Introducing Novation Bass Station by GForce Software


video upload by GForce Software

"Novation and GForce are proud to announce the release of the GForce Bass Station, a brand-new software version of the original analogue synthesiser.

Bass Station is an iconic mono-synth, celebrated for its raw, punchy bass and distinctive analogue filter. First launched in 1993, it has been a core part of Novation's brand ever since.

The new GForce Bass Station AU / VST is an exact emulation of the original Bass Station, now with a new expanded mode, which includes up to 16-voice polyphony and unison modes, taking its versatility far beyond the monophonic hardware original.

Designed to offer a rich, dynamic sound palette, TWISTfm is the perfect tool for musicians and sound designers looking to push the boundaries of sonic creativity.

Vintage FM Power
At the core of TWISTfm are two legendary Yamaha OPL-3 YMF262 FM chips paired with dual YAC512 stereo DACs, providing 8 discrete voices. Each voice is equipped with its own analog multimode filter for an unparalleled range of sound design possibilities.

8 Analog Multimode Filters
With HEAT and Dual Resonance Modes: Featuring 8 individual analog filters, inspired by the iconic designs of Mutable Instruments, TWISTfm gives you precise control over sound shaping with 15 filter modes, including low-pass, high-pass, band-pass, phaser, notch, and more. The HEAT parameter adds anything from warm, subtle saturation to harsh analog distortion, allowing you to push the filters to their limit. Additionally, you can switch between two resonance flavors—LIQUID, for smooth and subtle resonance, and MS20, for more aggressive, cutting tones. With digital control over resonance and cutoff, the filters offer flexible modulation and the ability to store settings with presets.

Perfect for Studio & Live Performance
Whether you're composing in the studio or performing live, TWISTfm’s robust feature set and intuitive design make it a powerful addition to any setup. Its combination of vintage FM tones and modern control capabilities offers a unique, versatile sound engine capable of producing everything from smooth ambient pads to aggressive basses and leads.

Elektron Syntakt. Techno and Electro Patterns

video upload by Adam Jay

"Some patterns I’ve made with Syntakt. No processing.

Things I love: The machines! The flexibility!

It can be so many things.
8 tracks of Model cycles chord machines with deeper control, 2x LFO per track, full envelopes, dual filters, p-lockable FX track. Or half a Rytm , plus new digital drum synth and bass/lead synth machines.

Or a mix between.

All with a tasty chunk of analog Heat drive, filter, and EG, but p-lockable!

There is an inverted envelope shape in the analog fx that I use as a master compressor. The drive is lovely. I also love using some of the analog kicks with a bandpass filter for textures. Can even get kinda of vinyl pops and clicks out of these.

Can have up to 3 simultaneous analog DVCO machines."

Full details:


12 Track Drum Computer & Synthesizer

Enter a sonic metropolis with Syntakt. Analog and Digital synthesis. Drum and melody. In full fusion.

All your sound crafting, sequencing, and performance needs are fulfilled, in an all-round music mega box that fits in your lap. Syntakt is a drum specialist, full of percussive possibilities, but its four analog and eight digital tracks can be used for melody, harmony, and bass sounds too. Experience epic sounds from the past, pulling others into existence from the future.

The streets of Syntakt are never-ending, the neon lights are never-dimming, its underground is fathomless. Discover worlds within worlds. Adore now. Explore forever.

Meet the machines
There are 35 sound-generating machines to call on, covering a wide range of drum and melodic sounds. Some machines have been reimagined from Analog Rytm and Model:Cycles, with deeper sound control for the latter, while others are entirely new to the world.

For you to create and personalize your sound, we’ve made sure you’ve got a set of parameter controls tailor-made for each machine. They let you quickly tweak the nature of each type of sound, showing you just the relevant options. Comprehensive without being overwhelming. Let loose with analog or digital overdrive, depending on the tracks you’re playing with.

The graphics more than play their part too, with plenty of animated icons offering visual guidance and extra clarity on how each parameter affects the sound. The joys of tweaking shouldn’t only be for the ears after all.

Special effects
Syntakt lets you route any of your synth tracks or external audio sources through the FX block. This gives you analog distortion and filtering, and a couple of LFOs to go to town with. Additionally, you can also call on Delay and Reverb as powerhouse send effects.

