New Loops say "We’ve recorded the best sounds from many of our preset packs to create this collection of bass instruments. These pluck basses will be useful for many genres of electronic music including Urban, Pop, Hip Hop, House, Techno, Trance, soundtrack, game and film scores, and any other music where thick and punchy bass sounds are a required".
See the Synthuary label for more. Synthuary because these are the Jamuary synth videos. More below.
"A quick jam for number 13, after a long day at work. This one uses the Figure app for iPad/iPhone from Reason Studios. Very good for making a quick beat."
THE MISTS OF REBIRTH: Dawless Outdoor Volca #Keys #Modular Jam Impro Aussie Bushfires #Jamuary2020
"For my #jamuary2020 Day 13 I'm using only my trusty @nordkeyboards Nord Lead 4 with 3 custom presets from "init" arranged into a "performance" with a split.
For those not familiar with the Nord Lead 4, it has 4 complete synthesizers each with their own FX each. Presets called "programs" can be placed into one of four "slots". Slots can be combined into "performances" where you can perform with all four slots in concert.
For EACH synth instance you create both impulse and continuous morphs which allow you to save states for pretty much any parameter in for the preset in a slot without changing presets 😮.
You can save and trigger 7 impulse morphs per slot with impulse morph buttons on the left next to the wooden pitch stick. Morph buttons are momentary switches but you can latch them as I do 26 second mark. Continuous morphs are mapped to the groovy pumice mod wheel (or map this to an expression pedal).
I used this custom set of presets and "performance" when I performed as a special guest for the Boulder Laptop Orchestra (BLOrK) at the @cu_atlas Atlas Black Box at @cuboulder back in 2017. For this performance I used only the Nord Lead 4 with 14 programs each with a large number of morph states. Video here https://youtu.be/ScpItttfGlY.
In a somewhat related note I'm a @uccs_alumni so it was real treat to perform within the CU system 😀.

I kind of cheated ... self playing ZOIA patches (Empress Effects) // #JAMUARY2020 DAY 13
Published on Jan 13, 2020 DivKidVideo
"** Anyone called Floyd that's pink and feels like running? ** With the brilliant news that there's a new Eurorack version of the Empress Effects ZOIA the "ZOIA EuroBuro" as announced by Empress Effects today (link below) I thought I'd crack out the ZOIA pedal and well ... CHEAT! I say cheat as I didn't really do much musical creating today, I just flicked through some ZOIA presets and let some self running patches play away beautifully. There's a lot of rich and lush sound from ZOIA so I figured this can be more of a little ode to ZOIA and sort of a promo for it's self contained capabilities (not sponsored). I've had great fun with my guitar into it and the modular so more exploration to come."
"My third jam for #Jamuary2020. Another downtempo one, this time featuring the Digitone, Minilogue, Tensor, Particle V2 and the trusty RV-500.
The Digitone is sequencing arpeggiated chords and a plucked bassline, plus is used for a live pad. The Minilogue is used for the live lead. I used the Tensor to build a looping pad made from some of the notes from the Minilogue, which is then run through Particle V2 for graininess and then into the RV-500 for some reverb."

"It's been 5 years since these two Synth apps came out for iPad and I am still using them. They're simply my most favourite ones when it come to iOS synth apps. But what is it that makes so good? What is it about them that I like so much? Well, In this haQ attaQ episode I am attempting to explain what it is that keeps me coming back to these two synths and also why you might want to get them yourself."

"Something a little different for 6/26 day. I took my love of the Roland TR-626 drum machine and my recent infatuation with Propellerhead ReBirth and learned how to create a ReBirth Mod. In this case replacing the TR-808 and TR-909 drum machines with the sounds and graphics of a TR-626.
"We were able to hear how the ELK Music OS runs on this Eurorack Module at SuperBooth 2019. The Korg PolySix Reason Rack Extension version was running on this module. ELK Music OS is promising super low latency for modules and synths like this built into hardware enclosures or eurorack modules running VSTs or Rack Extensions."

