And the Vactrols Danced in the Late Summer Sun

"I'm really enjoying this configuration of my little Buchla system.

No external effects used.

Headphones or good speakers recommended."

He put £15000 of Synths into SERUM and Pigments

video upload by Starsky Carr

"I sampled the Frap out of a Magnolia, an Analogue Solutions Maximus, a Pittsburgh Taiga, a Pittsburgh Voltage Lab 2, a Sequential Prophet VS, a Korg DW8000 and a Novation Peak — then chopped them into single cycle waves and turned them into 151 wavetables for Serum and Pigments.

£15,000 is roughly what those seven instruments would cost you, give or take. The pack is £15.

What's different here is what got sampled: full sweeps through the Magnolia's wavefolder, the Voltage Lab 2's complex oscillators, PWM across its whole range, the DW8000's 16 digital waves, the Prophet VS set. Not generic waveshapes — the actual character of specific, expensive, awkward instruments.

It started with a comment. Someone watched my Magnolia demo and asked how to get that tone out of their Peak. The short answer is you can't, because the oscillators don't start with the same harmonics. The long answer is this video.

Along the way I've used it as an excuse to go through the different ways a synth actually makes a tone — subtractive, FM, wavefolding and wavetable — and why the Magnolia can do three of them and the Peak can do the fourth. If you've ever wondered what people mean by East Coast and West Coast synthesis, start at 1:18."

3:36 Subtractive synthesis, and why it's called East Coast

9:09 Wavetable synthesis, and the one thing the Peak can do

Favorite Sound Design Tips for Plinky

video upload by Nathan Plante Synths

"Over the last year I've made a bunch of videos all about creating interesting sounds with Plinky. This video is a quick overview of many of them (plus a few new ones). Some of these are Plinky specific, but most of them can be done with other gear as well."

Ableton MIDI Note Mapper

video upload by Akihiko Matsumoto

"A drum pattern should not lose its musical identity simply because the receiving instrument uses a different MIDI note layout. A kick should remain a kick, a snare should remain a snare, and a closed hi hat should remain a closed hi hat.
https://akihikomatsumoto.sellfy.store...

MIDINoteMapper 2.0 is a Max for Live MIDI Effect that translates drum notes by musical role instead of applying a simple pitch shift. Select the source map and destination map, then move the same rhythm between different drum machines and Drum Racks without rewriting the MIDI clip note by note."

disting NT - Zero cross detection in the VCA/Multiplier

video upload by Expert Sleepers

"A new feature in firmware v1.17 enables zero-cross detection in the VCA algorithm, which is useful for removing clicking artefacts from very fast envelopes."

just look at the past (Yamaha YM2151 + Yamaha YMZ280B)

video upload by Vivi The Pumpkin King

Fun video featuring the Yamaha YM2151 + Yamaha YMZ280B voice chips. Interstingly, you'll find previous posts mentioning the YM2151, but not the YMZ280B. This simply implies the YM2151 is more comonly used in DIY projects.

"The Yamaha YM2151, also known as OPM (FM Operator Type-M), is an 8-channel, 4-operator sound chip used for frequency modulation (FM) synthesis in 1980s arcade games, home computers, and synthesizers."

Key Features

Voices:

Plays up to 8 simultaneous sounds or channels.

Data Formats: Supports 4-bit ADPCM, 8-bit PCM, and 16-bit PCM waveform data.

Memory: Connects to up to 16 MB of external ROM or SRAM for storing sound data.

Output: Delivers stereo output with 4-bit/16-level panning for each individual voice.P

rocessors: Links with an external digital-to-analog converter (DAC) and can connect to a Yamaha YSS225 effects processor for extra channel processing."

"The Yamaha YMZ280B, also called PCMD8, is an 8-channel PCM and ADPCM sample-based sound chip made by Yamaha Corporation in the mid-to-late 1990s.

Key FeaturesChannels and Operators:

It supports 8 simultaneous channels of 8-note polyphony with 4 operators per channel.

