AutomaticGainsay

"Here is the first part of a two-part demonstration of the sound and functionality of the Motion Record facility present on the Arturia PolyBrute.

The theme for this demonstration was recorded by multitracking the Arturia PolyBrute in order to provide the various parts necessary. The drums were assembled out of loops from Apple’s GarageBand."

Sequential "Vintage" mode feature on Oberheim OB-6 OS 1.6.4

manmade madman

"There seems to be many questions about the newly released OS 1.6.4 on Sequential's Prophet-6 and OB-6.

...WHAT DO IT DO??

This is an explanation in sound instead of words!

The new VINTAGE knob function imports the same randomness from the Sequential Prophet-5 and Prophet-10 Rev 4's VINTAGE knob. It imparts some randomness into the VCO's, VCF's, VCA's, envelope stages, and more.

In some opinions, this makes synths breathe and come alive with sonic character and act as if they were made 50 years ago!

In my opinion, this deserves a technical award, as it really makes these newly manufactured synths sound imperfect, less static and clinical and therefore sonically pleasing to the ear."

You can find a Prophet-6 demo of the new vintage mode here, and the news first posted here.

Sequarallel TRAX Tracker Remote MIDI CC Step Sequencer Control feature

freshnelly

"This demonstration/tutorial video covers the TRAX Tracker Remote extension for MIDI CC control on the TRAX remote MIDI Channel.This feature is different from recording notes into the tracker from a keyboard in that it's similar to traditional Sequencer control of each step.We think it's a good addition to the Sequarallel and have decided it should stay! Enjoy the video S*"

Sequential Artist Spotlight Interview with SULENE

You can find the interview on Sequential's website here.

"Growing up in Cape Town, South Africa, Sulene moved to the U.S. at nineteen years old for music. Since 2015 she’s toured stages worldwide as the guitarist for Nate Ruess’ (of fun.) live band. Her singing and playing has been heard everywhere from Jimmy Kimmel Live! to the East Room of the White House, performing for President Obama. During this time, you’ve most-likely heard her voice during Halle Berry shower scenes or Al Pacino stage diving, as the multi-instrumentalist has written original music for and performed on the scores for several TV shows and films, such as Ray Donovan and The Affair. Her work is also regularly heard in TV commercials, being featured in spots for Nike, Verizon, Microsoft, Dior, and many more.

Though her experience is vast, her newest work speaks the loudest in terms of her unique voice. The forthcoming EP, he•don•ic features the singles, “whiskey.weed.sex.candy.”, “photo booth”, and “i still think you’re so fake”. Sulene delves deep into what addiction means, what purpose hedonic pleasures serve, and writes with vulnerability about her experiences with both. Exploring a darker side of her character and production, she’s labeled the newest record as gothic-disco-party music. As well as creating her own record from start to finish in her one-bedroom apartment in Brooklyn, she’s also delved into filming and editing her own music videos and artwork with this release, giving a full 360 view of her newest art.

Sulene’s previous EP’s Strange and Fire Escaping have been featured in Billboard, Buzzfeed Earmilk, as well as Spotify’s Indie Pop and New Music Friday playlists in several countries. Sulene was also feature in Rolling Stone for her contribution of the acoustic version of her song “Diamond” for the Rough Trade compilation album Talk – Action = Zero. And by the way, Sulene did the motion capture for the bassist/guitarist character in Rock Band VR.

We chatted with Sulene on how she uses the Prophet-6 in her music."

Sequential Prophet 6 Firmware Update 1.6.3: Turn your Prophet 6 in a Prophet 5 with the Vintage Knob

The Great Filter

See this post for additional details. It applies to the OB--6, and both receive MPE support as well.

"TLDR: Now the P6 has a knob to make it sound vintage-er, and it sounds gorgeous. Check it out!!

Hi all,

Today Sequential just released this FANTASTIC update to all the P6/OB6 keyboard and module versions.

In addition to MPE support which is fabulous, they brought the “vintage knob” feature of the newly released Prophet 5 to these machines!

This feature essentially makes all the parameters in the synth vary a bit from their programmed values per voice, meaning instead of all voices having the same value of filter cutoff, envelope settings, etc, they actually diverge according to how much you increase the vintage knob.

The result is this beautiful vintage sound that makes everything you play less predictable, which amounts to more variability and therefore more musicality!"
