Today I got a special package from Syntaur, the USA distributor of Analogue Renaissance products. It's a set of six 80017A-GS VCF/VCA replacement upgrade chips for the Roland Juno-106 synthesizer. What's involved to install them? How do they sound? I'll demonstrate - but you be the judge! Be sure to post in the comments what you think. If this demo was helpful be sure to like and subscribe :D

Novation Bass Station 2 AFX mode (4.14) demo

"Hi!

Got the BS 2 for a short time so I`ve decided to check how it looks now with the newest 4.14 firmware. It is just some fun with the features. Beside 2 Echo`s from Ableton Live there`s no comression or external FX just the usual limiting at the end of the chain.

Fel free to ask any questions.

Enjoy,

Hunart©"

"There always was a missing link in Endorphin.es instruments to create nice melodic rhythms and groves.
We were working to fill that gap and we did it! Let's rock!
Stay tuned on Superbooth'19. We have a big announcement.
You will find us at Booth #O511

Music for that video created by Todd Barton.

Todd recorded all 16 layered music parts using Shuttle system only. No external processing or eq/fx used."

Recently I have been actively developing the concept of “passive instruments”. I understand passive instruments to be different multimedia objects that do not require management so much as co-existence with them based on relations born of a mutual “hybrid” symbiosis.

“Last breadth” is an example of such an instrument. The operating principle of the object is fairly simple – the exhaled air (its pressure and flow rate) activates the generative process, which depends on the exhalation parameters and is managed by the air movement in the organ. The object does not require any special game technique, although any change in the breathing (either premeditated or caused by physiological factors) is directly dependent on game dynamics and also on all the other parameters used to generate the sonic flow.

The idea of this project came to me during an emotional upheaval and concerns about my health that occurred all of a sudden. It is not as I had real grounds to worry about my life. On the other hand, however, the outcome is well-known and could happen at any moment. I don't feel any existential fear of death. On the contrary the “transition” is a wonderful topic for studies as part of art practice. I consider this object to constitute a deathbed mask – a ritual instrument of dying that can be played with when I no longer have any strength to use any other instrument. Until my last breath. And the final representation of the object was formed on this basis: sterile cyber-gothic, new rituals, the organs that support the functioning of the organ.

Kloob Blotet (Blofeld & Tetr4 joining forces)

Published on Apr 27, 2019 - Kloob -

"Testing some darky tones on these very cool synths.

The track consists of 4 sounds from Tetr4, whose audio outs are routed separately to the audio interface, and 4 soundscapes from Blofed; two background atmospheres and the deep ones played realtime. Its a nice sounding balance between analog and digital worlds.

Moreover, the Eventide Blackhole reverb plugin (very creative device) and Crystallizer (from Soundtoys) provide a great ambience to the track. It´s very interesting how good fx transform sounds… good discussion here :)

Well, this is not my usual stuff, but I really like the feeling I´ve managed. Maybe in a near future I’ll finish some tracks like this for a release.

By the way!!! A brand new Dark Ambient album will be released soon. Stay tuned!!!

Thanks for listening!
All the best!

Includes card extension cable for testing and some additional spare parts, cassette tape, and manual. Everything working well, aside from the ring mod section which is disabled."
