unique synth combo | Ambient lofi | Double Knot, Gene GX, Artium Swarm |

"Lorre Mill - Double Knot V3
Artium Instruments - The Swarm
Gene Synths - Gene GX
Walrus Audio - Qi Etherealizer

DK shift registers are providing the bed sequence. The range of notes in the sequences are created using the Slew circuits acting on pitch. The DAC outputs are patched into the Slew circuits. The Swarm provides a nice detuned pad using the Freeze function. The Gene GX has been tuned into the Dk and the Swarm. I’ve dialled down the modulation a little but i’ve kept the lofi grit because I’m addicted to it.

I love playing the Gene GX and I can never get enough of the DK. They both have such unique sounds.

Noise. Lots of it. Heavy glitch with Hikari Monos and Hikari Duos

Hikari Duos
Hikari Monos
No effects

A noise and glitch jam. They are synced by using CV clock from the Duos into the CV filter of the Monos.

This is noisy but it was needed.

Gets quite funky at 1:48

Gene Synths GX session - Analogue synth raw sound

"Gene Synths GX session

Just playing the Gene GX without any effects. All the modulation is from the GX.

Tweaking the fantastic filter to add some variation.

I love the sound of this synth. It had a wonderful grit and lofi quality."

Can I get an ambient sequence out of the SOMA Rumble of Ancient Times glitch synth

"RoAT - SOMA Rumble of Ancient Times
Walrus Audio Qi Etherealizer

Quick jam with the RoAT to see if I can take a glitchy, lofi sequence and make it sound heavenly with a big dose of effects. Big atmosphere at 1:06.

Combining Chorus, Delay, Granular, Reverb. Switching between the lower octave and higher octave granular modes to get some variation and depth.

I love building a sequence in the RoAT. I think it’s a great piece of kit and has huge functionality for the price."

Analogue synth sounds. Mellow jam with Gene Synths GX, Artium Swarm, Double Knot V3

Gene Synths GX
Lorre Mill Double Knot V3
Artium Instruments The Swarm
Walrus Audio Qi Etherealizer

A desktop jam combining my favourite analogue synths. Using the Double Knot for a rhythmic background created by sending the shift registers through the granular section of the Etherealizer. The Swarm just gives lovely polyphonic pads. And I ‘m so in love with the GX. It’s so much fun to tune in the Chords then start modulating the tones.

Gene GX synth into effects = beautiful lofi atmosphere

"Gene synths Gene GX
Walrus Audio Qi Etherealizer

Sending lofi fuzz and crackles into long delay and reverb with some granular sampling. The grains (at +2 octaves) create subtle trails as they feed into the reverb and delay.

I’m using the VCA Decay to adjust the keys from muffled plucks to longer chords.

The raw sounds of the GX are so interesting but I couldn’t resist exploring what happens when sending them into big effects.

To my ears it’s beautiful.

Playing keys at 1:00
Pitch bends at 2:45"

Melancholy synth | Gene Synths GX first tweaks

Gene Synths GX

New synth day. I’ve been waiting patiently for this to arrive and it was worth every second.

Such a beautiful lo-fi melancholic sound with a load of modulation. I fell in love with the sound when I came across the Gene synths website last year.

Great solid build quality and probably the best knobs of any synth I own ❤️

The interface is unique and encourages exploration and experimentation.

Can’t wait to send it through a looper.

"A look at the SP 1200 which is a legendary sampling drum machine first released by E-mu Systems in 1987.

Huge thanks to Si Spex (aka Barry Beats) for allowing use of some of his tracks throughout the video and for also making some of the breaks I was playing around with.

"This is the PAiA 1550 ''Stringz n Thingz'' Fully-tunable/tweekable ANALOG Synthesizer".... It was released in the 70's, and proved so popular that it became one of the few great products 'PAiA' manufactured at that time and is 'famous' for producing mind bending-great-sounding, super lo-fi, 70's strings/ Si-Fi /Sound effects and eerie Movie Effects! Hand tune 'Gritty" 'Moog"like 'LFO' effects ...Phat Phat Phat with a "Thick as a brick" sweepable chorus/Flanged sweep....The "Thingz" refers to the more percussive piano synth section. The built-in Phlanger (yes, with a P) "Modulation" section enhances the rich analog strings with a sci-fi warble, creating very dramatic strings.!..."

ANimALOGICA Bologna Synth Meeting è il primo meeting in Italia che raccorda differenti realtà legate ai sintetizzatori e agli strumenti musicali elettronici dove musicisti, organologi, professionisti del settore, collezionisti e appassionati si riuniscono per un momento di incontro e di condivisione, di scambio di opinioni ed emozioni legate alla liuteria e alla musica elettronica.
Non è una mostra, non è una fiera, è appunto un meeting dove ogni partecipante porta uno o più strumenti da condividere con gli altri partecipanti per l’intera giornata del meeting. Si suona, si parla, si discute di musica e strumenti.
