Jamuary #12 - Dark Times (ft Soundplane & Eigenharp)

TheTechnobear

"Today's Jam features a passion of mine...two rare expressive instruments.
The Eigenharp Alpha by Eigen Labs (main shot) and the Madrona Labs Soundplane (inset as shown in other jams)

What I love about these instruments is you can use quite simple sounds and add the feeling with your touches, no need for automation when you can be the modulation :)

Why two expressive controllers?
simply because with expressive controllers everything is in 'how they feel'... they make you play differently - the Eigenharp is fast, precise... the Soundplane is more mellow, evolving.

The sound source in both cases is Aalto by Madrona Labs probably my favourite synth, which was built for expressive controllers like the Eigenharp and Soundplane, so is a 'natural fit'.
This paired up with my favourite reverbs from Vahalla DSP.

(1) It should be noted both the Eigenharp and Soundplane are controllers , in this case they are sending OSC, but can also send midi (mpe)"

Buchla Easel MIDI Test

tibetronica

"A MIDI test with the Buchla Easel. There were early reports of the Easel being faulty in receiving MIDI but I have found one workaround, which is to always send "MIDI Pressure" information along with note-on and note-off. The MIDI Pressure is reflected as pressure CV, and the Easel can take dense throughput.

これは「Buchla＝ブクラ」というメーカーの「Easel」という機種です。中身はアナログ回路がぎっしり詰まっていますが、かなり高速の音符情報（MIDI）を受けても落ちません。テクノポップの時代にも生存可能！"

Waldorf Microwave 1 - Presets/Patches Demo

Sonic Freaks

"Presets are available here: https://tinyurl.com/microwave-presets

We have created 64 presets for the Waldorf Microwave 1 synthesizer. This hybrid wavetable synthesizer, with its analog filters, is a direct descendant of the famous PPG Wave 2.3. Both the Wave 2.3 and the Microwave 1 make use of wavetables, a new technology at the time that uses sampled waveforms through which the user can scroll through in real time, producing special sounds. Although released back in 1989 its rich feature set and complex sound makes it a very competitive and capable synth even today.

Unlike the PPG Wave 2.3, the Waldorf Microwave 1 suffered from the same issue as many late 80's synths….the lack of rotary knobs, making programming this advanced hybrid synthesizer quite difficult.

Sonic Freaks has created this fantastic collection of presets to take full advantage of the advanced and unique features of the Waldorf Microwave 1. In this presets collection you will find Dreamy Pads, Evolving Textures, Ambient Strings, Crystal Clear Bells, Thick Basses and Sweet Leads and much more. The presets are contemporary and vintage at the same time. They are very suitable for all kinds of (electronic) music

The collection includes 64 presets to revitalise your Waldorf Microwave 1 and get inspired to make great music."

Waldorf microQ, Q and Blofeld Reformation Soundset

Novaline Music

This one was spotted and sent in via Soviet Space Child.

"Reformation Soundset is a brand new wavetable based soundset with 100 patches that will blow your mind.
Novaline has experimented a lot with all the routing possibilities to reform the different waveforms and wavetables to make them sound interesting.

This soundset will be useful for any genre you¥re working with. By hearing the demo, you'll hear exactly why!

This soundset contains all from Leads, Keys, Plucks, Pads, Atmo, Strings and very fat Bass sounds.

All internal effects such as Distortion, Bitcrush, Delay, Chorus and Phaser are being used but not reverb.

Only External Effect being is Reverb with the plugin, Native Instruments Raum, with some Predelay to give some of the sounds some ambience to get the picture how it sound like in your productions or use.

In the demo you will hear some beats Novaline made to demonstrate how it sound like in a production with sidechain.

Reformation soundset is for the MICRO Q model, but works with Waldorf Q, Q+ and Blofeld models as I imported the microQ bank to qXr Editor and bloX Editor to convert the bank. Keep in mind that they will sound slightly different on those models.
