Yamaha SK20 Symphonic Ensemble - Synthesizer Demo


video upload by NGC0 Music

"Another old vintage synth that I've had in my studio for some time, but never really had the time to explore it for real, just recorded this while messing around with the buttons and faders of this interesting poly synth, sounds like the perfect synth for pads and strings in the 70s, beautiful synth, I wish it was less bulkier, and had less of a 70s piece of gear (it smells weird after turned on for a few minutes haha)"

"Main VCO from Mutable Plaits going through Maths as an envelope generator. Marbles directing traffic with slicing grains from Beads for texture. All signal going into Morpheus Z-Plane filter."

RF Modular ACID Techno 128bpm analog jam


video upload by Radical Frequencies Modular

"One more analog jam with nice groove at 128 bpm Acid Techno with the RF Modular.
RF Dpvco square wave goes through the RF transistor mixer full saturated and then through SH Vcf using 12db out making the acid lead riff .
The bass is made only with the AD multi vco using the triangle pulse wave and sending an envelope to waveshape it as a filter ! But no filter used for the bass sound .
All drums are analog and mixed through the RF Audio & cv mixer. The hats are made by a modified RD 606 (the sound is now completely different in comparison with the original)
Sequences and triggers from Beatstep pro. The RF VC adsr envelopes are voltage controlled from RF Lucky Voltages . https://www.radicalfrequencies.com"

Fluss - Kinetic Granular Synthesizer By Bram Bos and Hainbach


video upload by HAINBACH

"It took one and half years, but now it is finally here - Fluss, my latest collaboration with Bram Bos. It is a granular playground for iOS devices - a synthesizer and a processor that is inviting to play yet can give you complex results. The kinetic interface gives you a fun and musical way to interact with it, as your gestures become the speed and depth of the modulation.

Fluss is available now in the Apple App Store: https://apps.apple.com/nl/app/fluss-g..."

ST Modular - ALSTADEN (Waveshaping Oscillator)


video upload by Stefan Tretau

"ALSTADEN is your source for harsh and harmonically rich sounds. It is a newly developed waveshaping tone generator and resembles the secondary oscillator of the semi-modular synthesizer „EUPHORIA“. The waves are formed by a combination of diode clipping and folding of the waveform by adding mirror images of the upper and lower parts of the waveform. This creates more high harmonics and interesting timbral variations. It also features an equalizer, which is quite unusual for oscillators, but offers more sonic possibilities."

Prismatic Spray - bytebeat adventure synth!


video upload by Arman Bohn

"Tabletop bytebeat synth w/ 9 knobs, 6 buttons, code looper, analog filter, time skip, slomo, visuals & full USB/TRS MIDI implementation.

I’m making small batches of these in various colors available here:

https://www.tindie.com/products/distr...

The manual can be downloaded here

Prismatic Spray can be purchased here"

Additional demos followed by pics and details form the Tindie page:





"Prismatic Spray is a deeply explorable bytebeat synth that implements many novel features. It includes a multitude of physical controls, mesmerizing visuals and full MIDI implementation. Highlights include but are not limited to:

A Full User's Manual

Yup. You won't just get a link to a github repository and some hex. Prismatic Spray comes with a multi-page instruction manual to guide you in your explorations (it is approximately 8.5" x 5.5" if you are searching for frames). This manual is written in the tongue of old and should be incomprehensible to anyone not familiar with first edition Advanced Dungeons & Dragons.

Chromatic Tuning

Prismatic Spray is tuned to a western 12 tone chromatic scale. You can play it like any other synth. No horsing around with cycles and Hertz. Prismatic Spray is adjustable through about 6 octaves from the dark blue knob on the front panel. The full range of MIDI notes is available when using MIDI via USB or TRS-A.

Looping

Prismatic Spray can be set to loop over any region of a bytebeat equation. The start and end points are adjustable after the loop has been set. At the tightest settings, Prismatic Spray becomes almost granular sounding. Irritatingly granular.

Visualizations

Prismatic Spray can display a visual representation of the current bytebeat audio output in real time on the 1.5" color display. Alterations to the bytebeat equation using the knobs will effect the patterns and colors of the visualization. There is also a regular menu with actual useful data to look at if you hate cool graphics.

Analog Filter

Are things sounding too wonderful? Can't take any more bristling fizzles? Prismatic Spray has an analog filter to roll out as much high end as you'd like. Like pretty much all of it.

40 Bytebeat equations

Prismatic Spray has 40 bytebeat equations to explore. Each equation has three variable to adjust (along with pitch, time skip and a kind of 'time stretch-ish' effect). You can get lost. I heard a voice talking in there once. It was saying "YaaaaYaaaaYaaaaYaaaa".

Over 30 presets

Okay ... that's not a lot to brag about, but the non-volatile memory inside the Prismatic Spray is limited. You get ~30 preset slots for saving your favorite crusty, ear splitting zapazoids.

A Case

Yay! You don't have to worry about shorting anything out, snapping the PCB in half or breaking off a protruding component! Prismatic Spray comes fully enclosed in a 3D printed case (available in various colors). The glowing innards of the Prismatic Spray are clearly visible (mostly with the clear case) while the unit is in operation.

Prismatic Spray has the following controls:
