Serge New Timbral Oscillator (NTO) | Tutorials | Episode 05

video upload by Cinematic Laboratory

"I did my very best to remain objective and compared the NTO with simple basic sounds to my favorite VCO - the MakeNoise DPO - and the digital perfection of the Schlappi Three-Body. The NTO has been around since 1976 and represents the origins of modern synthesis. I just learned about it this year, so better late than never. It's surrounded by praise to the level of 'hard to believe'.

I used reverb on the raw sounds, and I found out that a digital effect can easily ruin the analog experience. I used ALM MFX, and it sounds great with NTO. But it sounds terribly aliased with the DPO and I wasn't happy with the Three-body result either. I wouldn't have known with raw sounds and I would not be able to share it. I've patched DPO a thousand times and it sounds clean and woody in the MakeNoise universe, but the raw waveforms are far from perfect and there's a certain bite. In this video, you may also learn that every VCO carries the signature of it's maker. DPO sounds like Tony Rolando. The 259 sounds like Buchla. Cs-L sounds like Jason Lim. Three-Body sounds like Schlappi. The NTO sounds like Serge, and now I have a new personal analog favorite.

The NTO is pure sophistication. I can say this both objectively (backed up by history and other reviews) and subjectively (it melts your heart). In the end it's just a VCO, which is about 10% of your whole patch. In many occasions, any quality VCO will be enough. But if you're looking for something special, this may be it. But your own personal opinion and taste will always be more important than mine!

You will be listening to analog through MFX AD/DA and my DAW's AD/DA. It's impossible to really listen to analog on YouTube but the DAW captures analog very well. There are plenty of raw sound NTO videos on youtube, so if you need to deepen your interest, please do some research. I've linked to an interview with Serge, where he explains a few things. It's a privilege to be able to hear him talk about it."

gen one (Cycling '74 M driving Korg OASYS PCI on OS9 G4 Mac)

video upload by Analog Industries

"Tuning my OS 9 music machine; playing with Cycling '74's excellent (and first, I think?) generative music application, M, driving the Korg OASYS PCI card. The card is running two virtual analog synths and a 2 OP FM synth, along with a hall reverb and Dan Phillips' excellent SD3000 emulation. The audio is recorded directly from the analog output of the card."

NGEN 1.2 Demo #1 - Garage [Sounds Only]

video upload by Spektro Audio

"This is an edited version of one of the NGEN demos originally recorded for the NGEN 1.2 update video: [posted here]

In this demo, we're using NGEN to create a UK Garage-inspired song using multiple NGEN generators and Ableton Live 12.

NGEN is connected via USB to the computer and we've set each instrument track in Live to receive MIDI from a different MIDI Channel coming from NGEN.

The main drums are being sequenced by DrumGen (using the new Garage template) while the other tracks (bass, chord samples, and percussive synth) are sequenced by the ACDGEN and Arper generators. During the performance, we're also switching between previously generated patterns and generating completely new patterns using the Pattern Generation feature.

NGEN is a unique 16-track MIDI sequencer design in São Paulo / Brazil that lets you combine multiple algorithmic / generative generators and MIDI FXs to sequence multiple hardware or software MIDI instruments.
