Parsec Additive Synthesis - Micro Tutorial

Additive Synthesis is an entirely different type of synthesizer technology than most of us use in our music. Historically speaking, that's because Additive Synthesis has been hard to understand and a heavy burden on computers to keep up with the hundreds of oscillators needed to make complex sounds.

Well we've fixed that. Parsec is our latest Rack Extension instrument for Reason and it brings a completely new and musical approach to Additive Synthesis.

In this Micro Tutorial, you'll learn all about how Additive Synthesis works and how you can experiment with Parsec to bring new sounds to your music."

The Parsec Spectral Synthesizer is a sound designers dream. With two independent sound engines, up to 1024 oscillators per voice, a wide range of sound sculpting tools, built-in effects and free modulation routing, Parsec is capable of an incredibly wide range of sounds.

In this tutorial, product specialist Mattias shows you how to create a beautiful bell sound from scratch. If you want to go deeper with Parsec, this video is for you."

NLC Cellular Automata sequencer with 200e


Published on Nov 15, 2013 DJjondent·211 videos

Update: one more video below.

"Testing out a new sequencer.

Quite unlike anything I have ever seen and lots of fun.
It's based upon the principles of Cellular Automata (CA).
http://mathworld.wolfram.com/Elementa...
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cellular...

There are basically 6 cells/ sequencers. They produce 18 different CV patterns that can be simple or very
complex.
The cells can either be isolated or they can be made to affect their neighbouring cells/sequencers.
You can do this by patching from one into the other/s.
CVs from each neighbourhood can be summed or subtracted from others.

Here the 6 sequencers are all synced with one clock produced by the Buchla 281e.

This patching between the 6 sequencers makes very complex & evolving patterns possible .....
according to the rules of CA.
And you are outputting these patterns as gates (24 of them) and CVs.

The 24 gates are awesome to trigger envelope Generators, drums, etc.
They can also be used to clock other neighbourhoods.

Patch Morpher for iPad - Demo!


Published on Nov 13, 2013 Rik MaxSpeed·1 video

iTunes: Patch Morpher - Richard Meyer

"Patch Morpher is a live performance tool and sound explorer for your synthesiser.

Just as an artist mixes paints to create new colours, Patch Morpher allows you to mix the patches from your synthesiser to create inspiring new sounds.

Create new & original sounds really easily & quickly:
- Start from your favourite presets.
- Smoothly morph from one patch to another, or enable random mutations.
- Control hundreds of parameters as you move your finger on the screen.
- Play your synth and listen to the changes in real-time as the sound evolves!
- Fine-tune your creations using the full visual editor.
- Save your patches to your iPad and create live performance "Scenes" with your favourite sounds.
- Compatible with the DSI Prophet 08 & Prophet 12, the Korg KingKorg, Moog Voyager & the Mutable Instruments Shruthi-1.
- Utility to assist in converting sounds from the Prophet 08 to the Prophet 12.

Patch Morpher will totally change how you create sounds for your synthesiser: be inspired and have fun making music!"

New Intellijel & Cylonix Shapeshifter Dual Complex Morphable Wavetable VCO

shapeshifter demo1 Published on Nov 14, 2013 cylonix1·9 videos

"Demo of preset stepping and morph on the Cylonix/Intellijel Shapeshifter VCO module"




via Intellijel

"Cylonix and Intellijel have collaborated to bring you a very sophisticated and deeply complex Wavetable VCO. At the core of this module is very powerful FPGA board that he has pushed to the absolute max of its capabilities and crammed full of features. We wanted to create a module that really worked well in the modular context so there are a lot of modulation and control possibilities.

Features at a glance:

preset sequencing and morphing,
delay based resonator,
64 band vocoder mode
special audiorate modulation modes (MOD A)
analog wavefolder
extensive sync, pulse and modB options
detuneable 8 note chords and tons more
WAVETABLES
Each VCO can select from 128 banks of wavetables , each with 8 individual 512-sample waveforms for a total of 1024 waves.
The choice of waveform within the currently selected bank is under voltage control. There is smooth interpolation between the waveforms within a bank, allowing a very wide range of different possible waveshapes.

CHORDS
Oscillator 1 can be operated in a CHORD mode, which runs 8 copies of the oscillator in parallel with adjustable detuning, leading to very fat, rich waveforms. The oscillators have extensive modulation capabilities including audio rate (98KHz) Frequency and Phase Modulation (FM and PM) via external sources. Nonlinear combination processes allow the outputs of the two oscillators to interact to generate complex timbres and sonic textures.
There are 64 user selectable chords.

WAVEFOLDER
The SHAPESHIFTER module also includes the analog wave folder circuitry from
module to add analog warmth and metallic rasps to the digital oscillator output.
External signals can also be patched in.

PRESETS
The module includes a sophisticated preset mode where panel settings can be stored. There are 12 user-programmable preset slots and another 52 volatile slots that can be used as a scratchpad. These scratchpad slots are initialized to interesting presets on module powerup. The capabilities of the preset mode is not limited to mere passive storage of settings, however. In this mode the user can also step through, or sequence, the settings, either in order or randomly in response to pulses input to the external sync input. This gives the user the ability to generate complex sequences of sounds. The preset mode also allows the user to morph between the current panel settings and a preset providing a very powerful real-time performance tool.

SYNC
8 Different sync modes: HARD, SOFT, REV, HOLD, BUMP, 2=1, 1=2, OFF
with the ability to internally sync to a sub oscillator

PULSE
User selectable modes for the PULSE output: OR, AND, XOR, GLCH, +OSC1, EOC, +OSC2, -OSC2

MOD A modes: (audio rate modulation)
COMBO IN, SHAPE IN, PHASEMOD, VOCODER

MOD B options (all with CV control)

-Combo modes for OSC1 and OSC2:
NORMAL, RING, MIN, PONG, INLV, AND, XOR, GLCH
-Waveform TILT
-Chord mode overdrive
-Delay depth and FB
-Percussive mode decay time

There is so much more but it is better covered in the manual and suite of demos."
