"This is a true classic from Waldorf. It's known as possibly the best VA synth ever made (kills the MS2000, JP8000, etc etc) but also has those classic German wavetables for that PPG style. Multiple filters, egs, etc etc. 4 part multi-timbral. It can do so much but I have too much stuff and more on the way so this has to go. The original Q was a terrible, bright yellow monstrosity but this is the beautiful, rare version that is now known as the Halloween version."
"Using the pitch lock/octaver feature from Banshee Reach to create interesting overtones while having it both ring-modulated and wave-folded through Jeweler Cast."
"Drawing from the earliest days of polyphonic synthesizers, Sound Bank ‘79 for the Cherry Audio Memorymode 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 Moog Memorymoog analog poly synth. There's a unique richness to the sound of a Memorymoog, along with it's expanded feature set, and Cherry Audio have definitely captured that.
Sound Bank '79 is a series of vintage tones for different synths and plug-ins, so look out for future releases. Recorded completely dry with no external effects or processing.
"Got the updated Facehugger breadboard prototype functioning. All solo functions are now working. I'll get some more videos up after doing some adjustments."
"Join us for a YouTube watch party to celebrate the new release Systers of Synth / Medusa from Lisa Bella Donna with Dina Pearlman-Ifil. Recorded in the summer of 2022, in Lisa's remote Appalichian studio, this full-length album showcases Lisa's talents using multiple ARP synthesizers and featuring d'ARP on two pieces.
This interview discusses all aspects of synthesis, pairing ARPs with Moogs, the influence of these instruments on modern music, celebrates the process and joy of collaboration, influences of our elders and how these instruments are as vital today as the day they were first made!
For those attending the watch party on Tuesday, if you make a donation during the Pemiere, your name will be put into a drawing. Two prizes will be given, a CD download and a poster, printed on fine art paper using the Giclee method.
Stick around after the show for a chance to ask Lisa and Dina questions.
