Arturia Prophet VS - Summer School '86 Sound Bank

video upload by Polydata

"You really blew it this time. You failed Chemistry. Now you have no option: you have to go to summer school. A hot walk every morning and a hotter walk home. Emptier hallways, quieter lunchroom and no chance of sleeping in. But one afternoon you go to the local music shop and get to try out a new instrument: The Sequential Prophet VS. All-digital oscillators with vector cross-fading. You've never heard anything like it, and it's sound seems to keep echoing in your head all summer...

A bank of 30 patches showcasing the unique beauty of this instrument's design and sound, while still focusing on warmth and musicality, and providing a complexity not found in other Polydata sound banks. The sound that will always take you back to that summer.

** Note: This is for the original "Prophet V3" plug-in, not the newer "Prophet VS V" plug-in that comes with V Collection 9. Please ensure you have access to the correct plug-in before purchasing. **

After payment, you will receive the file in your email within 24 hours. Recorded with no external processing - what you hear is all from the plug-in.

Drone Music With DIY Analog Synthesizer (Hana Synth)

video upload by Jeanie

"Made a small piece of ambient music by using my DIY synthesizer, all the synth sounds from it. Thank you all for the encouragement and support.

Hana synth is a two voicing sound generator and drone machine, based on Ray Wilson’s WSG from Music From Outer Space.

Each voice contains: 2 audio rate oscillators, 1 LFO oscillator and 1 low pass filter with controls for oscillator frequency, LFO frequency, modulation depth, low pass filter frequency plus overall voice volume level. There are also 3 switches for gate on/off (oscillator 2 gates oscillator 1), duo ( to add oscillator 2 into audio output) and shape (to switch LFO oscillator 3 between triangle and square waveform).

The separate volume controls are especially useful to enable blending of each voice for easier performance and a wider sonic landscape.

Hana synth is powered from a 9V adapter or 9V battery and has a 6.35mm jack output for direct connection to a mixer or an amplifier."

New Vaemi XFMR VCA

video uploads by Vaemi

"Vaemi's new module XFMR VCA, which is designed for Eurorack systems, introduces users to a transformer-based VCA design.

Turkey-based Vaemi (Volt Age Electronic Musical Instruments), which commercially produces synthesizers and electronic musical instruments, recently released its first module, the Osi-Op (through zero fm VCO), and quickly followed with other Eurorack modules such as Shift Register, R2R Ladder, Buffered Multiple, making a name for itself. Now, it has introduced and brought its users the new XFMR VCA module, which is handcrafted with high-quality, through-hole components and features an audio transformer in its output.
The XFMR VCA is a VCA with linear curves. It has two separate audio outputs, such as the classic Op-Amp and the Transformer Output feature that gives it its name. It is AC Coupled and designed specifically for audio signals, making it a VCA module that you would want to use at the end of your chain. You can use it to add saturation, harmonics, and EQ to your patches made with the Osi-Op and through zero fm techniques, or use it for a clean range if desired. This wide range of options will be loved and make you feel comfortable.
Additionally, the XFMR VCA has an expander that allows you to expand it up to 3 channels. With the expander, you can have two more exponential VCA channels, which you can use for frequency modulation of oscillators or in other places you need them.
In studios, preamplifiers are equipment that can properly raise the microphone or line signals level without distorting or adding noise to the sound. However, when recording analog synthesizers, we tend to lower the sound instead of raising it because they have very high outputs. At this point, we thought that one of the most important things that preamplifiers add to recordings, other than gain, is audio transformers.
The XFMR VCA also has an EQ stage. This will provide great flexibility when finalizing your last patch, especially in multi-channel patches, and will provide a more accurate and clean sound in live performances.
Vaemi aims to create systems that can comfortably be used in today's electronic music and popular synthesis techniques such as additive, FM, Formant, Subtractive synthesis, and will continue to shape and evolve with new module designs that will be released in the coming year.
