"SOUNDPAINT is about freedom of (musical) expression. It is an Artificial Instrument engine that offers an eternity of possibilities and an engine that will adapt to each of its users' needs. In this little real-time demo we test a set of emotive strings combined with prepared piano. Enjoy!"

Étude No.2 - Arbhar/Lúbadh/Morphagene/Desmodus Versio/Mimeophon/Rampage/Muxlicer

Omri Cohen

"If you like what I do and want to support my work, consider joining me on Patreon - https://www.patreon.com/omricohen

Here are some patch notes:
--------------------------
- Arbhar is set to wavetable mode and the Keystep Pro is sending pitch information to it.
- I'm using a looping function from Rampage to modulate the spread, and the other function is being triggered by the Keystep Pro, and it's opening the density of Arbhar.
- I'm also clocking Muxlicer with the Keystep Pro, which is sequencing the position of the wavetable.
- Arbhar is set to have its built-in reverb.
- I recorded Arbhar into Morphagene and Lubadh.
- Morphagene is playing the recording one octave lower and is going through Desmodus Versio.
- Lubadh is playing a small segment of the recording and its starting point is being modulated by the MIN and MAX outputs of Rampage. It's then going through the Mimeophon."

Mother Brain Boss Theme (Super Metroid) - Live Synth Cover

GLASYS

"Here's the Mother Brain final boss battle theme from Super Metroid arranged and performed live on my synthesizers + finger drumming controller.

I've covered a lot of Metroid recently and I was actually planning to move on to something else, but this haunting theme was stuck in my head and I felt compelled to play it. It's fitting for the times, I suppose!

This track is available as a high quality audio download for my Patrons:
https://www.patreon.com/glasys

Technical details:

All sounds performed live simultaneously (no pre-recorded material or overdubs).

The left hand horn / bass sound was programmed on the Sequential Prophet XL even though I'm controlling it from the mini keyboard on my Arcadia controller.

The right hand spooky sound consists of multiple layers: A pad created on the Prophet XL, a few stacked / detuned church organs from HALion Sonic and SWAM Trombones (the latter being mapped to one octave only). All these layers are pitch-swept simultaneously using an expression pedal.

Drum sounds were programmed with Native Instruments Battery 4.

The intro sound is played on the Arturia Microbrute which is running through Chase Bliss Audio's Thermae and MOOD pedals. The 'wet' knob on the Thermae is all the way up which is why there's a delay between what my fingers are doing and the sound you hear.

Hope you enjoy, thanks so much for your support!"

"great app - been using it for years as a huge Novation fan
I made all of these on the go in the iPhone while at lunch, waiting for appointments, bored shopping with the girlfriend, etc. - no canned loops used, all custom with lots of presets/FX tweaks - final sequenced pieces mixed on the fly to a stereo recorder"

Sequence Reinforcement

MAKEN0ISE

"Let’s consider multing the pitch of a sequence and using it to sequence something else at the same time, to reinforce the shape of the sequence in our ears and minds: we can sequence timbre, LFO rates - even panning!
