AIR Music Tech & Akai Professional Introduce Fabric Vintage Synths Vol. 1


video upload by AIR Music Tech

"Three legendary analog synths. One modern synthesis environment. https://inmusic.to/2p977r6r

From lush pads to punchy basses and soaring leads, Fabric Vintage Synths, Vol 1 channels the sonic character of three iconic hardware synthesizers, bringing new creative inspiration to your MPC or DAW-based workflow.

Inspired by three of the most influential analog polysynths ever created, this collection includes the Fabric Vintage Pro, Fabric Vintage Jup, and Fabric Vintage Memorymoog. Each instrument in this collection captures the sonic DNA of cherished 1970s and 1980s polyphonic synthesizers and places it inside a powerful, modern instrument designed for how producers, composers, and synthesists work today.

These instruments have been reimagined through the AIR Advanced Multi-Sample Synthesis Fabric Engine for flexible, intuitive music-making. This shared engine allows each synth to retain its unique identity while benefiting from a common, modern workflow across MPC hardware and desktop DAWs."

Soundpaint 505 String Machine Walkthrough - The Secret Weapon of Vangelis


video upload by Soundpaint

"Grab the 505 String Machine here: https://soundpaint.com/products/505-e...

505 String Machine is the definitive ultra-deep sampled (UDS™) string machine. The most detailed sampling of the legendary RS-505 Paraphonic ever done.

The secret weapon of Vangelis. While the CS-80 became the icon, the RS-505 was the warmth underneath, equally present across his most celebrated work. Essential on records by The Police, Depeche Mode, The Cure, New Order, Jean-Michel Jarre, and Herbie Hancock. The string machine that shaped the sound of an entire era.

505 String Machine includes expertly crafted programs built from extensively UDS™ sampled parts, capturing every nuance of the original hardware’s divide-down oscillators and analog ensemble chorus. That constantly shifting, organic phase movement that makes the RS-505 impossible to replicate with synthesis is preserved in full detail. Expanded with our custom 505 C.A.F™ modeled filter for deeper sound design while staying true to its analog soul. The result is instant tone and deep creative flexibility.

"The Roland MKS-7, also known as the "Super Quartet" is a vintage, multi-timbral rackmount synthesizer module from the '80s that packs a lot into one unit: combines sounds and architecture from the Juno-106 (for melody, chord, bass parts) with drum sounds from the Roland TR-707, all in a single 2U box.

Features four separate MIDI-controllable sections (Melody, Chord, Bass, Rhythm), allowing you to play drums, bass, pads, and leads simultaneously, making it a versatile, all-in-one vintage sound source for MIDI setups.

This unit has been fully tested and includes AC power cable."

"The Roland SH-5 is possibly the most feature rich vintage mono synth ever made by the legendary Japanese company. With 2 LFO's, 2 VCO's, 1 variable state VCF, 1 bandpass filter, 2 Envelopes, 1 VCA, S&H, Ring Mod and a simple but powerful switch matrix for routing modulation this synth is more than capable of making some of the most incredible tones and textures you can imagine!

Made in the late 1970's 'green face' Roland era, when their synths had a certain magic sound that is hard to describe. Fizzling and alive with electricity!

A handful of patch points on the back give you access to all the essential controls via CV so that this can play along nicely with a modern set-up.

This particular SH-5 has just been fully serviced in our Synthesizer Rejuvenation and Wellness Centre and comes with a 90 day warranty of good health. Original lid included."

GHOST pedal vs 303 shootout with new V4 Firmware Update


video upload by Endorphin.es

"New GHOST Pedal V4 firmware update available now:
https://www.endorphin.es/modules/p/gh...

TB-303 ready: added a more 'squashed / pressed' response so acid lines feel dense and consistent, with better note-to-note stability
cleaner high-gain: reduced hiss and unwanted artifacts at extreme drive settings while keeping the same aggressive maximum gain range.
more musical dynamics: improved touch response and transient control so the drive feels more alive instead of flat
new 'Fairfax'-style, asymmetrical drive character: smoother, more amp-like breakup with a tighter feel and richer mid harmonics
dive more stable at high sample rate (96 kHz): optimized oversampling/filtering for premium distortion quality without CPU spikes.
What type of drive is it? It’s a high-gain soft-clip overdrive / distortion: amp-like saturation at lower settings, and full distortion territory at high drive with smoother harmonics and more sustain.
hall reverb is lusher: denser diffusion + more modulation depth gives a wider, more spacious 'big hall' feel
predelay for all reverbs is smoother: knob adjustments are cleaner with fewer artifacts while turning.
reverse reverb is more polished: improved wet shaping and saturation for smoother, more musical reverse tails.
spring stereo behavior improved: more consistent left/right output and a more natural 'drip' feel.
more stable LRRL and LRLR taps behavior: they pass properly thru the LP/HP tone filter inside the delay tank
creamier resonance: resonance behavior is more musical, with less clipping at extreme resonance sweeps.
comb filtering smoother when tweaking: reduced zipper/crackle when moving controls; more stable, playable comb textures.
delay: 7/4 divider changed to 3/8 (=dotted 1/16), 5/4 divider changed to 2/3 (=triplet 1/4). Meanwhile 3/4 = dotted 1/8, 3/2 = dotted 1/4, 1/3 = 1/8 triplet are working as is
dividers knob action inverted to properly match the scales around the knob
dry and wet properly phase aligned with less chorusing - still any MIX with filters applied may cause phasing effects which are unavoidable
hall reverb is selected after soft reset (to defaults parameters)
fixed an issue where very fast MIDI preset switching by Program change could cause the pedal to freeze."

Memories | Roland JX3P and Fractal Audio FM3 nostalgic instrumental


video upload by MIDERA

"So, I sold my JX3P, my amazing condition JX3P, because I had the System 8 and the Jupiter 6. Fast track to now, a friend sells me a beat up JX3P and I think "I'll test it out again..." And man what a synth. The System 8 really doesn't do it justice. I can't believe I kept the JP6 over the JX3P, which sounds far better than the JP6 or System 8. What a bummer. Now, just like the D-50, I sold a mint condition one, and ended up with a junker :/ Sigh... well, the Jupiter 6 is gone (couldn't be more glad to be honest), and I'm eyeing the System 8...

Fractal Audio FM3 used for FX.

APHEX TWIN - Pulsewidth COVER (Elektron Digitakt2, Roland SH01a, Prophet REV2)


video upload by nicola neeco

"Recreating Aphex Twin’s “Pulsewidth” using modern hardware synths: the Elektron Digitakt II, Roland SH-01A, and Sequential Prophet Rev2.

This is my cover version of one of the most iconic tracks from Selected Ambient Works 85–92, carefully crafted to capture its hypnotic pulse and raw analog character.

To rebuild the drum section true to the original, I used Roland R-8 drum samples (the same machine Aphex Twin used) loaded into the Digitakt II, and programmed its sequencer for the rhythmic patterns.
And for the iconic melody the same sample Aphex used: the first seconds of the track Butterfly Holocaust by Neutron 9000."
