· 9 Instruments
Bass Drum, Snare Drum, Lo Tom, Hi Tom, Hi Hat, Clap, Rim, Crash and Ride. All instruments are polyphonic and have single outputs. From the hi-hat section, it's short 8-bit samples that are played back with an analogue envelope. The sample flash memory is now bigger than ever: there are 31 samples per instrument.

· Real analog tone generation
for BD, SD, LT and HT with digital, dH storable / midi controllable control of all parameters. In order to influence the analog sound generation as little as possible, all D / A converters have been adapted to the parameters discrete and built into the circuits - in proven XBase / AirBase technology.

· 16 Knobs
To edit the sounds, there is an infinite rotary encoder for each analog parameter that adjusts the sounds without skipping or cumbersome turning around. Each knob has a 3-color LED that indicates which parameters to edit for the selected instrument.

· Improved kick drum
The most famous sound of the XBase09 was and is its kick. We added another parameter and gave the "hottest bass drum in the world" (original quote of some users) a compression value that allows you to continuously adjust between 909-moderate ultra-compressed envelope or 808-typical exponential curve.

· Analog Tom Toms
There are now also extremely good sounding and widely editable analog tom toms as in the AirBase99.

· Internal step sequencer
The XBASE 999 has already installed the ingenious step sequencer.

Synth Stuff Ep. 58 - Yamaha CS-5

Published on Aug 11, 2019 tritonrecordings

"Sorry I'm late - life tends to be busy when you're juggling two bands and a side project. Here's the Yamaha CS-5, an affordable mono-synth from the late 70's. It's a short video because it's a pretty basic synth. If you come across one in working order, it's cool for your bread and butter mono sound and has a cool industrial look to it. I threw in a fun surprise at the end. Bigger and better synths are coming up soon-ish. :)"

Nord Drum 3p demo

Published on Aug 11, 2019 Chris Bran

"Percussion and bass sounds presented on two copies of Nord Drum 3p by Clavia. Most of the sounds I modelled myself thanks to quite complex synthesis you can find on the 3p. Either recodred from a background or directly through audio cables the 3p sounds very dynamic and interesting. I am not a professional drummer, so excuse me playing the percussion. Have fun!"

Pedals4Synths - Walrus Audio Fathom

Published on Aug 11, 2019 Pedals4Synths

"hey pedalheads!

I was waiting for the Walrus Audio Fathom since a few now and I was very impatient about it. It's a very nice lil box able of a ton : from classy studio reverb to echo'ed (the hidden mode) reverberation to some long lush delayed shimmer type result. Amazing! It's being TESTED (no musical intention or artistic attempt here, please be indulgent it's a test not a jam!) with the phenomenal SE-02 from Roland and Studio Electronics."

Quiet Touch [Ambient Modular]

Published on Aug 10, 2019 Tape Ghost

"A new patch for my eurorack utilizing the Hertz Donut, Quantum Rainbow, 4MS Spectral Multiband Resonator, and Clouds. Using Pamela's new workout heavily to modular the 4ms SMR. Hertz Donut is used for the bass drones, Quantum Rainbow is used for noise layers, Clouds has a frozen recording of a piano."

Bitwig Grid will it x0x?

Published on Aug 10, 2019 Empty Vessel

"Experiments with creating a 303 ish sequenced monosynth in the Bitwig Grid. Drums from 2nd Grid patch, pitch modulated sine wave plus saturation for kick and probability driven sequenced sampler for hi-hat. Slide definitely needs some work. Sorry the performance is a bit rough :)"

Oberheim Matrix 6 | Quick Overview and Sound Examples

Published on Aug 10, 2019 MickMazzMusic

"Quick overview and sound examples of the Oberheim Matrix 6 synthesizer made in the 1980s.

All sounds in the background music (expect for drums) are from the Matrix 6."

---
The Matrix-6 has something very few synths out there offer control wise - release velocity across the keyboard. You can modulate parameters by how quickly you release keys. It's almost the reverse of poly aftertouch if you think about it. Or a way around it - patents and costs preventing poly aftertouch at the time. BTW, for those that do not know, the Matrix-6 was my first synth and hence my alias, matrix and MATRIXSYNTH. Matrixsynth.com launched back in 1997, before The Matrix movie. :) The green on black comes from the old site and a nod to old computer screens.

Vermona '14: Jam in G

Published on Aug 10, 2019 Kris Lennox

"Hello all. Very busy the past while, hence no posts. But when the Vermona calls, the Vermona calls! Time for a jam on the '14. Great tone: great bass (try with headphones and the bass at the beginning/end will be very prominent). When I'm looking to have some fun/do a melodic/lyrical solo on a mono, it is almost always the '14 I turn to. Other synths have more features, but when it comes to nothing aside from the pure sound, I do have a soft spot for the '14.

Enjoy/all best
Kris"
