"Concerto for Self-Accompanying Digital Synthesizer. The instrument is possibly the first realtime digital synthesizer, built at Bell Telephone Labs, NJ by Hal Alles and team, with C language software written by Laurie that processes the player's live input into an ongoing accompaniment that will continue to be played live against.

This is a legal copy uploaded by the owner of the original tape. The OHM DVD's video was taken from this.

You might remember the video from this previous post. The original video was suffering from data corruption so Laurie Spiegel uploaded the video again. Be sure to see the comments on YouTube here for more.

How to Make Nice Pad with Synapse Toxic

YouTube via VstCafe
"In this tutorial, I would like to show how to create some nice, warm, dreamy pad. Again, I use great Subtractive / FM Synth - Synapse Toxic II. No other external effects used (well, I used limiter to avoid clicks).

At first, I activated 6 Oscillators very slightly fined / detuned to get some movement (you can hear it nicely when I tweak Osc 4 frequency). Then I started to tweak most of Toxic's tools such as: 1x LFO, Filter + Envelope, Amp Envelope, Unison, Chorus, Delay, EQ and FM Matrix. Even without FM Matrix the sound seemed nice but with FM Matrix you can reach the exact sound you want.
