Surfaces, Layers, Spaces - Towards a Continuum of Sound

video upload by La Synthèse Humaine

Also see Jaap Vink and Recursive Sound, and additional episodes here.

"I embarked on the electro-acoustic project Infra in the autumn of
1978, and completed it in the summer of 1979, working with
occasional interruptions at the Institute of Sonology at Utrecht University.

In contrast to earlier work partly aimed at providing a constantly
new view of a field of acoustical events which was as homogenous as possible, my main idea here was to assemble as wide
a range as possible of electro-acoustical sounds under the
aspect of cybernetic regulation, thus generating a continuum
integrating certain timbre characteristics of instrumental, vocal
and electronic categories, even previously unexplored ones.
One of my premisses was to reveal the oscillation curves of a
material in certain resonance ranges, using random-controlled
processes. The sonorous profile was extended step by step into
allophonic sound phenomena possessing the property of
merging with one another.

This music can be termed 'abstract'. Perhaps concepts such as
surfaces, layers, spaces, constellations, transitions and
reflections will help the listener to understand it.

New 4 Zone CV Bus Case | Make Noise

video upload by MAKEN0ISE

"A brand new edition of the 7U Case has arrived! So let's make a patch in a Shared System in the 2013 wooden Enclave 7U that is still going strong to this day!

There is at least one error in the voiceover for this video: can you catch it?

Our 208hp 7U 4 Zone CV Bus Case arrives ready to put to use with your modules, patch cables and inspiration. The powder coated metal construction offers excellent mechanical durability. The mounting rails have been updated to black anodized tapped strip, replacing the sliding nut design of previous versions of the case. The lid is removable and can be closed with the system fully patched. The sleek matte black finish was selected to match our line of Black & Gold modules, and it looks great with just about any module installed. This finish will wear nicely showing the story of your modular synth's travels over the years.

The Make Noise 4 Zone Power system is a new approach to accommodating the ever growing universe of Eurorack modules.The multi-zone power solution is like having multiple independent power supplies in a single case. This allows for isolating noisy modules from noise sensitive modules. Each Zone features isolated +12 VDC and -12VDC supplies and a dedicated ground return path. Included are 31 power shrouded connectors to help prevent incorrect installation. The total available power available is +12VDC @ 4A, -12VDC @ 2.4A and +5VDC @ 1A.

HYP-1 for M-VAVE FM1

video upload by RedtailWorks

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

"Explore the features and functions of the HYP-1, a custom firmware for the M-VAVE FM-1"

https://rustypawz.github.io/fm1-HYP1/

HYP-1 turns the M-VAVE FM-1 into a hypnotic techno and acid machine. It plays from the moment it's switched on: a breathing pad, a deep drone, a generative 303 line and grain, over drums you sequence. You shape the voices like a small modular, flip patterns on the bar, break it down, build it up, and record the whole performance into your DAW.

Generative Ambient Machine (AMB-1) Inspired by Brian Eno's Music for Airports for the M-VAVE FM1

video upload by DECIMA1

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

"Today I cover the FM-1 Generative Ambient Machine (AMB-1) get it here: https://charlesvestal.github.io/fm1-a..."


"A generative ambient machine, inspired by Brian Eno's Music for Airports. It plays itself from the moment it's switched on. You don't perform it, you tend it: pick a piece and a scale, take notes out, put them back, and let it grow.

THE GARDEN

Pad. Four breathing voices, a Rhodes or sung voices, each swelling and fading on its own cycle, so the chord forms and dissolves. Now and then it drifts to another chord in the scale.

Bells. Soft FM bells on four tape loops 13, 17, 23 and 29 beats long, sliding against each other so the melody never quite repeats.

Bass. The chord's root, low and gliding.

Pulse. A thump and two hats on Euclidean patterns of 16, 12 and 7 steps.

Space. A tape echo, a long tape loop and a plate reverb: most of what you hear. REC freezes the chord and lets the reverb ring on forever.

Eight pieces, each remembering how you left it. The keys are the scale: press one to take its note out or put it back. A slow tide between sparse and full, and rests now and then, keep it moving for hours."

How to make the Korg Minilogue XD sound like a Roland JP-8000

video upload by MrSynthmania

"Transform your Korg Minilogue XD into a trance legend!

Get the bundle of 16 Oscillator-Models here: https://synthmania.de/produkt/minilog...

Get the iconic Roland JP-8000 SUPERSAW sound as a digital User Oscillator – with the same parameters as the original.

This is part of my complete Bundle with additional 15 powerful User Oscillators for the Minilogue XD and NTS-1 (MKi).

