Roland System-8 Juno-106 Patch Demos by GEOSynths

Published on Jul 9, 2018 GEOSynths

"So, here it is, the last Synth Engine that I've made patches for, of the Roland System 8. This is the 1st 32 Patches and I have to say, it sounds scarily similar to my Juno 6 at times, even down to the 'growl' of the Bass and the Chorus is spot on."

Noir Et Blanc Vie: Top 3 synths I REGRET not buying

Published on Jul 10, 2018 Noir Et Blanc Vie

"I think we all know this feeling, when we wanted to buy a synth and the price was right, but we passed it up. Now all we do is look back and think, if only we had got it right then. Now we live with synth regret, realizing that even though we could have the cost is just too much. Tell me in the comments the synths you passed up on and what you want, but may never own!"

What are you regrets?

A few I regret not picking up which were actually for sale were Delia Derbyshire's VCS3 Putney and a Synton Syrinx both being sold by Spectrum's Sonic Boom, the Jomox Sunsyn, LL Electronic Rozzbox, and an army green Waldorf Microwave 1. I regret them because they were actually attainable considering what they were. On the not so affordable list there were a few ARP 2500s, Emu Modulars, EMS SYNTHI 100, Buchla gear, EMS SYNTHIs, and Waldorf Waves I've spotted for sale over the years. And The Schmidt, let's not forget The Schmidt. I'm sure there were others...

I do have an OB-6 (desktop), and an XTk on Noir Et Blanc Vie's list and love them both. Never picked up an Easel though.

"A multieffects unit made for guitarr... I use it with my synths. It has a great quality to all of its effects. It's cheap and easy to use."

With the Juno-106.

BURG - The Salt Of The Earth (Avalon, Modular, Sub-37)

Published on Jul 9, 2018 ollilaboratories

"If you like my stuff please support me on http://music.ollilab.com/ and https://www.patreon.com/theBURG

Taken from the album 'margot' now available on bandcamp - https://ollilaboratories.bandcamp.com...

My latest track after a short break making music.. it took a while to push through but yeah, here it is. :)

I wanted to give the sub 37 a go with the built in arpeggiator. One of my favorite styles of playing is to use an arp and layer that on top of the track in various ways. For those of you who have followed me for a while knows that I previously used the system-1 for these kinds of sounds. The waldorf blofeld was supposed to be a replacement for the system-1, but i found out after a while that it was really hard to properly sync the arpeggiator with midi in the blofeld :/ .. now i am really happy that the sub37 does this the way i want it to. The blofeld will stay in its case while I think about what to do with it. :)

Gear Used:

Moog Subsequent 37, KORG Grandstage, nord lead NLA1, digitakt, avalon bassline, korg volcas, TR-8s, elektron A4 (fx only), ms-20

Industry Conventions: Hip Hop Fundamentals (Tutorial)

Published on Jul 9, 2018 Kris Lennox

"Quick tutorial on the conventions of creating a hip-hop beat. To recap the primary points of the tutorial:

1) The slower the tempo, the longer the tail length (this is for the sake of filling the empty space)
2) The kick drum NEVER occurs at the same time as the clap
3) The only kick on the beat is beat 1.

Of course, you'll always find exceptions to the above. These exceptions normally fall into one of two categories:

1) Producers experimenting/trying a different approach
2) Amateur producers/writers unaware of the fundamental principles

Naturally there is far more to creating a good hip-hop beat, but if the aspects covered in this video aren't in place, you could spend a long time looking for the problem when it may well be the most fundamental issue i.e. kick/clap placement.

PS the important part of this video are the principles, not the machine I'm using. I know of commercial tracks that have used far superior - and far inferior - equipment. However, if you're a hip-hop/dance producer, the Drumbrute is a nice wee piece of kit.

I'll maybe do a mini-series on hip-hop. It is a style of music very easy to do badly. And very easy to overdo. Many demos are rejected on the basis that the tracks are just too busy.

Best
Kris"
