Albert Nyström Made a Drum Machine for $70


video upload by Albert Nyström

"Here's a Drum machine I designed and built over the last 3 months using a Teensy 4.1 as the main brain.
The total build cost was about $70, 30 of which was the Teensy itself.

I'm pretty happy with how it turned out and I´m considering making a 2.0 version in the future that will be for sale!

Here's a link to the Code, Schematics and more information about the project:

G-Sonique Psytrance AI Voices - VST / AU plug-in instrument for Win & Mac - psytrance intro voices


video upload by G-Sonique

"G-Sonique Psytrance AI Voices - VST / AU plug-in instrument for Win & Mac - psytrance intro voices Available here: https://www.g-sonique.com/shop.html

Psytrance music is characterized by exciting and elaborate intros, outros, intermezzos, breakouts. Nothing gets a crowd crazy more than an professional built-up graduating from chill intermezzo to a dance passage with atomic bomb energy.

And it is in these passages often interesting thematic voices /vocalsare used. However, it seems boring to people if they hear the same message 1000 times from Timothy Leary, McKenna or from the movie Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas. People want to hear something new, different. That's why the Psytrance A.I. Voices - VST / AU plug-in instrument for Win and Mac was created. AI voices instrument is full of robotic, synthetic psytrance themed psychedelic voices and slogans. The sounds are created by artificial intelligence, then resampled and resynthesized with various futuristic sound design methods. They sound excellent in a wide range of octaves. You will find every voice in different sound variations from classic AIs, to robotic, mystical, crystal-glass-sounding ethereal beings, matrix entities and witches, created deep in the mind of artificial intelligence.

These notes can be used in intros/interludes as well as together with beats.

Listen to the demo. Spice up your production with unexpected sounds - people remember the spoken word best because it is closest to our DNA.

Very well usable in genres such as: psytrance, hitech, darkpsy, full-on psytrance, progressive, darkprog, tech trance, psycore, experimental, neurofunk, psybient, but also techno, minimal and others.

FH-2 Arpeggiator tips #1 - The 'Arp Reset' setting


video upload by Expert Sleepers

"The 'Arp Reset' setting on the FH-2 arpeggiator tells it to reset the pattern to the first step after a certain number of quarter notes. This can be used for example to force patterns to loop nicely after a number of bars, locking them into the groove."

SH 01 Gaia Live Improv/Demo - no talking


video upload by O.Z. Hall

"The Roland Gaia virtual analog (VA) synthesizer is really quite impressive (IMHO). It features VA architecture with many filter formats as well as effects. Although it is a "single oscillator" synth, there are three complete VA layers, including oscillator sync between layers!
There are also 8 good sampled presets, when you want sampled piano, strings, voices, etc.
Add to all that a General Midi digital sound module (accessible only via MIDI). Per the GM standard, MIDI channel 10 lets you access a good sounding drum kit. This is the kit I'm using in the video.
The drums are triggered vial MIDI from the Arturia Beatstep Pro sequencer.
The synth preset used is original. The 'Phrase Recorder' sequences are original. Of course, the improvisational playing and parameter adjustments are live. I hope listening is as fun for you as playing was for me!"

Sci-Fi Sound FX DSI Poly Evolver Pads


video upload by MIDERA

"You may be wondering why all the knobs are missing on my Poly Evolver. Well, I ripped them off so that I could see what they looked like on my Roland System 8. They looked ok. But the problem with the System 8 really isn't in the knobs, but in the poor keybed (which I even opened up and lubed and it still doesn't feel nice). Well, I decided to keep them off and I think I'm going to upgrade my encoders to the 24-detented versions. That will be a lot of work if I do it.

Anyway, I am sitting with the Poly Evolver and wondering whether it's something I should keep, being only 4 voices. That frustrates me quite a bit actually. I feel like at 6 voices it would have been amazing, and, I suppose it is only at 4 voices, but I find 6 is really the sweet spot. It's such a great synth though. I do have a mono evolver to add a voice, but it has a bug whereby the two won't always sound identical. Plus, you can't use the Audio inputs on the Poly Evolver to take the extra voice of the Mono Evolver. Just don't know what DSI was thinking. Only the PE Rack has that combination. Missed opportunity.

Well, I guess as I played the Poly Evolver, I realized just how crazy this thing gets. I don't know any other synths that really get this crazy. I don't think any that I have really do this sequencing like that. Maybe the Korg Radias, but it doesn't really sound as nice (and doesn't have analog voices and filters).

So - what you have is me going through and just messing around with a patch I made. I started it mid-way through my journey. I added the beginning portion to the end so you're welcome to get there if you want - although I find that people only watch the first few minutes of my videos anyway, so I doubt anyone will even get to that part!

Used Eventide Blackhole VST for reverb."
