Patching in TB Lowtone


video upload by boxoftextures

"New synth from Toneboosters, makers of Flowtones. But this is Lowtone, which they're calling an innovative bass synthesizer plug-in. TB says they're using loudness-domain harmonic synthesis in Lowtone, which is aimed at making in their words 'deeper, more consistent and production-ready bass sounds.' I haven't made any specifically bass-y patches yet but I've had a blast programming things. It has three VCOs but also a VCN, a voltage controlled noise generator, which was great fun to play with. The three VCOs have dozens of waveform variations, and there are a pile of different filter types as well. There are two xLFOs, X for extended, which I think go all the way down to 0.01 Hz (!). There's also a gate section, which is kind of like a sequencer for modulations. You can maybe use it like a regular sequencer if you like, although I haven't had a chance to try that yet, but each step can have its own shapes, giving you a lot of different sound-shaping options.

I've only made a handful of patches so far but have had great fun making them. A couple of 'normal' sounds, one haunting rhythmic drone-ish thing which I find totally mesmerizing, and one batch of absolute chaos using only the VCN as a sound source (LOL).

This particular video was done using Lowtone on the iPad, but there's also a Mac/Windows version as well so you should be able to transfer patches back and forth as needed.

Great fun, highly recommended.

MiniMod Keyz User Guide - Modules: Features, & How to use them


video upload by AJH Synth Official

"Second part of our User Guide for the MiniMod Keyz - A full Minimoog-based analogue Eurorack modular synth and Cre8audio NiftyKeyz package available from AJH Synth. This part takes a close look at each of the modules that are included in the system, explaining what their features are, and how to use them. For someone new to modular synths, this should open up more creative possibilities - once you have an understanding of how a module works, your imagination is free to apply this knowledge to your own musical ideas.

This is a complete ready-to-go Eurorack synthesizer system, with additional Moog CP-3-style mixer, dual sub-bass/sub-octave generator, 3 input analog ring modulator based on the EMS Synthi/VCS3, voltage-controlled high pass filter, and a powerful multi-function, clockable LFO complete with random modes. Couple these high-end, vintage-voiced, and generously-featured modules with the extensive capabilities of the Nifty Keyz, and you've got one powerful monosynth."

The Musical Gameboy // Sonicware SMPLTREK with V2.0 update


video upload by Starsky Carr

"GREAT FUN.. The SMPLTREK is now on firmware V2.0 and it's a very welcome update. I've had the Smpltrek for a while now, and have waited to demo it as although it was a great little unit I needed time to understand how it worked, which was not mean feat with a 186 page manual, and to be perfectly honest I thought it was a little clumsy in some places.

The V2 firmware update tipped it over the edge into being much more fun and useable. I've now been really enjoying it - particularly its portability. A few evenings sitting in the garden with just this and a glass of something cool.. very nice.

Although it looks like a throwback to 1980's handheld games the smpltrek's got great connectivity options for the studio, with full sized MIDI, 6.35mm Jack ins and outs, plus its a USB audio interface. All very useful."

via this auction, also on Reverb

" It is unlike ANY other synth... the architecture is very different than any other synth, so if youve never played a CS30, you'll find yourself saying "huh??? What is that?... a LOT. Its very much like a modular synth in design and in labeling without the cable patching. The modulation routing alone is mind blowing... you can modulate just about anything in spades... 3, 4, 5 ways of modulating major sections of the synth AT THE SAME TIME... yes, its deep. There are too many cool things of this synth that are unlike any other."
