FM synthesis using only samples - Yamaha EX5

video upload by Floyd Steinberg

"Until the Waldorf Quantum and Iridium came along, the Yamaha EX5 was the only hardware synthesizer that could frequency modulate samples with other samples. In this video, I use this to turn a sample of my own voice into a somewhat synth-brassy sounding patch using a sine wave sample as a modulator.

GreyScale-HyperPulse #duos #cs10 | Phase5

video upload by plantssystem

"GreyScale releases 'HyperPulse' — a raw pulse forged by Duos and the Yamaha CS‑10.
Minimal voltage shifts collide with tight rhythmic logic, creating a pulse that keeps mutating in real time. A single line of energy, pushed into overdrive."

GreyScale - Phase5 "The boundary where everything loses its color.

The GreyScale project, Chapter 5 (Phase 5), has finally begun.

'GreyScale - Phase 5'

A soundscape constructed more deeply and meticulously through the previous phases.

We have poured the emotions that are losing their form, and the truth that lies beyond, into the sound. We were able to reach Phase 5 thanks to all of you who always listen.

Please enjoy the expansive world of sound that fills every corner, using headphones or speakers.

すべてが色を失う境界線。

GreyScaleプロジェクト、第5章（Phase5）がついに始動。

「GreyScale - Phase5」

これまでのフェーズを経て、より深く、より緻密に構築されたサウンドスケープ。

形を失いゆく感情と、その先にある真実を音に込めました。Phase5まで辿り着けたのは、いつも聴いてくださる皆さんのおかげです。

ぜひ、ヘッドフォンやスピーカーで、隅々まで広がる音の世界を楽しんでください。"

The Terminal Island Freeway (CA 47 & 103) | Synthesizer soundtrack

video upload by CatSynth TV

"We return to Terminal Island to explore its freeways anew after several major construction projects, starting with California highways 103 and 47, which form the Terminal Island Freeway. The island and its surroundings are at the southern end of Los Angeles, and host the massive ports of Los Angeles and Long Beach. This gives the drive an industrial, surreal, and delightfully dystopian vibe. The music, which combines metallic sounds with a sense of solitude, reflects the experience.

The Terminal Island Freeway begins at an intersection near the southern terminus of Interstate 710 and heads north, crossing the Commodore Schuyler F. Heim Bridge onto the mainland, where 47 and 103 split. We stick with CA 103 and the freeway, passing by some large industrial facilities and CA 1, and ending at modest intersection with Willow Street in Long Beach.

Synthesizers used:
Arturia Augmented Persia and CMI V
Yamaha RX5 vintage drum machine
Anukari 3D physics modeling synth
Cherry Audio DS-2, Spirit, and Filtomika
AudioThing Wires
EastWest Fab Four, Stormdrum 3, and Orchestral Percussion"
