Korg M1 and M1R Editors Now Available

via Coffeeshopped

"Happy November! Today marks the release of two new editors for Patch Base: the Korg M1 and its rack-mount sibling, the Korg M1R. Available now on Mac and iPad. Let's see what they've got going on:

Program Editor
The Korg M1/M1R calls its voice patches 'Programs', and Patch Base shows you all of their parameters in an immediate and compact format. The Main page shows you an Oscillator at a time: for the M1, an 'Oscillator' consists of a Multisound (sample), and Pitch, Filter, and Amp information. You can see, copy, and paste every envelope. Below the Oscillator you have the Effects units, and both LFOs. And on the right, all of the Controller modulation options. The whole patch is here on a page.

Roland Jupiter- 08

video upload by TheUftone

".My first experience with the Roland Jupiter-08.
Aside from the fact that it takes a while to boot up,
it’s a compact synthesizer that truly satisfies both the desire for ownership and the craving for great sound. The sound it produces far exceeds what you’d expect from its physical size—
it’s the Jupiter-8, after all. Connecting it to the Korg drumlogue requires just a single sync cable
(the green one in this video); no special configuration is needed
(provided you haven’t changed any of the default settings)."

Yamaha AN1x & CS1x Combined Demo

video upload by Pro Synth Network

"The Yamaha AN1x, like many synths of the time, came with a bunch of built-in demo tracks, but unlike other synths, one of the demo tracks was specifically designed to work when the AN1x was connected via MIDI to its slightly older, sample-based sibling, the more affordable, but equally fun CS1x.

I've never tried it out until now, spurred on by Brad's superb VANIX plugin, coming soon courtesy of ‪@ISLAelectronics‬ [see this post]. So here are the two synths, connected via ‪@CMEPro‬ WIDI (drink! 🍻) under some 90s lighting, sharing a very anachronistic choooooooon!!!

Also featured for eye candy purposes are other Yamaha units of the time, a couple of SU-10 sampling units, an RS7000 and an RM1x, all fed through an 02Rv2 mixer, using no external FX.

No... YOU have a Yamaha problem! 😉"

Fractured Light: Eurorack and Synth Performance

video upload by MKustomAudio

"Another full performance video using a number of external pieces of equipment. The idea started with wanting to use my new Hikari Duos as a glitchy background sound effect that would start static but then have a pumping effect once further into the track.

While the Squarp Rample is providing some additional background samples, the Elektron Digitakt II is providing the main percussive and some melodic samples. For additional performance items, the Digitakt is running through the Noise Engineering Versio module with the 3rd party FRGMNTS firmware.

To fill in the additional melodic content, various eurorack and standalone synths were used including the Mutable Instrument Elements, Sequential OB-6 Desktop, Novation Bass Station II and Peak, Korg Arp 2600M and Moog Mother 32."

Floating 🌊 (Arturia Minifreak // Elektron Digitone // MFB Tanzbar // Roland S1 // K.O.-Sidekick)

video upload by 2-Minute Warning

"Four instruments, three parts played in real time, and one slightly overloaded pair of hands. 😅

The challenge for this one was simple on paper: play the PADS, BASS and LEAD in real time. No sequencers being abused here! Well… except for the MFB Tanzbär, which handles the drums. 🥁

On the MiniFreak , I use two different pad sounds: one for the first part, then a more choir-like sound for the second half.

The S-1 handles the bass, and its HOLD function was particularly useful here. It lets me keep a bass note playing while freeing one hand to do something else (change sounds, play the lead, trigger a drum break… basically trying to keep everything under control. 😅)

The Digitone is where I play the melodies, using chime sounds layered with a pad-like sound. For the outro, I switch on the arpeggiator.

And then there's the Tanzbär , which made things a little more complicated because I wanted to play with the K.O.-Sidekick effects during the performance.

I used the Tanzbär's separate outputs so that:
The main drum parts go through Sidekick Channel 1, with its compressor, EQ and Loop effect for the breaks
The hi-hats and cymbals go through Channel 2, using the compressor, EQ and Delay.

So while playing three instruments in real time, I also had to keep an eye on the drums, the Sidekick effects, sound changes and everything else happening at the same time.

Let's just say… there are a few beautiful mistakes in there. 😂

But that's the whole point of these jams: no perfect performance, just one take, a lot of things to control, and a human being trying to keep up with his own setup.

Hope you enjoy it!

As always, the performance was recorded in a single take. I mixed and mastered the individual tracks afterwards in Ableton Live, but the musical performance itself wasn't edited or fixed."

Melodic Techno House 🎹 | Relaxing Synth Live Jam | Korg Volca Setup

video upload by Underground Modulation

"A relaxing Melodic Techno House synth jam featuring beautiful melodies, warm analog basslines and atmospheric synthesizer textures. 🎹

This time, I'm going for something different: a calm, easy-listening melodic techno house jam without tension or aggressive elements. Just smooth electronic grooves, warm synthesizer sounds and evolving melodies.

Four Korg Volca synthesizers come together to create this melodic journey:

🎹 Korg Volca Keys – Main melodic line and beautiful analog sounds.

🌌 Korg Volca FM – Atmospheric melodic textures and evolving electronic sounds.

🔊 Korg Volca Bass – Deep and warm analog basslines.

🥁 Korg Volca Drum – Electronic drums and percussion.

My setup and workflow:

Everything is sequenced and recorded in Ableton Live. I'm using Ableton Live's delay and reverb effects to add depth, atmosphere and space to the synthesizer sounds.

Novation Launchpad Mini helps me switch between clips and control the arrangement during the performance.

Final mastering is also done in Ableton Live.

I love exploring different musical directions with hardware synthesizers, and this time I wanted to create something melodic, peaceful and enjoyable.

🎧 Put on your headphones, relax and enjoy the journey!"

NIOO ANALOG - Dual Sequential CV and Quantisation - Quick Patch

video upload by Steve Turner

"NIIO Analog has made an exciting debut to the Eurorack scene with a collection of high quality, beautifully engineered modules. In this video, I am using the NIIO Analog Dual Sequential CV and a Weston Precision Audio voice (HV1 and Trivium) as well as the Vector Sequencer and a Tenderfoot QT2."

The DUAL SEQUENTIAL CV is a dual channel analog modulator that steps thru 8 level sliders. Each slider sets the level of a voltage set by the level control, or any signal patched into the ALT IN.

The output from the sliders passes thru an envelope follower. The envelope follower can be switched to an attack decay envelope where the envelope level is set by the slider position. Outputs direct from the sliders, the EF/ENV, and a mix of both is included per channel, as well as mixed outputs between the channels for a total of 10 outs.

Step/clock inputs and resets are available per channel.

An alternative stepping circuit (BIT FLIP) can be switched on that causes the sequence to step out of sequence by either 1,2, or 4 steps.
