"@GazWilliams was at Syntheast this weekend - organised by @MoltenMusicTech it was the first held at Norwich Arts Centre in the UK. With a daytime session and evening performance session the event was sold out, by all accounts a lot of fun.

Gaz Williams talks to Steve Davis, @DivKid , @MoltenMusicTech , @LOOKMUMNOCOMPUTER and others. http://syntheast.com"

Reverb Auction Links Fixed

It appears the last three Reverb auction posts had bad links. They have been fixed. You can find them here.

Soundtoys Sale

Soundtoys is currently having a sale. You'll find full details here, including demos.

Note although the sale is focused on "Creative Guitar Processing" their effects can of course be applied to synths.

"This week we’re obsessed with guitar, which might be one of the most popular, most versatile, and most important instruments in contemporary music. Over the decades, guitars have shaped a multitude of hits, transcended genres, and become distinctive sounds within popular music.

We’ve been deep in the studio exploring effects, playing with presets, and trying different mixing techniques on all types of guitars. Check out the links below to find some inspiration on how to transform electric guitar, pedal steel, or lap steel tracks into something sonically succulent and explore limitless possibilities of creative guitar sounds using Soundtoys."

Waves // Beads as a wavetable synth through the Instruo Lubadh

video upload by Mega Modularis

"For this week’s video I tried using the Mutable Instruments Beads as the only sound source, with nothing plugged in Beads becomes a wavetable synth, which I then modulated and fed into the @instruo Lubadh, before manipulating those recordings and feeding them back into Beads and Monsoon by Big T Music, as well as my trusty @MAKEN0ISEMUSIC Mimeophon delay. This resulted in a pretty interesting ambient patch I think, with some nice use of the time control on the Lubadh, and that lovely reverb-rich granulation of Beads and Monsoon, what do you think? Anyway sit back and enjoy! MM.

Patch Notes:

Voice: Mutable Beads, Instruo Lubadh
Modulation: ALM Pam’s, @DivKid Ochd
Audio FX & Processing: Instruo Lubadh, Mutable Beads & the Big T Music Monsoon"

"I had this chord progression in my head all week, so now I've finally had the time to lay it down on the Rhodes and add other stuff on top. I hope you like it!"
