The Sounds We Forget To Hear

video upload by Starsky Carr

"The joy of sound, before it becomes music. A wind chime looping in the woods at Superbooth, La Monte Young's Composition 1960 No. 7 in a Liverpool theatre, and one thick, warm tone from the AJH Synth RadioPhonic that I couldn't stop playing.. 🎧 Put this on headphones or big speakers - the bass is lovely.

Why do we remember a melody but not a sound? Why is Superstition not Superstition without the clav, or In the Air Tonight without those drums? And when did we stop just listening?

Which single sound gives YOU a physical reaction? Tell me in the comments - I read every one, and I'm collecting favourites.

Late Night Ambient | Eurorack Performance #39 (MOMENTS)

video upload by David Falcon

"Sometimes music has this magic healing power. While making this one I was reflecting a lot on the small beautiful moments of life we often overlook while we are busy with other stuff. I felt more grounded and inspired me to be more present, more aware. Right here, right now.

Patch notes:
I have tweaked a little bit my Palette case again. Zadar was not right for this build so I swapped it for Pamela's New Workout from my bigger case. As the FX was being used as a filter I then decided to bring back the Shakmat Dual Dagger to this case. I love this build so far.

This is my first time with Ornaments and Crime module. It always looked a bit intimidating with all the various modes, but for now I focused only in one (Acid Curds) which is the perfect pair for Saich. It sends 4 note chords to the 4 V/oct inputs of Saich creating these beautiful chords. To add more interest I have Saich in arp mode, modulated with an LFO from PAMS at a different subdivision than the chord sequence. This way pseudo-generative melodies are created. I was improvising changing the subdivision of the arp within Pams.

Then there are Mimeophon and Arbhar providing ambience to the track. Mimeophon is the delay and reverb for the Saich part and in the outro I looped a bit and improvised within the module. It is very performative, it is my favorite part of this module.
In Arbhar is just a simple sample of my kids playing with some instruments and there is a triangle hit in the middle that sometimes pops out in the mix. This element, despite being subtle, is what brings the emotional depth to this piece in my opinion."

The Crow Hill Company Announces Availability of Utterly Terrifying CHILDREN’S CHOIR

Utterly Terrifying Choir - WALKTHROUGH video upload by CROW HILL

Press release follows:


The Crow Hill Company announces availability of CHILDREN’S CHOIR, crafting terrifying sounds from school-age children to deliver broad spectrum of timbral possibilities

EDINBURGH, UK: The Crow Hill Company is proud to announce availability of CHILDREN’S CHOIR — crafting terrifying sounds from a school-age troupe of boys singing with just the right amount of ‘beautiful menace’ and an ability to be creative while working with the Edinburgh-based enterprise in support of delivering an instrument based around an expertly curated sample-set with a broad range of timbral possibilities designed by media composers with other media composers in mind — as of September 21…

Asked about the task of crafting CHILDREN’S CHOIR, The Crow Hill Company co-founder and media composer Christian Henson has his tongue not entirely out of his creative cheek in response, resurrecting the famous showbiz warning usually credited to American comedian W.C. Fields, effectively, by way of opening: “Never work with animals and children! So what’s this going to be like? Getting kids to be slightly demonic, evil, scary… they love it! And they totally seem to get making it so pretty that it’s scary. So we thought we’d try and nurture that spirit in a children’s choir library designed particularly for media composers — people who write for film, TV, and computer games. Why are these guys going to be wanting to use a children’s choir? Maybe there’s something set in a boarding school, maybe there’s something slightly choral and religious, but, more times than not, something unsettling is needed, and that’s where we’ve gone with this one. There are limits to how long children should be asked to perform. So, we thought we’d use the time thoughtfully, curating a selection of singing styles that capture this spirit. As opposed to giving you yet another library with ‘AAs’, ‘EEs’, ‘Ahs’, ‘Ohs’, and ‘MMs’, etcetera, AHOH, OHEH [and many more singing styles are available using the EXPRESSION wheel]. There’s some lovely WAVERING stuff where the pitch centres change. They sound great and scary when you cluster up, but on their own — or just a couple of notes — they have all sorts of childlike menace. There’s terrifying RISES and FALLS. And we’ve got a whole bunch of SHORT [singing styles].

Korg 03R/W - SynthCorner Presets (Sounds Only)

video upload by wolfgang S vukan

"Korg 03R/W - SynthCorner Presets (Sounds Only)

If you like these sounds, you can buy the complete 03R/W SysEx bank from me with all 80 presets for 10 Euros (contact me at: vukansto at gmail dot com).

