Novation K-STATION - 3 oscillators, 3 melodies

video upload by Jake

"In this video, I created a patch by trying to make each of the three oscillators play a different tone. To do this:
Each oscillator is of course pitched differently.
The PW (or wave shaper) is adjusted on each of the oscillators to the minimum or maximum extremes so that the modulation of LFO2 slowly evolves the harmonics of each, sometimes making them almost inaudible.
Finally, the modulation of the wave shaper by envelope 1 is adjusted positive or negative differently on each of the three oscillators.

A 4-note arpeggio is played in "order" mode with a range of 2 octaves.

Internal effects:
Stereo half note delay
G hall reverb
Chorus

Direct recording on Tascam DR05X at 24-bit 44.1 kHz
Mastering on Wavelab

Novation K-station - Bank 300-399 n°1

video upload by Jake

"The Novation K-station synthesizer, a descendant of the legendary Supernova, is renowned for its distinctive late 90s techno trance sound. But it would be wrong to limit it to this use only. Thanks to its advanced sound architecture with its three oscillators, the FM, the Ring modulator, and its precise 12-24 dB filter (nicknamed "Liquid filter"), it is capable of exploring the sonic worlds of legendary analog and digital machines with a very convincing result.

This library contains 100 new sounds for the Novation K-station synthesizer.
It covers a wide range of sound styles:
Arpeggios
Synthesizer basses
Large pads
Classic polyphonic sounds from the 70s & 80s
Special effects

Here is the 'Swiss Army Knife No. 1' library that will transform your little K-station.


You can buy it here : https://www.synthonia.com/marketplace...

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.

Digitakt Jam with Novation and Moog

video upload by Hut 181

"String sample taken from the X-station into the Digitakt, then sequenced with a simple beat and the Moog Grandmother sequenced over midi.

This was just a couple of hours of mashing around to re-familiarise myself with the Digitakt and also to explore pattern chains, song mode, sample management and the onboard mixer and compressor."

We – Erica Synths and Moritz Klein – have developed a series of educational DIY kits under the brand name mki x es.EDU with one specific goal in mind: to teach people with little-to-no prior experience how to design analog synthesizer circuits from scratch. What you’ll find in the box is not simply meant to be soldered together and then disappear in your rack. Instead, we want to take you through the circuit design process step by step, explaining every choice we’ve made and how it impacts the finished module.

NB! All kits in these series are simple and come with extensive user manuals which can be downloaded separately, therefore we will not provide customer support in case your DIY build fails to function or similar."

there is some digital clipping in the recording and thats my fault not the synth I think for the most part"

NextTuesday | by This is Not Rocketscience (TiNRS)

video upload by Cinematic Laboratory

"Tuesday was a procedural sequencer, introduced around 2017. It was forced into history because of the Covid-19 part shortage. Fortunately TiNRS decided to revive it because it's a super handy 'patch buddy' when time is short and you're facing a composer's block. NextTuesday is faithful to the original but adds a root knob and a second quantized 'mod' output.

Procedural sequencing means it's a bit like a jukebox or radio station. It has 14 built in algorithms and each algorithm can 'walk' a map of melodies like Mutable Grids did for rhythm. You can use X/Y coordinates to navigate the map and ! controls the note density. There's clock/reset to sync other gear, and master 'ticks' for ticks, beats and end of loop. These are super useful as masterclocks and triggers (e.g. synced delay, etc).

Procedural sequences may give you the impression that you're stuck with factory melodies. And that's true. But it's fun to accept the limitations and expand from there. After all, it's modular, and Tuesday is a great day for patching."

NEW! VCRadio by X Audio Systems

video upload by Mad Synth Engineer

Playlist:
Exploring the FM/AM/SW radio content in Turin with the NEW VCRadio!
Modulating the TUNER knob on the NEW VCRadio with an external LFO.

via X Audio Systems

"The VCRadio is a voltage-controlled FM/AM/SW stereo radio receiver with modulation capabilities. The unit generates a continuous stream of audio content, noises, squelches and broadcasts, depending on where you are located in the world. The unit will easily pick-up any station or noises lurking at any frequency within the selected range.

Connect a LFO in the CV input to modulate the TUNER knob and create beats/patterns of mixed radio signals and noises! Please note that the VCRadio is a highly sensitive device, it will respond very well to LFO cycles below 7Hz or 8Hz. But above this rate the unit will tend to ignore the modulation.

