Moog Mother-32: Melodic Patterns/Sequences. No Talk Demo Jam
video upload by Anton Anru
"Melodic Patterns is a collection of 64 sequences suitable for different genres like Techno, House, Progressive, Deep, Trance, Retrowave, Synthwave, Lounge, Downtempo, Chill Out, Cinematic, Breaks, Drum’n’Bass, etc. The soundset contains a wide range of patterns: dense, with all steps active, or sparse, having many empty steps and giving space for other instruments. Some patterns are made in Major scale, others - in Minor.
💾 Get the soundset: https://antonanru.sellfy.store/p/moth...
Each pattern is thoroughly set with parameters such as Gate Length, Ratchet, Glide, and Accent. The length of the sequences varies from 16 to 32 steps.
By default, the sequences are in the C4 Minor scale. However, you may transpose them to octaves, or you can adjust the root note in semitones using the onboard keyboard to fit any scale. Additionally, transposition during playback can be used to create progressions.
Moog Mother-32 doesn't have the import/export feature. The only way to share a melodic line is old good Patterns Sheets - a picture, where all parameters are put to the picture, and then, a pattern is recreated manually by following the settings on the sheets.
Thus, the soundset is presented in the form of a PDF file. You can see an example of a pattern in the video or on the product page, the picture is attached.
There are audio examples of all patterns inside the folder with the soundset. The timbre in the examples is kept simple to avoid disturbing the perception with excessive modulations. The examples' tempo is 110 BPM. You may import them into your DAW and add a straight 4/4 kick pattern to have a rhythmic reference. After you've programmed a pattern, you can then set the patch to any complexity level.
The soundset doesn't include Mother-32 patches/timbres/front-panel settings. Patterns only.
You may find Mother-32 patches on my website as separate products.
You can use the patterns as ready-to-go material for your tracks or jams. Alternatively, you can go further by taking them as a starting point. Decorate the sequences with the features offered by Mother-32: play with pattern length (end point), direction, rotation (shifts the starting point back and forward), swing amount and division, tempo division if you use an external clock, momentary actions like hold, accent, ratchet, and others, reset, and, of course, you can change patterns by muting/adding steps or changing notes. Thus, a single sequence can produce many 'siblings' in real time."

"Roland Jupiter-8 for sale. Meticulously serviced over way too many hours to be better than the rest. We don't cut corners here - the reliability of our instruments is our top priority, so we invest all the time love and money it takes to get things right. As a result, this instrument works like new and sounds incredible! This one's pre-MIDI, but we can install an Encore Electronics MIDI retrofit at an additional cost. This is an earlier 12 bit unit. Tuning was improved in later 14 bit units. If you'd like this unit converted to a 14 bit one for an additional fee, please contact us to discuss."

"Here is a restored Jupiter 8, all the power supply capacitors have been replaced as well as the transformer with one manufactured by ROSEN SOUND. The CPU circuit has been replaced with a model manufactured by SYNTHWORKS and the control switch for the LFO/Modulation knob has also been replaced. The controls are in good condition and operate smoothly, and the dust covers have been replaced. There is a modification on the back that I personally never use, but from what I can see it is connected with each of the controller boards to the VCO LFO MOD section and the VCA MOD section. I have seen other JP8s with the same modification in the past but I never asked what it was for exactly. Of course for a 40 year old synthesizer there is some cosmetic wear, but it is possible to replace the side panels with new ones and the heat sink as well. The front panel was damaged at the hatch and rear, but can be dented quite easily and repainted."

Why The King Korg Neo is Special (also let's make a patch from scratch on it)
video upload by Oscillator Sink
"The King Korg Neo is a synthesizer which is special to me.
In this video I’m going to explain why that is, talk about some of the things that I enjoy about this instrument and touch on some things which I think could be better, and then explore the sound and workflow of the synthesis engine by way of making a patch from scratch.
Chapters:
00:00:00 Intro
00:00:40 Why the KKN is special to me
00:04:02 Underestimating the synth
00:05:24 It's multi-timbral and that's good
00:06:33 Exploring the powerful oscillators
00:32:15 The filter is great (but could be even better)
00:36:37 Oscillator drift makes everything better
00:38:06 It's proper stereo
00:40:04 The stuff I don't like
00:40:15 The V-Patch is limited
00:43:07 The reverbs are disappointing
00:46:08 Let's make a patch from scratch
01:03:56 Outro"
