Petshop Boys - Heart (Mix) in QasarBeach (Fairlight cmi)


video by

"The 'Boys' loved their Fairlight Fairlight CMI. QasarBeach was captured with no edits, overdub or added effects to create this new mix of Heart.

'QasarBeach CMI IIz' is a Fairlight CMI simulator written from the ground up that does an amazing job of recreating the user interface and functionality of the original hardware, while adding many useful improvements that makes workflow faster and more intuitive."

Studio.h WPM Wireless Preset Manager for e-series compatible modules. Unfettered Preset Management!


video by Kent

"Introduction to the liberating Studio.h WPM (Wireless Preset Manager).
I'm working on the next video as this uploads. We'll look at everything in great detail, including:

Small system ideas
a 24 panel system
The configuration pages
and more.

00:00​ Start

02:20​ Switching Presets over WiFi!
03:15​ System Considerations w/206e
04:00​ WPM w/206e & Stobe/S&H Strategy
04:53​ Notes about my system
05:31​ The 2 pages WPM serves up
06:12​ Physical size and considerations (will it fit?)
07:18​ Dimensions: Height & Depth

===
Introductory video. Lots of talking and discussions of strategies and usage in systems.
Be sure to use the navigation/progress bar to jump to sections of interest for repeated viewing and pausing. I left many snapshot/screengrabs up for only 5 seconds as the video is already quite lengthy and one can easily pause upon what one wishes to see in greater detail.

More in the way of actual use coming up in next videos. I'll show it in my 24-panel system and then either my 10-panel or 4-panel (currently out on loan). We'll go through the pages that are served up by the WPM, etc.

[b]Answers to a handful of likely questions:[/b]
Q: How does it work?
A: It is a WiFi server and serves up (currently) two web pages that are accessed via a web browser. I've tested it on a Mac, iPad Pro, iPhone6s, and my ancient iPhone 3GS. The 3GS renders the main page strangely (fault of the browser due to its age and lack of updates) but it does work. Any cheapo Android should work and Studio.h have tested a few of them.

Q: Will it work with v2 (non-Primo) 200e systems?
A: Yes, there is a switch for this shown at 01:37​

Q: Is it possible to change the log-in information?
A: Yes, the WiFi name and password can be changed. I'll demonstrate this in the next video. There is also a switch, at 1:37​, showing that the system can be made entirely 'Open'. Live dangerously!

Q: Will this enable preset management of my 208 variant?
A: No. None of the 208 units are e-series compatible. They simply don't have the hardware onboard for e-series knob positions, slider positions, patching, levels, etc.
However, for the Easel-K owner, you've just level-upped your 223e!

Q: Will it coexist with existing Buchla Preset Managers (206e/225e).
A: Yes, as shown in this very video plus the leveraging of Preset Management Strobe Mode. See 04:00​

Q: How much does it cost? How do I order one?
A: $400 USD and drop Studio.h a line on: http://studiohsoftware.com/contact​

Bravo, Studio.h!"

Ambiente Oscuro & Distorientation -- Sound Packs for Modal Craft Synth 2 0


video by Human Oversynth

"This sound pack is a collection of 64 dark ambient / SciFi presets for your Modal Craft Synth 2.0 synthesizer. Like a child waiving out the back window of the last spaceship leaving a dying planet, these sounds are at once harsh and hazy, somber and sinister, noisy and barely in tune. The patches in this sound pack will turn your Craft Synth 2.0 into device for generating deeply mysterious sound textures and unexplained alchemic tones.

Sound packs and overlays for Modal Craft Synth 2.0 and Skulpt available now from: https://www.oversynth.com"

Distorientation Model Skulpt Soundpack

"This sound pack is a collection of 64 dark ambient / SciFi presets for your Modal Sculpt synthesizer. Like an impossible memory of a dystopian future, these sounds are at once dirty, noisy, barely in tune, warm, harsh, dreamy, and nostalgic. The patches in this sound pack will make your Skulpt sound like a modular synth that was dropped in a in radioactive saltwater ocean and forgotten about for a hundred of years (but in a good way)."

Overlays / skins for Modal Skulpt and Craft Synth 2.0 -- www.oversynth.com


video by Human Oversynth

This video demonstrates how to install adhesive overlays (skins) on Modal Skulpt and Craft Synth 2.0 synthesizers. Also, a rabbit.

Overlay skins and sound packs for the Modal Skulpt & Craft 2.0, and other synthesizers can be found at https://www.oversynth.com"

orpho - GLUT UND ASCHE | VACUUM TUBE LOW PASS FILTER | NEW EURORACK MODULAR MODULE


video by HOX808

"'GLUT UND ASCHE' ist ein Doppelröhren-LOW-Pass-Filter mit einstellbarer Verzerrung der Filterresonanz. Jede Röhre verfügt über ein Differentialpotentiometer, das den Rückkopplungspfad zu der dazugehörigen Röhre spezifisch beeinflusst.

Die Schaltung basiert konsequent auf zwei Röhren und bietet echten und unverfälschten Röhrensound. Verwendet werden zwei ECF 80. Auf Transistoren, IC´s und SMD-Komponenten wurde zugunsten der Wahrhaftigkeit verzichtet.

'GLUT UND ASCHE' ist ein 'real thing' und so hört es sich auch an. Wild Entschlossen das durch den Signaleingang eingespeiste Audiomaterial drastisch und energisch zu zerrütten.

Selbstverständlich sind auch herrlich organisch anmutende Verläufe möglich, sofern man das Filter solide und gradlinig betreiben möchte."

Googlish:

"'GLUT UND ASCHE' is a double tube LOW-pass filter with adjustable distortion of the filter resonance. Each tube has a differential potentiometer that specifically influences the feedback path to the associated tube.

The circuit is consistently based on two tubes and offers real and unadulterated tube sound. Two ECF 80 are used. Transistors, ICs and SMD components have been omitted in favor of truthfulness.

'GLUT UND ASCHE' is a 'real thing' and it sounds like that. Wildly determined to drastically and energetically disrupt the audio material fed in through the signal input.

Of course, wonderfully organic gradients are also possible, provided you want to operate the filter in a solid and straightforward manner. "
