LXR by Erica Synths x Sonic Potions

video upload by Cinematic Laboratory

"Time for a 'not so deep' dive into the LXR, but with really cool results. I've linked a video manual by Synth DIY Guy who went through all settings because I don't have the patience for walkthroughs and demos. But, wow, this drum synth is something else. When I started this video I assumed it was analog but it's certainly digital and it's a masterpiece. The point is, it doesn't sound digital unless you set the bit crusher to work.
The presets are clearly targeted to the loud and gritty genres of electronic music, but in its core, it's a six voice synth that can make amazing sounds for any genre, including ambient. I am not sure if I can post something before Christmas, so I wish you a great holiday season and I'll definitely see you again in 2023."

Studio Tour | Episode 06 | From Analog to Digital and back | 32 bit update

video upload by Cinematic Laboratory

"Sometimes it happens. When I posted this episode a few days ago, Peter Paper commented that 32 bit recordings don't suffer from clipping, distortion and don't need a limiter. I wish that was true, and it turns out it IS! However, many people are still puzzled by it. It only applies to 32 bit analog to digital converters. If your 24 bit converter or analog source clips, there's nothing you can do about it. But 32 bit converters don't have a 0 dB digital brick wall. They just give you all the headroom you'll ever need, up to a range of 1500 dB (210 dB is the loudest possible sound on Earth and it will destroy a city).

I just can't write things that are not true on my channel while knowing about it. So I had to take the old version down and revisit the subject. 32 bit converters are hard to find, but it turned out my little Korg DSD recorder (from Episode 05) can also record 44.1K/32 bit float. So I could test it, and share it with you! The results are amazing. Indeed, it is true! So DSD is a cool 'nerd' feature, but I'll stick to PCM.

Spoiler:
In the blind A/B compare, A is the original 44.1/16 file, and B is the upscaled 768/24 bit version from the Chord Hugo TT2, analog XLR output and re-recorded with the Neve Master Buss Converter in 96K/24. There is a subtle difference in depth, placement, high-end and timing, but I doubt if you can hear it. The purpose of this set is to prepare a digital file for an analog audio chain, but I was wondering if the AD/DA conversion would already make a difference. Considering the price difference, I'd say no. Save your money for a Shared System - but maybe get that little Korg when you love to play loud.

Korg Radias ambient demo

video upload by MIDERA

"Today I decided to fix my Korg Radias. The Alpha dial encoder and the cutoff potentiometer had issues that always prevented me from enjoying the Radias. It took about an hour to dismantle and remove the parts. Now they're replaced it works as good as new.

While I find a lot of the sound on the Radias to be... harsh? I also think it has really extreme modulation depth and is really quite fun for sound design.

No external FX used."

Introducing my “LM Vintage Keys” Sound Bank for the Arturia ​MiniFreak.

I have only scratched the surface of the MiniFreak in the short time I have owned it and thought a great start would be to emulate some classic bread & butter analog synths tones with the flexibility of the MiniFreak’s sound engine.

This is a collection of custom presets that explore vintage synth tones inspired by some of my favourite synthesisers such as the Oberheim OB8, Sequential Prophet 5, Moog Multimoog, Roland Jupiter 4 and Juno 6 and many more.

Load this bank into your MiniFreak V library and import the file straight into where you desire in your MiniFreak.

It is Xmas time, so this is my gift to all you owners of the MiniFreak/MiniFreak V.

List of presets included;

LM ARP Bass
LM Big Moog
LM Brass Ph
LM CS Brass
LM Doc Lead
LM FM Piano
LM JP Strings
LM JP4 Poly
LM JP6 Fizz
LM Juno Arp
LM Juno Poly
LM JX Brass
LM Moog Bass
LM Moog Lead
LM Multi Bass
LM OB Brass
LM P5 Brass
LM P5 Pluck
LM P5 Sync
LM Solina Ens

All audio is straight from the outputs of the MiniFreak to a Universal Audio Apollo 16 and then recorded direct into Protools Studio with no further processing."
