"Classic wavetable synth with desirable rev A specs. Well known as one of the best sounding synth modules ever made. It has just returned from a service overhaul by specialist and is now ready for another life in your studio."

"Rainy Sunday afternoon at home. I decided to make a bit of melodic techno with my SE-02. Piano and strings are from Spitfire Audio Labs.

Hope you like it!"

Sonicware Liven Bass & Beats Prototype Demo 1 - Big Wubs


video upload by ChrisLody

"So here's my first quick jam made using the new Sonicware Bass & Beats. This arrived on Tuesday and I've been tasked with creating wavetables and preset sounds for it which is what you're hearing here. There's a lot to learn that I have yet to look at, plus from what I can gather the text on the silk isn't final yet so I think this is a prototype.

The monophonic bass engine of the B&B features dual wavetable oscillators, a sub oscillator and a noise source. The structure is semi modular with velocity, 2 assignable knobs, 2 LFO's and 3 ADSR envelopes that can be freely assigned. It's possible to have LFO's affect each others speed for example. User wavetable import is possible and it uses the same format as the Serum VST, 256x 2048 samples so nice and high in quality. There is a filter with low-pass, high-pass and band-pass modes that has overdrive, plus waveshaping modes which can all be controlled using the modulation sources.

I'm sure the drum part of the B&B is also very powerful but I've not had much chance to learn how to use that yet 😄"

11 27 21 Buchla Modular System


vides by batchas

"2 x KESAKO „Player & Reverb“ sent to 288v for effect processing. No filtering. 288v trig outs are controlling 1979 MSV and Buchla 261e.
No filtering, no EQ or post-processing.
KESAKO „Player & Reverb“ is an adaptation for the Buchla system of Radio Music (Music Thing)."

"... SE-3X, Ableton Live and 4 Hands staying out of each other's way. Maestro @kyleksq (Insta) made it hauntingly beautiful, before and after I, MSR, boxed up the synth, with his continuous controller wizardry and processing alchemy. Tell it throughout the land: this is HIS sequence! ;) A bit of additional audio layering in iMovie, by yours truly, perfected the Gumbo: think intro, outro and speaker hugging #boomstar4075 sub mainly throughout.

Enjoy,

Hypnotic Meditative Ambient Improvisation (System 8, Grandmother, Hydrasynth, Prophet 08, Nord, X3)


video upload by Denis Polic

"There are some top YouTube artists like State Azure or Martin Stürzer that I've heard a lot lately, true masters of long ambient tracks. So I decided to try to do something like this. The track is completely improvised, just closed my eyes and let it flow and really enjoyed the session.

Hope you would enjoy the hearing, cheers and peace on Earth !!!"

Alias Zone: Shipwrecked (performed by Chris Meyer of Learning Modular)


video upload by Learning Modular

"This piece was created for the August 7 edition of Franck Martin's Live From the Studio [below], which includes an interview with Chris along with the premiere of this piece. It was also shown as the opening performance in the Chill Out Room at Knobcon 2021.

This piece was inspired by the actual Edro III shipwreck. Instruments Chris used include The Monster (his studio modular synth), the Vector Synth, Waldorf Iridium, and SoundIron Circle Bells."

After Later Audio Talks Dirty Laundry and Developing Eurorack Modules


video upload by Patchwerks Seattle

"In this video Nick Bigelow of Patchwerks sits down with Lenny Helton of After Later Audio to discuss Eurorack development and one of their newest modules, Dirty Laundry.

Dirty Laundry is a destructive harmonic generator. The FOLD side can function as a standard Buchla-inspired wave folder but then extend into chaos when you engage the “pre-fold” PRESS section. The Press section creates all kinds of initial harmonics that really give the Fold section something to sink its teeth into. This results in a nice range of controlled harmonics from simple fold activity to anarchy.

The Press and Fold sections can function either as two parallel sections or as single serial unit. There are crossfaders between the sections and at the end of chain to help with blending between these two distinct sections. In development I mainly use it as a serial unit as I think it’s most fun that way. But I found the need to control the mixes to get what I was after, so I added some extra patch points to make it parallel capable.

The module will work well with all waveforms (speech is fun) but I often stick with sine and triangle waves as I find them the most pleasing starting point. While most folders won’t work well with square waves, the RES/DRIVE circuit will cause some rippling and make the FOLD much more interesting.

Waldorf M Gets a MicrowaveII/XT Style Digital Filter



via Waldorf

"New M firmware version with a new digital filter. Well, the last version did not last very long. There's another new M firmware update available and this one comes packed with a new digital filter (similar to the one used in the Micro Wave II). Beside the new filter feature the new firmware also comes with bug fixes and if you missed it of course with the great new features from the last update: Fast loading of presets, "Ghost in the machine" randomize feature for instant new presets or as an inspiration source."
via the Release notes:

"Technically speaking, this is an adaptation of Dattaro-Chamberlin SVF (which is similar to MWII implementation of LP12/BP12/HP12 VCF modes).

However, it is NOT a direct clone of such MWII filters into M.

So, what we have here as DigiVCF. This is actually LP/BP/HP SVF with 12 dB / oct slope, with resonance, and without self-oscillation. It stays directly between Mixer output and analog VCF, i.e. this is the last digital element of M's sound path. It can be enabled/disabled, and cutoff frequency could be modulated through one modulator. On the full resonance, it's attenuate a signal at 12 dB, and with an ASIC bug enabled, it could be overdriven up to clipping. Without ASIC bug it should not be overdriven. The cutoff is within the range 10Hz - 10kHz. This was made intentionally meaning to fit into the Classic OSC Mode performance. However, it passed the M character well. This is an experimental, non-planned feature, but allows to advance the sonic possibilities of the M a bit more.

It could be found on the MIX section of UI, pages 4 and 5. The graphics were not implemented in this release. Honestly, I need feedback about this feature generally.

FW : Host 1.06 RC
- fixed the voice stealing bug in Multi-Mode (broken round-robin).
- fixed mono retrig allocator mode.
- fixed mono legato allocator mode, changed to duophonic legato (allows trill, but does not track more than one previously pressed key)
- fixed bug with loading sound if it contains two different user wavetables.
- added DigiVCF sound parameters.
- added DigiVCF UI pages.
- added DigiVCF support for existing patches."
