Pamela’s PRO Workout: Off-Grid Timings with Human, Swing & Ramp Flex Ops

video upload by ALM TV

"Flex Operations are a powerful feature of Pamela's PRO Workout that allow outputs to be taken 'off the grid' for functionalities such as swing, random ‘human’ fluctuations in timing, and unique up and down ramping of the clock speed. The various Flex Ops make it easy to create groovy and organic rhythms, ever changing CV modulation signals and more. In this video we take a look at the different types of Flex Operations."

Elektron Digitone - Space Sounds [SOUNDSET] • Custom Presets

video upload by Mr. Card

"My private collection of space sounds dedicated to Elektron Digitone. I've always loved spacious and 3D sound. Elektron Digitone allows you to produce many spatial sounds. I really like Elektron Digitone for its functionality and sound. The soundset complements my few presets for the free genius Valhalla Supermassive reverb. With this soundset, you can take your instrument to the next level. Check out my soundset: https://bit.ly/digitonespace"

Prophet 12 - How Analog can it sound? - Part #4 (Rhodes Style Piano)

video upload by Scott McAuley Sounds & Synthesis

Additional Parts

"Last Video of this series, showing the diversity and expression of the P12, nothing like a good old Rhodes sound to show off a synths Envelopes, Velocity response, and warmth.

This Patch simply called "SM Bob James" says it all. very short vid this one, but I will play live on full demo video :)

Enjoy!

L.E.P. Electronic Laboratories Arpoloop Development Update & A Call for Input

Check out L.E.P. Electronic Laboratories' upcoming Arpoloop. They reached out to me to let me know they are looking for someone to help with the user manual. Also if you have any suggestions on additional cv/trig in/out connectors you might find useful, feel freel to reach out them at tonight222 at gmail.com or their social links at the bottom of their website. Or you can leave a comment at the bottom of this post and I will relay it to them.

"The final step on Arpoloop development, we add an eight step capacitor sequencer and one octave keyboard. Arpoloop final shape will be inspired by Minimoog with foldable voice board, in the photos the last not definitive prototype.

ArpoLoop it’s the newest creation of L.E.P. electronic laboratories.

After five or more years of development, the volcanic mind of our analog engineer Peppo Lasagna, created this unique instrument, virtually inspired by the Raymond Scott pioneer work.

ArpoLoop it’s a generative analog composer, an analog computer for musician, full-featured for creating algorithmic live music, letting you combine melodies and rhythm, thanks to the help of his Analog Intelligent Algorithm.

ArpoLoop is a full Analog synthesizer in 60HP, 7U format, with a built-in full analog rhythm and melody composer. With full Analog terminology, we mean we don’t use any digital component, like microprocessor or even CMOS counter IC like CD4040 etc. this guarantees you a living organic sound, always drifting to a new direction.

Since there is no microprocessor nor memory, it can not be programmed in the usual way, instead it can be set and guided to play a line whose parameters are user definable and virtually infinite.

With these features, ArpoLoop offers you a unique musical experience, where instead of programming your sequencer you are forced to play with him.

Each time you switch on your ArpoLoop he will respond to your state of mind, letting you compose the music of that moment, this is particularly notable when in our time the music was the first product of human creativity to digitally disappear, thus making the recorded music lose importance.

Like a pianist practices with his piano, you will practice with your ArpoLoop offering an always better improvised musical live performance.

ArpoLoop consist of different part and modules :
The Voice Board.
The Ramp Generator.
The Capacitor Sequencer.
The Note Generator.
The Rhythm Generator.
The Octave Keyboard.
Here is a list of its features:
-4 voltage controlled oscillators (VCO)
-VCO1 sine wave with sync and FM
-VCO2 sine wave with FM
-VCO3 sine wave with sync and FM
-VCO4 sine-square-sawtooth with LFO option
-4 cascadable voltage controlled amplifiers (VCA) controlled by envelope or ring modulated by a VCO
-3 Attack-Release envelope generators (ENV) with 3 modes of operation (GATE, REPEAT, TRIG)
-Clock generator and 3 Ramp generators for general timing
-4 Rhythm generator to control notes and drums
-Note generator with 2 sample\hold CV outputs
-Bass drum (CASSA) with pitch, resonance and distortion
-Snare drum with tom pitch and decay
-6 channel Audio Mixer with level and individual out for cassa, snare, vca 1\2, vca 3\4"

Prophet 12 - How Analog can it sound? - Part #3 (No Effects)

video upload by Scott McAuley Sounds & Synthesis

Additional Parts

"Completely different type of analog demo this one. it's one to show the benefits of stable oscillators (DCO) versus (VCO) instability. Yes I love the instability of VCO, and would still chose them over DCO for most applications. but at times, especially for percussive or crystal like sounds, the stable DCO allows far better sound design and allows the synth to cut through. This patch has no effects, (yes it's completely dry!) it does have some light compression for mastering and that is it. From Low end to High End the P12 is just there!

I love it. snappy envelopes, it's rich, and just has a sound of it's own.

hope you enjoy!
SM."

NightRider by Ryk Modular

video upload by Cinematic Laboratory

"Night Rider is a quad resonant filter with a built in sequencer. It has four bandpass filters that can be used in parallel and serial configurations, a mono allpass filter in two flavors and an amazing karplus strong mode.
It works in many configurations, but it has a strong preference for more complex sources and abolutely shines with something big and polyphonic like Vector Wave or Knobula's Poly Cinematic. While this may seem as a 'too many options' module, you can easy find your way after getting lost in a patch or two. Absolutely stunning module."

1st Look At MJ's "Smooth Criminal" Bass

video upload by Anthony Marinelli Music

"This is our first look at the bass sound on 'Smooth Criminal' from Michael Jackson’s Thriller album. In this video, former New England Digital (N.E.D.) product specialist Kevin Maloney explains how he sampled a muted piano on the Synclavier that was later used as the key ingredient in the actual bass sound for the final recording session. Michael was looking for something unusual from Kevin and the piano sample performed out of range on the keyboard perfectly fit the request. Kevin breaks down that piano sample and demonstrates how some other components were later added for support such as a sampled Minimoog bass sound. A mock up of Synclavier drum samples similar to those used on the final version of the song are included in this video as accompaniment. Kevin also shows off some sequencer and sampling tricks that are particularly unique to the Synclavier.

Anthony's musical touch as both composer and performer is connected with some of the most influential creative minds over the last 40 years. He’s composed and conducted original orchestral scores for over 80 feature films including Young Guns, Internal Affairs, The Man From Elysian Fields, 15 Minutes and Planes, Trains & Automobiles, been commissioned by the Los Angeles Philharmonic for his symphonic work "In the Family Way", written over one thousand TV commercials in a myriad of musical styles, co-founded Levels Audio Post (LA's premiere post production facility) and performed and arranged on big-box-office films and influential hit records such as Michael Jackson's Thriller.

His extensive work as a young arranger, orchestrator and performer for Quincy Jones, Jack Nitzsche, Lamont Dozier, Arthur Rubenstein and Giorgio Moroder was vital in launching his own career. His early years pioneering modular analog synthesizers along with his wide-ranging music scholarship positioned Anthony at the center of the music technology revolution. He attended the University of Southern California School of Music as a piano and composition major.
