One Drum Loop, Infinite Soundscapes | Torso S-4 Exploration Vol. 34 #sounddesign

video upload by Andre Bregegere

"Welcome to Volume 34 of my Torso S-4 Explorations.

For this improvised live performance, I set a strict creative limitation: use only one single sample (a drum loop) and one single track on the Torso Electronics S-4. The goal was to push the boundaries of the S-4's granular and sound-design engines to see just how far a single piece of source audio could be stretched, morphed, and reshaped into a variety of sonic landscapes.

The performance was recorded live with only minor edits for pacing. Final audio was lightly mixed and mastered in Pro Tools."

"Soma Lyra 8 x OPXY

Lyra always has been a great sample source, and I really like the immediacy and playability of the OPXY.

Sculpting samples as I record, experimenting with slowing them down as I play create rich, stretched out textures. All harmonic content is being pulled apart and opens up a whole new world.

Sequencing modulation and effects on the OPXY add movement. Soma Warp was used to add some more movement at the end of chain.

Let me know if you liked it!"

Genki Instruments Katla #8 (MPE update!) | Winterdagen

video upload by Winterdagen

"Can a perfect synthesizer be made any better? Well yes, apparently it can :) The amazing people at Genki Instruments just made Katla even more expressive by adding MPE capabilities in a firmware update.

I have to say I always thought MPE was a bit gimmicky. I even had a Roli Seaboard Rise in my studio which I'd never properly used. The new Katla update was the perfect reason to change that. And oh boy have I missing out! I absolutely love being able to slide between notes and add expression with pressure and slides. I thought it'd be too complicated to play, but it actually really isn't.

It seems the team at Genki Instruments have hit a home run again. Without any real setup I got the MPE controller hooked up, and in no time I came up with this patch, which feels so expressive to play! I'm looking forward to exploring more MPE patches on Katla ❤️

A second batch of Katlas is available now at https://genki.is/"

Partials & Discrepancies | Understanding Discrepancies

video upload by Unusable Engineering

"A closer look at the Discrepancies side of Partials & Discrepancies.

This is a more ad-lib walkthrough focused on what the discrepancy system actually is, what it does to a patch, and how it can be used either to add a bit of life and variation or to push things much further into chaos.

At the core of it, each voice gets its own randomized offset values for around 40 different parameters. Some of those have their own dedicated discrepancy controls, while others are grouped under broader macro-style controls. The result is that each voice can behave slightly differently, from small differences in tuning, filter, or position, up to much more obvious divergence.

The dice control generates a new set of random offsets, but those values are otherwise static and stay saved with the patch until you throw the dice again.

This video is really about understanding what the discrepancy system is, what happens when you push it, and how it can make patches feel more alive, more unstable, or just a bit less perfectly digital in a very digital synth.

R.A. Moog Model 351 Theremin Donated to the Bob Moog Foundation Archives

via The Bob Moog Foundation

"One of the earliest R.A. Moog products, the Model 351 theremin, was recently donated to the Bob Moog Foundation Archives! Bob and his father, George Moog, a woodworker and engineer in his own right, built these theremins in the family's basement workshop in 1954. This is a 72-year-old musical instrument!

By the time Bob Moog was just 20 years old, he had already been experimenting with and creating working electronic instruments for a full decade. Three years after creating the Rensitron, Bob's very first working musical keyboard, his newly minted company, R.A. Moog Co., started selling Model 201 theremins in 1954 to a select few customers. Later that very same year, Bob and George created the Model 305 theremin and its scaled-up alternative, the Model 351.

The vacuum-tube-driven Model 351 theremin has a five-octave range and a mahogany cabinet. For its day, the tonal control was quite extensive, albeit elusive to most theremin neophytes. The comprehensive array of volume-related knobs on the left has no instructional guidance in the accompanying manual, leaving users to their own devices to adjust their settings for optimal performance.

The center switches were more self-explanatory, allowing the user to mix and match the tone quality and pitch octave in a process Bob called 'Synthetic Format.' Synthesis was already being defined and developed, as far back as 1954!"

