The Viking, VK-1 Synthesizer - Virtual RME Voyager Based Soft Synth


Published on Dec 10, 2017 Blamsoft

Clearly based on the Moog Voyager RME. The following are a few user videos from Zombie Fights Shark. Details below.


Published on Apr 16, 2018 Zombie Fights Shark

"In episode 2 of Too Many Plug-Ins we explore the Viking VK-1 Synthesizer from Blamsoft. The monophonic VK-1 is modeled after an actual synth and is offered as a Pay What You Want (PWYW) product on Blamsoft's site (http://blamsoft.com/vst/vk-1-viking-s...).

In part 1 we listen an example piece of music created using only the VK-1 and then learn how to make a simple drum kit (kick, snare, hi hats). In part 2 we see how to make chords using this monophonic instrument (without adding extra instances). In part 3 we explore the remainder of the knobs and switches to get a more thorough understanding of how the Viking works.

You can download a free supplemental bundle of presets for the Viking VK-1 via ZombieFightsShark.com or directly from Gumroad (https://gum.co/fsRZy).

Zombie Fights Shark creates original instruments and sound libraries for Propellerheads Reason, Ableton Live, Native Instruments Kontakt, and wave and loop files. Hear and see more at ZombieFightsShark.com"



"VK-1 Viking Synthesizer is an authentic emulation of a classic monophonic analog synthesizer. It has three continuously variable wave oscillators, two ladder filters with a Dual Lowpass or Highpass/Lowpass configuration, a multi-wave LFO, and two modulation busses. VK-1 uses state of the art DSP technology to accurately reproduce the sound of the hardware.

Presets
VK-1 comes with 228 presets in the categories Bass, Bright Lead, Electro Bass, FX, Percussive Lead, Soft Lead, and Synthwave. The 50 Electro Bass and 50 Synthwave presets were created by experienced sound designer eXode. The synth excels at thick bass and rich lead sounds.

Oscillators
At the heart of VK-1 are three adjustable wave oscillators. The continuously variable waveform knob gives the oscillators a unique sound that can’t be achieved with the fixed waveforms found in most synths. A noise oscillator provides three types of noise.

Modulation
Two modulation busses and an LFO provide flexible modulation capabilities.

Filter
The filter is a classic transistor ladder filter modeled meticulously. Different drive modes are available for adding grit. The number of poles is adjustable for a wider range of filter sounds.

Modular Synthesizers with Andrew Scheps


Published on Apr 16, 2018 pureMix

Eurorack keeps on growing... It's now mainstream. I would say a tipping point was back in 2014 when Sweetwater started carrying Pittsburgh modular, and then in 2015 when Roland introduced their Aira eurorack modules followed by the System 500, and SYR-E84 eurorack case.

"Dive into the world of Modular Synthesis with Andrew Scheps.
https://www.puremix.net/video/modular-synthesizers-with-andrew-scheps.html

Modular Synthesizers are not only a sight to behold but fascinating instruments capable of producing unique sounds that people have never heard before.

In this tutorial, Andrew demonstrates how to:

Build a simple synthesizer
Use control voltages and audio to shape patches
Use an oscillator as a clock
Build a theremin
Create a droning patch"

Once Upon a Synth: Why I got a Blofeld in 2018


Published on Apr 16, 2018 once upon a synth

"I talk about why I got a Waldorf Blofeld synth in 2018 and give you a basic overview of what the synth is capable of. This synth has a really nice keyboard with aftertouch. It can also handle lots of synthesis types including wavetables, subtractive, FM, physical modeling and sampling. It's definitely a digital-sounding synth (and that's a good thing in this case)."
