Korg Volca FM2 - Friday Fun Synth Jam with Delta CEP A and friends
video upload by sonicstate
"We got sent the new @Korg Volca FM2 , the original which we reviewed previously, but now has 6 voices instead of a mere 3, velocity response over MIDI (Yay!), 64 on board presets and Chorus and Reverb Effects as well as some other improvements -and the Radikal Technologies Delta CEP A - a beast of a digital synth, plus the good ol' Zoom MS70-CDR
Nick takes a look at the FM2, adds reverb and noodles away - enjoy!"

07 28 22 Serge Paperface '78 - Γtude 01
video upload by batchas
"This is a patch with the Serge Paperface ’78. The Sequential Switch (CGS boards) in the Scrotum Lab panel is also in use. As well as a Penrose Quantizer.
1 main sequence from TKB + 1 sequence from Sequential Switch for transposition mixed together and sent to a Quantizer. The ouput of the Quantizer is sent to the Dual Analog Shift Register.
Dual Analog Shift Register outputs go to 4 oscillators. 4 x NTO and 2 x PCO.
The oscillators are sent to filters. Filters are modulated.
The outputs of the 2 Serge mixers are mixed and recorded on one stereo track.
External reverb and delay are added to the stereo track."

Generative music algorithm plays Roland MC-707
video upload by Richard Horsman
"This new algorithm generates midi note, volume and controller data on 8 channels, one for each Roland MC-707 track. Note events occur when circles traverse the 3 horizontal lines. Volume changes occur when circles are destroyed in the black hole. Controller data and additional note events are generated by tracking the last notes played on some of the channels. Every aspect of the algorithm is probabilistic.
Designed and coded by Tony Horsman (my Dad)"
And one from Sep 12, 2021:
MidiPathFollower - An experiment in generative music creation (MC-101 and Eurorack)
"The artwork that I'm currently working on takes your eyes on a journey. My Dad suggested that the journey be travelled by a 'playhead' that makes sound/music when it hits 'notes'. This is the outcome. As always, it's a work in progress. Playheads work their way around a path/map, making decisions in real time as to which way to turn. When all notes have been reached a new map is drawn. The code that I wrote in Processing is running on a Raspberry Pi 4 with a 720x720 Hyperpixel Square LCD attached. It's generating the visuals and the MIDI data that's being sent to my Roland MC-101 for the guitar sounds then on to some effects in my modular rack."

6Hr Challenge - Write a Track using only OB6 Programmed sounds. #sequential #OB6 #retro #synthwave
video upload by Orano Music
"This Track was done in 6 hours, set myself a challenge to write something fresh, but retro, went with the Boom Box Era and had some great fun with this.
Each and every melodic sound is from the Sequential OB6, each sound Programmed from Init patch, recorded into Ableton Live one by one, and mixed in Ableton too.
Drums are a mixture of samples imported into Ableton Drum Rack."
Korg Minilogue XD - Dry/Raw Demo
video upload by Eyezer Productionz Sound Design
"A dry/raw demo of the Korg Minilogue XD. No FX used at all, just the raw sound coming out of the synth itself. I apologize for the bad lightning and for the dust on the equipment. My current setup is not ideal for synth demos but I hope I will be able to move next year.
Equipment & Software used:
Korg Minilogue XD Module (Synth)
Arturia Keylab 61 MkII (Midi controller keyboard)
Focusrite Scarlett 18i8 (Audio interface)
Canon EOS M50 (Video camera)
FL Studio 20 (DAW)
Vegas Pro 16 (Editing & syncing audio)
0:00 Sawtooth primarily, playing around with the filter a bit
4:00 Pulse Width Modulation, Jupiter-8 kind of sounds"
Waldorf Sanctioned MicroQ Emulator Could be Coming - Access Virus TI Emulation on Hold
This one was sent in anonynmously.
See this post on the Motorola DSP56300 project for reference, as well as this post on the Access Virus.
The above reads:
"So yeah, we have some news regarding the state of the Waldorf microQUpdate via the comments:
We are in contact with Waldorf, I visited them some weeks ago and held a short presentation and presented a command line version of the microQ in action. And in principle, they are interested in our tech π
I asked today and they gave allowance to mention this to you so you are aware why it got a bit silent over here π
It should be noted that we do not have any kind of written agreement yet, so all of this may not happen at all, but we're working on it. No further development has taken place since I visited them because this might become paid work Therefore, I have to ask for patience. If/when there will be a beta on this Discord is out of our hands and is part of the negotiation. Obviously, I mentioned this Discord server with 3000+ members and people willing to beta test. Also, the viral advantage that this Discord provides
Future updates on the status of the microQ emulation"
There is a playlist with the emulator playing the microQ demos online:
And an update on the Access Virus TI emulator (note holding off until the TI is out of production is commendable):
Virus TI technical info / statement
20. APRIL 2022 / DSP56300
We have updated our Technical Info page with some insights about how the multi-DSP setup on the Virus TI works. Also, it has a useful tip for hardware TI owners to maximize voice count in Multi Mode / Sequencer Mode, enjoy! π
As questions are imminent, a statement regarding Virus TI emulation:
Virus TI emulation development is done in a private fork of the public project. We do this with the goal to have the whole line of Virus synthesizers emulated, to improve the accuracy and feature set of the emulation in general, to learn about the internal architecture as a preparation for other future synthesizers and of course, because it is a lot of fun!
However, currently we do not have plans to release a version of the emulator that supports the Virus TI, TI2 or Snow as this generation of synthesizers is still being sold. We do not want to negatively impact current or future sales of Kemper GmbH or affiliates, it is exactly the opposite. We appreciate the achievements of Access Music / Kemper and created Virus B & C emulators as an appreciation and to preserve these great synthesizers in a digital form."
Update: The following is demo comparing the Virus C emulator with a Virus TI.
Access Virus TI VS DSP56300 Emulator (With Access Virus C ROM)
video upload by Eyezer Productionz Sound Design
"A VST beta is finally available for the DSP56300 emulator, which is an emulator that emulates the Motorola DSP chip(s) used in the Virus synths. You can load ROM files from the Virus B or C into this emulator (just Google Access Virus ROM and you should be able to find the ROM files), which then allows you to play the factory patches from the Virus B or C. The sound is pretty much 99.99% accurate.
I use the Virus TI to give you an idea of how accurate this emulator sounds. I would even say that the emulator sounds better on certain patches. Some patches are pretty much identical to the TI, while some sounds noticeably different. This is of course nothing new, many people claim that the Virus B and C sounds better (or different is perhaps a better term?) than the TI. I will have to do a more in-depth comparison sometime.
The Virus TI is connected via analog outs to my Focusrite Scarlett 18i8 3rd Gen (front inputs).