Supporters Tammy and Phil Neimeyer generously donated this Model 351, appraised at $25,000, to the Bob Moog Foundation Archives. It was purchased around 1955 by Tammy's grandfather, James Gray Everhart, a lover of music, gadgets, and engineering. He was an early believer that R.A. Moog theremins could create beautiful music, which he would routinely demonstrate to friends and family!

Erica Synths Razornator: Review and Demo

video upload by Starsky Carr

"Erica Synths Razornator is the 4th 112dB collaboration FX unit and it's a resonator like no other. In this hands-on walkthrough I build an entire track (strings, dubby stabs and thunderous bass) from nothing but short pulses of noise fed into its Karplus-Strong like resonators. If you want to know what the Razornator actually sounds like before you buy, this deep-dive demo is for you.

The Razornator packs 10 resonators (five stereo pairs), a resonant low-pass filter, +24dB of input gain, a built-in compressor and an envelope follower — all fully MIDI controllable. Originally a 1983 Karplus & Strong algorithm for plucked-string and percussive tones, Erica Synths and 112dB have turned it into a wildly flexible tone-generation and sound-mangling machine. I run through the signal path, the root/offset tuning, the gorgeous presets by Eraldo Bernocchi, and push it hard with synths, hi-hats and kicks. Resonator, but not as we know it."

23:00 Final Thoughts



"A unique stereo FX unit with an algorithm developed by Dutch company 112dB, the Razornator features 5 chromatically tuned resonating delay lines that can emulate the resonance of physical objects - bodies of instruments, rooms, structures. Chromatic tuning of the resonating delay lines makes the effect particularly musical, because it allows for aligning them in chord-like intervals, while the built-in envelope follower adds dynamics to the processed signal. Featuring 12 parameters for detailed sound design, save/recall functions for all parameters, MIDI control over all parameters and a sleek aluminium case to match our lineup of compact desktop units, the Razornator will let your setup take flight in any live show, studio or sonic experiment.

The Razornator combines several well considered and tuned “modules” for stereo audio processing with the aim of altering the harmonic content of the incoming signal. The signal path starts with an audio GAIN STAGE that boosts signals up to +24dB (it can effectively act as an analogue overdrive), then the signal is fed through the lowpass FILTER with a RESONANCE control and after filter treatment it passes through five chromatically tuned DELAY-BASED RESONATORS that can be manually tuned or controlled by the ENVELOPE FOLLOWER. After the resonators, the signal is summed and limited by the COMPRESSOR, then mixed with the dry signal and passed through the EQUALIZER and finally is sent to BALANCED OUTPUT stage.

"The trusty Prophet 08. I've had this synth a long time. It's not super inspiring right out of the box but as you learn it more deeply, it's a lot of fun, really inspiring and sounds awesome. Especially once you learn the sequencer and how much you can do with it creatively. The LFO's and assignable envelope are also very cool. It has a lot of ways to modify your sound. Fun Stuff.

Kevin Parker Built a Synth and It's Actually Incredible: Telepathic Orchid Reviewed (Plugged In)

video upload by Splice

"What happens when you plug the Telepathic Orchid into Splice INSTRUMENT and let it run? In this Plugged In Splice's Devon Johnson ‪@dontgodcj‬ finds out — and the results speak for themselves.

The Telepathic Orchid, co-created by Tame Impala's Kevin Parker, is a chord-generating synthesizer designed to help producers and songwriters find musical ideas fast — without needing deep music theory knowledge or traditional keyboard technique. Paired with Splice INSTRUMENT, it becomes something even more powerful: a way to explore sounds and progressions at the same time, in the same session.

In this video, Devon unboxes and demos the Telepathic Orchid and its various creative uses and incredibly chord generating technology. He then uses the Orchid's chord logic system as a MIDI controller to trigger sounds inside Splice INSTRUMENT, building a full beat from scratch and showing exactly how the two tools work together in a real production workflow. From dialing in chord voicings and inversions on the Orchid to flipping through Splice's instrument sounds in real time, this is hands-on and unfiltered — no templates, no pre-built loops, just the tools doing what they're built to do.

Whether you're already a Splice user curious about the Orchid, an Orchid owner wondering how to integrate it into your DAW setup, or just a producer looking for a new way to create new chord patterns — this one's worth watching all the way through.
