The Behringer Syncussion is amazing for melodies | Winterdagen

video upload by Winterdagen

"I bought a Behringer syncussion for its weird s&h percussion sounds, which are very cool. But as it turns out, it's also a lovely synth for melodies.

For this piece I made use of a minimal music technique called phasing which I love. Check out a lovely ‪@loopop‬ video on doing it with samples here: • Sampler trick: Steve Reich/William Ba... [2nd video here] Both voices on the Syncussion play the same melody, but on one part the loop is one 8th note shorter, making the two voices drift further away from each other on each rotation. With some help from the Strymon Volante and Erica Synths Zen Delay this turned into a quite hypnotising little exploration."

Today we make lovely percussions with the Angle Grinder!"

Introducing VProm 3.0

video upload by Aly James Lab

"Over the years, VPROM has become a staple in music production, celebrated for its accurate variable sample rate emulation of classic DACs and its ability to load swappable EPROM samples. Now, with the release of VPROM 3.0, I am taking things to the next level. This major upgrade enhances both features and usability. While previous versions excelled at replicating EPROM-based drum machines, primarily the LM-1, Version 3.0 expands its capabilities even further."

VProm 3.0 Uncut Live Walk-through - Sampling Stuff - Part 1

video upload by Aly James Lab

"NEW in VProm 3.0 : Sample/Convert/Burn

-VProm now features a built-in EPROM creator, allowing you to generate custom EPROM binary files without any external tools and ready for use in VPROM or hardware drum machines.

Import any .wav file and sample it just like in the classic hardware days. The resampling process uses a crude emulated R2R ADC with tweakable input settings and home-made tweaks* before capturing at ≈ 27 kHz. If the original .wav file rate is less or equal than 27 kHz, resampling is bypassed. You can also disable the resampling stage if needed.

Once sampled, preview the file with µLaw 8bit (12bit quality) compression applied or save it directly as a µLaw-encoded .bin EPROM file.

Maximum EPROM size is 64K ≈ 2.5 seconds @ 27Khz —larger sampled .wav files will be automatically truncated to fit during sampling."

Patchmaking on the Novation Summit Synthesizer

Playlist:

1. Novation Summit - 2 noisy emotional synthesizer patches

A short showoff of two nice patches I made for the Novation Summit Synthesizer showing a different kind of sounds that can be created with this versatile synth. Enjoy it.

2. Patchmaking on the Novation Summit Synthesizer - how I work with it and makes the most out of it!

"This is a programming session on my Novation Summit synthesizer - showing some tricks and how you can work with lots of modulation and get some noisy and dirty sounds out of the Summit. It is not necessarily the most common type of sounds from this synth. But it has some clever mod matrix setups that can be used.

The sound was recorded straight from the Novation Summit output to a Zoom H6 recorder, also recording the talk... No external processing.

My hope is that this video can give some insight into different ways of working with this synthesizer."

Hardware Jams Weekend Challenge - Cadmium [WIP], Periodic Table

video upload by SynthAddict

"Maschine+

The tempo is the atomic mass of Cadmium, rounded off (112).

Cadmium metal has high toxicity.

Cadmium was used in NiCd batteries for decades until NiMH and Li-Ion batteries replaced them.

Cadmium is still used as a component of control rods in nuclear fission reactors and in CdS photocells for light sensors and modular vactrol circuits.

A cadmium-dependent carbonic anhydrase (enzyme) has been found in marine diatoms in place of the usual zinc version."

Vangelis' Magic trick with the Yamaha CS80 Ribbon Control

Electronica w/ CyDrums, OP-1 field, Prophet-10, CP-88 | Pastel Porch 2025-02-24

video upload by atnr

"A piece created using the ‪@SequentialLLC‬ Prophet-10, ‪@teenageengineering‬ OP-1 field, and ‪@SONICWARE‬ CyDrums. It's an electronica track built around an irregular piano melody and a glitchy rhythmic sound.

The bassline is generated using a sine wave on Ableton Live's Operator.

The rhythm is crafted on CyDrums, with sequences controlled via MIDI from Ableton.

The OP-1 field is used to perform synth parts, and its output is routed through ‪@gfisys‬ SPECULAR TEMPUS, where a deep Shimmer Reverb is occasionally applied.

On the YAMAHA CP-88, I perform layered octaves irregularly, while the Prophet-10 delivers the harmonies."
