Liminal Space: Keith Crosley's "Haunted Digital Reverb" Plugin is Here
video upload by Keith Crosley
"Get Liminal Space - CLAP format for Windows here: https://www.wavetables.lol/l/liminal-...
I made a plugin and it’s a 'haunted digital reverb'! Coming from yours truly, of course it sounds great, and a little bit weird, and has a lot of modulation possibilities… powered by WAVETABLES! Come take a look and listen to LIMINAL SPACE with me. We’ll talky, talky, talky about reverb, algorithms, and all of that good stuff. Grab your delay line and get ready for this modulation-a-go-go verbstravaganza!"

Omnisphere 3: Overview, Review, Synth Architecture, and History
video upload by Keith Crosley
"Spectrasonics Omnisphere 3 is here, and I'm taking a deep dive into the architecture of the latest version of this legendary synth! Join me for a talky takly exploration of the sound, features, and origin of Omnisphere, and details on the newest capabilities that other synth-tubers ignore. If you're unsure if Omnisphere 3 is "worth it in 2025", I hope you'll learn something from my deep (or at least as deep as I can get in 90 minutes) dive! And, if you're an old hand at Omnisphere, I might remind you about some of the deep features that make Omnisphere a classic... So grab your rusty spoke and get ready for a POWER-SYNTH-A-GO-GO episode of your favorite talky synthesizer content show!"

Korg multi/poly native: First Look and Listen, Micro-review! (Live from Margaritaville)
video upload by Keith Crosley
"At long last, Korg multi/poly native has arrived! Now you can have the awesome virtual analog sound of multi/poly on your desktop (in standalone mode) or as a VST in your DAW. Of course, it sounds exactly like the hardware... Which is to say, it sounds wonderful. I run through some of my previous Korg multi/poly patches (featured in my previous three-part review and deep dive series), talk briefly about the 3 oscillators, give you a quick look at the interface, and show off a few new wavetable sounds based on the "timbral extraction" techniques from KRC Orchestral Impressions. Also, I'm wasting away in Margaritaville -- literally -- so grab your shaker of salt and join me for this yacht-rock-a-go-go episode of your favorite talky synthesizer content show.

High on Modulation: Programming Classic 80s Brass Sounds, Synthesis as a Folk Art, and More
video upload by Keith Crosley
"Let's get inspired by vintage VHS synth nerdery and dig into some modulation mayhem! I accidentally make a reaction video to a wonderfully unhinged 80s Steve Porcaro synth-programming tape, explain Korg multi/poly modulation (hey there @robst247 ), and put some of Steve's ideas into action with a classic Toto-style “Africa” brass with Arturia Pure LoFi. I also talk about how I think about synthesizer programming, answer the question, “What is synthesis?” and talk about synth programming as a folk art. So grab a Coke (or other stimulant of choice) and join me for a MODULATION-A-GO-GO episode of your sniff favorite talky synthesizer content show!"

"We're synthesizing waveforms and wavetables with math... And we're correcting a few errors. Come along with me as we explore the supernaturally bell-like sounds of waveforms made with the polygonal number series. And... I know it seems unlikely... but I discovered that I had made an error in my original calculations of the polygonal waveforms. But it turns out it doesn't matter because what I came up with was bad-ass, anyway. Along the way, I drop a few synthesizer programming tips, roll my eyes, and make some bell-icous synthesizer tones.

There's a New Plugin That Uses Wavetables as Spectral Filters — Wavefield by Fine Increments
video upload by Keith Crosley
"Two new uses for wavetables today — and neither is synthesis. First: smallcircles.net/waveforms, a web tool by KRC Mathwaves user Quentin that renders any audio file as stacked ridgeline plots — instant Peter Saville/Joy Division "Unknown Pleasures" album cover art. (Fun fact: the cover visualizes radio pulses from pulsar CP 1919, originally plotted by Harold Craft Jr. for his 1970 Cornell PhD thesis.) Second: Wavefield from Fine Increments, a brand-new spectral filter plugin by Seth Watson that turns wavetable frames into FFT gain curves — three modes (Magnitude, Spectral IR, Phase Warp), tempo sync, stereo spread, and wavetable import. We also drop Wavefield into a Bitwig delay feedback chain for spectral delay, feature Authentic Soundware's new Space Age Colors library, and close with Liminal Space reverb for that Blade Runner/Lexicon 224 vibe. So grab your spectral filter and hold on to your pulsar for this wavetables-a-go-go episode of your favorite talky synthesizer content show!

How to Import Wavetables to Vital (VST Wavetable Synth)... Like the Free Wavetables in KRC Mathwaves
video upload by Keith Crosley
"Here, I demonstrate 2 ways to import what I call Serum-style wavetables (32-bit, 2048 samples-per-frame .wav files) to the Vital VST synth (well... sort of). I (1) explain how a single wavetable can be dragged and dropped from your filesystem to a Vital oscillator... but apparently that only works in Vital's standalone mode. And (2) show how to import a folder of wavetables (such as folders from the free version of KRC Mathwaves) can be imported.
Along the way, I drop a couple of tips about using the free wavetables in the KRC Mathwaves sampler (and full version), with a dose of self-deprecating humor. Like and subscribe for MOAR talky synthesizer content, mmm-kay?

Korg multi/poly: Deeper Dive and New multipoly-inspired Wavetables!
video upload by Keith Crosley
"Time for moar virtual analog goodness with the Korg multi/poly! In my second (perhaps third) look at multi/poly, I focus on some new and very "synthy" wavetables (and their component waveforms) that are inspired by — and perfect for — loading into your multi/poly, modwave, or any modern wavetable synth. (Such as PhasePlant, Vital, Serum, Eurorack hardware, Bitwig, Surge XT... I mean, pretty much whatever.) I explore 9000+ new wavetables from the new "KRC Synth Sort and Zero Crossing" wavetables collection and drop the usual synth programming and sound design tips-n-tricks along the way. So grab your spectral centroid and get ready for some hot subtractive synthesis action for this zero-crossings-a-go-go episode of your favorite talky synthesizer content show!
[If you feel like you've seen this video before, I apologize... Had a bad upload on the first try and had to re-do it.]
