Home Concert 87 (Ambient liveset for rainy autumn evenings with Waldorf Crema, Protein, Super6)

video upload by Martin Stürtzer

"The wind was rattling the trees and the rain was falling against my windows while I was composing the music for Home Concert 87. I captured the noise from outside with a microphone and made it part of the music. The whole set was created using a layout with only eight channels:

1: UDO Super 6 (Parts 3 - 5)
2: Sequential Prophet 10 (Parts 1-3 & 5)
3: Waldorf Protein (Parts 1, 3, 5)
4: Waldorf Crema (Parts 1 - 4)
5: Field Recordings (Parts 1, 2, 4)
6: UDO DMNO (Parts 2 - 4)
7: Waldorf Microwave 1 (Parts 1, 2)
8: Roland JV 1080 (Part 5)

All patches, sounds, sequences and arrangements were made by a (cat assisted) human. No AI tools were used in the creation of the music, video and artwork.

Liminal: Synth, Eurorack, Guitar Performance

video upload by MKustomAudio

"Just some music put together using various standalone synthesizers, eurorack modules and guitar equipment. Recently I had to move into a new place after I had recorded most of the sounds. Once settled and equipment was running again, I was able to record a couple more items to finish it up. Much of the track was sequenced from the Squarp Hapax with a couple instruments being played manually. Below is a list of the sound devices used:

Instruo Arbhar, Qu-Bit Surface, Novation Bass Station II, Novation Peak, Korg Opsix, Elektron Digitakt II, Korg Arp2600M, Moog Mother 32, Puremagnetik Etches, Sequential OB-6, Ibanez AS7328 Baritone (Science Amplification Earthling into Two Notes Captor X+)."

Can the $67 FM-1 Sound Like an Elektron Sidstation?

"I compare 50 factory patches played on an orignal Elektron Sidstation to the same patches played on a $67 M-VAVE FM-1 running the SIDOU firmware to hear just how close the little synth can get.

He made a fair Sampler for FM-1 and it sounds HUGE

video upload by ferluht

You can find the M-VAVE FM-1 on Amazon.

"Another day of AI-sloping firmwares for FM-1, this time a fair lo-fi sampler with 120s of audio, zones/instruments mapping, a free loop sequencer, punch-ins and send-returns. Still not LOOPA but already closer"

https://github.com/ferluht/fm1-lofi-s...

fm1-lofi

A lo-fi sampler that runs on the M-VAVE FM-1 itself, plus a web editor (one HTML file) that builds sample packs and sends them over Bluetooth (BLE MIDI) or USB.

Samples are stored in the FM-1's flash as 16 kHz mono, 2 bit LMS-ADPCM: about 100 s of audio in the 520 KB the firmware has for a pack.

The panel is a menu of ten screens (FX, SEL, ENV, LFO, EDIT, GLO, HOME, SAVE, ARP, SEQ), each with four parameters. Keyboard zones, scales, per zone envelope / LFO / start / end / reverse, four send effects with punch-ins, an arpeggiator and a live loop sequencer.

The web editor (one HTML file, any Chrome or Edge, Web MIDI) imports audio, slices it, maps it to zones, previews the real 2-bit sound and uploads the pack.

"holic" v0.1 | M5Stack Tab5 Drum Machine & Sequencer

video upload by alloutofsync

"Meet holic, an experimental drum machine built on M5Stack Tab5. Inspired by the playful workflow of the Pocket Operator PO-32 tonic.

A 16-step sequencer with four drum tracks, controlled entirely by touch. Build rhythms with kick, snare, hi-hat, and noise.

The drum sounds are synthesized in code and prepared at startup. Create four patterns and switch between them at the next bar. Edit steps during playback, mute tracks, and play sounds live.

Retro LCD visuals and small animations react to the beat(not yet). Designed for portrait use, with audio through the headset output. This first proof of concept explores how a touchscreen can feel like an instrument.

Tangerine Dream in a box? - NACHTFAHRT firmware on M-VAVE FM-1

video upload by Guinan

You can find the M-VAVE FM-1 on Amazon.

"I'm blown away yet again by how great another M-Vave FM-1 firmware is. This time I'm playing the NACHTFAHRT firmware by Cranky Man.

Get the NACHTFART firmware here,
https://fartypants.github.io/fm1-nach...
It runs great in the browser if you just want to have a play."

"A generative 1970s Berlin School instrument. Two sequencers drift against each other over a slow drone, their filters breathing; a lead voice dreams above them. Let it play for hours, or play with it: the white keys give you the melody, always in the piece's key, over the sequences and the drone, while the lead plays its own phrases around yours.

NACHTFAHRT plays itself from the moment it is switched on, and it never ends: each piece builds, opens into a solo, drifts through a bridge and starts its long rise again. You are invited in. The white keys play the melody in the piece's scale, so every note fits, and the lead makes room for you. The black keys are effects while held: Rise and Close sweep every filter, Transpose lifts the sequences, Supernova, Twitter and more. SELECT turns the level of the layer you are looking at; PERFORM (SEL) mutes and solos the layers and pushes Filter, Wet and Energy.

WHAT IT PLAYS

Drone. Organ, strings, horn, saws, glass or a choir whose vowel moves, through a slow phaser, with the root an octave below; its chords walk slowly.

Sequence. The arpeggio at the heart of it: a Moog-style line repeated by the echo, its filter wandering, rising over the piece.

Sequence 2. A second line, usually a step shorter, so the two drift apart and meet again; now and then it moves an octave.

Lead. A gliding solo voice far in the reverb, phrasing in calls and answers; or your own melody on the keys.

Atmosphere. Wind, surf, space or tape hiss, where a piece wants it.

Eight pieces after the records of Tangerine Dream, Klaus Schulze and Ashra (Timewind, Wahnfried, Phaedra, Rubycon, Stratosfear, Sunrain, Mirage, Cyborg) and a ninth of its own (Sakura Rain), each remembering how you left it. Every layer has its sound pages and a Move page, where its filter wanders relative to the knob you set.
