"The synth comes with several mapping templates installed so whatever DAW you are using simply choose the template and they knobs are already assigned."
"The Clavia Nord Lead 2, released in 1997, is a member of the highly-regarded virtual analog synthesizer line from Clavia/Nord. This thing is loaded with features, as you’d expect. It offers not only exceptional sound, but also a superb hands-on experience for real-time sound manipulation, perfect for live performances. In addition to all the critically-acclaimed character and sounds of its predecessor, the Lead 2 features 16-voice polyphony, a ring modulator, and more LFO and arpeggiator waveforms. The Lead 2 is an extremely powerful unit made to perform at the highest professional level. Don’t miss this one!
This particular unit is in good condition, with some minor scratches, coloration, and peeling paint (please see photos). This unit has been tested by our professional technician and is working perfectly. All keys, buttons, and lights are working perfectly.
MIDISoft MIDI module attached. Internally powered. Allows full control over all functions like an OB-X."
MIDISoft MIDI really opens it up. Click here and scroll down for some demos and info. I owned an OB-SX minus the MIDISoft MIDI and it definitely one beefy sounding synth. Sounded more beefy than my OB-Xa. I beleive it is closer to the OB-X in sound. That said, the interface is very limiting. Think preset synth vs full blow synth. The filter only has a cutoff knob, no resonance. The MIDISoft MIDI should open it up.
"For day 7 of Jamuary I decided extend the jamming to video as well as music :) On the music front Im simply playing the soundplane in a free improv. On the video side, I brought out the Critter and Guitari Eyesy, and 'jammed' along with what Id played.
I really love the eyesy, for creatiing these video effects quickly, where it can react to the music, and also allow some hands on control.
details....
Music side: Improv on the soundplane playing Madrona Lab Aalto into Vahalla Shimmer and Vahalla SuperMassove.
Video side: Audio into Eyesy, video capture with a very cheap device off ebay. Eyesy is generating visual from audio using various 'scenes', where I use a green background, and 'green screen' video I did a couple of runs with EYESY, then brought them into Final Cut Pro. I added the main video with a sepia fx, to help the graphics stand out. then overlaid eyesy video, added keyer fx (green screen) - then chopped up bits of the eyesy images I wanted.
note: no additional fx were used in FCP, except crossfade transitions.
this sounds more complicated than it really is, its actually a very quick way to add additional video fx."
Well this was fun, and also took a bit longer than I thought it would which is why I've been a bit absent over Christmas. So after 13 odd years of making YouTube with you lovely people asking me for synth patch details I thought it was time I actually did something about it and start uploading patch collection videos.
Don't ask me why I started with what is probably the most difficult one to start with, the Korg NTS-1. Not only is it's architecture quite restrictive which makes it tough to make varied sounds for, it also has no memory or sensible way to share patches so I've had to develop my own method. Sure it sends midi CC's for most of the controls but there's still quite a lot that would be missing if you just relied on that, so a patch sheet was the answer. Well 2 actually, if the patch uses the Waves oscillator, custom oscillators or effects a second sheet is required. I've made blank sheets available in the downloads section so you can record your own sounds."
"Abbiamo ospitato al Soundmit 2020 l'artista Tulpa Dusha, doppio intervento con una live performance seguita da un'interessante intervista nella quale abbiamo approfondito la patch usata durante il live e parlato della sua scuola "Modular Moon" e del suo nuovo libro 'Modular Sound Synthesis on the Moon'
Artista multidisciplinare, ha appena scritto insieme a Pete Johnston il libro didattico "Modular Sound Synthesis on the Moon", raccolta di materiali teorici e pratici per gli studenti della Modular Synthesis School, una sezione di Modular Moon da lei creata.
