Coloray performs 'Tonight' with the 3rd Wave 8M and 24M synths

video upload by Groove Synthesis

"Berlin-based electronic artist Coloray takes the new 3rd Wave 8M desktop synthesizer for a spin alongside the flagship 24M in this live performance of his original song 'Tonight.' Learn more about the 3rd Wave 8M: https://www.groovesynthesis.com

Watch as Coloray sculpts sounds in real-time using both synths controlled by Ableton Live, creating layers of wavetable textures and analog warmth without any overdubs.

The 3rd Wave 8M brings the complete synthesis engine to a compact desktop format with 8 voices, bi-timbral operation, and the same premium analog filters that define Groove’s 3rd Wave character. At $1,999, the 8M makes the distinctive 3rd Wave sound accessible to a broader range of musicians while maintaining patch compatibility with the 24-voice models.

In this performance, Coloray sequences multiple synth parts on the 24M (taking advantage of its 4-part multitimbral capabilities) while the 8M handles the driving bassline. Throughout the song, he uses the performance controls to shape filter sweeps and envelope responses, demonstrating the intuitive real-time control that makes the 3rd Wave series so expressive. The vocals feature live vocoder processing, with drums and vocal samples provided by Ableton playback tracks.

Coloray (Raynor De Groot) is the boundary-pushing electronic artist known for his genre-defying approach that draws from ambient, EBM, techno, house, and disco. His tracks have topped Beatport charts and earned support from Four Tet, Dixon, Solomun, and Pete Tong. His innovative 'Future Static' audiovisual concept and virtual reality experiences showcase his commitment to pushing creative boundaries."

How To Use a Huge Steel Tank As a Plugin

video upload by HAINBACH

"This is one of the most unreal reverbs I have ever heard, and it can be used like a real life plugin: The Tank in Rangely, Colorado. Discovered in the 1970s and previously only available to people in the know, it was converted into a venue and recording studio in 2015. I was invited by The Tank Center for Sonic Arts to try out its fantastic resonances. But instead of traveling there, I could sit in my studio and access it comfortable via an AUX from Ableton, and record a full album. In this video I show you the process and what you have to keep in mind if you want to play with the Tank.

"The 700 Complex Function Generator test features multi-point drawing and a time-scanning system. In this patch, the CV output from the 700 Function plugin is routed into the 700 Voice. This plugin will be available for free download on my website.
#ableton live #max for live #700FMvoice


Paying tribute to the classic Buchla 700, the 700 FM Voice reimagines the iconic voice section's characteristics. We have rebuilt the algorithmic structure and user interface to better suit modular usage. The 700 Voice features a unique sound synthesis approach, incorporating elements of both classic FM and phase synthesis. Although it is a monophonic oscillator, we have endowed it with complex and powerful sound-shaping capabilities, as well as the design space to continue developing new algorithms in the future. The module is available in both standalone and expanded versions.

Four variable waveform oscillators, Each oscillator features four selectable modes, indicated by LED colors: red for mode 1, green for mode 2, blue for mode 3. White for mode4 (independent osc with 1.2v/oct).

A global frequency control.
Six independent index controls, supporting 0-10 V CV modulation.
A/B dual mixed output with CV modulation capability, plus a dedicated output for channel B.
The top left OLED allows mode switching for the oscilloscope via an encoder and provides access to expanded feature options.
The middle OLED displays logic diagrams for twelve algorithms, with buttons for downward selection and a "Res" button to return to the previous level.
Expanded oscillator waveform selection, including sine-saw, sine-square, and PWM square shapes.
Enhanced waveform simulation with jitter modulation.
Independent wave shape modulation for A and B outputs.
Support for expansion modules.
The standalone version allows MIDI CC input control.
Global support for 1.2 V/oct.
Power requirements: ±15V, 12V, 5V, QG, NG.

"A piece created with YAMAHA CP-88, ‪@MoogSynthesizers‬ Grandmother, and ‪@SequentialLLC‬ Prophet-10. A track built as a beat and keyboard session.

The CP-88 is used to play piano, while the Prophet-10 performs synth pads with reverb applied through ‪@strymon‬ blueSky.
The Grandmother provides the bassline.

The rhythm is constructed in Ableton using Drum Rack loaded with kick and glitch samples ( https://store.atnr.net/downloads/data... ).

Orbital’s Paul Hartnoll Goes Granular With the 3rd Wave and Samples

video upload by Groove Synthesis

"Check out this short video sent to us by Orbital’s Paul Hartnoll, in which he puts the 3rd Wave’s new sample modulation capabilities to the test. Learn more about the 3rd Wave at https://www.groovesynthesis.com

Paul Hartnoll, one half of the legendary electronic duo Orbital, has been pushing the boundaries of electronic music since their breakthrough 1989 hit "Chime" helped define the UK rave scene. Known for their innovative live performances and genre-defining albums like "In Sides" and "Snivilisation," Orbital's influence on electronic music spans over three decades, making Paul's exploration of the 3rd Wave's capabilities particularly compelling.

In the video, Paul makes great use of sample start modulation, a feature added in OS 1.9a of the 3rd Wave 24K synth, allowing velocity and other sources to dynamically shift sample start points for expressive performance control. He created a sequence of 48th notes in Ableton Live, using its note split mode, and gently randomized the notes’ velocity. He then modulates the sample start in the 3rd Wave oscillator with the note velocity to create, in effect, a granular sampler. You can then also use velocity (or any other parameter) to control the filter cutoff and spread the samples out into the stereo field with the pan spread control.

The 3rd Wave 24K is a 24-voice, 4-part multi-timbral wavetable synth with 3 oscillators per voice, analog low-pass filters, a state-variable filter, 6-stage wave envelopes per oscillator, and an industry-first Wavemaker™ tool that allows users to create custom wavetables in a single step through its proprietary sample-to-wave technology. Each of its three oscillators can generate a classic PPG-era wavetable, a modern high-resolution wavetable, virtual-analog synthesis, linear FM, and sampling.

While the 3rd Wave has roots in the classic digital wavetable synths of the past, it takes the concept firmly into the 21st century with a lush, expansive sound and innovative features that synths of the 80ies could only dream of.

Switched on Debussy & Bach on the Roland MC-202 & Roland System 100m.

video uploads by funkpirateradioscene

1. MC-202 does Switched on Bach
2. Debussy - Rêverie sequenced by Roland MC-202
3. Roland MC-202 Factory sequence data: Debussy - Snow is Dancing

"The Roland MC-202 MicroComposer originally came with a data cassette to demonstrate its capabilities as a sequencer. Since it could not retain memoy after power off, sequences had to be saved and loaded via audio inputs on the back of the machine. The sequences had one channel for the internal synth, and one channel to drive an external synth.

Here the MC-202 plays while also sequencing a Roland System 100m. Reverb and delay added in Ableton Live.

The 5 sequences from the original cassette were:
1. Invention Vol.1 – J. S. Bach
2. Invention Vol.2 – J. S. Bach
3. Dream – C. A. Debussy
4. Prelude – J. S. Bach
5. Snow Is Dancing – C. A. Debussy"
