ANILOG Analog Morphing Synthesizer App - Demo song

video upload by Sequence Mediaworks

"Demo song for the new ANILOG Analog Morphing Synthesizer for iPad and iPhone! A rich multitimbral sequence showing off the range and versatility of the new ANILOG v1.1 version. The built in sonic shaping, reverb chamber, and per-track effects allow you to create and share songs on the go. We can't wait to hear what you to do with it!

This audio is taken straight from the app (with a tiny bit of EQ). All sounds are generated in realtime using the unique 3-oscillator additive signal path --- no samples are used at all! Each instrument does not have filters, but instead relies on a shaping envelope. Velocity affects the shape envelope, and the sequencer allows for pitch bending and vibrato for extra expressiveness."

cicadidae | ambient/drone music with modular synthesizer

video upload by M Hob

"Cicadas are coming back this year and their song blends more and more each day with the landscape. I wanted to compose something which evoked my feeling when I listen to these wonderful insects buzzing away late on the afternoon. Most of my music is completely improvised (often building from how a certain patch performs or over randomized sequences) but for this track I wanted to try something different: composing a more rigid structure around which I could play.

Before I started this channel most of my music playing was strictly interpretational (playing from sheet music). I feel confident enough now that having something to guide me will do just that: guide, not impose strict guidelines.

The track was performed on the Monsterdrone using VCV Rack as a tuning guide (while playing with the pitch knobs) as a mixer through NYSTHI's Vector Mixer. I programmed the Crow to create a Lorenz attractor which controlled the position on the Vector Mixer, creating the orbiting feeling of the 4 voices on Monsterdrone. This enabled me to react and interact with the evolution of the song by choosing at what moments the song would intentionally evolve. The Minibrute added a deeper droning voice, controlled by the 3 position parameter on the Lorenz attractor. This voiced was shaped by a long looping envelope which hopefully adds a subtle rhythmic wave to the track."

Behringer Wasp Deluxe - Just The Jams

"A few months ago I reviewed Behringer's lovely recreation of the classic Wasp synthesiser. As with all my reviews, I made a bunch of music with the synth to show it off in context.
These pieces of music, hopefully demonstrate the Wasp's characterful sound and versatility by genre hopping from Drum & Bass to Euro - Pop and beyond."

"Gnarly, punchy and rude. But if you treat it nicely, the Wasp can really mellow out and be a good all-rounder."