So, this is an old KORG ROMpler from 1991, a cut-down version of the flagship 01R/W. The 03R/W has less sample ROM (5 MB vs. 6 MB on the 01R/W) and lacks the Waveshaping and Emphasis features. Korg named this digital synthesis engine AI2, which stands for Advanced Integrated Synthesis (second generation). The first AI generation was featured in the M1 and T series.

Actually, I planned to sell this 03R/W, but now I'm not so sure. It reminds me of some mystic, dark sounds I created on the T2ex that I sold a decade ago. Now, I have those similar sounds in a compact 1U rack unit.

Recorded directly form 03r/W audio output to Tascam DR05x recorder (24bit / 48 khz)

Korg 03R/W specifications:
32 polyphonic (16 poly in dual Osc mode presets)
8 parts multitimbral (16 parts in General MIDI mode)
255 multi samples (5mb ROM of 16bit samples)
Single or dual oscilator structure per program/preset
Digital low-pass filter (VDF) per oscillator
2x digital effects processor (reverb, delay, chorus, distortion, etc.)
229 programs-presets (100 RAM + 129 ROM GM) and 100 multi combinations
PCM and RAM data cards expansions
4 analog audio outputs"

VAV N-Wave: Middle-Out Waveshaper

video upload by Magical Synth Adventure

"Join me as I take the @control_voltage VAV N-Wave Middle-Out Waveshaper for a spin!

The N-Wave is a really imaginative waveshaper. Some waveshapers might fold over the peaks of an incoming waveform, some might rectify them - squaring things off like a fuzz pedal. N-wave keeps the peaks of waveform - like the top and bottom of a saw wave - intact, and instead lets you shape and turn up on the volume on a section in the middle of the waveform - leading to unique tones. This is especially true, as you can vary the width of this middle section!"

video uploads by control_voltage

Playlist:

1. VAV N-Wave: Step Sequenced Threshold

One fun live performance (or studio) use for the N-Wave is to connect a Step Sequencer on the Threshold CV and generate different timbres for each step in a sequence. These act as accents and add a lot of life and feel to your sequences and the feel can easily be changed on the fly using something like a Joranalogue Step 8 as your source of steps.

2. VAV N-Wave: Threshold Ring Modulation

In Part 2 of the VAV N-Wave Video Manual, we look at using the threshold control and bipolar vca cv to create new waveforms that have a mixture of normal and ring modulated (quadrature) segments.

3. VAV N-Wave Mangles a Triangle

Here, the N-Wave does quite a number on an unsuspecting triangle wave with the help of some nearby modules. N-Wave is kind of like that one kid's house where everyone hung out and cooked up weird DnD campaigns or something. But for modular signals.

"N-Wave is a novel waveshaper for the Eurorack modular format. Unlike traditional wavefolders and clippers, which operate on the peaks of a waveform, N-Wave leaves peaks intact. All you need to expand your sound palette greatly is a VCO signal and a few twists of the knobs!

Using its internal bipolar VCA (aka four quadrant multiplier, aaka ring modulator) you can apply gain reduction and polarity inversion to an inner portion of the wave slope that you define with the THRESHOLD and OFFSET controls.

All functions can also be controlled via control voltage inputs. LFOs, Audio Rate VCOs, ADSR Envelopes, 1V/Oct signals, sequenced voltages, sample and hold signals, noise, and sub octave signals are all very good choices and can produce results ranging from very musical to very strange. An external detector signal can also be applied if you don't want to trigger the detector on the waveform you're modifying.

If you like, you can also use N-Wave as a high quality bipolar VCA, attenuverter, or ring modulator with the THRESHOLD set to maximum and dynamically mute the effect by applying 0V or a negative voltage to the threshold either using a sequencer or manual control, which allows for hocketing and rhythmic effects.

N-Wave can also operate all the way down to 0hz (DC), so, in addition to audio, it can process LFOs, envelopes, 1V/octave sequences, and any other signal that varies amplitude over time (Sorry, square waves and pulse waves. Your super-sonic rise times are hard to shape in an audible way, but you do work well as control signals).

N-Wave is 10HP and uses Burr Brown op amps for the primary signal path alongside high quality Texas Instruments ICs that are carefully chosen to best fit their roles in the circuit."

MAME Synths as Plugins?! Vintage Emulator Studio is Here

video upload by Autodafe

"Vintage Emulator Studio (VES) is finally here!

Download VES here:
https://www.autodafe.net/vintage-emul...

