Teenage Engineering OP-1 field demo (no talking)

video upload by Hunart©

"Hi Everyone!

Recently I've finally could play with the newer version of the old beloved OP-1. This is just a quick soundcheck, recorded track by track in to Ableton, I've used very little EQ (cosmetics) and a limiter on the whole material. It is awesome for its size, I hope I can afford one in the future, as there's much more inside that you can see in the specs.

Enjoy and feel free to ask any questions!

Arturia JUP-8 V - Sound Bank '79

video upload by Polydata

"Drawing from the earliest days of polyphonic synthesizers, Sound Bank ‘79 for the Arturia JUP-8 V finds its inspiration in synthesizer music found in documentaries and library music from the late 70’s and early 80’s.

A bank comprising 40 patches for instant inspiration. The goal was to squeeze as much vintage analog juice out of this plug-in as possible, primarily working within the constraints of the original Roland Jupiter-8. I was honestly blown away by how good this plug-in can sound, and will definitely by using a lot more going forward.

Sound Bank '79 is a series of vintage tones for different synths and plug-ins, so look out for future releases. Recorded with no external processing - what you hear is all from the plug-in.

Phantasmal Force micro midi controller synthetic generative krautrock w/ M8 Tracker & Roland J6

video upload by Arman Bohn

"New device design.

Phantasmal Force micro 16 button MIDI controller. Each button can be configured to do just about anything in the midi world (cc toggling & momentary, note, chords, play, stop and program change). Save & load configs. Randomly generated teeth on startup. USB-C and TRS-A out.

Why so small? I don’t know.

Synthetic generative krautrock from the M8 tracker and Roland J-6. "

HWJ We Three Kings (redux) - Secret Santa for Owen Olley

video upload by SynthAddict

"Maschine+ jam of a tweaked, old, public domain X-mas song.
For Owen, I had to incorporate some nice chord moves, inter-
twining arps, and of course some guitar bits (fake-played with
pads - no loops). My guitar skills stink right now. :-)"

Neutral Labs Nijel Distortion

video upload by John Schussler

"I really liked Neutral Labs' first module: Scrat. It's a filter plus distortion in 8hp. But y'know, maybe you have lots of filters and only want the distortion bit, so to the rescue comes Nijel: just 4hp, but using the same sound cards as Scrat (the cards are called "Nuts"), and with plenty of attitude.

So as soon as I heard of Nijel's existence I jumped at the chance to build one (it's a super easy build...all the SMD components are already on the PCB, you just do pots and jacks for the most part). Many thanks to Martin at Neutral Labs for getting me in early.

Sound source: Acid Rain Chainsaw (3 VCO). Envelope: Zadar. Sequencer: Stochastic IG.

Roland JX-08 review

"A great-sounding, portable machine based on the classic "JX-8P" (with PG-800 programmer) analog synth of the mid '80s.
