Have Yourself A Merry Little GXmas

video upload by sequentix

"A little bit of festive cheer on the Yamaha GX-1 - the first true analogue polysynth.
Retrofitting the GX with MIDI and resolving some major voice board reliability issues has been a long-term side project here, but will be complete in early 2024. More video to come...
Thanks to Leona for the lovely performance."

Carol of the Bells - Synthesizer Version

"Christmas is my favorite time of year, and I thought what better way to celebrate than to cover the Trans Sibersian Orchestra rendition of Carol of the Bells, but with synthesizers!

Hope you enjoy it, Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays!"

Christmas Beat Tape "Burn the Tree" - Made with Novation's Circuit Rhythm - Nug Chompah

video upload by Nug Chompah

"A Christmas inspired beat tape I put together entirely on the Circuit Rhythm. A sampled journey through 15ish beats all with a merry yuletide bent, performed in one shot by Nug Chompah.

For an idea of what is going on, the Circuit Rhythm has 8 sample slots and about 300secs of sample time, each sample slot being represented 1-8 by the number switches. The first row of coloured pads is those sample slots. Across the tape I have the kick in sample 1, the snare in sample 2, the hats in sample 3, the sleighbells in sample 4. Sample slots 5-8 are for everything else, bass, melody, vocals etc etc. I play out each beat, and then move on to the next one. I'm recording the output of the Rhythm into Ableton Live, and then triggering the movie quotes on my Push. If not for the sample length limitations of the Circuit Rhythm, I conceivably could have performed this whole tape with it entirely."

Chaos Bells | Make Noise

video upload by MAKEN0ISE

"’Tis the season to synthesize some bell sounds! The Spectraphon’s new Chaos mode is actually "Chaos optional." That is, it is very possible to do a nicely tuned modulation that gives the sort of sonorous ringing we associate with bells. The amount of cross modulation and noise that we add in, via the Slide control, is entirely up to us.

FREE! Synthesizer Expander Module | Cherry Audio

video upload by Cherry Audio

"In celebration of the 2023 holiday season and Cherry Audio's fifth year, we've released the FREE Synthesizer Expander Module, a virtual instrument plugin based on a classic 1974 analog synthesizer.

Get it today! https://cherryaudio.com/santa

Synthesizer Expander Module is Cherry Audio's free emulation of the classic self‑contained synthesizer module of the same name. Though it was a simple, barebones monosynth, the Synthesizer Expander Module possessed a unique tone quality, courtesy of its 12 dB/oct state-variable filter. With lowpass, bandpass, highpass, and notch modes, this flexible filter was the star of the show. We've precisely recreated it here with a filter section and Phasor effect programmed by award-winning synth designer Mark Barton (MRB).

'Sleigh Ride' by Mitchell Sigman, created with Synthesizer Expander Module"

Press release follows:

And best of all, it's absolutely free! Synthesizer Expander Module joins other free virtual instruments from Cherry Audio, such as the popular Surrealistic MG-1 Plus and the highly acclaimed Voltage Modular Nucleus virtual modular platform. As it celebrates its fifth anniversary in the desktop music production space, Cherry Audio is concluding an astoundingly successful year with this holiday gift to all musicians.

Despite being a free plugin, Synthesizer Expander Module is fully featured. It will delight both vintage synth fans and today's music producers. Synthesizer Expander Module features include:
Ultra-accurate dual oscillators

HWJ Extra - ’Noisevember' 22 2023 ambient

video upload by SynthAddict

"Osmose and RC-505

Ambient noisy stuff - some sad, some pretty…
It just occurred to me as the clock rolled over when I was playing this
that my Mom’s b-day started as I was in the middle of it.
We miss her very much. Hug your loved ones often, as they can slip away
anytime. 😢 RIP Mom, 11/21/93 ❤️

Happy Thanksgiving to all! 11/23/23"

"LSZ and NYZ are returning with a split of new drone material for the occasion of Juneteenth, where Bandcamp donate 100% of their share to the NAACP Legal Defense Fund. All income generated on our side with this split will also, now and forever, be donated to the same organization. It is the sincere hope of the two sound recordists that this music exists as a balm of comfort for escaping from a world that is far too miserable for far too many people.