In this video I’m showing the SUPERSAW in a short trance track and walking through some of the custom parameters:

🎛️ Phase – Control the massive width of the 7 supersaw waves
🎛️ Mix – Balance the dry and detuned signals perfectly
🎛️ Brightness – Open up the filter character for piercing leads
🎛️ SubOsc – Add massive low-end to your supersaw patches
🎛️ Octave Switch – Choose between 1 or 2 octaves for the SubOsc
🎛️ Drive – Boost the punch of the sound

Perfect for owners of the Minilogue XD who want classic trance and progressive sounds."

"This oscillator was written from the ground up in C++ for maximum efficiency and sonic uncompromising quality. Instead of simply stacking standard sawtooth waves, the code uses mathematical refinements otherwise found only in high-end plugins:

Original detune behavior: The oscillator calculates the phase behavior of 7 synchronized sawtooths using the exact asymmetric detune ratios of the original Roland JP-8000.

Fully band-limited: By employing optimized band-limited sawtooth algorithms, the sound stays absolutely clean and free of annoying aliasing even in the highest notes.

Analog-modulated filter design: Inside the code runs a cascade of four highpass filters plus a specialized high-shelf EQ based on BiQuad filter structures. This delivers an extremely clean bass range and silky highs.

Additional Analog U.S. Listings

"This one is in fair cosmetic condition and working 100%. It has just been serviced and with some restoration. As you can, this is the original and not the modern reissue, or Chinese clone. Although this listing is marked as a US sale only, I will ship to most countries. Not sold as-is!

Cosmetically- Nothing is mint in my opinion and this one is no exception. There are a lot of imperfections, but overall it looks decent. All of the visible screws were replaced.

Internally- Beside a couple of repairs, the unit has been completely disassembled and cleaned, all potentiometers, the switch, and jacks have been cleaned, all of the electrolytic capacitors have been replaced and some solder joints touched up. This might be updated."

Liminal Space 2 RC7: Tape, Fuzz & Beautiful New Reverb Spaces

video upload by Keith Crosley

"Liminal Space 2 RC7 now has tape saturation, tape shimmer, fuzz, robot speech, and new Authentic Soundware-inspired spaces. Your old pal Keith went in to update his haunted digital reverb synth and apparently forgot where the brakes were. So grab your headphones: we're going from beautiful studio strings to a cassette deck that probably shouldn't be allowed to drive!

First, Space Age Strings from Authentic Soundware meets four new reverb banks evolved from Jared Hunter's impulse responses, used with his permission. We explore Color EQ and Decay Color, compare Eastside Church with its source IR, and squeeze into the tiny Relic Room. These are algorithmic reverbs inspired by measured spaces; the IRs aren't playing inside the plugin.

Then things get gloriously unreasonable. The new GRIT module brings warmth, crunch, wavefolding, bitcrushing, shoegaze fuzz, varispeed tape, and Speak & Spell-style speech processing. We build tape shimmer, stereo wow and flutter, and a weird reverse-tape bloom. How many ways can you bend pitch in a reverb? Apparently, ALL OF THEM.

We also cover the new "Clean" tank filtering, Vulture 224 vintage flavor, spring/plate Material, Follow-driven reverb ducking, Lexitone Split Decay, and a quick return to True Shimmer. Plus a "Skippy Save" shortcut for your own wonderfully questionable patches. Woot!

Buzz Zone V3

video upload by DATABROTH

This video was sponsored by Toybox Audio: https://www.toyboxaudio.com/products/...
Read my full review here: https://www.databroth.com/blog/buzz-z...

Buzz Zone is a boutique performance-oriented synth with a rich set of features, cutting edge DSP and a streamlined modern interface for endless inspiration and experimentation

The synth has two engines that can be layered together for a range of complex sounds and textures. The 'Synth' engine is a great sounding wavetable oscillator with a unison function for buzzy, harmonically rich timbres, hence the name! The 'Sample' engine mixes in additional textures or attack samples over the sound.

Buzz Zone has 6 sequencers, built for messing around with phrases, riffs, and ideas before locking things down: grab a few bars on a controller and drop them into a slot, scrub the playhead to audition the result before committing it, or trigger and transpose sequences live from a keyboard or pad controller.

Someone Ported ReBirth to Modern macOS… and It Still Works

video upload by Autodafe

"ReBirth RB-338 is back on modern macOS — unofficially.
Someone has managed to bring the legendary Propellerhead classic back to life as a standalone app and plugin. In this video I’m testing it inside Logic together with other plugins and drum parts.
ReBirth was released for free years ago, but it is not open source or public domain, so I’m not providing a direct download link here.
If you’re curious, though… you may want to have a look around autodafe.net. 👀
This is an unofficial project and is not affiliated with or endorsed by Propellerhead or Reason Studios."
