Some useful info from a previous post:

Note for extensive editing you need an external editor that came with the synth or this one from Patch Base. There was one for TB MIDI Stuff and Touch OSC as well. The physical synth only gives you access to a small number of parameters. You can find a review, interview, and tips and tricks posted back in 2011 here.

TLDR: The Move is great. Works really well using the Intellijel MIDI 1U via USB to sync the modular to the Move and send a channel of pitch, gate & velocity.

The Amazing Casio CZ-5000: A Complete Review and Tutorial

"Weeks ago I acquired a 1980's flagship synth: the Casio CZ-5000. Used by famous electronic musicians the world over, the CZ-5000 is a powerhouse of phase distortion goodness. In this video I explain how its unique Phase Distortion synthesis engine works, then demonstrate how to operate all of the controls to create and modify sounds. Lastly, I give an overview of some of the kinds of sounds this synth can create."

The Crow Hill Company Introduces POCKET STRING no-barrier-to-entry-styled string library plug-in

video upload by CROW HILL XTRAS

Press release follows:

"The Crow Hill Company creates POCKET STRINGS as no-barrier-to-entry-styled string library plug-in produced without compromise… with added ‘synthy spice’

EDINBURGH, UK: having recently rebranded itself with an aesthetic that truly realises 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 continues its journeying into ‘Season Two’ as a producer of resources and tools to protect, inspire, support, and provide opportunities for music-makers the world over, believing that music is, and should remain, a wholly human experience, one that is by far one of the most powerful forms of expression, escape, comfort, and remembrance, of which its newly-created POCKET STRINGS — styled as a definitive string library plug-in that opens the doors to collaboration between anyone anywhere, creatively combining live cinematic orchestral recordings with some rarefied vintage synth classics made to measure for added body, depth, and character — readily represents the cornerstone of this ethos, as of July 10…

“A string library that’s accessible to all without compromise — a distillation of the last 25, nearly 30, years that I’ve been working as a media composer, which means that I write music for film, TV, and computer games, giving you the very basic necessities to write pro-end string arrangements. Whether that be adding to productions, songs, collaborating with others, or, indeed, creating professional film scores — whether that be to demo for an orchestra to play, or, indeed, to go to broadcast, there’s been no compromises here. But accessibility is the key — not just with the price point, but with usability.” So says Christian Henson himself, perfectly positioned — as The Crow Hill Company’s original founder, forging forward by building upon his extensive experience gained from founding Spitfire Audio to originally offer a palette of sounds he had created for his own use as a professional composer to his film world colleagues by invitation only, though the rest, as they say, is history — to proudly introduce POCKET STRINGS as a never-tried-before strings library plug-in that aims to bring broadcast-grade string possibilities to everyone.

It's Independence Week and while I had intended for this to go out on the 4th itself, I put a bit more work into something special for you which delayed it a few days. I hope that's okay with you.

I wanted to give everyone a status update on how things were going over here and also offer a couple of specials to celebrate. Out of respect for the dozen or so people who have been patient and trusting of me I'm going to let you know how things are going and then share a few cool deals.

Dual Monomachine IDM with new aftermarket +Drives from MachineStore

video upload by MIDERA

"Scrolling through Reddit one day I came across a post about aftermarket +Drives. I thought it wasn't legit, or rather, I didn't know what to think.
This is the thread: / wts_drive_extension_for_elektron_machinedrum

Well, my Monomachines are the MKI variety, and I got them a long time ago, sans +Drives (which I didn't even know what they were at the time). I got mine really cheap, and of course, now surprised for what they go for. Anyway, I was always a little bummed that I didn't have the drives in mine, although it's not the worst thing in the world to use the computer to offload the patterns/data and start fresh.

Anyway - I bought these aftermarket +Drives for a really good price, got two of them. The folks over at MachineStore (SyntheticJudah specifically) are awesome and the whole process from start to finish buying these things and getting them (well packed) to my house, was really excellent.

Here's some other places to find their stuff:

I'm looking forward to whatever they release next. You should check them out if you have Elektron gear :)

Knobula Monumatic: Filters, Osc Modes, Chords & more

video upload by The Green Man(TGM) + sound.report by Heiner Kruse

"This is about Knobula Monumatic - accompanying the forthcoming test in Synthesizer Magazin 110 in german language!

The module can do more, but is also seen as successor to Poly Cinematic. It may sound very different but can also do the Poly Cinematic stuff. There are more CV options, too.
It's especially noteable that it can be used via MIDI, CV/Gate and played in MPE mode as well.

Instruō - Sound Design with Seashell (with Jason H. J. Lim)

video upload by Instruō

"We launched the Instruō Seashell this year at Superbooth.

This video is a behind the scenes look at a sound design session during which I scored one of the pre-release teaser trailers.

The video footage was shot and edited by Mathew. I used the Seashell as the exclusive sound source and scored the trailer.

No post processing or effects were used other than compression/dynamics.

This was my first experience using the Seashell to this extent within a production context. I was effectively late stage beta testing a prerelease build of both the firmware and plugin. I couldn't be happier with the features the Seashell's integration allows. This is a workflow I've wanted for a long time with this level of flexibility. The portability and form factor we've also achieved with Seashell is something I'm incredibly proud of.

My co-developers at Instruō are a true powerhouse of creativity.
I hope you enjoy the Seashell as much as I have been :)

Euterpe Itinera Demo

From sizzly clean resonance to massive distortion and everything in between."
