SUPERBOOTH22 & Site Links Update

FYI, you will find a new SUPERBOOTH22 link on the top left of the site underneath the Sequential banners. To make space for mobile devices, the POPULAR and RARE labels have been removed. You can find them on the top right under Useful Links.

Up top you should now see the following links: SUPERBOOTH22 | NEWS | UPDATES | MEMBERS | SUPPORT MATRIXSYNTH!

Remember to check the News label for non SUPERBOOTH22 news, and the UPDATES label for updates in posts.

If you go through all posts on the site daily the only label you might want to check is the Udpates label as they do not get a new post.

Com Truise: Mid-Fi Synthwave Slow-Motion Funk — A New Course From Soundfly

video upload by Soundfly

Some nice synth spotting in this one. You can find additional posts mentioning Com Truise here.

"Learn to blend nostalgic synths with driving beats and retro production techniques to create sci-fi-inspired electronic music with our newest course, Com Truise: Mid-Fi Synthwave Slow-Motion Funk, available now at http://soundfly.com/comtruise

Combining a nostalgic reverence for ‘80s drum machines and production techniques with a futuristic sensibility, Com Truise has been building intricate musical worlds that are hypermodern and yet emotionally familiar for over a decade.

In his new course with Soundfly, you’ll discover how Com Truise produces music that is both textural and driving, awash in retro drum sounds and thick clouds of synthesizers. You’ll follow along as he creates a brand new track from scratch, and opens up the sessions to some of his most popular songs, giving you a unique look at how he approaches making music. The unreleased song he builds in the course, "Dynetics," is available exclusively to Soundfly subscribers.

Over more than 30 videos, as well as readings, downloads, stems, and more, Com Truise demonstrates the techniques he uses to pull a track together, building synth patches, sampling retro drum machine sounds, and leveraging ‘80s production techniques to create music that feels both nostalgic and novel. He digs into his sources of inspiration like the sweeping retrofuturistic android astronaut narrative that’s driven many of his albums, as well as visual art, 3D renderings, and more.

Whether you’re an aspiring synthwave artist, a gearhead, or simply someone in need of inspiration and constraints for your next musical project, this in-depth course will help you add an otherworldly quality to your music. Sign up here: https://soundfly.com/courses/com-trui...

Xaoc Devices Sofia, Koszalin, Gera & Poczdam

video upload by Xaoc Devices

"Sofia is an unusual analog oscillator based on an original waveforming principle. The sound is a mixture of a warm saturated base tone and two modulating ripple elements. A wide array of control inputs coupled with separate outputs for numerous components of the sound shaping chain allows for extensive self-patching and complex animation of the final waveform. The resulting range of possible sounds is surprisingly vast, including but not limited to: vowel-like, tearing hard-sync effect, woody pings, warm and fuzzy sine-like evolving tones with a touch of bright sparkle on top. Sofia pairs very well with filters, but it also shines with just a VCA.

Xaoc Devices Koszalin

video upload by Xaoc Devices

"Koszalin is a full stereo frequency shifter (2 ins / 4 outs) offering both quasi-exponential and linear frequency change of up to +/-5kHz as well as full stereo feedback under voltage control. Frequency shifting results in linear translation of signal spectrum producing all kinds of atonal sounds. It should not be confused with frequency scaling, also known as pitch shifting. Complex phase cancellation patterns occurring with frequency shifting and deep feedback produce spectacular barber-pole effects. Koszalin offers direct control of feedback amount, feedback routing, and feedback response. It also facilitates frequency modulation of any stereo audio signal, thanks to the linear TZFM input.

Xaoc Devices Gera & Poczdam

video upload by Xaoc Devices

"Gera

Gera is a component of the Leibniz subsystem that allows masking individual bits of the digital data by the use of logical AND operation. It features 8 individual gate inputs that affect the individual bits of data, as well as 8 illuminated tact switches for manual inverting of each control input. When connected to Drezno that is processing a waveform or voltage, masking of individual bits yields various forms of quantization.

Bit processing logic in Gera is hardware based, hence there is virtually no latency, and the binary signals may change at extreme rates.

6hp, 30mm depth (including ribbon cable brackets)

Current draw:

+12v 45mA/-12v 0mA/5v 0mA

Poczdam

Poczdam is a binary data routing solution for the Xaoc Leibniz subsystem. It allows manual and remote switching between two Leibniz data sources, modifying individual bits of the data stream, and re-clocking the data with its onboard voltage controlled wideband oscillator, or with any external clock signal. Poczdam is particularly useful with complex Leibniz setups that need to reconfigure the data flow between multiple modules. However, it can also be employed in small creative patches, e.g. for waveform splicing, disrupting rhythmic loops or generating digital chaos.
