Corsynth C112 - Patch Idea - VC Panning

Published on Oct 4, 2019 Corsynth

"Thanks to the attenuverter and the inverter function the C112 can be used to create a voltage controlled panning effect.

Patch description

For this patch we use a triangle wave from a LFO patched to the attenuverter input. The output is internally connected to the inverter input. So now we have two triangle waves,one inverted and one normal.

Each triangle wave is patched to the CV input of a VCA. Both VCAs have the same audio input.One of the VCAs is our L output and the other the R output. For a real panning effect, not just jumping from L to R, we need to add a bit of initial gain to the VCAs.

The amount of panning can be controlled with the attenuverter level.

In this patch we are using another LFO to control the frequency of the first LFO to create an interesting panning effect."

Korg DSS-1 - The Ultimate Sampling Synthesizer | Tutorial - Demo - Workflow

Published on Oct 4, 2019

Track video embedded further below.

"The track used to demonstrate the DSS-1 in the beginning can be downloaded for free here:
https://espenkraft.bandcamp.com/track...

00:00 Intro and demo track
03:38 Demo of sound capability
14:14 Sound, Sampling, Waveforms, Multisound tutorial ++

The Korg DSS-1 sampling synthesizer, released in 1986 is a truly impressive piece of kit.
Sampling, Waveforms you can draw yourself and harmonic waveform synthesis (additive synthesis) can all be used as basis for oscillators.
It has a fully analog audio path, resonant VCF, dedicated 6-stage envelopes for both the VCF and VCA, and 2 sine wave LFOs, oscillator sync, and an advanced unison mode.
On top of that you have two digital delays that can be used for a variety of effects, either in serial or parallel,
For a fraction of the price the DSS-1 rivaled the Fairlight system.

Unfortunatley, the operating system and workflow is arcane and borderline insanity.
I've tried to condens this tutorial down to something usable and understandable so you can use this gem with your own sounds and not just use it as a rompler.
For demonstration and tutorial purposes, the samples and sounds I make to show you how it operates are not meant to sound very good. Just saying.. ;-) "

18-The Arturia MicroFreak- LFO and Envelope

Published on Oct 4, 2019 AutomaticGainsay

"Here is a demonstration of the sound and functionality of the LFO and envelope present on the Arturia MicroFreak.

The theme music was composed and recorded using only the Arturia MIcroFreak. The drums were programmed using a Korg Triton LE."

Matrixbrute x2, DFAM, Model D, Vermona '14, Arp Odyssey: "Six by Eighteen"

Published on Oct 4, 2019 Kris Lennox

"Utter synth indulgence :) I imagine this is the first time these synths have been heard together. The included is a six-mono version of the track I uploaded last week. Following the voices as per the video should be easy enough, but ordered highest-lowest, they are:

Model D (I've moved this part down an octave from the score; in this arrangement this octave works better)
DFAM
MB
V '14
Arp Oddy
MB.

Here's an HQ Soundcloud link:

PS if anyone wants the MIDI files for this, I'm happy to sell them: £25 for all six individual files, plus a composite file (velocities have been edited in the composite file; in the individual files, all velocities are a straight 127). Just send me a message via paypal (krislennoxpiano@gmail.com) and i'll ping off an invoice.

Anyone looking for the score, £20 seems fair. Again, just message me via paypal.

Enjoy/all best
Kris
