Future Retro is Back in Business

video upload by FutureRetroSynths

"Future Retro is back! New team including old faces. New product, re-releases and new product all forthcoming. Stay tuned."

And: "Website is currently down but we are working to repair this. We should be shipping Vectra synthesizers by December. Transient, Trax, and Midi Buss forthcoming. New team, big plans, new products and re-releases. Stay tuned!

Jered is currently taking some time away. He is no longer involved in the day to day. After 25 years plus, he needed a break. He is still amongst us in our design team and will hopefully always be a part of FR. An expanded team has taken over to spread out the necessary tasks amongst a small number of professional people. We have big plans but we aren't changing the Future Retro brand or character in any way.

Also, we are currently trying to fix our website and set up emails. Jered will still have an email at future retro but we are working diligently to fix some issues on that end. Please be patient with us, we aren't finished yet!"

"This portable, Italian made all-analog audio path dual oscillator synth has a multimode filter, a 2 octave keyboard, arpeggiator and step sequencer. It's battery powered and great if you want that real analog sound on the go. This one is in mint condition and had never been taken out of the box when it was brought in. We took it out the first time just for photos and to test it. Comes with all original packaging and accessories."

2xVCA Exploration of Audio Rates Amplitude Modulation

video upload by gstormelectro

"Audio + Video by G-Storm Electro c. 2022

Want to spice up your ordinary analog VCOs?
In my previous VCA Tips and Tricks video I showed you how to do audio rate modulation using a VCA. It's basically a tremolo, only the control signal is another audio signal.
The result ends up sounding similar to ring mod or FM.
Today I'll show you exactly how to patch it up. And explore the cornucopia of interesting AM sounds using various input and control signals possible using a VCA.

Cherry Audio Sines: A Detailed Review and Tutorial

video upload by CatSynth TV

"We take a detailed look at Sines, a new synthesizer from Cherry Audio that focuses on building up complex sounds from that simplest of signals, the sine wave. It has four sinusoidal oscillators that can be shaped via multiple functions like width, wavefolding, and overdrive, and combined via mixing and cross modulation. Building up complex sounds from simple sources is the foundation of FM synthesis as well as so-called West Coast synthesis.

To find out more about Sines, please visit https://cherryaudio.com/products/sines

Metunar Live Set - Fresh Paint - Track 02

video upload by Metunar

"Second track of my Modular Synthesizer Live Set from 2022.

Project = Fresh Paint
Song = Track 02
Stile = Some kind of Electro.
Setup = The Dave Rossum sampler Assimil8or plays 8 loops with different length. In the modular i mix these loops live together and add some effects. With the Assimil8or it’s also possible to pitch the hole track down. I can even slow it down to zero speed, which i do at the end of the jam.
This set can also be used with a quadrophonic PA.
