Circuit Tracks though Kaoss Replay (New Found Kaoss)


video upload by HardtekStudios

"Finally putting the Korg Kaoss Replay through the Real World Testing! The Novation Circuit Tracks is routed into the Kaoss Replay. It is mainly used for the FX processor, but I have added a 7th track with the little chiptune melody samples I used. I recorded the jam into the Zoom L-12 and touched it up in Logic. Do you want to see more gear processed by the Kaoss Replay?"

3. Layering tones with LIVEN Ambient Ø



Press release follows:

Soundscape Synthesizer LIVEN Ambient Ø Immersive Ambient Generator

4 layers of tone and texture̶Drone, Pad, Atmos, and Noise̶merge to generate resonance and transformation.

Blendwave Modulation Synthesis

Newly developed synth-engine with 6 structures, designed to create undulating and fluctuating tones.

Noise and Space

The Noise layer processes 8-second stereo sampling loops with noise blending and pitch modulation.

Extensive Effects Section

9 types of lush Reverb with shimmer, plus 6 types of effects including Tape Delay and Master Chorus.

Sequencer on Each Layer

Records performances, notes probabilities, and evolving tonal changes.

Immersive Ambient Generator
Ambient Ø (zero) is incredibly easy to use. Start by playing a tone from one layer using the note hold function. While listening closely, simply tweak the knobs to modify the tone and add other layers to shape a pleasing sound.

Blendwave Modulation Synthesis
We conducted extensive research into creating undulating and fluctuating tones for Ambient Ø, resulting in the development of a new wavetable-based synthesis.
Blendwave Modulation Synthesis combines 6 unique structures with 32 WAVEs featuring complex harmonic transitions, making it easy to create powerful low drones, lush pads, and transparent pizzicatos, perfect for ambient music.

4 knobs / 8 parameters offer a wide range of tone creation.

A WAVE contains 128 harmonic tables, allowing for diverse tonal changes such as moving from basic waveforms to complex harmonics. The WAVE is
represented by a yin-yang icon, with the yin representing moves in the reverse direction through the tables during modulation.

6 Structures
Each structure has a different number of oscillators and modulation circuits. ATMOS 1 applies ring modulation, while ATMOS 2 applies FM modulation.

Noise and Space
The Noise layer includes 8 specially selected nature sounds, offering noise blending, pitch adjustment and modulation to infuse unique spatial characteristics.
Additionally, it allows for up to 8 seconds of stereo sampling from the line input, letting you create personalized textures.

Extensive Effects Section
Ambient Ø is equipped with 9 types of lush reverb, each offering unique spatial dimensions and brightness settings. You can individually adjust the reverb send and shimmer send (for layering octaves) for each layer.

In addition to the reverb, the Ambient Ø offers
an effect unit with Tape Delay, Reverse Delay, and 4 master effects; Overdrive, Bit/Rate Crush, Tilt EQ, and Stereo Chorus.

Sequencer on Each Layer
You can not only layer the four tones, but each layer also includes a sequencer that allows you to record keyboard performances.
Furthermore, you can record changes in numerous parameters, including level, pan, and filter movement over time.


16 Ambient Sound Pattern Palettes, crafted by expert sound designers
No need to start from scratch. Choose a palette that fits your mood, start playing tones, tweak the knobs, and layer them following your heart. Thus, your inner thoughts and emotions will be crafted into sound.

Play On The Go: Portable, Built-in speaker, and Battery-powered
Leave your usual workspace and try using Ambient Ø in your living room or outdoors. As its evolving sounds mixes with the surrounding environmental noises, you are likely to experience genuine Ambient Music.

"The Crumar Cougar is a super rare suitcase-style drawbar organ, manufactured in Italy. This one—dressed in white, which is even rarer than the red enclosure—is vibey, versatile, and a great textural addition to any rig. Watch Joe Shadid experiment with it, and head to Reverb for more [here].

