Knock Out 🎚️(Teenage Engineering K.O.-Sidekick EP-136 // MFB Tanzbar // Roland S-1 // J-6)

video upload by 2-Minute Warning

"A new little piece of gear joins the setup! 🎛️

This time, I'm introducing the Teenage Engineering KO II Sidekick EP-136 , a small but surprisingly powerful little mixer, and a very welcome addition to the setup.

And this one is a little different from my last jams: there's no external sequencers like the Squarp Hapax or Arturia Keystep Pro involved! 😄

Instead, I'm using the built-in sequencers of all 3 instruments in the setup: the MFB Tanzbär , Roland S-1 and *Roland J-6*. It's actually quite refreshing to let the instruments take care of their own sequences for once.

The Tanzbär is on Channel 1 , bringing its punchy analog drums to the party. Channel 2 is shared by the Roland S-1 and *Roland J-6*: the J-6 handles the bass and chords, while the S-1 also provides the lead chimes during the intro.

The problem? The Sidekick only has *2 stereo channels*.

So, naturally, I had to cheat a little. 😄

"88Emu emulates the hardware inside most Sound Canvas modules and related earlier sound generators, used for retro gaming and DTM. It runs the original firmware on emulated CPUs and sound chips, including the firmware’s instrument selection, voice allocation, effects, MIDI handling and front-panel behavior. You supply the ROM images; they are not included.

88EmuPlayer is NOT a DAW-compatible plugin, but instead a standalone application for playing MIDI files and using those devices from a MIDI keyboard, sequencer or game. 88EmuCli uses the same emulation to render files to WAV offline using a command line interface, without having to wait for the song to play in real time."

Sequential Fourm - Ambient Kinda! An Ambient song made with Fourm Presets!

video upload by kgbirmingham media

"Sequential Fourm – Kinda Ambient
I have playing around with my new synthesizer the Sequential Fourm. I decided that I would create an Ambient style song using only presets on the Fourm.
I’m Not sure it really is all that Ambient, since it does have an identifiable lead line. Anyway, it was fun to create.
Enjoy!
For the Techies
Everything was recorded through an Allen&Heath ZEDi10 and into Fender Studio Pro 8.
Fourm: The signal chain is fairly straightforward: Fourm, into TC Electronic Plethora X3 (stereo output), into a pair of SSL SixChannels, into a Drawmer MQ-2 EQ/Compressor/Saturator, into a Lindell 77X Compressor and into an Allen&Heath ZEDi10 Interface/Mixer and recorded in stereo directly into my DAW (Fender Studio Pro).
I created five tracks, using five presets, which I messed around with, both on the Fourm and also by applying some effects in my DAW. I didn’t use the TC Electronic Plethora X3, since I wasn’t sure that I wanted to “bake in” the effects.
The Presets I used were all in Factory Bank 2:

Sequential Fourm - Chaos - The Song!

video upload by kgbirmingham media

"I just recently purchased a Sequential Fourm and I wanted to create a “Song” using only Fourm Presets. So, I laid down six tracks, using six Fourm Presets. I ran the Fourm through a TC Electronic Plethora (Chorus, Delay, Reverb) and played around with the Filter, Noise, ARP and Amp Envelope.
This is the final 'Song' from a 'Making Of' type video. I put 'Song' into quotes, because it is rather cacophonous. Anyway, I like the variations of tone, structure and noises!
Enjoy!
For the Techies
There’s not much to say about the tech. I recorded the narration directly into my DAW - Fender Studio Pro 8. I used an AKG 414B microphone running through an ART TransX Preamp into an Allen&Heath ZEDi10 Interface/Mixer. I recorded six tracks all created on the Sequential Fourm using Factory Presets.
The signal chain is fairly straightforward: Fourm, into TC Electronic Plethora X3 (stereo output), into a pair of SSL SixChannels, into a Drawmer MQ-2 EQ/Compressor/Saturator, into a Lindell 77X Compressor and into an Allen&Heath ZEDi10 Interface/Mixer and recorded in stereo directly into my DAW (Fender Studio Pro).
Processing was limited to Waves L1 Limiter, Beyerdynamic Headphone Lab and UADx Manley Variable Mu Compressor. No Reverb. No Delay. Do Effects in the DAW
Everything was recorded through an Allen&Heath ZEDi10 and into Fender Studio Pro 8.