VES started from my experiments with the synthesizers, sound modules, samplers and drum machines emulated by MAME. Over time, after several videos, tests and even A/B comparisons with original hardware, I started wondering: what if these machines could be used in a more musician-friendly environment — and even loaded directly inside a DAW?

That idea eventually became Vintage Emulator Studio.

VES brings together a curated selection of MAME-emulated musical instruments in a single application, available as Standalone, AU and VST3 for macOS (Apple Silicon and Intel), Windows and Linux.

You can download VES for free from my website. As with all my free plugins and sample libraries, there is also an optional €5 Supporter version if you'd like to support my work and future development.

VES is also open source, and the GitHub source code is linked from the product page.

⚠️ IMPORTANT: ROMs are required and are NOT included with VES.
I do not distribute MAME ROMs, so please don't ask me to send them. You will need to provide your own ROM sets. The good news is that MAME ROMs are generally not particularly difficult to find compared with those for some other emulation platforms.

Also keep in mind that VES relies on MAME emulation. Not every supported machine is emulated to exactly the same level of completeness, so some quirks or limitations may come from the current state of MAME itself.

P.S. You may occasionally hear a few small audio drops during this video. My computer wasn't always particularly happy about running multiple emulated machines while recording the screen and audio at the same time — so those glitches are mostly from the recording setup rather than VES itself. 🙂"

Echon6 Samples and a FREE Auto Sample Tool for Decent Sampler

video upload by Starsky Carr

"Point a MIDI cable at your synth, walk away, and come back to a finished Decent Sampler instrument. I've built a tool that does exactly that — and it's completely free.

The Morphor Echon6 has been on my bench for weeks now and it still sounds fabulous — that lovely organic feel I keep going on about. The whole point of this channel is to give you the experience of playing the synth yourself, so I wanted to go one better: give you the actual presets to play.

So I started auto-sampling the Echon6 on the 1010music Bento… and then remembered why sampling is such a pain. It's not the recording. It's everything after: trimming, levelling, converting, hand-building the mapping. So I spent a weekend making a tool that does the whole lot, start to finish, and now it's yours.

Runs in your browser, works on Mac and PC, comes with a full manual. You might need to install Python if your machine hasn't got it (most have). It's not a polished app with a pretty icon — you click a command file — but it works, believe me.

Honest warning: I'm not a programmer. My digital assistant did the heavy lifting. I can't offer any support on this whatsoever, because the answer will be "I haven't got a clue." It should work. Have fun with it — and do tell me what you end up sampling with it, I'd love to know.

🎹 ECHON6 SAMPLES

There's a FREE 2-preset Echon6 Decent Sampler pack to get you started, and a full 20-preset library for anyone who wants the lot — 800MB of detailed multisamples, no effects, just the raw beauty of the thing.

🎵 And stay to the end — two finished tracks from the Echon6 sessions, because the music is why we're all doing this in the first place."

"Sound is Colour


Warm. Cold. Dark. Brilliant. Silky. Lush. Juicy. Fat...

Notice something? We use the exact same vocabulary for colours and textures than we use for sounds.

The word 'Klangfarbe' isn't a metaphor. It is how our brain actually processes sound: the true nature of sound is colour.

Your Secret Superpower

Your taste is your secret superpower! Stop asking: "Is this correct? Am I doing this right?" Instead, simply pick and combine sound-colours, place them on the "gradient" and ask yourself: 'Does it sound interesting to me?". This naturally leads you to your own, unique signature sound.

And you can feed it anything: the noisy call of a distant crane recorded with your phone, a vocal snippet or the sound of plugging in your guitar. As one musician said: "I am still trying to find a sample that does not end up as an interesting sound."

Made for Creatives If sound is colour - why are most synths complex, techy, full of numbers, algorithms, and operators?

Abyss II is built on a simple yet radical premise: a synth designed around how we actually experience sound. It keeps you in the flow rather than forcing you into abstract formulas. Just play with colours, as you would mess with paint."

Tracker TRX-12: Thirteen Minutes of Auto-Remixing Dub Techno!

video upload by Electronisounds Audio

"TRACKER TRX-12: https://www.electronisounds.com/trx-1...
'Dub Continuum' Sound Bank for TRACKER TRX-12: https://www.electronisounds.com/track...

WHAT CAN YOU DO WITH DUB CONTINUUM?
1. Render your own 'Inspiration Starter Kits.' Every time you render a pattern, you get a brand new, RANDOM set of full stems — from scratch. Render a pattern several times, LISTEN to the exported results, and pick your favorite groove. Then start a fresh TRX-12 session and use those stems to build a chilled, dubby techno track that's all your own. Layer in more loops from the Dub Continuum pack, the TRX-12 sequence presets, or your own sample arsenal to flesh out your track.

