The Living Room - an idea/sketch Zoia, M8, Razzmatazz, NTS-3, MT-32 pi

video upload by Arman Bohn

"An 'in progress' sketch for an OST I'm working on.

My 2nd Zoia patch, 'Dream Shrine #2', is a four voice, generative synth thingy with master tempo and adjustable meter for each voice. The voices are routed through a reverb and ping-pong delay module. The four voices are also sending MIDI notes out on different channels - which are triggering 2 harp voices, a vibraphone and a celeste voice on the MT-32.

The Zoia patch is also sending clock sync out to the Razz to keep it in tempo. The M8 is playing back creepy public domain samples from an old-sci radio show about an alien that haunts your dreams called "The Green Thing".

NTS-3 is chopping the drums.

Not sure if this will be the final configuration - I'd like some bass in there as well. Just playing around at this point.

The album is an ambient-ish OST that should be out by this summer!"

Can’t Believe How Good the MicroKorg Is

video upload by The Unperson

"In this video I revisit the legendary Korg MicroKorg — a synth that has remained one of the best-selling hardware instruments for over two decades.

Released in 2002, this compact virtual-analog powerhouse has appeared in countless studios, stages, and bedrooms around the world… but does it actually hold up today?

I explore the sound engine, presets, vocoder, arpeggiator, and hands-on controls, and put it through its paces in a modern setup to see whether the MicroKorg still deserves its iconic status — or whether nostalgia is doing the heavy lifting.

If you’ve ever wondered why this little synth refuses to disappear, this video should answer that question.

I have to admit that I was really blown away with the depth and quality of the MicroKorg. I think it's absolutely amazing! :D"

Blue Monday/New Order (Circuit Tracks Revision)

video upload by Guinan

"Almost! It's another Monday, so what could be more apt than todays 1983 New Order classic, Blue Monday.

As per usual this is ALL Novation Circuit Tracks playing live from the audio outs direct into my Zoom L6 recorder. No extra synths/no effects/no extra edits.

This is a revision of a version I did about 12 months ago. There is a lot going on in this track so I've squeezed a bit extra out of the groovebox in using some short melodic samples in place of drum sounds on 3 pads.

I'd initially dug it out to get me started on an Ableton Move version of the track and with some polished up samples and a little bit of editing I thought it was worth a revision.

More details for synth nerds,

BPM 131
I originally programmed the top arpeggio line on the Circuit Tracks quickly realising I was going to run out of voices. I sampled the riff and stuck it on a pad and played it back as a pattern and saved myself a voice, I couldn't get a bass synth sound that would double up as the main synth and as 'Peter Hook'. Instead I played a short Spaghetti Western style bass guitar riff through a spring reverb in my best impression of Hooky and sampled it on the Circuit Rhythm. I then transferred this onto one of the drum sample pads and put it on Drum 4 as another pattern, finally there is a choir sample the band played on an old Emulator. I simply copied the same source they used ( Kraftwerk's track, 'Uranium') and made a loop on another one of the drum pads, turning it into a 3rd pattern for Drum 4."

Reverb into waveshaping

video upload by Richard DeHove

"A single oscillator into reverb and then distortion and waveshaping - I thought the result might be a serving of noise mush. Instead I think it turned out surprisingly well defined. Sometimes it felt like a massive unison patch, othertimes like a wonderfully unstable test tone. All up a type of tone salad that I find satisfying to twiddle and relaxing to listen to.

The sidequest here ended with 'fluctiphile' - a word I've coined from the Latin "fluctus" meaning billow, flow or wave in motion and the Greek "phile" meaning love of or fond of. So "fluctiphile" is a lover of waveforms. An outrage that no such term was available. So the next time you're showing someone the wonders of a modulated square wave, or a perfect sine, and they express their appreciation you can then congratluate them on their good taste as a fellow fluctiphile.
