Moog Subharmonicon Granular Ambient Bells with Soma Cosmos and Linnstrument

video upload by riotbell

"This is a video featuring the Subharmonicon being controlled via midi by the Linnstrument. One of my favorite things about the Subharmonicon is the way oscillators can mix to provide some very rich bell and chime like timbres.

The Soma Cosmos is providing granulated repeats that slowly evolve into a droning pad over the course of the video.

Forgive my awkward reach, on the Linnstrument, I had trouble setting up an overhead camera and had to pace about to reach things.

Thanks for listening!"

1010 Music Lemondrop Synth, Soma Cosmos, and Linnstrument Ambient Flutes

video upload by riotbell

"This is another Lemondrop video. I don't know how many people are really interested in this little synth, but I've had a lot of fun with it, and it definitely punches above its weight class.

Wish it had MPE support, but it still works pretty well with the Linnstrument.

The Cosmos is on its most basic setting, having a lot of fun with this too.

I'm thinking of doing a Lemondrop review if there's interest. Please let me know.

Thanks for listening!"

Dreadbox Nymphes and Linnstrument and Hologram Microcosm MPE Exploration

video upload by riotbell

"Don't know if anyone is still interested in these Nymphes MPE explorations with the Linnstrument. Here's yet another with the Hologram Microcosm.

Overall I am very impressed by how big the Nymphes sounds when compared to other six voice polysynths. Makes me wonder a bit if I overestimate the importance of oscillator per voice.

Thanks for listening!"

Spitfire Audio and Blankfor.ms Present: Tape Synths

video upload by Matt Lowery

"What a beauty of an instrument! One of my favorite people/artists (Blankfor.ms) is teaming up with the absolute best in the sample instrument game (Spitfire Audio) to create Tape Synths. It's a remarkably beautiful collection of analog and digital synthesizers, processed through tape machines, modular, and more. It's a sample library just oozing taste, tone, and beauty.

00:00 Intro/Controls
02:12 ADSR controls
03:48 Pads
08:10 Keys
12:39 Arps
14:45 Blankfor.ms Presets"

1010music Nanobox Lemondrop Synth and Linnstrument

video upload by riotbell

"This is a short video exploring the Nanobox Lemondrop granular synthesizer for the first time with the Linnstrument.

It's been several years since I last purchased a digital synth, and the Lemondrop is incredibly impressive. Amazingly tiny with a wonderfully intuitive interface. Hope to have a lot of fun with this in the future.

Oto Bam supplying reverb though the onboard effects are surprisingly good.

Thanks for listening."

Nymphes and Linnstrument Etude

video upload by riotbell

"This is a little study piece on the Nymphes. I'm trying to encourage myself to practice more frequently on the Linnstrument by creating these short videos.

Thanks for listening!"

Dreadbox Nymphes and Linnstrument and Microcosm Triads

video upload by riotbell

"More Nymphes exploration with the Linnstrument and the Microcosm.
High MPE settings with no discernible envelope crackling so hopefully that bug has been completely worked out.

Thanks for listening!"

A Friday night soundscape

video upload by junklight

"Not much time for making music at the moment but I've slowly been refining my setup while I have the odd minute. Ditched Roli and went the way I should have gone in the first place.... MPE really unlocks the Argon 8 IMO (you can just see the keyboard in this shot - I've discovered stands as a way of maximising the small space in my studio). Also loving the Red Panda Particles 2- no idea what it's doing most of the time - I should read the manual again but it makes great noises!"

Boingg Intro - Monome Norns App

video upload by allmyfriendsaresynths

"The second video in my series looking at different music making applications for Norns is a personal favourite: Boingg. A quick intro of how it works for the curious! I am using the Linnstrument 128 as an alternative grid here, showing that you don't need a Monome Grid for this kind of thing to work.

You can find more info about Boingg, including a download of it, here: https://llllllll.co/t/boingg/26536"

Bright Sparks - Tom Oberheim

video upload by GForce Software

"After the 2015 release of our Bright Sparks Documentary & Album collaboration with I Monster, while we were elated at the critical acclaim the project received, we always felt it would have been enriched by the inclusion of one person in particular, Tom Oberheim.

On the instrumental version of the Bright Sparks album, I Monster had created a bonus track, Beneath The Planet Of The Oberheim and while we'd reached out to Tom Oberheim and asked him to appear in the accompanying documentary, for various reasons it wasn't possible.

Then in Feb 2021, after the release of our OB-E 8-Voice emulation, we got the chance to talk with Tom whereupon our second question was 'Can we persuade you to be filmed for a new Bright Sparks Chapter?'

Tom agreed and while covid put our plans on hold temporarily, we carried on communicating, and in October 2021 we sat at the UK end of a zoom call while cameraman Sam Graydon filmed Tom in the comfort of his California home. Additionally, ex-Oberheim engineer (and industry icon), Marcus Ryle, joined us from his studio and imparted his experience of working at Oberheim in the 80s and how, over 30 years later, he was pivotal in Tom regaining the use of his name and logo.

The result is a new Bright Sparks chapter dedicated to Tom Oberheim. A fascinating journey through the life and career of one of the most revered synthesiser pioneers, whose work has graced the tracks of everyone from Joe Zawinul to Stevie Wonder, Lyle Mays, Jam and Lewis and countless others.

video upload by THE TUESDAY NIGHT MACHINES

"Here's a little hotel room drone music jam with Gotharman's PolySpaze mkII digital-analog poly-synth. I recorded three takes, each with a different PolySpaze synthesizer preset I made. Everything is controlled with the Roger Linn Linnstrument 128 MIDI keyboard. Mastering and Audio Damage EOS2 reverb effect done in Cubasis 3 for iPad.

"Roger Linn demonstrates the sounds he created for the upcoming Surge 1.6.4 release and how they work with the Linnstrument."

Surge Videos from the Web

Specs via https://surge-synthesizer.github.io:

Synthesis method: Subtractive hybrid

Each patch contain two scenes which are separate instances of the entire synthesis engine (except effects) that can be used to create layered or split patches.

Quick category-based patch browser

Runs on a variety of operating systems, plugin formats, and architectures

FACTORY SOUNDS
1725 patches
523 wavetables

OSCILLATORS
3 oscillators per scene.

8 versatile oscillator algorithms: Classic, Sine, Wavetable, Window, FM2, FM3, S&H Noise and Audio Input.

Classic oscillator is a morphable pulse/saw/dual saw oscillator with a sub-oscillator and hard sync.

FM2/FM3 oscillators consist of a carrier and 2 or 3 modulators and various options.

Most algorithms (except FM2, FM3 and Audio input) offer up to 16-voice unison at the oscillator level.

Oscillator FM and ring modulation between oscillators 1-2 and 2-3.

Most oscillator algorithms (except FM2, FM3 and Sine) are strictly band-limited, yet still cover the entire audible spectrum, delivering a clear, punchy and clean sound.
