Patch of the Week 44: Using Nu:Tekt NTS-1 as Korg monologue MULTI Engine Oscillator

Published on Feb 7, 2020 Korg

"The MULTI engine oscillator in the NTS-1 is the same as on Korg prologue and minilogue xd, meaning it can load custom oscillators created with the SDK. Here’s how to combine NTS-1 and monologue together into one synth."

Synth Rorschach #71: Terrapin Station

via Terrapin Station

Terrapin Station is the ninth studio album by the Grateful Dead and the name Terrapin is close to Tcherepnin, aka Serge Tcherepnin of Serge modular. Note the triangular shapes created by the bars holding around the speakers. Reminds me of Serge modular synthesizers producing sound.  The rows on the left almost symbolize a touch interface as well as patch points. The black and gold reminds me of Make Noise which pays tribute to "West Coast" synthesis which Serge was a part of. Pretty cool. Check out the Synth Rorschach label for more.

On a related note, check out the vintage Black Panel Serge from Cal arts here.

OBXa pure, dry and raw, 50 sounds

Published on Feb 7, 2020 synthlegends

"Maybe this is my ultimate OBXa video with my favourite 50 own programmed patches. Enjoy my improvised concert of brass, strings, pads, leads, basses, pianos, sweeps and drones. I recorded the OBXa pure, dry an raw without any effects, plug ins, mastering or equalizing. You just hear it as it is, stereo into the audio interface. The OBXa is one of my favourite synths wiht magical tones and orchestral epic sounds. Thanks for wathching again, CU!"

Best Ambient Synth Shootout #78: Kawai K1r - Song 2

Published on Feb 7, 2020 Christian's Sonic Spaces

"This is the second song with the K1r. It's a 16 voice 8-part multitimbral synthesizer based on 256 PCM waveforms. One interesting feature is the ringmodulation (AM) between two oscillators.

I used for the recording the following FX chain:
K1r - Alesis Philtre - Pigtronix Echolution 2 Deluxe - GFI System Specular Reverb 2. Depending on the recorded track some FX are deactivated

The signal went through a Presonus StudioLive 16.0.2 into the PCfor recording. To create the complete song I recorded consecutively several stereo tracks. The final song was then mastered with a bit EQ and compression on some tracks and some limiting on the master track.

Well, I decided to go back to the basics, but at the same time make something useful for the synth community and do a kind of competition (I like competitions;-). What's my best synth for ambient music :-)"
