Audio Damage Introduces AD-202 Synthesizer Inspired by the Roland MC-202



via Audio Damage

"AD-202 is a single-oscillator monosynth in the small-silver-box tradition of the early 1980s. One VCO with saw, pulse, sub, and noise running into a 24 dB ladder filter, one envelope, one LFO, and very little else. Every control is on the front panel, there are no hidden pages of options, and there is exactly one path from a knob to a sound.

Under the vintage panel it is a thoroughly modern instrument. Mono or eight-voice poly, per-voice analog drift, a tempo-syncable LFO with a delayed onset, MPE, MTS-ESP microtuning, and a post-VCA colour section with pre-filter saturation, filter drive, distortion, and a tilt EQ. The vintage part is the ergonomics. The rest of it is not vintage at all.

Same as the rest of our catalog: Mac, Windows, Linux, and iOS. No DRM, no subscriptions, no dongles, perpetual license.

Bad Gear - Better buy a PLUGIN!!!


video upload by AudioPilz

"Welcome to Bad Gear, the show about the world’s most-hated audio tools. After almost 30 years of ruthless online battles on the topic of software vs. hardware, synth experts of all creeds and nations were finally able to agree on a firm and resolute 'YES'!

Today, however, we are going to talk about Modal Cobalt 8. While many high end plugins and top shelf hardware instruments evolved to coexist in our sonic toolboxes on an equal footing this 2020 VA synth…didn’t."

The Crow Hill Company Introduces ARCANE STRINGS


video upload by CROW HILL

Press release follows:



EDINBURGH, UK: readily representing its first ‘big’ release in over a year (when the temporarily out-of-circulation GLASS STRINGS was effectively re-released with a totally redesigned GUI and added features as the Edinburgh-based enterprise’s workhorse string library for a new era in more human-sounding music and scores, coinciding with rebranding itself with an aesthetic that truly realised company co-founder and composer Christian Henson’s heartfelt dream of encouraging people to make music and help them on their journey, regardless of whatever point they were at and wherever their journey began), The Crow Hill Company is proud to announce availability of ARCANE STRINGS — taking the sampling rule book and ripping it up, ultimately resulting in a string library featuring amateur players in order to achieve an arcane, primitive, dislocated, microtonal, loose, and sometimes savage sound duly designed for media composers wanting to leave a truly characterful imprint on their next drama score, or, indeed, composers who want to gain extra devilish bite out of their existing string collections — as of August 14…

Joranalogue Audio Design / DRONE AND GRIT / eurorack patch


video upload by BRiES

"I was asked once what I use for my drones. The answer is: I don't know. I've been thinking about it ever since, but I don't have a straighforward answer. What I do know is that for this soundscape/drone I used almost all the ‪@joranalogue‬ modules, with exception for the module that I'm sequencing COLLIDE 4 with (Discrete Map by NSI).

There's a lot of interesting tricks in this patch:
I used crossmodulation on the phase parameter between the two GENERATE 3s. The intensity is set by modulating the vcas for the harmonic inputs.
CYCLE 2 is doing some gated cycling, activated by an output of ORBIT 3 with an offset from BIAS 2.
ENHANCE 2 is creating a balanced stereo image from two inputs: the dry signal patched to the MID input and the delayed signal (DELAY 1) patched to the SIDE input.
COLLIDE 4 output stage is used to slightly slew the melody for the main drone while the input stage is used as a pinged filter with some amplitude modulation.
CYCLE 5 is used as a dirty subbass... It's both getting synced by one of the G3s as receiving some fm from the other G3. FILTER 8s resonance is begin modulation as well as its frequency.
ORBIT 3 is used for all the modulation.
One of ORBIT 3s outputs is routed through FOLD 6 to create a more intense modulation for the time parameter on DELAY 1."

Inside Tokyo’s Boutique Music Hardware: Light Reft


video upload by Light Reft [Sasha DZA]

"We run a tiny hardware company in Tokyo and made this short film about why we’re obsessed with noise. We’re thinking about filming a longer documentary about Japan’s small independent instrument makers.

With this video, we want to open a door into the world of Japan’s independent music hardware scene, a world that usually remains outside the attention of a wider audience.

We are Light Reft, a small company founded by a group of enthusiasts in Tokyo. Over the past few years, we have developed and released two instruments of our own - monolit and concrete. You can learn about us on our web-site www.lightreft.jp

But we are far from alone.

In Tokyo and across Japan, there are many small independent companies, workshops, and individual makers creating unusual musical instruments, effects, and electronic devices. Many of them remain virtually unknown outside a small circle of musicians, even though this is where some genuinely interesting things are happening.

This video is only the beginning.

If you would like to see a full-length film about Japan’s independent music hardware scene, meet the people who design and build instruments themselves, visit their workshops, and find out why they do what they do - let us know in the comments.

And please share this video. If we see that people are genuinely interested in this world, we’ll continue and try to show this scene from the inside.

Video & Editing - Evgeny Joy
Sound - Sasha DZA (Light Reft)"

Leviasynth With The Tonverk Is Almost TOO MUCH Synth


video upload by EZBOT

"The ASM Leviasynth is the next big synth from ASM Synthesizers, the company that brought the incredibly popular Hydrasynth. The company is also host to popular sound designers and the CFO is none other than the Daniel Troberg, the "Octafather" formerly from Elektron. The Leviasynth is the deepest synth in my collection, offering more customization and shortcuts than any other synth I've picked up. Today, we will discuss it a bit and jam with it via the Elektron Tonverk."
