Sequential Take 5 - FM Tones Sound Bank
video upload by Polydata
"A sound pack of 2 banks totaling 32 patches with sequences and effects for the awesome sounding Take 5 analog synthesizer. All of these patches use Oscillator 2 as an audio rate modulation source. FM on this synth is a big part of what makes it exciting for me and I hope these patches help you see it in a fresh way.

polydata.bigcartel.com
After payment, you will receive the SysEx file in your email within 24 hours. Sounds load into Banks 3 & 4 by default. Recorded completely dry with no external effects or processing. All patches have been tuned to compensate the natural pitch drift of exponential FM, other than the obviously atonal percussion sounds.

☄️The Surface of Jupiter๐ ~ OB6 | Clouds | Magneto | CXM 1978
video upload by Postmodern Machine
"Hey ๐ฟ
A month or so ago I visited a friend's farm and took some shots that I really loved with the Fuji X-T30. I decided to pair these with an outdoor ambient experiment featuring the looping mode on the Strymon Magneto ๐ง
The Sequential OB-6 is fed into the Monsoon (Mutable Clouds Copy) for a bit of texture, then into the Strymon Magneto in sound-on-sound looper mode. The dry signal is fairly low and the loop is quite long (I believe more than 30 seconds). The loop is slowly decaying and degrading. It's such a slow degradation that my previous performance is a bed under the final performance when it starts. I was going for something lazy, hazy, and noisy.
For some polish, the CXM 1978 is run in an effects loop from the modular on a static and drifty setting. It was a joy to perform this. I just had to be careful not to play any dissonant notes which would then be looped indefinitely ๐คฏ
I performed and filmed the jam on my back porch. I have been loving setting up outside and creating with the sounds of nature around me๐ฑ

Modal Electronics Releases ARGON8 Firmware v3

ARGON8 – Factory Bank v3 Patches
"Completing the ARGON8 v3 Firmware Update, the new factory Patch Preset Sounds take huge advantage of the new Vintage and Oscillator Freerun features, the new filters and the exciting new Effects algorithms."
And the press release:
Modal Electronics ARGON8 Firmware v3 supercharges popular Wavetable Synthesisers
– Empowering music producers, musicians and sound designers' creativity with four new filter types, 15 brand new effects and a wealth of workflow enhancements and improvements –
Bristol, UK - 9 September 2022. Modal Electronics, a leading global synthesiser manufacturer, has just released an all-new firmware update for their critically-acclaimed feature-packed ARGON-Series synthesisers. Never content with a static approach to product development, ARGON-Series firmware v3 redefines the sound and functionality of Modal Electronics’ advanced Wavetable synths and adds a raft of new forward-thinking features that guarantee to supercharge users’ creative output like never before.
New in Firmware v3
The brand-new Vintage parameter helps to alter the organic fabric of the wavetable textures by emulating the behaviour of vintage synths’ technical imperfections, where certain tuning and other variations were introduced into the sound generation. Oscillator Free Run is another new feature known from analogue synthesisers and, when activated, adds to the sonic flexibility of ARGON8. ‘Classic’ Synth sounds are so much more alive with the vintage and free run parameters ensuring every key press is slightly different than the one before.
Firmware v3 adds four new filter types, incl. 4-Pole Ladder Filter, a 1-Pole Ladder Hybrid, a resonant Phaser Ladder Filter and a new 2-Pole Sallen-Key Filter. All new filters come with Pre-Filter drive, and the integrated polesweeping allows seamless morphing through the audio spectrum. The Ladder filter unlocks even more classic synth tones as well as expanding ARGONs experimental capabilities with the more complex filter outputs and the Sallen-Key filter brings a whole new level and character to gnarly, driven sounds, especially when paired with the Drive FX.
Additionally, ARGON8 Firmware v3 includes 15 new powerful effects. Harnessing our flexible processing distribution system, some of the new additions harnessing the power of two effects slots for more sonic power and depth. The V2 Reverb is great for adding a little bit of space to a sound, huge near-infinite reverbs and everything in-between. The new Chorus v2 was brought from our successful COBALT5S and COBALT8 synths and injects vintage Chorus tones to ARGON8. Creative sound gourmets will also enjoy the new Phaser v2, Compressor, Three-Band EQ, Unisoniser, Utility and additional Drive effects, giving enough options to give custom patch creations a final, production-ready touch
With the new firmware, the programmable Arpeggiator receives new Arp Directions to inspire musicians and producers. Firmware v3 also improves the capabilities of the OLED display, the Audio In quality, the gain staging of the audio output and much more. For a full list of new Features and Improvements, we recommend the Release Notes, available on the product’s web page.
Finally, Firmware v3 launches with the addition of a dedicated new bank of 100 new factory presets to showcase Firmware v3 in action.
Firmware v3 is available as a free update via our MODALapp software.
