Diary #11 : Berlin School | Sound Design | Novation Summit

video upload by Synth Seeker

"Breaking down some sound design on the Novation Summit. I tend to make one patch and then create variations on that for different articulations (Lead/Pad/Arp).

Here's we'll walk through some spacey sounds I made on the Novation Summit. :)"

Oli Freke Announces Two New Synthesizer Books

Oli Freke, author of Synthesizer Evolution, has announced two new books in the series, "Vintage Synths" & "Drum Machines and Samplers".

Details on each follow.

Oli Freke, ‘Vintage Synths’

Following on from his 2021 book, Synthesizer Evolution: From Analogue to Digital (and Back), Oli Freke returns with a Synthesizer Evolution A6 zine series.

The invention of the synthesizer in the 1960s changed musical culture and music production forever, giving musicians whole new worlds of sound to play with. Vintage Synths celebrates that invention and its subsequent history by picking out 46 of the most influential, important or most interesting synths from 1939 – 1998. They each represent the introduction of a new technology, had particular impact, or maybe even formed the basis of entirely new genres.

Explore the most legendary synthesizers ever created, including the Minimoog, ARP 2600, Yamaha DX7, Roland Jupiter 8 and more, with detailed descriptions and the stories behind their development.

Oli Freke, ‘Drum Machines and Samplers’

Drum machines and samplers have something of a shared history and this zine celebrates their invention by picking out 46 of the most influential, important or most interesting from 1949 – 1996. Explore the most legendary drum machines and samplers ever created, including the Roland TR-808, Roland TR-909, Akai S1000, Fairlight CMI, Akai MPC60 and more, with detailed descriptions and the stories behind their development.

This video is about a few more ideas you can explore with Mutable Instruments Branches. Branches is a great module for adding probability and variation to your patches, but it can do so much more! Do you use Branches often? Do you have the hardware module (or a clone)?

Here are the patches from the video - https://drive.google.com/file/d/1_IbV...