And all of the above effects can be sequenced with the FX track. Have them kick in at just the right moment. Add accents and dramatic changes to the selected tracks or external audio. Or use it as a master track for ducking and gating effects.

Modify the moment
Wield a little extra trig craft using the four modifiers, offering four varied levels of expression. Configure the first two modifiers to give you the retrig or velocity behavior you desire, and use the other two to access custom intensities of other parameters. They’re ready for action regardless of which synth track you’re using.

And the best bit is that they don’t just give you that extra playability fun in the here and now, you can also capture the moment by recording to the sequencer.

The keys to the city
Syntakt’s keyboard mode gives you a whole bunch of different scales to play with.

There are some familiar faces and some maybe a little less familiar for you to try out, helping you discover new places and taking things to another level.

Play across a single octave like on a piano keyboard. Or use fold, and have several octaves laid out in front of you.

Deep sound-shaping
Syntakt comes full of filter and envelope goodness. All tracks have a Multimode filter to put to use allowing you to emphasize different parts of your sound, with the digital tracks also able to call on Parametric EQ and a Base-width filter – an additional filter giving you even more sonic control.

Choose from two amplitude envelope types to define the ideal contour of your sound. Try out the ADSR envelope – for your wicked synth lines – or the simpler AHD envelope – perfect for transient percussive sounds.

Intellijel Tête — Walkthrough / Design / Q+A


Published on Dec 12, 2019 Intellijel

"The Intellijel hackers are taking over the channel for a 90 minute livestream, going deep into the Tête.
Complete with Live Q+A and Audio Demos.



Tête is the long awaited and highly anticipated expander for the Tetrapad. Tête takes control of Tetrapad’s mode selection and operating functions, allowing Tetrapad to do what it does best — act as a control surface, which it does both for controlling external modules and for interfacing with the advanced processing power within Tête.

Tête + Tetrapad operates in one of three different modes—

Voltages
Up to 16 voltage storage locations (grid) with 8 voltages stored at each location. You have the choice to record and playback your recall of these locations in a looper style (just play freely and spend arbitrary amount of time at any location) or as a clocked sequence (SH-101 style). Additionally you can traverse the matrix using the X and Y CV inputs to get Cartesian style sequencing. There is also variable slew that allows you to morph/glide between the values.

Notes
You can create sequences or loops in chord, scales or keyboard mode. The isomorphic keyboard grid can be set to 4, 12, or 16 notes. There are real-time performance looping, transposition and inversion capabilities via the CV inputs and dedicated loop button. In sequencer mode each step can be a tie, rest, or gate with size 25/50/75%. Basically we have created a way to very quickly and intuitively make chord sequences that are very musical and easy to manipulate. It is difficult to summarize in words but we will be sure to create some videos to demonstrate how easy and fun this is to play with. It definitely represents something unique in the landscape of Eurorack sequencers.

Combo
In this mode you can loop record your performance on any combination of the following functions: fader, bipolar fader, crossfader, euclidean sequencer, toggle switches or LFO. Kind of like Elektron style parameter locking but all of the motions is recorded continuously instead of just in slices. Instantly turn a simple patch into a highly animated and complex beast. The chosen function determines the type of signal (CV, note, trigger, gate, etc.) sent from each of Tetrapad’s eight independent outputs, while its multitude of multi-colored LEDs keep you informed of exactly what’s happening within each mode."

Published on Nov 9, 2017 NovationTV

"In this performance video –CALC- is using the Novation Circuit Mono Station as the hub for a full performance. The Circuit Mono Station sequences it’s own internal fully analogue sounds and also controls several other devices with both CV and MIDI. Circuit Mono Station is also taking it’s clock directly from an original Roland TR808. This is an example of how the Circuit Mono Station can be integrated into a powerful all hardware set-up."

Laurentide SynthWorks 14 - Werkstatt Mod Walkthrough


Published on Sep 9, 2014 Laurentide SynthWorks

"Demo of the VCO/Ext. Mixer and Glide circuits added. The VCO of the Werkstatt and the External IN at the rear panel jack are fed into a mixer with volume control. The EXP VCO IN jack is fed into a glide circuit. The Werkstatt glide is part of the keyboard which scales 3V/Oct, so it's useless for 1V/Oct tracking."
