Behringer MS5 // Initial Impressions and Review

video upload by Starsky Carr

"Behringer has done it again and recreated a vintage classic with the MS-5. This time it's their take on the Roland SH-5. It was announced a while back and pre-orders were taken in April. It arrived this morning so here's my first impression and overview.

... and theres a lot more to it than it first appears!"

Sequential Circuits Six-Trak with Stereoping controller

video uploads by batchas

Use the player controls to skip around. Some great demos in the 2nd video.

"I made a one hour session yesterday to check the Six-Trak that I am selling with the Stereoping controller and recorded 12 videos, trying different settings.
As usual after trying a machine I didn’t play for so long, I think I should keep it cause it sounds so
I checked and cleaned everything, though I have no space anymore to keep this.
It’s a shame having instruments and not playing them. That’s why I’m letting go on several machines I do never use."

Serge Medusa / Subharmonic Oscillator Impressions

video upload by Serge Modular | Random*Source

"Medusa combines two of Serge's latest inventions - the Subharmonic Oscillator and the new VCFX filter - both designed by Serge in 2023 - to carry you to unchartered sonic territories. The Subharmonic Oscillator comprises 7 voices (pulse waves), each voice providing pulse width modulation or subharmonic division as well as 1V/Octave inputs and an individual output. The precision of these voices (with excellent 1V/Oct tracking and temperature stability) in combination with a global Spread control and various FM inputs opens up an enormous sonic range from massive unisono sounds to dissonant, orchestra-style textures. Here a couple of patches using Medusa as sound source with Edelweiss III and sometimes a MicroFreak as keyboard and/or an SEQ8 sequencer.

Patches:

00:00 Intro / Heart of Darkness
03:30 Time to Move
05:06 Let's Go Up
05:36 String Me Up
07:59 Black Hawk
08:32 World War Z
14:31 Illusory Lightness
15:53 Tsahal and Farther South
19:32 Approaching Panama
20:13 Reliving the Future
21:25 End of Days"

Dr. Endo explores LIVEN Ambient Ø - #4

video upload by SONICWARE

"LIVEN Ambient Ø | Soundscape Synthesizer
https://sonicware.jp/pages/liven-ambient

Chris Lody (@ChrisLodyMusic) , a sound wizard I genuinely trust, created an amazing sound of the Indian instrument, Tanpura. It was so beautiful that I had to jam with it today. I thought the tanpura sound would also fit perfectly with the world of LIVEN Ambient Ø.

In the second half, I got creative by grouping every 4 steps and making the sequences trigger randomly.

Yu Endo


サウンド魔術師のChris Lody (@ChrisLodyMusic) がインドの楽器タンプーラのサウンドを作ってくれて、それがとても素敵で、ChrisのタンプーラサウンドとLIVEN Ambient Øの世界観が良い感じにマリアージュするんじゃないかとジャムってみました。

後半では、4ステップ毎にグルーピングして、そのグループのシーケンスがランダムに発動するよう工夫しています。
