New Novation Hack Series Videos with the Novation Peak

Published on Apr 9, 2019 NovationTV

"In the second round of videos in our Hack Series, -CALC- explores the more unusual side of the Peak synthesiser."

For more on Peak, check out:
http://bit.ly/PeakExperiments

1. Novation // The Hack Series - Karplus Strong

In this video, we explore how we can use the delay almost as a karplus strong synthesis method. With this technique, -CALC- uses the delay almost like oscillator - accessing and controlling it from the modulation matrix for the effects, making some really unusual sounds!

2. Novation // The Hack Series - Re-triggered Envelopes

For this particular patch, -CALC- explores the repeating envelopes. We'll show you how you can use the envelopes set to repeat and modulate various different aspects of the synth engine. We'll then further modulate those envelopes using Peak's LFO's, allowing us to create a random rhythmic patch!

3. Novation // The Hack Series - Chorus as resonator and delay

For this patch, we explore how we can use the FX modulation matrix to access different controls for the effect engines in Peak. -CALC- uses chorus as a resonator effect and creates harmonic delays by controlling the times of the chorus and the delay via the modulation matrix. Enjoy exploring this patch!

4. Novation // The Hack Series - Techno

In this video, we explore how to use oscillator three as a strange LFO control for the filter using one of the available wavetables. -CALC- also explores the effects modulation matrix and shows you how to take control of various aspects of the chorus and delay effects, resulting in one enormous sounding self-generating patch.

All parts here

P.S. Novation is set for SUPERBOOTH19.

New Twisted Electrons therapKid

therapKid Walkthrough Published on Apr 9, 2019 Twisted Electrons

via Twisted Elektrons

TherapSid has a kid!
TherapKid is a powerful & affordable duo-phonic synthesizer inspired by the mighty therapSid.

Best of Both
The first generation of SID (6581) had a wonderful gritty distorted filter but the later 8580 had a much stronger filter (more resonance). TherapKid offers a digital take on the best of both worlds with a strong filter resonance and 6581-like gritty tone.

Monophnoic, Duophonic, Chords & Drones
TherapKid has 2 voices, each voice consisting of 4 oscillators.

In duophonic mode you can play 2 notes at once, in mono mode you can detune them. But you can take things further by detuning each of the oscillators individually to form chords or drones.

LO/HI-Fi
While the wavetables are 8Bit, they are processed by a powerful 96MHz 32BIT processor and put out of a 16BIT DAC with oversampling and filtering. This formula of retro sound generated by modern hardware allows for plenty of summing headroom, a rich sounding filter, and complex modulations.

Features:
Set the volume of the 8 waveforms independently*
Tune each of the 8 waveforms independently (chords, drones!)*
Sine wave for pure tones and deep sub bass*
Muti-mode arpeggiator
Ring modulator
Duophonic or monophonic modes
Hybrid 6581/8580 inspired multimode filter (Low pass, High pass, Band Pass, Notch)
Dual therapSid style LFO with up to 48 connections that can be made a a push of a button.
50 Preset memory with wild random preset generator
USB-MIDI
Sturdy powder-coated steel case
Hardware MIDI via included 3.5mm >Din5 cable
USB Powered (can be battery powered with a USB battery brick)
185mm x95mm x30mm
*can’t be done on a real SID
Pre-order begins shipping May 1st

Brainworx bx_oberhausen Synthesizer (Oberheim SEM Emulation) | The Plugin Minute | SYNTH ANATOMY

"Brainworx brings acclaimed analog synth module back to the future with breathtaking bx_oberhausen VI debut


“The Brainworx bx_oberhausen is a fantastic synth! Being an owner myself of a few of the originals, I can clearly tell how good this sounds! Besides the original concept, it also comes with really great effects to make the most brutal or subtle patches you can imagine! A must-have for synth enthusiasts!”
- Tom Holkenborg (a.k.a. Junkie XL), GRAMMY® Award-nominated, multi-platinum producer, musician, and film composer, 2019


LEVERKUSEN, GERMANY: having hosted a successful ‘synth tasting’ event earlier this year at Sphere Studios in North Hollywood, healthily attended by industry insiders and electronica luminaries like BT, Paul Haslinger (ex- Tangerine Dream), and Tom Holkenborg (a.k.a. Junkie XL), Brainworx Audio is proud to announce availability of bx_oberhausen — the cutting-edge company’s highly-anticipated first VI (Virtual Instrument) after more than 10 years of creatively crafting top-tier mixing and mastering plugins, applying the same modelling know- how and technology to bring back an acclaimed analog synthesizer expander module in a future-facing, feature-packed form fit for today’s Digital Audio Workstation world — as of April 9…

Oscilloscope Music - Pictures from Sound

Published on Nov 23, 2016 Techmoan

This one is in via Soviet Space Child. See the oscilloscope label at the bottom of this post for more. BTW, you can purchase the album that makes these images. Link below.

"An oscilloscope can be made to display shapes by playing sounds into it. Making music from these sounds while simultaneously drawing images with those sounds takes things to another level. CLICK SHOW MORE
In the video I fix up and put an old oscilloscope to a new use, and show how you can watch these audio-visual demos even if you don't have a oscilloscope by using a computer.

If you want to skip the preamble and repair section and jump straight to the demo - it starts at 05:00

Dove Audio WTF (Window Transform Function) Eurorack Oscillator

Published on Apr 9, 2019

"WTF stands for Window Transform Function and that is the type of synthesis used by the Dove Audio WTF oscillator. This type of synthesis works by running two wavetables in parallel as well as a window function. When the window is open one wavetable is heard and when the window is closed the other wavetable is heard. The wavetable function runs in sync with the two wavetables and can be run in single or double window mode. There are many wavetables and lots of CV controls on the WTF oscillator giving you lots of different timbral options.

WTF Oscillator available here: https://www.perfectcircuit.com/dove-a..."

Knas The Ekdahl "Polygamist"

via this auction

Video in the listing previously posted here.

"Rare and discontinued - 1 of 53 made:

THIS is not your typical synthesizer.

The Ekdahl Polygamist is mainly designed with experimental / drone / noise / improv in mind but can really take you wherever you wana go. The basic architecture is classic VCO/VCF/VCA design but all of the building blocks have been designed to allow for much more interesting / chaotic sounds then you get from your bread-and-butter synth.

Highlights includes VCO1 which features a "Tilt" output which is a triangle wave that can be *tilted* from sawtooth, to triangle, to ramp. VCO2, the "Pitch multiplying oscillator" consists of a fundamental and three "sub harmonics" that mimics additative/FM synthesis for very complex waveform and chaos generation. The ADSR is loopable and can be used as an oscillator, it can also be paused in its transition. The three LFOs all go to audio range and two of them go down to about 4 minutes for one waveform period. It also features a duophonic, pressure sensitive ribbon controller which sends MIDI data. It has two independent MIDI/USB-to-CV converters which can be ganged in duophonic mode. And there is of course, much, much more."

"★ UNDERBRUSH ★Ciat-Lonbarde Plumbutter v2 & Cocoquantus ★ Strymon Big Sky & Timeline ★

★ Combining the Ciat-Lonbarde Cocoquantus and the Plumbutter V2. Starting out with vinyl noise as a bed from the “lo fi” mode of Strymon Timeline then adding Plumbutter v2 triggering the Eventide Pitchfactor. Later I bring in live sampling of the kalimba thru the Coco's dual 8-bit loopers. Thanks for listening.★

Recorded in Protools 2018.10 on Windows 10."

"The awesome and inspiring "plumbutter 2" works perfectly. An entire album could be made using this one synth.

*Comes with power adapter and 20 cables"
