PO-33 & 35 live: Depeche Mode's "It's Called a Heart"

Published on Jan 9, 2019 tubesockor

"Did a live cover of Depeche Mode's 'It's Called a Heart' using two Pocket Operators PO-33 and PO-35. The singing parts are played using the PO-35's vocal synthesis.
It took quite some planning and practicing to fit things into these limited devices...

Best Ambient Synth Shootout #61: preenFM2 - Song 2

Published on Jan 9, 2019 Christian's Sonic Spaces

"This is the second song with the preenFM2. It's a 14 voice 4-part multitimbral polyphonic DIY FM generator with 28 FM algorithms from 3 to 6 operators, 7 default and 6 user waveforms, filter, arpeggiator, etc.

I used for the recording the following FX chain:
preenFM2 - Alesis Ampliton - Pigtronix Echolution 2 Deluxe - Sony DPS-V77. Depending on the recorded track some FX are deactivated

The signal went through a Presonus StudioLive 16.0.2 into the PC via USB for recording. To create the complete song I recorded consecutively several stereo tracks. The final song was then mastered with a bit EQ and compression on some tracks and some limiting on the master track.

Well, I decided to go back to the basics, but at the same time make something useful for the synth community and do a kind of competition (I like competitions;-). What's my best synth for ambient music :-)"

AJH Synth Next Phase // KILLER (and quiet) phase shifting in Eurorack

Published on Jan 9, 2019 DivKidVideo

"So here we have the Next Phase from AJH Synth. A great follow up from the original Mega-Phase 12 from AJH Synth. The next phase is a dual input, stereo output phaser with selectable stages and separately selectable emphasis (resonance) paths. It's all analogue, sounds absolutely lush and is a lot quieter that the original Mega Phase, but for those looking for a bit of noise a mojo you can mix a bit of noise back in which is a nice effect.

NAAD LD4 Flexible Digital Drum Synthesizer

Published on Jan 9, 2019 NAAD

New module from new maker Nishiasakusa Audio Developments - http://naad.tokyo.

"'NAAD' first product "LD4" is a compact digital drum synthesizer. The product was designed to fit Eurorack 36HP size. It can also be used as a drum sound module of the eurorack system or as a standalone groove machine. It can also be used as a central machine for rhythm tracks that gives out intense character.

In LD 4 we designed a synthesis architecture specialized for percussion. Instead of sample playback commonly used in recent rhythm machines, it synthesizes all sounds in real time like an analog modeling synthesizer. Pitch Envelope, LP / HP / BP Filter, FM / AM Modulator, Noise Generator, LFO are mounted, it is possible to synthesize a wide range of sounds, from sharp kicks, ethnic metal sounds and experimental electronic sounds making use of modulation. Each section implements an independent envelope generator to realize precise sound creation."
