Abyss Devices - Tube distortions compared

video upload by John Schussler

"Abyss Devices makes a couple different tube-based distortions. The Saevitum is bigger, with a resonant LP/HP filter attached, and Saevicus is smaller with no (resonant) filter. Both use 12AX7 tubes and similar amp circuitry, so I was interested to see where their sounds differed or were the same.

Since the Saevicus doesn't have a resonant filter (it has as filter, but it serves mostly as a simple tone control), I focused on the distortion sounds from each module, with my main question being whether the smaller Saevicus was missing anything in that department, or whether it was just as growly as its big brother.

Input audio was a basic saw wave from a Doepfer A-111. Sequenced by Stochastic IG. Envelope by Zadar.

What if Hans Zimmer had used more ambient synths on "Time" (Inception Soundtrack)

video upload by NGC0 Music

"Hans Zimmer is one of my biggest inspirations in Music, and Inception is one of my favorite movies of all time, so I've always wanted to reproduce the soundtracks of this movie. Here I "cheated" a bit, by using the original soundtrack, and pitching it down, making it slower and lower-pitched, before I started adding synthesizer layers on it. I've also processed the original sample to add a lot of ambience.

The synth I've used is the DSI OB-6, and these patches I used are all standard patches, which are among the reasons why I've bought this synth, definitely one of the best poly synths ever made"

Stranger Things - Kids (Sequential Take 5 Cover)

video upload by Elemnt

"Got the Sequential Take 5 recently to replace one of my synths, so far it does not disappoint!!

Covering the Stranger Things song “Kids” using the Take 5 only. No outboard EQ or FX added. All you hear is directly recorded from the Take 5. A great synth for sure! Well done Dave Smith on your last synth, like always (RIP 🙏)"

"There’s nothing better than vintage synths and 80’s music. I was going for an 80’s film horror/sci-fi sound. The prophet is mainly driving the song with the minimoog playing bass."

Modular Synthesizer Sci-fi Drone

video upload by Ultra-Vox Studios

"Standing on the ground of our synth forefathers. Here I’ve patched my 5U/MU Modular synthesizer wall to create a dreamy sci-fi drone. It wasn’t exactly what I had in mind but like a lot of times you get much better results than you anticipate when patching these behemoths. It sounds like I’m floating in space."

This one was spotted and sent in via Soviet Space Child.

"I'm so pleased to demo this cool new gadget from @BrandNewNoise. They are a small company located in Dallas, TX. I met the owner and he is a really cool guy. BTW, they did not give me this item for free or offer discounts, I paid for it with my own money. I think hours of fun are lurking inside this little box.

4th Run of Colorful MOE Analog Chorus 60 - Old Sound, New Flavors

You can find demos in previous posts here.

via Made On Earth:

"Only 35 units will be made

20 x black
5x pink
5 x gray
5x Yellow

Our Analog Chorus 60 perfectly recreates the distinctive, thick and lush spatial effect that up until now was locked inside a few Japanese synths from the previous century. Like many who have heard the original, we wondered how would this gorgeous effect sound on other instruments, Once we heard the results it was clear. So we began our mission to separate this particular chorus section and have it breathe on its own.

We’ve painstakingly matched the schematics to a modern more stable and silent power supply, sourced and tested rare components used on the original and understood what makes this circuit design stand out.

On top of that, we’ve extended its functionality beyond the original and given it dedicated pots for width control, rate, depth, and external modulation input. To top it off, we’ve given our unit a gain input stage that works great with any type of instrument."