"ES01 just got updated with new features and loads of new patches!
1.1 Updates:
Added pulse width target in mod matrix for VCO and sub oscillator
Added rectangular and PWM waveforms to the sub oscillator
Added feet and pitch offset mod targets for the sub oscillator
Extended sub oscillator frequency range down to 8Hz
Added additional white noise generator available through the mixer
Added VCF lag trimmer to backside
Fixed sub oscillator phase to match VCO cycles for consistent timbres
EG times can now be modulated below their original range using negative values in the mod matrix
New default patch
Added over 100 new patches incorporating the new possibilities of 1.1
The ES01 is a faithful recreation of a beloved analog classic. While the hardware which the ES01 is based on was originally marketed as an entry-level synth, it is still a popular tool of many professional artists for its ease of use in getting great sounds, particularly leads and bass lines.
The ES01 is not a 1:1 emulation - it also has additional features like Sub Oscillator, Unison and last but not least, Polyphony. The Touch Data Programmer with its Global Settings and modulation matrix together with the CV connectivity of the Reason Rack gives ES01 massive tweaking possibilities. This all makes the ES01 unique and quite capable of producing many classic analog synth sounds like fat basses, vibrant pads, synthetic arpeggios and analog sounding leads that cut through the mix.
Ekssperience the sound of the past with the possibilities of the future with the ES01 Analog Synthesizer.
Yesterday, we were introduced to the MIND Music Labs ‘Powered by ELK’ Retrologue 2 Desktop Synth. Pictured left in the rack you can also see a Propellerhead RE eurorack module powered by ELK MusicOS. Check out what appears to be a prototype desktop VST host unit in orange. The following is the MIND Music Labs press release for SUPERBOOTH 19:
STOCKHOLM, SWEDEN: Swedish startup MIND Music Labs lets loose by showcasing several super-cool applications of its award- winning ELK MusicOS — the world’s first ultra-low-latency music operating system developed specifically for audio applications, ushering in a new era where the power, flexibility, and selection of audio and music software can be run in real time on embedded hardware with full MIDI (Musical Instrument Digital Interface) support — at SUPERBOOTH19 in Berlin, May 9-11…
Further fulfilling its ambition of creating new ways to bridge the gap between musicians and technology, changing how to learn, create, record, and share music, MIND Music Labs will be demonstrating the potential and flexibility of its seminal ELK MusicOS by showcasing a number of hardware product prototypes based on existing VST (Virtual Instrument Technology) and RE (Rack Extension) releases from world-class developers at SUPERBOOTH19, Europe’s first and largest trade fair for electronic musical instruments.
First stop: media production products provider Steinberg’s stand on owner Yamaha’s booth (H310). Here the German giant continues its partnership with MIND Music Labs in making VST a standard for hardware by showcasing the co-developed ‘Powered by ELK’ Retrologue 2, a proof-of-concept prototype desktop synth running Retrologue 2, Steinberg’s VST Virtual Analog Synthesizer — successfully emulating the warmth and fatness of classic analog synthesizers — on hardware.
However, ELK MusicOS is not only VST compatible but also runs RE plug-ins from fellow Swedish company Propellerhead, creators of innovative and affordable music software. Supporting the Propellerhead partnership, MIND Music Labs will be showcasing a Eurorack format synth module running the RE-compatible Polysix for Reason — utilising Korg’s proprietary CMT (Component Modeling Technology) to precisely model the circuitry of an analog polysynth classic from 1982 — on booth (O504).
Other must-see SUPERBOOTH19 showcases scheduled to take place at MIND Music Labs’ location there include several contrasting conceptual collaborative projects with the likes of plug-in developer Stefano D’Angelo, former DSP engineer at Arturia; Italian music and audio software company Audio Modeling, creators of the SWAM (Synchronous Waves Acoustic Modeling) engine; HISE, an open source framework for sample-based instruments; and Igor Nembrini of Nembrini Audio, creator of some of the most revered guitar amp plug-ins under the Brainworx brand for Universal Audio's UAD (Universal Audio Digital) platform.
Concludes MIND Music Labs CEO Michele Benincaso: “The different hardware prototypes we will be showcasing at SUPERBOOTH19 are all great examples of what ELK MusicOS is capable of. With ELK MusicOS you add the feel of playing an actual physical instrument — without losing the benefits and qualities of desktop plug-ins. I am very excited to show everyone at SUPERBOOTH19 what we have been working on.”
"I hope this video serves to give some ideas of not only the possibilities of Complex-1 but also to give you some ideas to try things in other software and hardware synthesis (modular or otherwise). In this patch I go through create stereo synth tones, sequenced arpeggios, FX, folding and a whole load of patching. Check out the full Complex-1 tutorial/demo here"
"Propellerhead ReBirth (RB-338) Techno Micro Composer 'Believe the unbelievable' four page colour brochure from 1997.
Full disclosure - I'm a huuuuuge Reason fan. I have a great auto-load template set up that opens with two TBL3 303 emulators, and two Kongs - one with 808 sounds and one with 909 sounds. Great for when I'm on the road. Or in bed.
So, you can't be surprised that I was a huge ReBirth fan way back when as well."
