Siren Is A Chord Synthesizer From Another Dimension

video upload by EZBOT

"Siren is a multi-oscillator drone generator by an anonymous developer. We go deep into the drone world and melt our brains on the beauty of chordal dissonance.

[Update: "Siren will be back soon.. the developer assured me they are making another batch. I will make a community post when they are back in stock."]

Siren is a digital stereo module packing 21 oscillators and 23 LFOs to generate lush drones. Macro controls set their respective pitch, waveform, and amplitude. Siren is not meant to be the tool you reach for when wanting to write explicit chord progressions and harmonies. Instead, the few provided macro controls make a wide parameter space accessible and fun to explore. Find sweet spots of your liking by the turn of a knob and add subtle modulation to find new musical ideas and progressions. Use rhythmically related control voltages to explore a vast world of weird musical progressions that fall between the cracks of the discrete nature of music theory."

Yamaha SY35 FM/AWM Synthesizer - Part 2 - Overview

video upload by Runningonair

Yamaha SY35 FM/AWM Synthesizer Runningonair posts

"In this video I take an overview and run through the functions of the Yamaha SY35 synthesizer.

I also created an accompanying track, which just uses sounds from the SY35 (plus a vocal sample). The majority of effects are from the SY35 too. I have added compression and EQ, as well as doing a basic mastering job.

Let me know what you think of the synth in comments. I've been pleasantly surprised by it! I'll get into programming in the next video.

DSP56300 MicroQ Emulator Update

microq testconsole (mirror) video upload by Intelligence Services

This one was is in via Soviet Space Child.

You might remember the upcoming DSP56300 MicroQ Emulator posted here. It appears they are at an impasse. Read the image to the left, also posted on their site.

"Having said that, this video shows the current state of the Waldorf microQ emulator in action.

As we do not only emulate the DSP, but the full machine this time, the test program is a bit different. It displays the full microQ in a terminal GUI and can be fully operated via keyboard. The test program runs in realtime and features Midi in/out and Audio out.

The emulator is run on an i7 4790k (~2014), the CPU usage is shown at the bottom of the video."

You can also find a demo of their Virus TI emulator on their site here.

[SOUNDMIT 2022] KODAMO MASK 1 (+ DEMO) - New "Bitmask" Keyboard Synthesizer Incoming

video upload by Les Sondiers

New synth from KODAMO, makers of the EssenceFM, upcoming Bitmasker, and Infini.

"Exclusivité SoundMiT 2022, Kodamo présente un prototype très avancé de son nouveau Mask 1, un synthétiseur à base de synthèse de type bitmap, la fin de la vidéo comporte une démo sonore de l'instrument."

Googlish:

"Exclusive to SoundMiT 2022, Kodamo showcases a highly advanced prototype of its new Mask 1, a bitmap-based synthesis-based synthesizer, the end of the video features a sound demo of the instrument."

According to Kodamo, Bitmask is a new synthesis method that splits a sine waves into multiple parts which can then be rearranged. Reminds me of a mix between wavetable and granular synthesis.

Features:

Two oscillators with 200 bit masked waveforms & noise generator. Digital 12-state variable, four-mode, self-oscillating filter. Two multi-wave LFOs with 15 destinations. Seven envelopes for each oscillator with pitch, ADSR and delta envelopes. Ability to slur between notes held in a chord. Sound layering, splits, an arpeggiator, a built-in looper and polyphonic portamento. 61 key, velocity and channel aftertouch Fatar keyboard.

A few details and pics via their Kickstarter campaign follow.

"In December 2020, thanks to Kickstarter contributors, we achieved a successful campaign for Anyma Phi, the compact desktop monophonic physical modelling synthesizer. Six months later, we delivered it to our contributors.

Since then, we listened to the users feedback and worked on a more powerful and full featured instrument: Anyma Omega. Based on Anyma Phi synth engine, we designed Anyma Omega, a powerful hybrid polyphonic and multitimbral synthesizer. Its physical modelling synthesis engine allows to create new sound universes inspired from the real world, where objects collide, vibrate, and resonate.

Anyma Omega comes in two versions: desktop and keyboard, both including a large display and many controls, with unique sensitive wooden surfaces to feed resonators and enhance expression.

Whether you play live or compose music in the studio, design your own sounds or play presets, Anyma Omega will become a flexible and original addition to your setup.

PHYSICAL MODELLING

Anyma Omega blends the classic ingredients of electronic music with physical modelling technology, allowing it to simulate acoustic sound sources, such as strings or reeds, as well as resonating structures, like wood, glass, or metal.

POLYPHONY

16-notes polyphony with all the richness of Anyma's synthesis engine.

MULTITIMBRALITY

4 sound parts splitted, layered or even chained.

EXPRESSIVE PERFORMANCE

Proven Fatar® velocity sensitive semi-weighted synth action keybed with aftertouch for musical and expressive playing.

Numerous controls to enrich the performance and unique sensitive wooden surfaces (ribbon and touchpad) to feed resonators and enhance expression.

EASY EDITION

Easy access to 14 macro parameters controlling the main characteristics of patches.

Tweak every parameter of every module with the large display and controls, unleashing the power of a semi-modular synth at your fingertips.

Direct access to the various modules thanks to the interactive synthesis path diagram.

ALEAGEN

Create aleatory consistent patches, by pushing a single button, based on smart random algorithms.

POLYMORPH

Beyond polyphony, the exclusive PolyMorph feature can provide extra width, density and depth to the sound: fine-blend panspread, unison, expression and morphing for every single note.

TUNING AND MICROTUNING

With Anyma Omega you can use any scale or tuning to make your sound travel all around the world and the eras.

Explore our multiple microtuning presets. You can also load Scala (.scl) or Anamark (.tun) files in Anyma Omega by converting them to MIDI Tuning standard (MTS) format. In addition to importing and exporting tunings, there are several options that can be used to define and edit tunings directly on the instrument: reference tone adjustment, 12-tone octave scale, tuning table for each note and n-EDO scales.

CONNECTIVITY

With a lot of input and output ports, Anyma Omega easily connects to all the machines, synths and controllers. It is compatible with any standard MIDI controller, including our own electronic wind instrument: Sylphyo.

Plug external audio and use Anyma Omega as a powerful modular FX processor.

FREE EDITOR / LIBRARIAN

Free multi-platform editor/librarian inherited from and compatible with Anyma Phi's sound bank. Organize, archive and share your Anyma patches and performances.

Based on the Anyma Phi monophonic and monotimbral sound engine, Anyma Omega is polyphonic and multitimbral. Play up to 16 notes simultaneously and combine up to 4 sound parts (individual patches) in a performance. Route audio signal from one part to another to create monstous patches.

Anyma Omega Desktop provides an advanced user interface, making the use of an external editor quite unnecessary. We kept the macro parameters matrix of the Anyma Phi available, now available simultaneously thanks to the big TFT IPS color display and its 16 push encoders."
