Random Voltage to Buchla Oscillators

Todd Barton

"Today's question: What if I send the exact same random voltage to different oscillators in the Buchla domain. Will they all respond the same?"

"Hello,
Happy to share this one with you ❤
I m lucky enough to be part of the sound designer team for the Arturia PolyBrute, here is a walkthrough demo of some Presets I m working on(I'm also working on official demos for Arturia which will be much more complete) .
On this demo I didn t add any effects except a very little Mastering ( Little compressor and Limiter) so all the effects you can hear come from the synth.It s better if you listen to this demo with good Speakers with Sub or good Headphone especially the bass presets.
I didn t shoot too close because this version is a pre Factory version and some typography are not exactly the same on the final version.
You have to know that is a demo of my sounds , it didn 't cover at all all the possibility of the Synthesizer and also I m not a "real Keyboard Player".
Few info about the PolyBrute: It s a 6 Full Voice Analog Polyphonic Synth with 2 filter/voice , Morphing possibility and lot of nice controller option ( like the Morphee , the Ribbon and a pressure-sensitive Keyboard ) and 3 digital effects.
I really love to use this synth, it's really inspiring.

Digital Waveform User Oscillator for Korg Minilogue XD, Prologue and NTS-1

Tim Shoebridge

"I am very pleased to be able to present in this video my latest user oscillator for the Prologue, Minilogue XD and NTS-1. For me this oscillator is very much a trip down memory lane and an attempt to recreate some of the amazing sounds from one particular poly synth released by Korg way back in 1985.

To purchase and download this user oscillator, please go to my SoundMangling website at the following link: https://www.soundmangling.com/2020/09..."

Mortuary (John Cacavas Tribute) by Everett Dudgeon (Prophet X)

EverettDudgeon138

"John Cacavas is one of the best composers in horror that has sadly been ignored. His iconic whistle oriented score for the awesome Horror Express still sends shivers down my spine. Other works include The Satanic Rites Of Dracula and Kojak.

I was going through a bunch of unreleased horror soundtracks and when I came across Mortuary I couldn't believe that John Cacavas was the composer. Luckily my Prophet X was next to me and I felt inspired.

The Prophet X is doing everything here. The upright piano, some bowed tonal percussion, suspenseful orchestral strings and some 12 String guitar hits.)

Enjoy!"

New Baloran Synth In The Works - Coming to SynthFest 2021

Un peu de son du nouveau projet

Laurent Baloran

"Retour du bac à sable dans le studio pour valider quelques options et une bonne occasion de vous présentez un peu de son ;)"

Googlish:

"Back from the sandbox to the studio to validate some options and a good opportunity to introduce yourself to some sound;)"

From the comments: "That’s definitely not a soft synth. Sounds „oberheimisch“ with highpass filter, also wave table and FM ?? Interesting!!" to which Laurent replied: "Thanks, I love your words ;)" He later states: "Thanks, I can't dwell on tech too much but it's not strictly speaking a wavefolder;)" and "No more precise information before SynthFest 2021, you will have to be there;) And thank you very much for your words."

Curious if that circuit board to the left is it.

Update on the board from Laurent: "Thank you, yes, it's horror in the foreground. It's not a prototype, but rather a sandbox to test/validate my ideas and schematics. How it works, it's half a voice card. I should go to V2, a real voice card prototype, pretty quickly now. The control panel is virtual, developed under JUCE, but very similar to what the physical panel will be. This allowed me to validate the ergonomic ideas."