Axel F : Theme From Beverly Hills Cop : Recreated on Vintage Synthesizers


video upload by Luke Million

"I'm revisiting one of my favourite movie themes of all time composed by Harold Faltermeyer with a full length cover of The Theme from Beverly Hills Cop - 'Axel F'.

In the original, Harold used a Jupiter 8, JX-3P, Moog Model 15 and DX7 paired with a Linndrum.

I have stayed close to the original but have incorporated some other of my favourite synthesizers to give it my own flare.

Synths used in order of appearance:

Roland Jupiter 8
Oberheim OB8
Moog Multimoog
Roland Jupiter 4
Sequential Prophet 5
Roland Juno 6
Yamaha DX7 Mark II
Yamaha DX7 Mark I

Red Ekkko. The Ugliest Vintage Echo Modeller is the Most Beautiful

video uploads by Element433 (a.k.a. Pere Villez)

Playlist:

01. The Ugliest Most Beautiful Free Stereo Delay Modeller Ever.
Red Ekkko is an echo emulator laboratory that models a variety of historic echo types. Wire, tape, BBD and even early grainy digital delays. It is pure stereo with a huge warm enveloping sound that closely captures the perceptual characteristics of each type, rather than a precise mathematical model. You can dial in every defect, degradation and add buckets of warmth and charm but with a deep stereo field. The system is operated using standard cheap MIDI controllers.

Not only is it a studio audio processor but it can also be played like an instrument so that those endless classic BBD feedback tails can be tuned to a MIDI keyboard.

The best part. It will be free.

This demo shows how it can use Karplus strong delay times with random cross delayed feedback to emulator chaotic resonators. In essence a stereo flanger with chaotic behaviour. Inspired by the SOST Studio flanger made by Van Daal Electronics cs

Stay tuned for more demos and release date.
02. The Ugliest Most Beautiful Delay Modeller Ever. Saturation Test. Drums
Second of the test demos of Red Ekkko. I'm using a very short delay and pushing the pregain of the saturation. The cross feedback gives it lots of space and syrupee crunch.
03. The Ugliest Most Beautiful Delay Modeller Ever. Warm and Singing Delay
Third of the demos of Red Ekkko. This time, sweet, spacious echoes and playing the echo time with a MIDI keyboard.

I seem to have broken a couple of minor things, whilst repairing others, so there is a bit of crackle on the feedback now and again and the µdropout circuit seems to be clicking into the main signal, even when off, so need to fix that next. It's an endless rabbit hole but I think I can see the light.
04. The Ugliest Most Beautiful Delay Modeller Ever. Tape Drop-Out. Bags of Age.
In this demo I show the micro and macro dropout and how they are used to create a sense of age in the sound. It also demonstrates how you can use the µDropout to create subtle Ring Modulation and macro dropout to create vintage harmonic tremolo.

The 1978 Oberheim OB-1 – An Underrated Enigma.


video upload by GForce Software

"It’s incredible that the Oberheim OB-1 has remained under the radar for so long. The Oberheim OB-1 holds a special place in the history of synthesisers. Launched in 1978, it was the world’s first programmable monophonic synthesiser. Designed by Tom Oberheim and his team, this revolutionary instrument brought the power of preset memory to the world of analogue synthesis, allowing musicians to easily store and recall their unique sounds.

Despite its groundbreaking features and historical significance, the OB-1 has remained somewhat under the radar compared to other classic synthesisers like the Minimoog. However, those who have experienced its capabilities know that the OB-1 is a true gem. This instrument delivers a sound as beefy and robust as the legendary Minimoog, yet it can get as aggressive as the MS20. It strikes a perfect balance, sitting sonically between these two icons.

In a superbly crafted documentary produced and narrated by the esteemed Dave Spiers, the history and uniqueness of the Oberheim OB-1 are brought to life in a way that is both enlightening and deeply engaging."
