"Have you ever seen inside a VST plugin - how its made? Ourafilmes is, probably, the first to show you!
Here´s a nice video that take you inside the SB-2 monster synth and shows its main features!
This synth is now free and is included in the Ourafilmes Facebook Pack - available in www.facebook.com/ourafilmes
"Acidlab Miami sends DIN to STG Time Buffer which passes sync to Trigger and Graphic Sequencer as well as Intellijel µStep. Graphic seq to Subcon Model 15 being modulated by SubCon Model 37. Doepfer A143-1 being hit by Trigger Sequencer and Intellijel µStep. Sound of Shadows and MA35 getting various bits."
"In the first half of the video I played the Crumar Multiman dry, in the second half with a COMPACT PHASING "A" from Gerd Schulte Audio Elektronik. The Compact Phasing A is a German phaser, which was well known in the seventies (at least in Germany). Many units were sold, but it is rare and sought after today. It was used by Klaus Schulze, Tangerine Dream, Kraftwerk and others.
This Crumar Multiman is the first version (later came the Multiman S versions which are larger). It was produced in Italy. It has a string section, a brass section (with VCF controls and resonance) and a piano section. It is capable of nice layer sounds. A monophonic bass preset can be added.
Excuse the crackling noises, my Multiman is not 100% intact. Indeed, it is in terrible shape. Some of the keys don't play notes, instead they produce some crackling noises. But the basic sound is fantastic!"
"The surprise Year of Spiegel continues as her landmark and long out-of-print 1980 LP 'The Expanding Universe' is being reissued for the first time on compact disc by the Unseen Worlds label. While the original LP ran at just over forty-five minutes (and had to cheat the long title track of some dynamic range in order to fit all the grooves on side two), the newly expanded “Expanding Universe” sprawls, in its physical form, over two compact discs, with a running time of two and a half hours. What is old on this reissue sounds punchier and punkier than do the ripped-from-vinyl MP3s that exist online. And what’s new on “The Expanding Universe” is as diverse-sounding and alive as any electronic music issued this year, even though all of these pieces were conceived on a computer-analog hybrid system stashed in a Bell Labs hallway from 1973 to 1979.
This device would be Max Mathews’s “Generating Realtime Operations On Voltage-controlled Equipment” apparatus, otherwise known as GROOVE. It was a hybrid digital-analog mechanism that was big enough to require multiple rooms. (Despite its being too unwieldy to take out for live performances, Spiegel once described it as “the ultimate synthesizer.”) A technical breakdown of the GROOVE setup can become pretty complex, but, in brief, the system was controlled from a room that held a console, a monitor, a three-octave keyboard, and a joystick operated by the user, all of which was separated by a glass window from a temperature-controlled room with a large DDP-224 computer, which was in turn linked up to a digital magnetic tape drive down the hall.
"A small selection of presets from the 'vintage' bank, one of 10 banks supplied with Tronto for Kontakt 5.
This video shows a little of the versatility of Tronto, with interpretations of some classic and much loved electric pianos from the past, with a few twists here and there.
The only external effect used is Echo from Psp audioware. This delay is a favourite of mine, as it's tape delay characteristics complement Tronsonic's libraries very well.
