Heritage Modular - Making of front panels - step#1


video upload by f1oat3d

"The automagic process for the generation of the Heritage Modular V2 front panels.
As I am moving from 3D printing to aluminium, my old OpenScad scripts have been converted to Python. The new script is able to generate SVG for laser engraving, and STEP for 3D modeling and CNC milling, and STL pour mockup 3D printing.

Ambient w/ Monome Grid 128 & grainfields Max for Live | A Voice beyond Time 2025-02-02 by atnr


video upload by atnr

"A piece created using the Monome Grid 128 and ‪@Ableton‬ Max for Live. Audio and synth sounds, stretched by a granular synthesizer, are layered together.

The samples include water sounds, synthesizer tones, vocals, and data noise. Using grainfields, the sounds are repeated and stretched to generate a unique character.

On the Monome, I adjust the sample playback and modify the playback positions.

Cracklebox (Kraakdoos) : With Analog Resonator, Granular & Delay : Vaemi (Standalone Synthesizer)


video upload by Vaemi

"Cracklebox (Kraakdoos) : With Analog Resonator, Granular & Delay : Vaemi (Standalone Synthesizer)

Kraakdoos (Cracklebox)

The Kraakdoos, also known as the Cracklebox, is an experimental electronic musical instrument first developed by Michel Waisvisz in the 1970s. This device makes interacting with electronic circuits fun and unconventional, and is played through its touch-sensitive surfaces. When you complete the circuit with your fingertips, it starts producing sound, with the tone, intensity, and rhythm changing according to your touch.

This modern version designed by Vaemi presents the classic Cracklebox concept with an innovative approach. The Kraakdoos serves as a creative tool in sound design, appealing to both musicians and those interested in experimental sounds.

The Kraakdoos, aka Cracklebox, uses the classic LM709 op-amp, which is now only available from a limited number of manufacturers. This component plays a crucial role in shaping the device’s characteristic tone and unique sound palette, providing a truly one-of-a-kind audio experience.

Features
Transformer-Isolated Line Output: The line-out connection is equipped with transformer isolation, ensuring signal isolation for cleaner sound transmission and professional-grade noise reduction.
Speaker and External Output Options: Option for external speaker use or external line output.
Touch Controls: The device responds dynamically to user touch, generating unique sounds.

Revived with Vaemi's design, the Kraakdoos offers an unforgettable experience in the world of analog electronics. With its transformer-isolated line output and the ability to run on a 9V battery, this device is an ideal choice for both studio and outdoor performances."

Top 10 Oberheim OB-8 Patches - Kurzweil Classic Analog Collection Sounds / Demo K2500 K2000


video upload by One Chord Till Anarchy

"The Oberheim OB-8 was released by Oberheim from 1983-1985 and was the last of the vintage-era OB series of polysynths.

The Kurzweil Classic Analog Collection is a 30 floppy disk set for the K2000/K2500, etc synthesizers. For a long time I only had some of the disks until I found new-stock unopened box set on Ebay. Some of the synths and patches are sample based, some are just native designed for the Kurzweil VAST engine.

The OB-8 disk actually has two sets of sounds on it. The main large one has 102 patches and uses some samples as part of the program design for certain patches, making the total file 921K. The second much smaller one (only 11 patches) is all VAST engine design.

This video showcases the 10 patches I like the most from the main set (File: OB8.KRZ). Patch names are shown with each sound. EQ is flat.

Amb0 Acid - Ambient 0 CPM DS-2 - Song-a-Day 2025 Jam


video upload by ChrisLody

"Full Disclosure: I occasionally take on freelance work at Sonicware and Stylophone on an hourly rate producing synth & sample sound design, beta testing, checking English text, video manuals, promo content etc. This video wasn't paid for directly but as a result of my work with Sonicware and Stylophone it is marked as Paid Promotion

So someone casually asked me if the Ambient 0 could manage acid which I took as a challenge naturally. Yes it can as it turns out. So file this under non-ambient 0 again.

So the Ambient 0 can do a pretty respectable of some acidic. It's not really using many of it features to do this but it is damn good fun. To create this patch I started with the standard patch that loads in an empty pattern in the drone layer which uses a saw wave and turned the release down. I turned the resonance up to max, assigned LFO 1 to cutoff , set it's shape to RMP- and set the trigger to 1 so it works like a 1 shot decaying envelope. I also set the voice mode to Legato and turned the glide up to 30. The it's just a case of programming an acid pattern and getting it to slide by programming overlapping notes. The one shot LFO is a substitute for an envelope but feels a bit different to use. Speed is reversed compared to the way an envelope works and turning the LFO amount up in this case drives the cutoff down and it influences it more but it's still playable. The built in distortion and reverb sounded really nice on this too but I decided to go with the ones built into the Zoom r8 as then they wouldn't change as the patterns were loaded on the Liven.

As well as having worked on the Ambient 0 I've also been lucky enough to have a Stylophone CPM DS-2 in the studio since the end of last year. It's a very cool bit of kit and I was also lucky enough to work for them on their stall at Bristronica last year too showing people how to use them. It's designed as a drone synth but it's Eurorack compatible so will accept CV for pitch so it can be bullied into playing melodic and bass parts too. So it's connected to a Korg SQ1 here and is playing the high melodic layer. I've got both oscillators tracking pitch but Drone 2's output is fed into Drone 1's cutoff input for some filter FM goodness"

OBERHEIM TEO-5 | ANALOG poly-SYNTH | MUSIC DEMO - NO TALKING 🎹🔥


video upload by FutureMusic.es

"The compact OBERHEIM TEO-5 synthesizer resurrects the legendary analog-polyphonic sound of California...

#oberheim #teo5 #synthesizer

The OBERHEIM TEO-5 is a huge analog polyphonic synthesizer in the vein of the golden age of American synthesizers. We're talking about the legendary original designer, and the same architecture and circuitry that sculpted thick, memorable lines of American analog polysynth in the 70s and 80s.

But a lot happened along the way for us to see the OBERHEIM TEO-5 in its full glory today. Today, OBERHEIM is a revered brand that has regained its status as a rightful contemporary of that golden age of synthesizers.

Signature acronyms, premium electronics, and a huge sound

This sweeping instrument features the exclusive and visionary craftsmanship of Thomas Elroy Oberheim – TEO, hence the name of the device.

And one of the interesting strengths of the OBERHEIM TEO-5 is that it "perfectly combines classic analog warmth with the modern versatility that today's musicians demand", according to the brand's statements.

"I'm very proud to be able to create a synthesizer like this... Compact and affordable, the Oberheim sound for 2024", says Tom Oberheim, founder of the company that bears his name, as well as a legendary designer

In its mission to make Oberheim's classic tone palette "widely accessible", TEO-5 encapsulates decades of analog engineering experience on a musical instrument that is "as innovative as it is visionary."
