The Legacy Series for BackStage Pass

video upload by JimDaneker

"Introducing The Legacy Series: 5 new deep-sampled instruments for the BackStage Pass family. With an intense focus on quality, The Legacy Series capture the heart and soul of some of the best synths ever made.

4 of the 5 are sourced from iconic vintage synths from the 70s and 80s, and all are extremely detailed, using advanced sampling & recording techniques to give you jaw-dropping, playable instruments that sound and respond exactly like their hardware counterparts. These aren't boring, lifeless sampled instruments: they capture all the instability, motion, and warmth of analog.

Available now for MainStage and Logic Pro, with Kontakt versions following shortly.

SYNTHFEST 2023 : NRSynth Show posts

Seven Sure

video upload by Studio Electronics

"SE-3X Paraphonic Gooseneck and Magnificent 3 Chord Monte in Eb Major

A CODE8 w/CS-80 filters gets the party started with bright and bratty horns—hard—like St. Regis used to sling in the ‘80s, via our fridge-sized RA-200, periodically rotating-speaker amp.

Greg St. Regs’ immortal patch #1 on the SE-02 then pairs and nearly overtakes the initial CODE bass work.

Shimmering CODE background colors and creations abound, including (but not limited too) cagey vocodering and gorgeous collapsing strings (nearly soloed at end in the Easter Egg hangover). 'You'll see.'

My vocal-eazy leads on the SE-02 channel Keys 2 genius and my good friend (ladies & gentleman), @monteneuble !

Boomstar Brotherhood Drums (SE-80 Chapter) created vast swaths of the root percussive elements—practically all, including hi hats; claps and rims not included. Blame sound wizard & partner-in-crime Sean Charles.

Some Brian Scroggins DMX/EMU Modular magic from a fruitless EMU/Fred Z/Grass Valley adventure, many decades/lifetimes back, swings in and out—Ishtar appearance as well. And I miss you brother. Avidly.

Stereo'Jaco' bass: CODE. Always juicy it is.

Pocket 'Princey" 80’s SEM-filtered chords (Abm to AbM) bounce & thrill. Celestial celeste and ancient tech Cathedral organ offer healing & wisdom ;) with bonus happy feet pedal board dance, tracked incongruously enough with one of CODE8's “Pigalle Party” patches. "A little spritz of water, a subway station, surrounded by bistros, Pigalle ... .' I'm thinking more Josephine Baker.

Guitar samples repurposed and reworked from our Modmax and Wolftone pedal demo archive; performances courtesy of Grecco Burrato, my elusive, but nevertheless marvelous friend.

MSR needle drops responsible for wildcard tones and pulses."

ChucK (1.5.0.0; codename "chai") Update

This one is in via supporting member, Loscha, who had the following to say:

"A new major release of audio programming language ChucK has come out.
ChucK has been on the scene for a solid 20 years now.
Apart from general synthesis and analysis, ChucK was a big mover in the early Live Coding music scene.
The language lets you add instruments and algorithmic elements to a live performance at will.
ChucK is a very easy and powerful language to learn."

The following was made in ChucK by Loscha back in 2018. You can find the code at the bottom of this link.

Nancy's Secret Synthesizer

video upload by Light In The Attic Records

"Video by Hunter Lea"

"In this incredible BTS video from Nancy Sinatra archival producer, Hunter Lea, we go inside keyboard wizard Clare Fischer’s innovative deployment of the Yamaha EX-42 synthesizer on this truly classic release reborn anew. The clip breaks down how the EX-42 was used on songs like 'Arkansas Coal (Suite),' 'Paris Summer,' 'Tippy Toes,' and 'Friendship Train' by way of giving us a closer listen to some of those synth tracks via accessing of the original multitracks. 'It looks like some of the organs of its time, but this keyboard is a complicated analog proto synthesizer,' as co-producer Hunter Lea explains."
