Bad Gear - SERUM

video upload by AudioPilz

"Welcome to Bad Gear, the show about the world's most hated audio tools. Today we are going to talk about SERUM. Is this cpu hungry software synth released by Steve Duda s company XFER the industry standard for wavetable synthesizer s, dubstep wubs & wobbles, EDM synth donks or are there better alternatives out there when it comes to modern VST instrument s. Is it too hard-sounding for analog synthesizer aficionados? Can it keep up with its competitors Phase Plant or Vital?"

[ELZ_1 play] SAND FLUTE - Experiments in creating a sound that is not flute-like

video upload by SONICWARE

"https://dr.yuendo.jp/pages/elz_1-play
Today I experimented with SAND FLUTE, SONICWARE's proprietary sound engine that extracts pitch components from noise to generate sound.
If ELZ_1 just extracted the pitch components normally, it would sound tasteless, like a measuring instrument, but we have devised an algorithm to create a musically pleasing sound.
I named it SAND FLUTE because it produces a flute-like sound in its normal state, but in this video I tried to create a sound that is not flute-like by adjusting various parameters.

Sandy Freckle

"Sandy Freckle was a wonderful villain played by actor Rock Hampton in the Kath & Kim series. He was sleazy and annoying but irresistible and funny at the same time, much like this module."

via nonlinear circuits

"In Australia, there is an entrepreneur called Dick Smith who ran a chain of electronic hobby stores in the 70s and 80s (now he makes breakfast cereal). He used to publish circuit books every year (and sell kits for them), I no longer have the issue but remember the finer points of a circuit for a burp/fart generator.

It was simply 3 transistor based multivibrators running at different frequencies. The trick was that they were loosely connected by low valued resistors causing them to influence each other. This would result in unpredictable sounds that rarely repeated. Don’t expect it to actually sound like gas escaping from an orifice, think of it is a random pulse/burst generator

This version has pots to adjust the frequencies of each section and an input for turning the sound on and off rather than a switch. It can be fed gates or envelopes, which give a more gradual onset and tail as the sound starts and drops off.

Feel free to build it with whatever capacitor values you like. The ones suggested on the PCB (and heard in the demo vid) get into audible frequencies, but in some ways it is more interesting to use larger valued capacitors to get just pulses that will then ping filters and phase-shifters.

It is also interesting to feed it audio rate signals and it becomes a waveshaper/distortion module.

New Roland GAIA 2: Creating and Explaining Synth Sounds 🎹🎛✨

video upload by MR TUNA Music

"Let's make some sounds from scratch on the all-new Roland GAIA 2 synthesizer. The GAIA 2 is a digital synth with hybrid architecture; It features one wavetable oscillator and two virtual-analog oscillators (including supersaw). The most interesting part is the Motion XY pad which allows you to record gestures and use it like a trackpad for the menu."

See the announcement post for the Roland GAIA 2 here.