2. Use the loops on their own. Skip the project entirely and use the loop content just like you'd use ANY loops to write your own tracks.

3. Feed it YOUR sounds. Add your own 8-bar loops (110 BPM, key of F minor) into the Dub Continuum folders — and hear your own content get randomly remixed into the session!

4. Chill out and just listen. Sit back and enjoy self-generating, endlessly evolving, chilled dubby techno. Fair warning: you're likely to get inspired and want to start working with these deliciously chilled samples yourself.

5. Learn the Grid. Use the project as one huge tutorial and learning session — and see firsthand how many different Step FX commands are used in a real-world TRX-12 project.

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…

Hypercube Quadriphonique

video upload by Valmont

"Hypercube Quadriphonique", October 2024. This installation was part of a larger practical exercise at the ENS Louis Lumière master's degree.
Two meters above ground, inclined at an ominous angle, the cube generated four sets of textures layered into a quadriphonic speaker setup. A master OSC patch controlled all the devices in the exposition room ; on my end for my cube I was running MIDI and CV.
I first built a 16-channels 12-bits controller to get everything in harmony, but ended up simplifying the equation to use 4-states inputs and 4 audio outputs, traveling back and forth through the cube in a massive cable liana. The room environment was cyclically controlled by the master patch, and my cube would reconfigure its instruments to play along with the other creations. All sounds were made on a dozen oscillators, a handful of sample players and some Live processing. There was some random breakbeat chops too lmao I loved it, but I lost the session, so I only got some raw cube recordings, which I edited/mixed into this video. Additional black tiles were made to close off the bottom of the cube (just blank PCBs actually!)
Thanks again to Mains d'Œuvres, Franck for the safety tips, my father who helped me cut & paint the wood, and Neurotypic who lent me half the modules. I don't know anyone else who would just say yes to putting laboratory-grade devices into this... thing, suspended with fishing wire!

Tempera Quirks and Foibles by Benge

video upload by Memetune Studio

"I’ve been exploring granular synthesis since around 1997, when Native Instruments brought out Reaktor, because it was the first system I knew of that had a granular synthesis engine built into it

But even before that I was experimenting with certain samplers that could do a sort of proto-granular thing where you could control the loop start and end end points of a sample independently, and use sliders to scroll through the sample by hand (for example on the Fairlight CMI 2X and also the Akai S612)

But nowadays we have it so easy, as there are a whole slew of desktop granular devices coming out, often based on ARM chips, such as the Tasty Chips GR units, the recent Waldorf synths, the Torso S4, Endorphines Evil Pet, not to mention the Mutable Instruments Clouds and its many derivatives

And then there's this little monster, The Beetlecrab Tempera - a strange and tiny box which takes granular synthesis and does something completely unique with it

It’s got 8 stereo granular samplers at its heart, but the way you interact with them is using the 8x8 touch-points. They are called emitters, and you play them either over midi or using some of the touch-points. You can change and trigger emitters in x - y directions, and it's all extremely complex, and things can get really wild very quickly, so as this is my first patch on it, I decided to keep it simple by using just 2 of the 8 grain samplers

I captured the samples myself using the built in mic (sample 1 is just tapping the box with my fingers, and sample 2 is me humming

It also has comprehensive mixing and FX processors, so here is a little ambient sketch done in real time, using just the Tempera

I’m going to have fun exploring this thing - especially when I integrate it into some of my modular systems, once I have got my head round its many quirks and foibles"

"A Juno-6 and DX7?"

"In this video I take a look at the AMY board: a tiny, affordable ($29) Arduino-based DIY synth module built around the open-source AMY synth library. It packs USB, an SD card slot, digital and analog audio, MIDI, and CV I/O into a board small enough to fit straight into a Eurorack case.

I go over what the board actually is and what's in the box, then jump into a MicroPython REPL to show how the AMY library's synth, voice, oscillator model works, patching up a simple sine voice, triggering notes, and using the built-in PCM/sample engine and tag-based sequencer to create a basic drum pattern. From there I install it in my Eurorack rack, run through the signal chain (MIDI in from the Hermod+, CV/audio out, self-modulation via CV), and share some closing thoughts on where it's strong, where it's limited compared to something like the Disting NT, and what I want to try next (serum-style bass patches with compression/distortion).

If you've got one of these boards — or you're thinking about picking one up — let me know what you're building with it in the comments.
