12 05 21 KESAKO x0x for Serge - It's finally ready!
videos uploaded by batchas
"I'll make a video soon showing what the KESAKO x0x for Serge can and how it's done.
The x0x heart board made by openmusiclabs is simply plugged onto the panel board.
Schematics and PCB will be open-source, as well as 4U panels for LW and R*S formats."
Befaco Noise Plethora Demos by Friendly Noise
Playlist:
1. “Befaco Noise Plethora - Azatoth’s flutes” by Friendly Noise
This is my first video with the Befaco Noise Plethora, a triple digital noise generator with also three analog multimode filters, offering plenty of flexibility to shape the sound.
Modules: Befaco Noise Plethora, Befaco Rampage, SSF Vortices, Intellijel Quadrax, Intellijel Planar, Xaoc Kamieniec, Xaoc Tallin, Qu-bit Data Bender.
+
Strymon Nightsky reverb
2. “Noise Plethora 02 - Sequencing Programs” by Friendly Noise
The programs of Noise Plethora can be sequenced manually or using the CV inputs for each channel. That greatly adds to the sonic variations of the module.
Modules: Befaco Noise Plethora, Befaco Rampage, IOLabs Flux, SSF Vortices, Intellijel Quadrax.
+
Strymon Nightsky reverb
3. “Noise Plethora 3 - Drum Kits” by Friendly Noise
Because Noise Plethora is a triple noise generator, you can set up some drum kits using only this module. Clever use of modulation for the sound parameters, filter settings and (external) envelope shapes can results in many different sounds from just only one Noise plethora “drum kit”. :-)
Patch notes are included in the video.
Modules: Befaco Noise Plethora, IOLabs Flux, SSF Vortices, Intellijel Quadrax, Xaoc Tallin, QU-bit Data Bender.
+
Strymon Nightsky reverb
4. “Noise Plethora 4 - A Noise Landscape” by Friendly Noise
A live performance and tour de force using the third noise generator of Befaco Noise Plethora as the only sound source.
Patch notes are included in the video.
Modules: Befaco Noise Plethora, Befaco Percall, Befaco Rampage, Befaco Burst, IOLabs Flux, SSF Vortices, Xaoc Kamieniec, Xaoc Tallin, QU-bit Data Bender, Schlappi Engineering 100 Grit, Schlappi Engineering, Angle Grinder.
+
Strymon Nightsky reverb
5. “Noise Plethora 5 - Beautiful Noises” by Friendly Noise
A live performance using Befaco Noise Plethora as the only sound source.
Modules: Befaco Noise Plethora, Befaco Percall, Befaco Rampage, Befaco Burst, IOLabs Flux, SSF Vortices, Xaoc Kamieniec, Xaoc Tallin, QU-bit Data Bender, Schlappi Engineering 100 Grit, Schlappi Engineering Angle Grinder, Intellijel Quadrax, Intellijel Planar 2.
+
Strymon Nightsky reverb
6. “Noise Plethora 6 - Singing Noises” by Friendly Noise
Using an external keyboard to play melodies and sequences with Befaco Noise Plethora.
Patch Notes are included in the video.

Synthmas '21 w/ Synthfluencer
Door #6: Lasst uns froh und munter sein (Let us be happy and cheerful) - Synthmas '21
video upload by Synthfluencer
"The gear:
This song is played on the Casio CZ-5000 digital synthesizer. With the CZ series Casio stepped into the professional music market after getting famous with the VL-1, PT-1 and other casual instruments. All CZ synths used a synthesis technology called phase distortion. Some preferred PD before FM synthesis, since it can create bell-like sounds as well as warm analog sounding pads. Even though missing velocity and aftertouch as built in the CZ-1, the CZ-5000 was the second best equipped synth of the family. The two DCOs are capable of playing 8 different wave forms, can be ring modulated and formed by 3 envelopes for each DCO (DCA = VCA, DCW = VCF, DCO = VCO). The envelopes can have up to 8 stages what gives huge possibilities for sound design. Key split, layer sounds, a sequencer - not really easy to operate but unique in the price range at the time - and a really good sounding chorus made the CZ-5000 a dream synth for many electronic music enthusiasts.
Because operating the internal sequencer is a fiddly job I used a Korg-SQD1 for sequencing the song. The simple multi track sequencer was very popular in the 80s Detroit techno scene.

