CLOUDY PATH // Cinematic Lo-fi Ambient // Novation Circuit Tracks

video upload by Invader 303

"A little ambient jam that was recorded while walking along the city's waterfront in cloudy weather. I appreciate the portability of my Circuit Tracks – it allows me to create music wherever I am. It also helps me when creating soundtracks for games and other projects.

For quickly capturing ideas, I’ve once again turned to the ‘Retro Futurism 3’ Sound Pack by ‪@A_Force_Truly_Evil‬. I love the pad and lead sounds in it. The retro yet modern vibe of the synthesizers in this pack inspires me to create minimalist ambient melodies. Highly recommended!

Hands-On FM Synthesis w/ TimSund & Stephan Schmitt

video upload by Anthony Marinelli Music

Also see FM Synthesis Simplified w/ Legends Stephan Schmitt & Manny Fernandez.

"This video complements our 'Demystifying FM' video. It showcases Tim Sund's innovative patches from his performance at Superbooth 2024. You'll learn how to create these one-of-a-kind FM synthesis sounds with musical examples performed by Tim.

We'll also explore the value of Stephan Schmitt's synthesizer philosophy, which parallels classical instrument design focused on performers.

This isn't a sponsored video; Hanging out with synth designers and specialist performers is enlightening to me. I hope you gain as much musical and sound design insight as I have making this video!"

Oberheim OB-X8 - FM Sound Bank

video upload by Polydata

"Pushing the classic Oberheim sound to new frontiers, the FM Sound Bank for the OB-X8 takes advantage of the expanded functionality of this synth to create complex and musical FM tones not previously possible in the OB series.

The key difference lies in the fact that you now have control over the FM index (amount). In the OB-X there was only an on/off button for X-Mod, which would engage FM at full blast. With exponential FM on an analog synth, this meant that the tuning of the voices wouldn't match, and there was no way to finely dial in the tuning of the oscillators. On the OB-X8 this fine tuning is possible, as well as precise control over the levels of the oscillators, for detailed timbrel blending.

A bank of 32 patches which all utilize the audio rate "X-Mod" functionality of the OB-X8. These patches place an emphasis on "digital" types of sounds, a new sonic frontier for an OB synth.

Store link: polydata.bigcartel.com

Patches load into the OB-SX Bank, groups 8-11. Requires firmware 2.0 or higher.

Recorded completely dry, with no effects or processing."

The Record Co features incredible recording and performance spaces plus a wonderfully-curated collection of vintage ARP synthesizers, including the only publicly-available ARP 2500 in the USA.

The Alan R. Pearlman Foundation’s mission is to make ARP’s classic and groundbreaking synthesizers widely available in order to inspire future generations of musicians. This Residency is a natural expression of our goals.

Through this program, the recipient will have the opportunity to not only take an important next step in their own career, but also to give something back to the music community.

Based on the submission form, the Foundation will select and support an artist in the creation of a special musical work incorporating the vintage ARP synthesizers at The Record Co. The end result could be a full album, a single song, a synth-backed video project, a series of synth tutorial videos, or another concept that inspires you to create.

HERE'S HOW THE PROGRAM WORKS!

The recipient will have access to The Record Co facilities and gear, the current ARPs for All Instrument collection, and 5 days of time. The space boasts an impressive collection of recording studios, production suites, sought-after equipment, and knowledgeable engineers to help amplify your creative process.

5 days of studio time at The Record Co
Hotel accommodations for the duration of the residency
Per diem for meals
Orientation at the studio
Educational materials from the ARP Foundation
Ongoing public recognition from The Record Co. and the Alan R. Pearlman Foundation
A fantastic creative experience with creative minds of every experience level

The recipient will be chosen by a committee of music industry leaders with notable achievements in the field of synthesis. During the review process, the identities of applicants will be hidden from the committee. The recipient will be selected based on their existing body of work, as well as on the project they intend to work on during their residency.

Octatrack & Gotharman's LD3 live techno teste

video upload by Meska

"Building a live setup is alway's compromise, size and complexity is alway a probleme. Here is my take for 2024/2025 with only the Octartrack and the Gotharma's LD3.
I work on a 1h liveset with this 2 machines and the limitation they bring.
put i'm pretty happy with the result, no external FX i use.

Thank you for watching.
