Lyra-8 // Nymphes // Slöer
video upload by Lesjamusic
"How on earth do you come down from playing the Royal Albert Hall? Clearly the answer is using @somasynths Lyra-8 and @Dreadbox-synths Nymphes to ascend to the heavens, together with @walrusaudioeffects Slöer to everything escape the atmosphere."

Wavetables Explained + How to get LoFi digital vibes
video upload by Starsky Carr
"Wavetable oscillators can be overlooked or misunderstood and sometimes they seem a little scary - especially as they're all different. Here I explain what wavetables are, how to use them, how to make the most of them and also why vintage wavetable synths sounded so lo fi.
so I demo how the lo-fi sounds are made, or why they are lo fi and where all the digital artefacts come from. Modern wavetable synths don't sound so grungy and crunchy as they've got plenty of processing power to do the myriad of calculations needed per note. Vintage synths like the PPG and original microwaves just didn't have the processing power,.
I'm using the new Waldorf Microwave 1 plugin here as it's got a lovely clear interface to show whats happening plus its been designed with all the 'flaws' or at least the limitations of the originals.
for patcehs, samples and... yes WAVETABLES..:

Lexicon PCM70 | Best bang for the buck reverb you could get in the 80s
video upload by Espen Kraft
"The Lexicon PCM70 was released in 1985. The same year as the more expensive 224X. The PCM70 was a budget alternative for expensive sounding lush reverbs and effects, even if it did cost over $2000 in the 80s. It also had MIDI and they made it respond to CC messages so you could control it in real time. This was very impressive. What set a good expensive reverb apart from more cheap ones was how the expensive reverbs effortlessly wrapped around the sound source in a majestic and expansive way, where the cheap ones wrapped itself around the source as wet snow or stink on stink.
Today, there are plugins that will destroy the PCM70 in many ways, but sometimes the oldies are goldies for a reason.
A big thanks to Anders Jensen for letting me have one of his PCM70s for this video. I've sold all my Lexicons now as I use Valhalla VintageVerb for easier and faster access to the Lexicon reverb sound in the DAW.

Ahead Of Its Time: Publison DHM89B2 (1978)
video upload by HAINBACH
"The French Publison DHM89B2 with its FB2000 keyboard controller is a stunning instrument for its time. Released first in 1978 (keyboard in 1980) it quickly made its way into the electronic music studios of the experimental avantgarde, such as INA GRM and SWR Experimentalstudio. For the time it offered incredible fidelity of pitch-shifting and sampling, surpassing the more famous Fairlight with ease. Pop stars like Prince used it extensively, and it became the go to vocal doubler / harmonizer for many years. This particular unit belonged to Manuel Göttsching (E2-E4) and resides now at the Akademie der Künste Berlin. Robert Henke (Monolake) and Dave Hilowitz joined me there to explore it."