Tape Fiasco 2 for iPad: the whole plugin, on a tablet

video upload by Phase Fiasco

"Tape Fiasco 2 is now on iPad. Not a stripped-down companion app: the same engine that runs on macOS and Windows, rebuilt for touch, as a standalone app and an AUv3 plugin.

Download on the App Store: https://apps.apple.com/us/app/tape-fi...
$19, one-time purchase. No subscription, no in-app purchases.

BUILT FOR IPAD
• Standalone app or AUv3 in AUM, Logic Pro, GarageBand, Cubasis, Loopy Pro, Drambo and other AUv3 hosts.
• Load your own audio as the sound source, or start from the built-in factory loop library.
• Record the output and share or save a WAV straight from the app.
• Ableton Link for tempo and phase sync across your network.
• MIDI Learn with mappings that persist across relaunches.
• Two-finger scrolling, resizable and rotatable layouts, touch targets tuned for fingers instead of a mouse.
• Background audio, so it keeps running when you switch apps.

Desktop (AU / VST3, macOS + Windows): https://www.phasefiasco.com/tapefiasco-2"

"Most audio plugins process your sound. Tape Fiasco performs it. Four independent time engines run simultaneously: a dual-grain stretcher that slows, freezes and scrubs in real time; a tape machine with wow, flutter, stop and scratch; a rhythmic slicer that repeats at any subdivision; and BendIt, a circuit-bent buffer mangler with a seven-zone pitch macro from subtle wobble to full DJ scratch, quantized to the host grid. Chain them in any order.

Behind the time engines sits another 30 effects, from spectral filtering and modal resonators to distortion, bit destruction, circuit bending and beyond, followed by a master stage with a three-band EQ, compressor, soft limiter and auto gain.

Routing goes deep. Animate any parameter with multiple modulators: LFOs, random sources, envelope followers, and bezier graph editors. Sequencers stretch, bend and stutter. The Perform section puts four macros and an X/Y pad on the front panel, each routing to up to five destinations with three-point crossfade curves, all recordable as host automation. If it moves on screen, you can automate, sequence, or modulate it."

Generative Soundscapes | Cyma Forma Rnd & Torso S-4 (Extended Sound Demo)

video upload by Andre Bregegere

"In this extended, unannotated sound demo, I’m using the Cyma Forma Rnd as a standalone generative synthesizer, processing its audio live through the Torso Electronics S-4.

🎛️ Routing & Setup:

• Track 1 (S-4): Acts as the main track for the Rnd.
• Track 2 (S-4): Heavily processed, functioning as an auxiliary send track for the Rnd to create vast textures.
• Tracks 3 & 4 (S-4): Occasionally bringing in a drum loop to anchor the generative chaos.

Note: The audio in this video was recorded live and then lightly mixed and mastered in Pro Tools."

Sequential Fourm - The Non Prophet Presets

"Sequential Fourm – The Non-Prophet Presets
I almost didn’t buy the Fourm, because most of the demos I watched focused on the “Prophet Sound,” which is great, but I was hoping for more versatility then that.
When I got it home and went through all the Factory Presets, I soon discovered that it is a very versatile synth with lots of character and it is quite capable of producing Non-Prophet Sounds!
So, the following are a whole bunch of Non-Prophet sounds, with a few classics put in, just because.
I did not apply any effects and the only plug-in I used was a Limiter.

Cyma Forma RND: Deep Dive & Sound Demo (No External FX)

video upload by Andre Bregegere

"In this video, I am taking a detailed look at the Random (RND) synthesizer by Cyma Forma. This review and demonstration covers everything you need to know to get started with this unique instrument. I walk through the RN's basic functionality, panel layout, and connectivity options before diving into some hands-on sound design.

First, I explore the RND's capabilities as a standalone generative synthesizer, letting the instrument's internal logic drive the soundscape. Then, I demonstrate how it responds to external input by hooking it up to a MIDI controller and keyboard to play it more traditionally.

To give you the most accurate representation of what this instrument sounds like out of the box, all audio in this video was recorded straight from the RND's headphone output. There is no added reverb, delay, or external effects—just a touch of dynamics processing and mastering applied in Pro Tools to ensure optimal listening levels.
