Groove Synthesis | 3rd Wave | Patch Deconstruction | Attempt #1

video upload by Tim Shoebridge

"Here's another quick look at the mighty 3rd Wave from Groove Synthesis. Today I explain how I put together a simple multi-part patch. I'm pretty sure I will do this approach for more patches in the future, hence the "#1" !"

Make Noise Easel: 0coast 0ctrl Strega Dark Noise Modular Jam

video upload by Anton Anru

"I'm having a great time exploring the possibilities of the Make Noise modular system, consisting of Strega, 0-Coast, and 0-Ctrl. While patching, I encountered some clicks, and instead of eliminating them, I embraced them and made them the focal point of my performance. Combined with other noises and effects, these clicks now resemble the sound of rain, creating a unique atmospheric quality. Additionally, I've discovered unexpected rhythmic elements that emerged in the midst of my jamming session. These rhythmic parts have opened up a new realm for experimentation and tweaking.

Moog Sound Studio, Make Noise, Ableton Live Ambient Jam


"Another episode of the Moog and Make Noise modular friendship. This time, Ableton Live and Push are added. Ableton produces bass, bells, strings, background noise FX.
The jam starts softly, and gradually the beat is added. It's transformed from DFAM bleeps.

Arturia Acid V: Factory 303 Patterns/Presets Walkthrough

video upload by Anton Anru

"A brand new 303 emulation by Arturia! Besides classical stuff, Acid V gives much more: Sub Oscillator, Advanced Sequencer, Polymetric Mode for step parameters, Arp Mode, Patterns Generator, Modulations, Effects, and many more. The factory presets collection is super diverse: there are classical 303 sequences, experimental dark noisy tones, ambient-style atmospheric melodies.
It's a huge fun to play with this plugin. I use Minilab 3 to run the patterns and tweak the parameters.

The Secret of Great DX7 Brass: For the DX11 also

video upload by Off The Matrix

"Yamaha's vintage FM synths are capable of amazing emulations of acoustic brass. To get the most out of a brass patch, you'll need to know how it was designed. The dynamic horn was setup for melodic lines but by changing settings it can be used for different phrasings. The video covers using the additional waveforms of the DX11 for creating trombone and trumpet patches. The importance of equalization is also covered.

FLUX prototype demo (SOMA lab)

video upload by Vlad Kreimer

"FLUX brings forth the musicality and expression of classical instruments, such as violin or vocals, enriched by new timbres and the flexibility of postmodern instruments, harnessing the power of current technology.

FLUX is a high end professional synthesizer with expressive possibilities, an innovative interface design with top quality digital-to-analog converters and analog components.

FLUX features a unique continual touchless keyboard that offers seamless control over a number of sound parameters without quantisation.

In many ways, FLUX is inspired by the Theremin, which offers the unique opportunity of controlling sound by moving your hands in the air without touching any object, all of which lends the performance a special plasticity and beauty.

Unlike the Theremin which works by virtue of the capacitive coupling of hands and antennae, FLUX is based on magnetic principles. Two magnetic bows are pressed between your fingers, and the interface is a multipolar magnetic sensor, registering the bows’ positions and movements. The X coordinate of the artist’s right-hand bow controls the note’s pitch, while the Z coordinate controls volume. The left-hand bow’s X, Y and Z coordinates control the various synthesis parameters.

Since a magnet has two poles, FLUX not only detects the bows’ spatial coordinates, but also the bows’ angle. This means that flipping the right-hand bow on the Y-axis changes the octave, which allows a range of six continuous octaves without transposing the keyboard. With transposition you can get a range from sub-bass all the way to ultrasonic. The left-right tilting of the right-hand bow on the X-axis controls two independent modulation parameters.

The left-hand bow controls the timbres. The timbral sensor, placed in the left part, has six poles, and independently registers positive and negative magnetic fields. This lets you change which parameters you control by flipping the bow, allowing you to control up to twelve independent sound parameters. Together with the pitch, volume and two additional tilt parameters on the right-hand bow, you have access to a total of sixteen sonic controls that you can use during performance, without ever touching the surface of the instrument.

Summing up the concept of FLUX: the most direct and immediate way to play with a large number of synthesis parameters in a musical way, creating a dynamic timbre composition. Different synthesis algorithms (engines) will be created as complete musical instruments for direct timbral control. All engines will be available in a single firmware and any engine can be launched in a fraction of a second. Presets will allow the user to save and recall the entire state of the synth including engine and all tunings.

We developed FLUX with the aim to create a modern instrument for academic music, offering powerful sonic tools such as distortion, complex FM and physical modelling of non-existent, surrealistic musical instruments. We invite modern performers and composers to use FLUX in their work.

FLUX works in monophonic, duophonic and polyphonic modes. Staccato-enabling and quantisation modes are available. The quantization function has an adjustment parameter for vibrato. FLUX has a stable, even, and clearly marked note scale. This makes FLUX much easier to learn and to intone cleanly than on the Theremin.

FLUX’s synthesis is DSP-based. It features built-in spatial FX. The digital-to-analog converters and the analog circuit are based on our in-house designs using Hi-End principles.

FLUX is under development. We will inform the community about the progress."