Sound Generation: It includes built-in noise generators, LFOs for vibrato and amplitude modulation, and timer circuits.

Companion IC: It requires an external digital-to-analog converter (typically the Yamaha YM3012) to output stereo audio.

Common Uses

Arcade Machines: Atari's Marble Madness (1984) was the first arcade game to use the YM2151 for FM synthesis, leading to widespread adoption in arcade hardware.

Home Computers: It powered the sound boards in sharp computers like the Sharp X68000 and the Yamaha CX5M music computer.

Synthesizers: Yamaha utilized the chip in early budget keyboards and sound modules like the DX21, DX27, and DX100."

From Light to MIDI with Synterra : Vaemi #synthesis #random #light #synth #sounddesign #sensor

video upload by Vaemi

"In this video, I’m using Synterra through its light sensor. By detecting changes in ambient light, it generates a generative melody in the Hijaz scale.

I’m sending the data generated by Synterra to the computer as MIDI over USB. Here, I’m using not only the MIDI notes, but also the MIDI CC data it generates at the same time.

The MIDI data is routed simultaneously to two different plug-ins: an FM-based synthesizer and a resonator. Some of the MIDI CC data coming from Synterra is assigned to the level parameters of the operators inside the FM synthesizer. This means Synterra is controlling not only which notes are played, but also the structure and movement of the sound itself in real time.

Also, I’m not using all of the CC data Synterra is sending in this video; the system is capable of generating even more control data at the same time.

When MIDI Clock is used, Synterra’s tempo-based effects can also be synchronized easily with the computer-based system.

----------------------------------------------

Bu videoda Synterra’yı ışık sensörü üzerinden kullanıyorum. Ortamdaki ışık değişimlerini algılayarak Hicaz gamında generatif bir melodi oluşturuyor.

Synth Spotting in Project Hail Mary

video upload by TheBoysTVuk

Finally got around to watching Project Hail Mary. This scene made me do a double take. Obviously skip if you haven't seen the film and don't want any spoilers, and do not look at the image captures below. It's always fun to see synth gear as promps. Makes you wonder who in the crew owns them and who decided to use them.

The Strange Machine Behind Some of Rock’s Greatest Songs

video upload by Parlogram

"The sound of the Mellotron is legendary and has over the past 60 years featured in so many great songs by groups such as The Beatles, The Rolling Stones, The Zombies, King Crimson and so many others. In this video we visit the most comprehensive, if not the best collection of these wonderful instruments in the world. We look at all the Mellotron models from first to the latest and demonstrate every one too. We hope you have as much fun watching this video as we did making it.

AE Machine | Architecture For Drums That Never Repeat & Oxide Virtual Tape Processor

video upload by Emiliano

"One practical note: listen to this on monitors or proper headphones. Most of what the machine does lives in the low end and in the stereo field, and laptop speakers will simply delete it. Loud is not necessary, full range is."

This one was spotted and sent in via Ivan Trajkovic aka deejayiwan. There are 21 videos in the playlist above. They mainly focus on AE Machine as a whole, but video 7 is focused on Oxide. You'll find the full video descriptions for the first and seventh videos further below. You can find full details on AE Machine at https://www.peamarte.it/ae - Oxide in chapter 52 of the user manual.

In short, AE Machine (estimated release date of October 2) consists of:

"Eleven synthesis voices built from scratch at sample level, five samplers, two free-running pads. A sequencer where a 16 × 16 Markov matrix decides which step may follow which, a note sieve that re-orchestrates the pattern when you transpose it, a chaotic modulation matrix reaching 271 parameters, morphing between any two presets, and a stem recorder that writes twenty-six files in one press. It runs in Max/MSP 9 on macOS and Windows, and playing it requires no paid Max license: an unlicensed copy of Max opens and runs the machine in full.

This is not commercial software in the ordinary sense. It is my working method, the environment I built night after night for my own music, packaged so that you can play it. When you get it, you are getting research: the reading, the listening, the failed versions, the decisions. The manual is a hundred pages and it is already here, whole, free to read. Trust your ears over any paragraph in it."
