The Sound of a Black Hole, Slowed w/ Reverb | Sound Recipes #32

video upload by Reverb

"What does a black hole sound like? NASA recently released the audio of the black hole at the center of the Perseus galaxy cluster. We slowed it down and added a ton of ambience for a haunting effect that sounds like the start of an alien invasion."

NASA's video follows. Read the description for what you are hearing.

Data Sonification: Black Hole at the Center of the Perseus Galaxy Cluster (X-ray)

video upload by NASA's Marshall Space Flight Center

"Since 2003, the black hole at the center of the Perseus galaxy cluster has been associated with sound. This is because astronomers discovered that pressure waves sent out by the black hole caused ripples in the cluster's hot gas that could be translated into a note — one that humans cannot hear some 57 octaves below middle C. Now a new sonification brings more notes to this black hole sound machine. This new sonification — that is, the translation of astronomical data into sound — is being released for NASA's Black Hole Week this year.

In some ways, this sonification is unlike any other done before (1, 2, 3, 4) because it revisits the actual sound waves discovered in data from NASA's Chandra X-ray Observatory. The popular misconception that there is no sound in space originates with the fact that most of space is essentially a vacuum, providing no medium for sound waves to propagate through. A galaxy cluster, on the other hand, has copious amounts of gas that envelop the hundreds or even thousands of galaxies within it, providing a medium for the sound waves to travel.

In this new sonification of Perseus, the sound waves astronomers previously identified were extracted and made audible for the first time. The sound waves were extracted in radial directions, that is, outwards from the center. The signals were then resynthesized into the range of human hearing by scaling them upward by 57 and 58 octaves above their true pitch. Another way to put this is that they are being heard 144 quadrillion and 288 quadrillion times higher than their original frequency. (A quadrillion is 1,000,000,000,000,000.) The radar-like scan around the image allows you to hear waves emitted in different directions. In the visual image of these data, blue and purple both show X-ray data captured by Chandra.

„last piece“ with this system | modular synthesizer | ambient music

"The last piece of music with this system.

The play was actually intended for the Modular World Event, but changed my mind. Here is the last piece with a system that has accompanied me almost unchanged for the past 5 years.
Time has a change."

Lowdown Bass Synthesizer | Cherry Audio

video upload by Cherry Audio

"Cherry Audio is celebrating International Synth Day 2022 with the release of the Lowdown Bass Synthesizer, based on the most renowned dual-oscillator bass pedal synth ever made. This outrageously fun and funky plugin instrument recreates the room-rattling sounds heard on countless prog-rock and new wave tracks in the 70s and 80s, and it hits the ground running at a rock-bottom price of only $25.

To create Cherry Audio's Lowdown, award-winning synth designer and DSP legend Mark Barton carefully analyzed the original's synthesis circuits and precisely modeled them to provide a massive virtual bass experience like no other. But we didn't stop at the sound! Lowdown's unique interface reproduces the experience with a lovingly rendered and animated foot pedal "keyboard" and the ability for users to select from 14 under-the-pedals floor surfaces. Over 40 outstanding presets and unlimited user preset storage are provided, and Lowdown supports full MIDI and DAW automation control.

Cherry Audio is thrilled with the results of this fun and easy-to-use earth-moving bass experience, and we hope users love it as much as we do. We're introducing it at the unthinkably low-down price of only $25 ($39 list).

Lowdown Bass Synthesizer is now available at cherryaudio.com and authorized resellers worldwide for Windows and macOS, in AU, VST, VST3, AAX, and standalone formats, with a 30-day demo."

Hardware Jams Weekend Challenge: Least Used Gear

"Novation X-Station 49
I pulled out my trusty Novation X-Station which used to be my go-to synth many years ago (started with the X-25 model and a backpack, portable studio), but haven't had time for it in years (maybe a #FFS vid but no music) - nice to get it out again. :-) A great MIDI/VST controller, USB audio interface, and VA synth.

Also included: Dreadbox Erebus v2, Boss RC-505, Roland TR-8s, Arturia
Keystep Pro, Boss M10MX Mixer"
