Hainbach - Breve (Seil Records 061, 2024)

video upload by HAINBACH

"Breve is Hainbach’s eighth release on Seil Records. It is an album that manifests the Berlin based artist’s love for vintage electronic gear like few others - and creates a world of dense soundscapes like only Hainbach can built them. At the core of Breve lies the Ondioline, a tube based key instrument from the 1930s that is considered to be the ancestor of todays synthesizers. Paired with a handful of other analog synths and recorded in single takes straight to tape,

Breve is raw and beautiful; intense, yet calming.
You can feel the heat generated by the equipment, the hands-on approach and the pure enjoyment of living in each sonic moment throughout the album. The 10 tracks that make up Hainbach’s new album range from intimate to vast, from fragile to walls of sound. Often rhythmic, always free. Cherishing each fleeting sound that is captured by the tape machine.

The result is an album that celebrates pure analog sound. Best enjoyed on vinyl, cassette or on stage. Breveis released on September 17th, 2024 via Seil Records on Vinyl, Cassette Tape and Digital (Downloads are free/name-your-price for the first two weeks) via Bandcamp. Streaming platforms will follow on in October."

video upload by xu.sounddesign - dirk rohde

"This is soundpack 'DAWN' with 64 ambient patches designed for the Roland JD-800.

All in all there are 64 ambient sounds in the package with smoking pads, grainy strings, organic drones and deep textures. No external effects were used in the demos. All effects are internal effects of the Roland JD-800.

No other hardware was used. No compressor, no limiter, no equalizer, nothing, but the pure JD-800.

I designed all the sounds myself.If you´re interested in these 64 sounds, please send me an email (xu.sounddesign@gmx.net)."

L-1 Filters. First impressions. 24dB LP mode.

video upload by Aleksei Laman

"L-1 filters collection.

First impression on new L-1 filters. Now only 24dB LP mode, single saw wave input.

All filters are built from identical blocks but with different architectures (topologies). Building blocks are: L-1 original Discrete Blacksea gain cells (VCAs), and silver-mica capacitors (best capacitors for filters).

Filters:
DD VCF - Discrete Dual. Two 12dB State-Variable filters in series give 24dB/oct filtration.
DM VCF - Discrete Mulimode. Using double gain cells in State-Variable topology it gives 24dB/oct filtration.
DP VCF - Discrete Pole. Four poles filter gives 6, 12, 18, 24 dB LP outputs. Mixing the outputs it gives BP, HP, N (notch), DN (double notch) filtration.
DS VCF - Discrete Sallen-Key. Switching system (12 electronic switches used) switches between LP, BP and HP topologies.
