L-1 Synthesizer plays 'Mysterious Galaxy'.

video upload by Aleksei Laman

"This video I made mostly as a demo for L-1 Triple Discrete Midside/Stereo Equalizer/Resonator, L-1 Discrete Midside Microcopressor, L-1 Stereo Clipper.

This Combo: Midside Compressor - Midside EQ - Clipper, provides full control over dynamic, frequencies and loudness - separate for middle and sides. I used it at the master output of the whole mix, and at every instrument I played and sampled. If I had more expirience in making tracks and better studio, I would record better.

I had only two cases, limited quantity of the modules and cables. So I preliminary sampled instruments. Only the bass synth and the Vocoder go live from the modules. Others - from samples.

Drums - 909 kit from Ableton.
Chord instruments - acoustic piano in the break, and background organ were sampled from Korg TR.
Other instruments were sampled from the modules.

Samples played from Ableton. Then mixed in the Stereo Mixer, then to the Midside Compressor, then to the Midside EQ, then to the Clipper, then to record in Soundforge."

Kaivo: Output Overview

video upload by Madrona Labs

"Overview of Kaivo's Output Module

Kaivo is a software instrument combining two powerful synthesis techniques (physical modeling and granular synthesis) in an easy-to-use semi-modular package. It’s laid out a bit like an acoustic instrument; the GRANULATOR module acts like the player’s touch, exciting one or more tuned objects (here, the RESONATOR module, based on physical models of resonant objects) that come together in a central resonating body (the BODY module, also physics-based)."

AnymaV Noise Fix for Hard Synth Patches - Mark Steiner

video upload by Mark Steiner

"Patches that were made on the Editor for the Anyma Phi (hard synth) and then loaded on the Anyma V (plugin/stand alone) currently will often have white noise blasting loudly that wasn't meant to be there.

Until this bug is fixed... here is an easy work around. Tested and good.

I have a bank of 164 Sounds that work great in both (this fix saved/included) now for Wind Synths. $95 Email me at monkeydrums@hotmailDOTcom to order.

It is also included in my Time Travel Wind Synth package for $250... includes all my sound collections (about 800 sounds currently and growing, you'll get all future collections/additions as well).

Thanks!"

Aodyo Instruments Introduces Anyma V - Virtual Counterpart to Anyma Ph

Anyma V: With the Anyma Omega keyboard video upload by Aodyo Instruments

"This is a video of Léo from Aodyo Instruments playing Anyma V, our new virtual instrument, using the Anyma Omega prototype keyboard.

Anyma V is a hybrid physical modelling virtual instrument that blends electronic music elements with advanced physical modelling technology. It simulates acoustic sounds like strings and reeds, as well as resonating structures such as wood, glass, and metal. Compatible with any MIDI controller, including MPE controllers and DAWs, Anyma V offers polyphonic capabilities and seamless patch transfer with the Anyma Phi hardware synthesizer. Available for Windows, macOS, and Linux in standalone and plugin formats (AU, VST3).

It sounds very close to the original synth.

Live Session | Sie Medway-Smith and Dan Lacksman from Telex | ARTURIA

video upload by Arturia

"During a recent visit to Synsound studio in Brussels, Sie sat down with its legendary founder Dan Lacksman.

Dan and Sie discuss and explore the evolution of software instruments followed by a jam session using Dan’s Moog Modular and Arturia’s Modular V: a combination of virtual and hardware synthesis that reflects their production philosophy. We are treated to an evocative synth ensemble and mixdown utilising some new titles from Arturia's FX Collection 5.

Too Much of a Good Thing? // GForce Oberheim OB-1

video upload by Starsky Carr

"Review and demo of the GForce OB-1. In collaboration with Oberheim, GForce have released an emulation of the rare vintage OB1. The hardware will cost you over £4000 so this is an absolute bargain.

As we've come to expect from GForce it sounds fabulous, plus it has all their additions like the XLFO and XADSR.

I do, however, have reservations... and that's because after making this video and spending so much time playing with it
1. I now would love to get my hands on a real OB-1, even for just a few hours, and
2. with all the additions on this you realise quite how limited vintage synths and lots of hardware synths can be.

I'm glad I picked it up, but would like the option to have a bit more of the vintage experience - remove all the extras and leave me with the limitations of the original - its art of the fun of these emulations (for me at least)."

UVI Introduces HX-ODDY

video uploads by UVI

"Discover an esteemed classic that bestows dual analog oscillators and modeled filters for a powerful modern instrument with vintage hardware sound."

Playlist:
UVI HX-ODDY | Trailer
UVI HX-ODDY | Preset Showcase
UVI HX-ODDY | Overview

via UVI

HX-ODDY is based on the world's first duophonic analog synth, a capable and expressive 3-octave keyboard instrument with design heritage from the renowned 2500 and 2600 modular synthesizers. With heaps of configuration potential, oscillator cross-modulation, and its ARP 4023 SVF-like filters, the ODDY explored a broad and unique sonic range, notable both for its ability to mimic natural instruments, and an exceptionally rich analog character. Portable Powerhouse

Debuting in 1972, it was ahead of its time, offering powerful performance features, outstanding analog sound, color-coded controls, preset patch panel overlays to aid in programming, all contained in a small and portable form-factor. Its unique voice quality and analog character has kept it a sought-after instrument, and while it has seen numerous evolutions and reissues over the years, for us nothing beats the original white-face Mk1, which we used exclusively in the development of HX-ODDY.

HAINBACH & AudioThing Used the Moon as an Echo (And Made It Into a Free Plugin)

14:33 Making The Plugin

"I discovered the technique of 'Moon Bouncing', using the moon as an echo, when I was researching composer Pauline Oliveros. Her experiences with 'Echoes from the moon' sounded fascinating. Like with all experimental music techniques of old I wanted to try the process for myself. This started a two year long journey.

With the support of Martine-Nicole Rojina (who also helped out on camera on location) I got in contact with the radio telescope in Dwingeloo, a huge dish designed for space exploration. They helped me send signals to the moon: a sopranist (Johanna Vargas), a double bassist (Paul Cannon) as well as sounds from my patrons Sventothem, Michael Féaux, Andrew Stone, harper2k, Filip Ferngren, Dave Seidel, Gary Walker, Michael Peters, the void inclusive, Brendan Ford, David Williams, Joey Pop, Jeremiah Turner, Richy486, Joshua Philgarlic, Tim Moore, Grant Basma Horsnell, Arson Bright, Dan Kibke, Antonio T, Chris Sherman, Sergey, Charlie, Bartek Trame and Dixit.

This fascinating experience yielded an extensive set of samples that @audiothing and me analyzed and used to create the free plugin 'Moon Echo'. This way you can experience some of the magic of moon bouncing yourself. Download here (its free): https://www.audiothing.net/effects/mo...

Music, Soundpack and thanks:
https://www.patreon.com/hainbach"

"In our seventh collaboration with Berlin-based musician Hainbach we listen to the stars: Moon Echo is a free to download delay based on a communications technique that uses our closest cosmic neighbor, the moon, as a reflector for radio waves. This results in some rather crunchy and lively echoes, modulated by the movement of Earth and moon. The moon’s surface is an imperfect mirror and creates artifacts, unlike any other echo technique. Moon Echo is both a musical lo-fi effect and a playful tool for teaching about space.

Moon Echo is available for MAC, PC, and LINUX (VST, VST3, AU, AAX, CLAP, 64-bit only), and also as AUv3 and Standalone on the App Store."