Door #5: Morgen, Kinder, wird’s was geben (Tomorrow, Children, Something Will Be) - Synthmas '21
video upload by Synthfluencer
The song:
Originally named "Die Weihnachtsfreude" (The Joy of Christmas) the song occured first in the 18th century. It describes the childrens thrill of anticipation awaiting Christmas Eve.
The gear:
For this song I used the Yamaha MODX. The modern digital synth is basically using two synthesis engines: AWM2 is a sample based engine while the FM part is an enhanced version of legendary DX-7 engine that shaped 80s pop fundamentally. As the AWM2 synthesis allows an instrumentation in any thinkable fashion, the song's version presented here makes use of original DX-7 factory patches only. That gives the desired retro touch.
FM synthesis was a giant leap in synth architecture. Not only that digital synthesis was available for a broad customer base; the DX-7 put cutting edge expression technologys into play like breath control and MIDI and made upper class features like after touch available for the ordinary synthesist. The (then) unique e-piano patch defined a new standard and became a mandatory element of 80s synth ballads. The possibility of adding a (digital) filter and effects to the FM engine's sounds makes the MODX kind of a 'super DX7'. Hence the name MOreDX?

Door #4: Es ist für uns eine Zeit angekommen (Unto us a time has come) - Synthmas '21
"The song:
The melody came up in the 19th century as a traditional Swiss star boys' singers Christmas carol. From it's origin, the Wiggertal in the Canton of Lucerne it found it's way to Germany. While first sung with the original lyrics, under the reign of the Nazis a secular version was created. Like years later the communist GDR regime, the Nazis tried to remove the christian aspects from Christmas - our celebration of commerce we all love so much today. Nevertheless, this version is the most common used for the song today.
The gear:
The song is played by a Roland JV-1010. Sometimes derided as a "ROMpler", this multi-timbral digital synth is equipped - like it's bigger brother the JV-1080 - with many legendary sounds of Roland's 80s flagship D-series (10/20/50). Like Roland D-synths the JV-1010 creates it's sounds using LA-Synthesis. Therefore calling it "ROMpler" is simply wrong. LA-Synthesis was Roland's bold move to finally break the success of Yamaha's FM-Synthesis intruduced in early 80s with the legendary DX-7. The idea behind LA-Synthesis is that real instrument sounds (back then synths aimed most notably to imitate real instruments) are recognized by the very first parts of a sound. So LA or linear arythmethic synthesis using very short samples at the beginning of a sound continued with subtractive synthesis.
For this song I only used factory presets. I think the JV-1010/1080 has a wonderful warm sound. A Roland D-10 was my very first synth that broke a few years ago and I always thought about replacing it by another one or a D-50. But the JV-1010 turned out to be much more than a makeshift. Love it!

A Lonely Mind- A sequential OB-6 Bladerunner inspired demo
video upload by The Present Sound
"On vacation I thought a lot about my music. I like synthwave a lot, but one of my dreams is to hear my music in the cinema one day. I always feel so inspired when I hear music by Hans Zimmer. This is a serie consisting out of music using my Ob6 and combining it with some of my favorite movies."
The Modular Journey - Detailed Breakdown of my "Perfect" 5U Modular System
video upload by alternatingbitmusic
"Several people have asked about my setup, and while I may have not explained my modular philosophy as much as I wanted to in this video, I feel my music covers that area and my module decisions reflect my output."
Ciat-Lonbarde Sidrax + Cocoquantus: Ambient Dream Team
video upload by Matt Lowery
"An ambient melody I noodled around with from an unpatched Sidrax (an instrument by Ciat-Lonbarde). The sidrax is playing into a Cocoquantus, and I feel like this combo is the ambient dream team.
From there, the chain is Bitmap 2, Tensor, and Ultrasheer."

How the VECTOR SYNTH works // review demo & walkthrough
video upload by Starsky Carr
"A demo, review and deep dive into the unique VECTOR from Vector Synth. It's got all the modules you might expect or be familiar with, like oscillators, filters, envelopes etc but its all put together in a really interesting way. Controlled via the touchscreen you move from corner to corner, each having essentially their own timbre. Very cool...
Hopefully after watching this you'll understands the structure and how to start to create your own tones or manipulate the presets in a meaningful way.. Otherwise there's nothing wrong with just wiggling stuff... you'll find loads of tones :)"