Pre-order your VCRadio today on https://xaudiosystems.com

FEATURES OF THE VCRADIO
1 radio receiver (FM - AM - 6 bands of Short Wave)
2 LEDs for indicating if the radio signal is strong (STATION) or stereo (STEREO)
1 CV Input (with gain) to modulate the TUNER knob with an external signal (-5V - +5V)
3 audio line outputs (LEFT, RIGHT, SUM)
2 antennas (telescopic for FM/SW and ferrite loop for AM)
Eurorack module 8HP

RADIO BANDS

Cherry Audio Elka-X - Sound Bank '79

video upload by Polydata

"Drawing from the earliest days of polyphonic synthesizers, Sound Bank ‘79 for the Cherry Audio Elka-X finds its inspiration in synthesizer music found in documentaries and library music from the late 70’s and early 80’s.

A bank comprising 30 patches for instant inspiration. The goal was to squeeze as much vintage analog juice out of this plug-in as possible, primarily working within the constraints of the original Elka Synthex analog poly synth. While designing this bank, there's one word that kept coming to mind: lush. There's a beautiful smooth and rich tone to this instrument, and paired with it's unique set of features, it's hard to beat.

Sound Bank '79 is a series of vintage tones for different synths and plug-ins, so look out for future releases. Recorded completely dry with no external effects or processing.

Bass Station II: Halo Bassline Patch

video upload by Iconic Synth sounds programming

"You can hear Bass Station 2 showing its analogue capabilities in this great Bassline written by DM. As the 'movement' in this sound is as important as the patch itself, I have included the Logic X project and the midi file if you want to work with other DAW. Of course the BS2 patch is also included ;).
In the logic project there are project and tracks explanations and you can also email me if you need any kind of help.You can sculpt the sound with just small modification of the MIDI data.
You can get everything here for a symbolic price here: https://www.fiverr.com/share/P6WpNL. or if you prefer, contact me.
No effects of any kind used in this video, just the sound of Bass Station 2. No reverb, no eq, no mixing, no processing. Of course the drum sound is the original, looped.
Thanks for watching"

"The Dreadnaught Factor" - Akai MPC X + Behringer 2600 Blue Marvin + ASM Hydrasynth + MINIFREAK...

video upload by Patrick Manderson

"'The Dreadnaught Factor' was recorded live early Saturday morning on January 21st 2023 using a MIDI sequencer, a room full of synthesizers and drum machines. Four analog mixers were used with a rack of outboard effects and mixed stereo. Mixing and automation was controlled by the sequencer directly to the synthesizers. The final reorded required manual muting of the of mixer channels to suppress the noise coming from some of the devices including the Korg Minilogue. The video was taken afterwards.

"The Dreadnaught Factor" was inspired by the box art of an early 80s video game for Intellivision. It featured a number of spaceships on a blue background much like the 2600 Blue Marvin featured in this music. The melody and chord arrangement originated from a short piece I created several years ago and later merged it with a small piece of unfinished music titled "Driod Mischief". I was pleased how the two sounded when arranged in this way. I look forward to finishing "Droid Mischief".

The Hydrasynth plays a few different roles in Dreadnaught, even doubling up with the BassStation adding filter modulations to the bass parts [3:23].

The Korg MS2000 never disappoints when you use its modulation sequencer and its charasmatic digital distortion. Several parts were played, twisting and swirling in the stereo field. Modulated tremolos off-rhythm and hypnotic.

Korg Minilogue XD has so much range - such a wide sweet spot of sound. Especially when you use the digital user oscillators. Resonating plucks and unnatural reverbs works well for my tastes.

The Behringer 2600 Blue Marvin and Model D is featured in the "Droid Mischief" part at [2:58].
The notes were played over MIDI. Volume modulation was controlled with CV from the *Akai Pro MPC X*.
The Model D ran through the inputs of the Roland TR8s for its Phaser effect. The TR8S did nothing else.

There are a few dark pad patches I re-use often on the Oberheim Matrix 1000 playing disonant chords throughout.

The Elektron Analog Rytm MkII provides most of the rhythms. Each of its 12 voices run on its own MIDI channel with a full complement of continuous controllers. Lots of CC modulation was used on some of the voices. The internal sequencer was not used. All notes and automation comes from the *MPC X*.

Arturia's MINIFREAK layered in a few bits throughout and is featured at the very end [6:11]. Macros were modulated from the *MPC X*.

Korg's Radias is 4 part multitimbral. On part #4 I keep a carefully curated drum kit synthesized with noise, sines and filters - mixed with some of the built in drum samples. Part #1 featured a vocal "ah-ha" patch [3:01] using one of the vowel waves, a formant insert effect and careful modulation of its dual filters.

My favorite guitar pluck patch on the Korg EX-8000 makes an appearance.

At the center of it all, the MPC X seemlesssly connects to everything and manages to keep all devices in perfect sync. As mentioned before - meticulous editing of MIDI events is a breeze and very comfortable over long editing sessions. Approximately 21 tracks were used including Control Voltage for the modulars.
