Prophet-600 Sunlight on a Mountain Meadow

Published on Dec 18, 2018 LANDOSONIC

"A joyful Downtempo Chillout track, supposed to capture the essence of the mood in the picture. Created with a Gligli upgraded vintage analog synthesizer Prophet-600 by Sequential-Circuits and software plugins in Ableton Live. The Prophet in this case is responsible for the bassline and the treble analog stab notes.

Composed, recorded, mixed and mastered by Landosonic in December 2018."

Piano Roll in VCV Rack

Published on Dec 18, 2018 Omri Cohen

"I think that for people who enter the VCV Rack world, coming from a DAW environment, the thing they miss the most is the piano roll and the ability to visually program a sequence or a melody. Well, a few days ago the Piano Roll module from RCM was released, making it possible for programming notes in a piano roll environment with features like velocity, the ability to program up to 64 different patterns, an end of pattern trigger output, and more.

In this video, I go through all of the features of the Piano Roll, and then I build a patch from scratch, utilizing most of its features. It's a really nice and intuitive module, that will for sure just become more powerful with time, and it's available for free."

JoMoX XBase 888 Analog Drum Synthesizer SN 2009 - 0238

via this auction

"Hoping to continue the grand tradition of unique and intuitive analog instruments, while at the same time extending their capabilities using the latest technologies, we are proud to introduce the JoMoX XBASE 888, our newest analog drum machine. It combines the ultimate vintage sound with a modern, intuitive interface for both modern studio and live requirements. There are several notable new features on the XBASE 888:

The kick drum and the tom toms now each have an adjustable pitch envelope and sound even phatter than before!
The analog noise parameter of the snare and hi hat can be “metal-ized” to create sounds extremely similar to vintage drum machines - and this is fully adjustable!

And, because it has no X-Filter, the XBASE 888 is more affordable than the 999.
But it still has an unbeatable sound, this little beauty!"

Introducing EG WaveSHAPER

https://app.elliottgarage.com/waveshaper

EG WaveSHAPER is the first synthesizer that lets you create your sound with a finger.

Draw the waveform on the screen or shape a builtin one, mix it with a classic analog oscillator and a sub oscillator and automate all the knobs with 2 drawable LFOs and 2 ENVs

HYBRID WAVESHAPING ENGINE
'Waveshaping is a synthesis-and-transformation technique that turns simple sounds into complex sounds'

2 wavetables can be designed and morphed to create unique and dynamic sounds under your finger, choosing the morph attack and release; complex spectra can be created waveshaping the oscillator and introducing non linear distortion, rich harmonics and a tube-vacuum behaviour.
The hybrid Waveshaping/Wavetable engine lets you combine a wavetable oscillator with a classic oscillator and a sub oscillator, to add additional sound layers and depth.

LFOs & ENVs
2 Lfo and 2 Envelopes with indipendent time can be assigned to virtually any of the synth parameters. They can also be graphically designed with the touch of your finger or you can choose among the builtin envelopes.

OTHER FEATURES
- Hybrid Wavetable/Waveshaping engine
- Draw your wavetable oscillator with your finger
- 100+ builin presets
- 30+ builtin waveforms to use and modify
- 2 LFOs and 2 ENVs assignable to any parameter
- FX: Reverb, Delay and EG Crush
- Detune osc to create huge unison sounds
- FM and Noise with configurble FM Ratio and Noise eq
- VCF and Reso filters
- Complete presets management with export and share
- Core MIDI: MIDI in, MIDI CC, MIDI poly aftertouch
- AU3 with full knobs parameters automation
- Universal for iPad & iPhone"
