Spectravox | Traditional Vocoding & Vocoder Processing

video upload by Moog Music

"In this video we explore how to use Spectravox in Vocoder mode to process vocals.
We begin by hooking up a dynamic microphone (in this case the Shure SM58) to the program input and adjusting the preamplifier gain to an appropriate level. This allows us to create classic analog vocoder sounds with our voice and Spectravox’s internal carrier oscillator and white noise generator. We next look at how to use the program envelope follower and an attenuator to increase the intelligibility of Spectravox and capture the dynamics of our voice. Finally, we connect Matriarch to the carrier input of Spectravox to be able to vocode chords and polyphonic material with our voice."

Spectravox | Vocoder Processing

video upload by Moog Music

"In this video we explore how to use Spectravox in Vocoder mode to vocode a drum machine.

By using a drum machine (in this video the Roland TR-606) in place of a microphone as the program input to a vocoder, we can map the rhythmic and tonal information of that drum machine on to Spectravox’s carrier oscillator and white noise generator. Spectravox’s Spectral Shift function allows you to move all of the filters up and down while resonance will impart more colorful and metallic tones. In this video we look further at how to use the filter bank patch bay to rearrange the envelope follower outputs and control voltage inputs of the two filter banks inside Spectravox to scramble the frequency spectrum. We also look at how all those inputs and outputs can be combined with the additional patch points on Spectravox for creative and interesting modulation."

UDO Super 8 - Hazel Mills' First Impressions

video upload by UDO Audio

"Hazel Meets The Super 8

We sent Hazel one of our prototype builds of our new instrument, the Super 8. We wanted her to capture her first impressions of the synth, and take a little dive into the sonic possibilities, and I think we can all agree the sounds she built from scratch are nothing short of outstanding.

Oneiroi Jam - Befaco

video upload by Befacosynth

"Oneiroi is an ambient and drone-like soundscapes full voice.

At his core, there is a Wavetable/Supersaw, Sine Wave Oscillator and a joyful Looper. This is followed by an FX section featuring a Multimode filter, a Resonator, a Delay, and a Reverb.
Its randomizer creates instant patches at the touch of a button.
The Looper can record the external input or the output for 'Sound On Sound' looping.

A full-stereo synthesizer that easily creates dense atmospheres for hypnotic music or cinematic sound design. Featuring three oscillators, four effects, a looper, modulation with complex routing, and a randomizer."

SUPERBOOTH 2024: Elta Music - Solar 42 F

video upload by sonicstate

"At Superbooth 2024, Serge *from *Elta Music showcased the updated version of their popular Solar 42 synth, now dubbed *Solar 42F*. The main addition to this version is stereo distortion on the output, along with cosmetic updates like color-coded ports and firmware tweaks. According to *Serge*, these updates were made based on continuous refinement of the machine, with a focus on enhancing user experience. Despite not being a major overhaul, the changes are deemed very useful for users. All new Solars will be shipped in this updated version, including those with previously placed orders.

The Solar 42F features a streamlined mixer layout for easier navigation of voice volumes, along with the stereo distortion feature on the main output. The updated version will be the standard for all future shipments of the Solar 42, and with production underway, the new iteration promises to deliver an improved user experience without a price increase.

Solar 42 F Price: 1,800 plus VAT"

SUPERBOOTH 2024: PWM – Mantis

video upload by sonicstate

"At Superbooth 2024, we met up with Paul Whittington from PWM who presented the long-awaited Mantis synthesizer. The Mantis boasts a duophonic design with the capability to produce four fully formed voices, making it a potent polysynth. With 100 presets in each of its two banks, the Mantis offers a diverse range of sounds through its two filters which can be panned in the stereo field.

Mantis also includes onboard effects such as chorus and reverb, adding depth and character to its sonic capabilities, and can be powered via usb c. With MIDI control for every parameter and full-size MIDI connectivity, the Mantis was designed in collaboration with the late, great Chris Huggett, so it's bound to become a classic.

Mantis Available now. Price: 1,599 Euros 1,349 GBP 1,499 USD"
