Cyma Forma ALT - Audio Explorations Vol 2 (SOUND ONLY) Avant Garde
video upload by Oakland Ghosts
"Warning! This one is pretty Avant Garde…
I’m still learning my way around the ALT and it sometimes feels like I’m an engineer barely keeping the train on the tracks. This one definitely wanted to jump the tracks - but there was an excitement in that! And everyone does love a train wreck…
On this one I added some drums and percussive elements to help drive it forward.
What do you think?"

How to play ALT soundscape synthesizer - workflow explained
video upload by cyma forma
"ALT is an analog soundscape synthesizer designed to expand the realms of sonic exploration, through intricate motion.
the idea behind this new ‘walkthrough’ video is to show you some of the workflow and thought process involved when playing ALT, and a few examples of how to achieve specific sounds with it.
you'll see how to easily move from an ambient sound to a more rhythmic one, making your soundscapes seamlessly evolve through different textures.
key features:
- unique, hands-on and screenless workflow - not even a shift button
- 5 voices with free frequencies or following scales to create beautiful melodies
- stereo panning per voice
- MS-20 style stereo filter
- wild delay with infinite feedback
- modulation pin matrix with 2 LFOs, a random generator, an envelope follower, and 17 destinations
- light and sound sensors to make it react to its environment
- midi and CV inputs
…
ALT is for creatives who wish to explore a different workflow that will give rise to unheard harmonies, complex rhythmic patterns and precise sound design.
ALT is available on kickstarter until June 28th.
this is the last opportunity to get the kickstarter pricing: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/...
