ETHER V2 (by SOMA laboratory)

ETHER V2 (by SOMA laboratory) DEMO Published on Dec 6, 2019 Vlad Kreimer

"Demo of the second version of ETHER by SOMA laboratory.

The artist: Ekaterina Khmelevskaya"

"ETHER is a kind of anti-radio. Instead of being tuned to a specific radio station, it receives all the interference and radiation that a traditional radio tries to eliminate in order to create a clean signal. It captures the radio waves “as is” from hertz to gigahertz because it doesn’t contain the tuned input circuit that filters out all frequencies except the narrow band of a specific station. This allows ETHER to perceive the invisible electromagnetic landscape that humans created unintentionally, making possible live electromagnetic field listening and recording."

JAMMING IN THE KITCHEN

Published on Dec 5, 2019 Audio Wanderer

"Lately I felt in love again with the Yamaha QY70. A powerfull small unit, pretty easy to play with and very enjoyable. Here just jamming with the Yamaha QY70 in the kitchen. No additional equipment. Recorded directly into the Zoom H1.

Peace!

ST Modular GIVE II posts

Some info on the module via ST Modular

"Give II12 HP Classic Analog VCO with additional Frequency Divider and Waveform Mixing OptionsIt is not a substitution for GIVE I, but rather another version as it is based on the same core circuit. Actually both versions complement each other very well building a powerful complex oscillator.The VCO provides five outputs, the last four of them can be mixed with an integrated mixer: PULSE, SAW, TRIANGLE, 3x PULSE SUB & NOISEPatching a voltage/audio source into FM you can frequency modulate the oscillator. Incoming voltages can be attenuated with FM CV. In the middle of the module you will find the PWM potentiometer. Here you may change the pulse width of the pulse wave. The width may also be controlled via external voltage with the PWM jack and the PWM CV attenuator.Just like all other classic analog VCOs GIVE II also tracks one volt per octave with the help of the 1V/OCT input jack. Each wave can also be hardsynced by an external wave patched to the SYNC jack.In addition to the classic VCO functions GIVE II also provides an integrated frequency divider. The MIX output jack will not only supply the waveforms SAW, TRIANGLE and NOISE, but also provides up to 3 sub octaves derivated from the PULSE waveform. The volume of each suboctave may be adjusted with the potentiometer SUB 1-3. ORIG will adjust the volume of the original PULSE signal. Using the switch ORIG SQU you can flip the SQUARE waveform."

SampleRobot 6.5 Support for the Sequential Prophet X

via Sequential

"In a move guaranteed to please Sequential users, Skyline has just released a new version of their highly acclaimed sampling and editing tool, SampleRobot Pro that provides full support for the Prophet X. SampleRobot Pro 6.5 is a state-of-the-art sampling and sample prep tool that automates the usually labor-intensive process of sampling and sample editing. It allows users to sample MIDI-equipped instruments with a push of button by triggering MIDI notes, program changes, recording audio, truncating samples, and finding smooth loops using sophisticated auto loop processing and transient recognition.

Now, with full Prophet X support, users can use SampleRobot Pro 6.5 to create, edit, and export custom sound libraries into the Prophet X in one streamlined process. It allows the easy creation of multi-sampled Prophet X instruments with multiple velocity layers and other essential features. The tool can also convert existing sample libraries for use with the Prophet X, which features 50 GB of user sample storage at 16-bit, 48 kHz fidelity.

For more information, or to purchase SampleRobot 6.5, visit the SampleRobot website."

Playing the OP-1 with an external keyboard (Arturia Keystep)

Published on Dec 5, 2019 Synth & Sundry

"The Teenage Engineering OP-1 synth has a built-in keyboard but its also able to receive MIDI over USB. Let's take a look at a few examples from different OP-1 synth engines to see if there's any difference in the resulting sound. The external keyboard used is the Arturia Keystep.

The OP-1 synth engines featured in the video are:
- Cluster
- Digital
- DNA
- Dr Wave

The OP-1 audio was recorded directly on the OP-1 itself to maintain quality as consistent as possible.

The video was shot with a Canon EOS 700D/T5i Rebel. The voiceover was recorded with a Shure SM48 through a Focusrite Scarlett interface. The whole video was edited on Final Cut Pro X."

"Used in really good condition. Some minor surface wear but the internals were recently serviced and plays well and stays in tune pretty well. All keys work and there are no scratchy pots. This is the later 6 voice version with the slide switch on the back to select a secondary memory ROM.

This may have limited features and controls compared to the OB-X, but when a synth sounds this good you don't need to do a lot of tweaking!"

Note there is an accessory box from midisoft that gives you access to parameters over MIDI via the computer interface on the OB-SX. Click here and scroll down for some demos of it in action.
