Behringer on Moog Layoffs

This one was shared by Behringer on Facebook. Note Moog is not out of business, see Moog's statement here, so the image shared by Behringer on the left is a bit misleading. [Update: the image is actually from the video below that Behringer refers to. Behringer did not create the image. Thx to @uniquewerkx for the heads up.] That said here's what they had to say.

"Usually we just ignore such inflammatory videos. However, we have decided to respond this time, as it provides a perfect example of why we have previously emphasized that some influencers prioritize clickbait and disparagement over delivering accurate information.

In reality, in May of this year, Mike Adams, the CEO of Moog, reached out to Uli to propose selling Moog. Both individuals have had a longstanding friendly relationship. Therefore, Mike reached out to us first and shared all the financials as well the company’s challenges.

Mike's decision to sell Moog was influenced by his advanced age and serious mistakes made on the supply chain side. The company had purchased excessive inventory, leading to significant cashflow constraints.

While we believe Moog is a great brand, we declined the purchase due to our low-price business model not aligning with the luxury model Moog is pursuing.

Blaming us for Moog's struggles is as reasonable as blaming Yamaha for the bankruptcy of Sequential, Oberheim, ARP and Moog in the 1980s when the DX7 and other digital synths were introduced to the market.

We wish Moog and its people all the best and believe they have a great future. Both brands serve a very different customer base that can perfectly coincide.

Our focus will always be on creating highly affordable products so everyone can discover the world of music. Our mission is to empower the musicians that don’t have deep pockets.

As always, we encourage you to conduct your own research and form your own opinion🙂. Mark."

Bastl Basil Delay Module - Video Manual and Patch Examples

video upload by Oscillator Sink

"Basil, from Bastl, is a stereo time-based effect module that runs on their Pizza platform (if you own a Pizza you can turn it into Basil via a firmware update).

It is, capable of traditional delay and echo sounds as you might expect, but through its wide ranging controls, CV, and a selection of parameters which modify the behavior of the two delay lines you can find chorus, flanging, comb filtering, pseudo reverbs, lo-fi effects and more - and all in stereo.

In this video I've aimed for the first part to act as a kind of video manual going over each of the features in turn. That's followed by a number of example patches which can hopefully show the module in context, showing some of its versatility.

Basil is a module with a lot of hidden depth, so this video is, predictably, pretty long. To help you navigate to the material you're interested in, I've added extensive chapter markers so feel free to jump around to find the info and sounds you're after.

Transparency notice: the Basil module was provided to me by Bastl for free for the purposes of making content about it. I was not otherwise paid and Bastl did not request, nor were they given any editorial oversight."

This compact desktop version of the Trigon 6 packs a powerful punch, offering three oscillators and a distinctive Dave Smith ladder filter. Designed for those seeking a space-saving solution without compromising on sound quality, the Trigon 6 Desktop retains all the features of its larger sibling, including patch recall, a versatile effects section with various modulation possibilities, and the distinctive feedback control that allows you to sculpt sub-harmonic richness.

Trigon 6 Desktop Price: $2,499

2. Synthfest UK 2023: Calc And the Prophet X

At Synthfest UK 2023, we caught up with Calc from Sequential, and he gave us the lowdown on the Prophet X. Now, you might be thinking, Prophet X? Haven't we seen that before? Well, you're right, but this hybrid instrument has been quietly making waves in the music world. It combines digital and analog elements, with digital oscillators and a unique twist in the form of multi-sample-based instruments. Yes, you heard that right, it's not just your run-of-the-mill synth; it's a full-on sampler too, boasting an impressive 50 gigabytes of memory for your custom samples. You can treat it like a rompler, a sample player, or even use those samples as oscillators, creating a whole new realm of sonic possibilities.

Plus, it's packed with stereo goodness, allowing you to explore a wide soundstage with ease. It's not your typical synth, and that's what makes its a favourute of Calc's

ESK - Waldorf Kyra 8 Layer Patch

video upload by Metunar

"I made 2 Waldorf Kyra Synthesizer demos with 8 layer patches. It’s the same single sound on all layer, but with different detune and pan settings. First you hear the single sound solo, then the 8 layer patch of this sound. I also show how easy you can chance parameters on one layer which is then directly effecting all layers. So the Kyra you can use as MPE synthesizer, even if MPE is not implemented.
All sounds and FX are from the Kyra.
Live recording without mastering.
