Ensoniq ESQ-1 new patch bank out now!

video upload by Espen Kraft

"Compatible with Ensoniq ESQ-1 / ESQ-M /SQ-80 and all emulations that can import original ESQ sysex patches. This pack has 40 brand new patches.

Get it here:
https://thepatchbay.io/product/ensoni...
https://sound7.co.uk/products/ensoniq...

Brass, strings, pads, keys, synths, bass and bells. All ready to go into your own music. These are sounds tailored for pop, synthwave, Italo Disco and Soundtracks. These are not particularly tailored for industrial- or darker experimental electronic music.

The download files is in sysex format and must be imported to your own hardware synth from a computer with a sysex transfer program, through your midi interface, and into your synth.
On an emulation you can just load the sysex file internally in your computer.

These patches uses the factory waveforms. Not any hidden or custom waveforms.
In the demo I use a lot of external reverb and delay. Some chorus as well. Necessary on these old synths. I've never been fan of showing off neither patches, nor waveforms dry. Except for maybe bass sounds.

The Ensoniq ESQ-1 from 1986 is on of those classic hybrid synths from the 80s. It has digitally stored waveforms and analog filters.
The ESQ-1 was the first synth of many aspiring synth people and it still holds a strong nostalgic grip on most of us. And it's still very much alive. It has a certain sound that many likes.

The patches are the copyright of Espen Kraft and can be used in any commercial production without limitations. The patches cannot be resold or assembled into any other collection- or distribution online, or otherwise."

Today (7/22/23), when I made this track - was the 13th Anniversary of my Dad's death. My mom and I talked at length today about it. It's crazy to think about all the things I remember from that day and from the funeral - from watching his last breath to sitting in silence with my mom after everyone left after the funeral. We were just sitting there and it almost felt like it never happened. It was so strange.

13 years. It just kind of doesn't feel like the movement of time makes any sense. Those things feel like a few weeks ago, I have very vivid memories about them. But I don't actually remember things that happened a few weeks ago, normally. So odd what can stick in your head and why it does.

It certainly has been a wild ride this last month, my wife losing her job, our dogs fighting so bad that it required a $1200 emergency vet visit, and more.

And in my studio I've just not had much success. Moving gear around, hating everything I write. I think 'maybe I just need it set up like this...' and a few days later I tear it down too. I used to do so much more, but I only had a few things. I expect 2012 results in 2023 - where I didn't have a family, kids, dogs, a house, a career... I am not complaining that I have them, but my expectations of what I'm capable of haven't changed, even though everything else has.

Now - I'm also stuck with so much gear I don't even like... Jupiter 6, Poly Evolver, JD800... they're cool, but do they add anything, like REALLY add anything to what I already have? No. They don't. The day I got the Prophet 10 in my studio was the day my music suffered. It was just a big, big synth that didn't take me where I wanted. I still have it, but even that is among the synths I'm not completely fond of, but feel like I should be. I think it's mostly in how much space some of these things take up relative to how much space I actually have. I sometimes think if I had more room, I'd make better use of them, but I don't actually think that's true. I just think I'd have more stuff stuffed in a bigger room.

Well, anyway, I managed to write something in the last two days. Here it is."

"世界的にもプレイヤーやプロが愛して止まないSequential Prophet（シーケンシャル・プロフェット）シリーズ！

同時発音数が増えることで複雑なジャズのコード弾きなどにも適している「6シリーズ」（Prophet-6、Trigon-6、OB-6）を使用し、「音楽的観点から掘る音作り」と題して、シンセのプリセットを鳴らすだけの状況から卒業をして、他の楽器とのアンサンブルでいかに工夫を凝らして鳴らしたい音に近づけるかを実践を交えて分かりやすく解説！

同ブランドの国内輸入代理店である福産起業よりプロモーション＆技術サポートを担当し製品に精通する平井亮氏とデモンストレーターとして長尾家隆氏をお招きし、ドラムやキーボードを含めたデモ演奏を交えながらお届けします。

[Sequential] Tracing the genealogy of the Prophet series vol.2 ~Deepening sound creation from a musical point of view~ | Keibando TV #6 [Ikeshibu LIVES]

"The Sequential Prophet series that players and professionals around the world love!

Using the "6 series" (Prophet-6, Trigon-6, OB-6), which are also suitable for playing complex jazz chords due to their increased polyphony, and titled "Sound Creation from a Musical Perspective," he will explain in an easy-to-understand manner how to graduate from the situation of simply playing synth presets and how to devise and approach the sound you want to play in an ensemble with other instruments!

We invited Mr. Ryo Hirai, who is in charge of promotion and technical support and familiar with the product, and Mr. Ietaka Nagao as a demonstrator from Fukusan Kigyo, the domestic import agent of the brand, and we will deliver it with demonstration performances including drums and keyboards.

FM in Modular: Types, Patches, and Tips

video upload by Chris Meyer: Learning Modular + Alias Zone

"How do you patch frequency modulation (FM) in a modular? What are the differences between exponential, linear, and through-zero FM? How do you deal with pitch shifts when increasing the FM depth? What happens when a VCO frequency-modulates itself, or is patched in a feedback loop? All of that is explained in this movie.
