Nord Modular G1 emulado (G1-Emu alpha 10) · Sound Demo 01

video upload by animatek

"Patreon - / animatek

Así suena G1-Emu alpha 10, el Nord Modular G1 emulado: el sistema operativo original corriendo sobre una CPU y cuatro DSP emulados, editado con Animatek NME. Sin hablar, solo sonido: una quincena de patches, de principio a fin.

⬇️ EN ESTE VÍDEO ⬇️

Una demo de sonido sin voz de G1-Emu alpha 10, el emulador del Nord Modular G1. Suenan pads, un órgano, drones, secuenciadores y un patch de cuatro slots con morphs, todos cargados desde Animatek NME. Se ve también el Patch Mutator de NME y el panel virtual del G1 con su pantalla, sus knobs y sus LEDs.

Si vienes del sintetizador modular virtual (VCV Rack, The Grid de Bitwig), esto es el modular de Clavia de finales de los 90, ahora en software. Es una alpha de la comunidad: el emulador no incluye ROM y necesitas tu propia copia de un Nord Modular rack con OS 3.03.

Guidance | Conducting an Orchestra with Voltage and Feedback Noise

video upload by Cinematic Laboratory

"I've been experimenting a lot this week and this video will focus on feedback patching, with two twists. It's not just circuit noise, I added a delay and a reverb to the chain. But more important, I added a ring modulator, modulated by a sinewave. So the feedback path is constantly flipping, cancelling waves or amplifying them. The idea is not mine, I got it from La Synthese Humaine who got the idea from Jaap Vink (synth & sonology pioneer, NL, 1970's) , linked in the video.

OK so it's mosty sculpted noise with no VCO and no frequency or pitch. I guess we can call it an atonal spectrum, a sum of sines that doesn't harmonize or add up to a note. Then I was wondering, what if we'd use a symphony orchestra to try and align with the tone/cluster, using the noise as a guide? In the early days, one would arrange a score for the orchestra to mimic frequency sweeps, and Xenakis made it a legendary technique using graphical scores. But this is the other way around. The source is my modular feedback exploration, so the score is voltage and audio. There are no notes, no scale, no 440 Hz concert pitch, so the orchestra would need to improvise and approximate whatever pitch is perceived. Will it be messy? Or will we always gravitate to order and balance? Spoiler. We'd do both.

How did I pull this off? I can't tell you. Not yet. Not now. And there's no 'best part' in this video. It's all good. Or all bad.

Getting started with the T1: Track types

video upload by torso electronics

"In this tutorial, we guide you through the three track types on the T1: Note, CC and FX. You’ll learn how to create note patterns, use CC tracks to control and automate parameters on instruments like the S4, and use FX tracks to process incoming MIDI.

Along the way, we’ll explore random modulation, slew, step edits, scales and Hold Mode, and see how combining track types can bring movement to your setup.

Currents & Nostalgia - Patch making with the coming synth from Unusable Engineering & more presets

video upload by Unusable Engineering

"This is the second video showing about the coming software synthesizer from Unusable Engineering.

This time it is both preset making and showing off presets.

0:00 - 9:40 Patch Making and Workflow (talk and action)
9:40 - 19:58 Presets Playing

This video is going through the basic workflow in Currents & Nostalgia - using its two oscillators, the filter and the slot sequencers.

The idea is to give you a feel for how it is to work with the synth and how it sounds.

After making a new preset, which in no way was prepared, I play through quite a few of the other presets with a touch of reverb on the output. I use Geometry Reverb (which is free with any paid purchase from unusable.net). In the patch making section I also use a few other effects from Unusable Engineering on the very end. Ensemble Diffuser which is an analog style modulation plugin, Geometry Delay which is a multi-tap delay and Cavitation Fractures, which is a fluid simulator reacting to sound and affecting sound. (They are all available already).

Hainbach - Inward Star

video upload by HAINBACH

"This is the fourth and last single from Vive, my upcoming album on Seil Records. It started out as a soundtrack I wrote for a film, for the Silent Movie Festival in Warsaw. For the album I reworked it to a shorter form, adding re-amping, tape loops and bells. But the core part was recorded on holiday in the Black Forest, on the Synthi AKS. I found it appropriate to add footage I recorded there for your enjoyment.

"An electronica piece built from fragmented piano sounds and layered lo-fi textures.

This piece was created with the EP-133 K.O. II and microKORG S.

Twelve piano samples are loaded into the EP-133 K.O. II. An eight-bar loop is played while Punch-in FX adds noise and glitch effects. The output is also processed through the MICROCOSM with reverb while sounds from the PHRASE LOOPER are layered over the loop.

The microKORG S is processed through the Chase Bliss LOST+FOUND with delay and reverb, creating sustained tones with a lo-fi texture.
