MOOG MINIMOOG + UNO DRUM // PURE ANALOG

Published on Oct 30, 2019 LESINDES

"This is another episode of PURE ANALOG here with VINTAGE synth OBERHEIM SEM (= Synthesizer Expander Module). Two of these SEM units make the sound engine of a TWO VOICE (TVS) and four of them obviously a FOUR VOICE -- PURE ANALOG is a project to find out and show the qualities of analog synthesizers and eventually also hybrids. And exciting Question is also how contemporary synths like this lush GRP A-2 or EREBUS NYX compare to vintage legends like MINIMOOG or ARP ODYSSEY or ROLAND JUPITER 4 etc. So this piece will be played and performed with different synths in the future track by track recorded in DAW without any equing or otherwise processed in DAW, no add modulation, reverb, saturatio or other FX. Only a mastering compressor, EQ and Limiter is used on the sum. So what you hear is completely un-FX-ed material -- almost impossible to find these days!!!"

Hear the insane sound of the EMS Synthi VCS-3 vintage modular dream synth

Published on Oct 30, 2019 mylarmelodies

"So glad I caught this on film - here’s what happened when the fantastic Liz Dobson showed me how to take my first steps on one of of Huddersfield Universities (2!!) incredible vintage EMS VCS-3 synthesizers - unquestionably one of the greatest synthesizers of all time, and as you’ll hear (stay with it right till the end!!) one with more character than you can possibly wiggle a joystick at. Dream. Machine."

New MFB-SYNTH PRO

"The SYNTH PRO is the advanced, polyphonic version of the SYNTH II.

All oscillators are discretely structured. So here are for the sound base so no highly integrated chips are used, but proven components that even in Synthesizer 40 years ago produced a great analog sound. If required, the VCOs can be switched over to the particularly stable DCO mode, for example if unfavorable environmental conditions have to be overcome. The provided waveforms can be superimposed and additionally modulated by different sources. VCO2 and VCO3 can be synchronized to the first oscillator. For this purpose, VCO1 and VCO2 can be frequency-modulated with VCO3. In the SYNTH PRO, two filters are used per voice, which can be connected in series or in parallel. The low-pass filter works as a cascade filter with a slope of 24 dB / oct. and uses the popular SSI 2144. Multifilter and VCAs are based on OTA's. Both filters and the VCA's can be modulated by different sources. The LFOs and envelopes are calculated per voice by fast processor. There is also a dedicated chip for the effects section. This can produce not only reverb and echo but also chorus and flanging effects. The built-in sequencer works polyphonically and is available in addition to a monophonic arpeggiator.

* Eight-part analog desktop synthesizer
* Analogue VCOs, switchable to DCO operation
* Sawtooth <> Triangle <> Rectangle / Pulse <> Ringmodulator / Noise can be crossfaded
* Sync and FM in VCO mode
* 3 oscillators, each with sub-OSC
* Analog 24-dB low-pass filter
* Analog 12-dB multi-mode filter with low, high and band-pass characteristics
* 2 analog VCA
* 2 LFOs (sawtooth, rectangle, triangle, random), tempo-syncable, one-shot mode
*3 envelope generators: 2 x ADSR, 1 x ADS (R), each with loop function
* Effects section with reverb, echo, chorus and other effect types
* Fully storable
* Integrated arpeggiator and polyphonic step sequencer
* Send and receive MIDI CC's
* Made in Germany
* Stable metal chassis
* Recommended retail price: 1080 Euro

Novation // Find Your Sound - Journeys: Electronica

Published on Oct 30, 2019 NovationTV

"Find Your Sound - Journeys are a series of short films documenting the process of creating original music using sounds we have found across the world with Launchpad.

For the first instalment, we headed out to explore the diverse soundscapes surrounding Lake Como, in Northern Italy. We wanted to create an ambient, downtempo electronica track, and the serene natural environment at the foot of the Alps felt like an ideal space to capture the sounds we needed to make our vision a reality.

Novation Peak Patches by Jogging House

Novation Peak - Sound Pack Demos Published on Oct 29, 2019 Jogging House

"I made a Sound Pack for the wonderful Novation Peak synthesizer that you can download for free at: https://components.novationmusic.com/...

In this video you can hear a few examples of those sounds. All tracks were recorded in single takes without overdubbing.

Hope you enjoy the sounds."

Towers - Ambient - Novation Peak / Eurorack / ZOIA / Tape

Published on Oct 29, 2019 Jogging House

"All sounds in this track originate from the Novation Peak synthesizer and are part of my Peak Sound Pack. You can download it for free at: https://components.novationmusic.com/...

I recorded some drones and phrases into ZOIA, Morphagenes and Clouds and then played Peak on top of this bed of sounds.

The Digitone is just used as a Midi sequencer here, it does not make any sounds.

Everything is running through OTO Bim & Bam and recorded straight to 1/4" tape.

Hope you enjoy it."

Novation Peak - A Truly Blade Runner Dedicated Synth (?)

Published on Oct 30, 2019 Alba Ecstasy

"Yep! I finally got the #NovationPeak, especially through the kindness of my friends from Soundcreation.ro - thank you guys! - and there are a couple of weeks now since I can’t stop creating amazing #ambient #patches with this marvellous synth!

With its (it's actually her 😜) "Vangelian" / Blade Runner character, this synth can achieve some amazing sounds, having a very nice modulation matrix.

And the effects?! Good God! Heavenly!

Drones, pads, bass lines, arps, leads, rhythms! - everything you can create has its special vibe, putting you in a Blade Runner mood, for sure.

More videos with Peak to come, as well as a bunch of presets!

PS: Sorry for the extra-distortion - the filter is a powerful monster!

PPS: Also, many thanks to my Patreon friends! ❤️

PPSPSP... lol - no external FX or EQ-ing"

THE PROMISES OF FLIGHT: Halloween 2019 Live dawless Volca Jam #VolcaModular #Keys #Bass #VolcaDrum

Published on Oct 29, 2019 Gary P Hayes

Spotted this one on discchord.

"Continuous live dawless jam / improvisation - SciFi Halloween
Composed & Performed © Gary P Hayes in Mount Victoria Australia using
Korg #VolcaBass #VolcaModular #VolcaDrum #VolcaKeys
SFX & Solos on KO2 Reverb/Delay on Strymon Blue Sky
directly recorded on #ZoomH6 plus ambient sound no other processing

"Rough story breakdown - opens, green misty planet, small shuttle appears, crash lands on misty alien planet, drowsy pilot explores around the base of infinitely tall cliffs, in the twilight creatures eyes peer out in the deep forest, breathing, hissing, overhead the occasional space ship blares past, days seem to pass, being followed, distant bells call, see light on hill, panics, runs, enters dark alien 'castle', signs of humanity, but memories, corridors of gruesome happenings, dreamtime, escape from this world, finds unused shuttle on rooftop, flys, escapes over the endless forest, a moment of triumph, but a creature lurks in the shuttle, slo motion struggle, crash, melancholy, it all begins again"

Normally: All the Volcas and the KO2 are routed through MickXer 5 into 1. That then goes into the Zoom MS70 delay/reverb in stereo, then into the Zoom H6 recorder which powers my Beyer DT770 headphones for great mix balancing in real time. The volcas are sync'd as usual in a cv chain with each others in/out and v Drum as master. Also the Zoom H6 will eventually record 3 stereo tracks simultaneously (the vKeys and vModular through the effects) the vDrum and vBass (direct) and the two mics recording the ambient outdoor sounds live. For outdoor jams, power comes from normal phone style powerbanks 10000 & 20000mAh and I use the myvolts ripcord 5V to 9V USB adapter"
