How to do awesome arpeggios - Tangerine Dream style
video upload by Espen Kraft
"How to do arpeggios and arpeggiated parts in the style of 70s and 80s Tangerine Dream? Blend different time signatures, use a lot triplet and dotted delays and plenty of reverb. Play some arps by hand and use automated arps together. Mash it up, use your creativity!
If any of you uber-Tangerine Dream fans read this; this video is made to inspire some creativity. It's not meant as a remake of any TG track in particular. I know how obsessed die-hard fans can be with stuff presented online. I'm well aware of their modular setups and custom made hardware.

video upload by Anton Anru
"🌃 'Dark City' is a collection of 50 performances for the Korg Wavestate synthesizer. It includes: 9 Pads, 7 Drones, 7 Textures, 8 FX-Drone-Texture Sequences, 8 Strings, 5 Percussion/Drums, 6 Keys.
The bank of presets spans a broad spectrum of timbres: dark, noisy, lo-fi, vintage/retro, cold, distant, dull, big, massive, epic, bright, orchestral, distorted, metallic, tense, atonal, non-harmonic, fx-like, soundscape, evolving, moving, sweeping.
📦 Get the soundset and build your own Dark City:
https://antonanru.sellfy.store/p/wave...
🌌 The soundset is inspired by sci-fi movies, soundtracks, dystopian stories, urban landscapes, noise ambient albums, experimental modern art and sound design.
🧿 Perfect for genres like Dark, Noise, Ambient, New Age, Cinematic, IDM, Electronica, Dub, Deep, Techno, Industrial, Minimal, Psy, Trance, Garage, Progressive, Dubstep, 2-Step, Experimental, Breaks, D'n'B, etc.
These timbres also work well for movie soundtracks, games, apps, digital art, sound art lives, VR landscapes - anywhere a dark atmosphere is needed.
🔮 Craft an entire ambient or cinematic track with just a few (or just one!) performances. Or, create a couple of albums with the entire soundset.
🎛 Each Performance features 4 Layers that can be mixed using the Vector Envelope joystick. Explore each layer individually or blend them for unique combinations.
🕹 The Vector Envelope joystick is, by default, in the middle position - all layers are mixed equally. You can also disable some layers by double-clicking on layers' (A, B, C, D) buttons.
🟤 ModWheel opens all layers' filters, enhancing the brightness of the sound.
The presets follow a unified (with some exceptions) mapping system for the 8 Mod Knobs/Macros:

"Exploring using a mic on the shakuhachi going to and envelope follower. Breaking down this patch and, yep, actually playing the shakuhachi rather than hitting it over on my Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/synthtodd"

"Syncing up the Buchla Music Easel with the @WeAreElektron Model Cycles, precarious techno ensues. Recorded in mono, so I dropped it into @bitwig Studio to add some stereo effects with simple multi-band separations."
Rare ARP 2600 Blue Marvin Jam (w/ Cameron Graves)
video upload by Anthony Marinelli Music
"It's always fun to perform with my good friend Cameron Graves aka "The Planetary Prince". I was introduced to Cameron and his brother Taylor Graves in 2008 by Jada Pinkett Smith when we co-scored her film, The Human Contract. We've remained friends and musical brothers ever since. We hope you enjoy this music that we created right before the cameras started rolling . We intend to make more of these synth jam videos in the near future.
We're playing the solos on an extremely rare ARP 2600 "Blue Marvin" which was a prototype for the Tonus ARP 2600 that actually went into production. The rest of the synths include a later model gray faced ARP 2600, an orange faced ARP 2600, the Korg ARP 2600 M, Moog Minimoog, Korg MS-20 and ARP Omni String Synthesizer. The drums are performed by my engineer Ben Rachlis on a vintage LinnDrum the he is processing through The OTO Biscut, Bim, Bam and Boom.
Please remember to like and subscribe to these videos. It would mean a lot to me and my dedicated and enthusiastic crew. Thank you to all for your support and inspiring comments!
