64 FREE PATCHES - Korg Poly61 vitange synthesizer

Published on Sep 24, 2018 Eyepatch Entertainment

"This is a set of patches that I’ve created while fixing Poly61s over the years. Some are similar to the factory patches, some are crazy, and some are very unique. These are all designed for either long ambient pads or interesting usage with the arpeggiator.

Matrixbrute/Duophonic Mode ("Transition #1")

Published on Sep 24, 2018 Kris Lennox

"Duophonic mode on the MB. VCO 3 (LH part) = sine wave. Upper part = combination of various waveforms. Note the metronome on the MB - the aim was to achieve a machine-like steadiness with the LH.

A collection of short, transitional works could be good. If I remember correctly, Boards of Canada had an album many years ago where between each main track was a short, transitional work. Transitional works only could work i.e. not only 'filler' tracks, but a collection. I'll maybe work on the idea over the next few months; potentially all on the MB.

Synth Stuff Ep. 49 - Moog Grandmother

Published on Sep 24, 2018 tritonrecordings

"The latest Moog mono-synth, the Grandmother. Much of the internal circuitry is drawn from the Model 15 modular system, giving this a more vintage flavor when compared to something like a Sub 37 or Sub Phatty. The look is very 70's too. With the semi-modular capabilities and the arp/sequencer, I have to say this thing is incredible bang for the buck. Not to mention, the spring reverb is amazing and makes everything sound old and spooky. This one is staying in my collection for a long time."

Vinicius Electrik Eurorack Modules Including Lizard, Multiwaves And SVVCF

Published on Sep 24, 2018 Perfect Circuit Audio

"The Vinicius Electrik eurorack modules include some interesting modules with bright red panels. The Lizard is a sequencer as well as oscillator, Multiwaves is a triple VCO/LFO. Vinicius also offers a state variable VCF with multiple inputs and outputs and CV controls over everything and up to 18db/octave lowpass. There is are also solid utility modules from Vinicius including a midi to CV converter, an ADSR envelope, dual VCA and four channel mixer. We got a little help with the tune in the beginning from the Teenage Engineering PO-28 Robot Pocket Operator.

Introducing Blinksonic° FR3TZ° for Native Instruments Reaktor 6

Published on Sep 22, 2018 BLINKSONIC°

www.blinksonic.com/fr3tz

"Blinksonic family is growing with the release of a new breed ensemble for Reaktor 6.

Please welcome to FR3TZ ! String Harmonics meet Euclidean Beats... in a Granular Cloud.

FR3TZ is a self sequenced instrument which offers to play chromatically a full set of guitar harmonics samples, with the power of granular synthesis and a suite of 6 effects.
The 3 track-mono-step sequencer can be programmed in a similar way as an Euclidean rhythm generator.

FR3TZ is an unconventional piece of instrument for creating generative patterns both melodical and rhythmical, the whole being encapsulated inside a modern user interface, inspired by « Material Design », which reinforces the user experience.
This instrument can produce amazing mechanical or non linear melodic patterns but also percussive beats and generative soundscapes. 177 snapshots have been crafted to illustrate the kind of unstable loops and unusual phrases that can be created with it.

FR3TZ also explores the random concept again, in order to provide some humanized effects on your note patterns. The sequencer is coupled with a note selector (a 1 octave virtual keyboard. This selector allows to choose which sound of the map will be aleatory launched on any incoming gate events.

Travel over the waveform with the mouse to obtain glitchy effects.. Combine the 6 effects (Pitchshifter, Filter, Distortion, Delay, Chorus, Reverb) in order to sculpt the shapes of your tones.. Inject some crazy movement on the master mix with Binaural/Doppler effect... This extensive set of features combined between each other, provides a unique recipe for designing sounds.

FR3TZ, even more than a sound bank or a virtual instrument, is a real physical sonic palette.
You will discover how surprising it can be to use string harmonics as an oscillation source, transform them as an atonal percussive element. Thanks to granular synthesis, experiment how to sound big with the infinitely small.

THE CONCEPT

String harmonics have a particular sound rendering and easily provide one of the most mysterious and subtle sonic mental images when they are punctually used in a guitarist performance. Obtained with a slight pressure on the strings with the tip of the finger raised above the frets, the harmonics deliver one of the most fascinating sounds that can be extracted from a guitar.
