Draft #4 ( AMBIENT DRONE ) Digitakt 2 + Reface CS + Ditto X4


video upload by uh!

"In this draft, I have the Reface CS being looped by the Ditto x4, and with this, I also add effects to create variations. Then the signal goes to the Digitakt, where I'm just playing a small pattern of kick, snare, and hi-hat.

Everything is then separated by tracks in FL Studio."

Had a lot of fun designing these sounds, Hydrasynth is a joy to use, and no other synth in my studio is capable of such complex sounds.
I hope you'll find these patches interesting and useful!"

Announcing Firmware 1.2 for Polyend Synth


video upload by Polyend

"Let's look at some of the features added in Synth Firmware 1.1 and 1.2.

Download the latest firmware and read the full changelog: https://polyend.com/downloads/synth-d..."

Changes from 1.1.0 to 1.2.0
Synth firmware 1.2 focuses on interface improvements and disabling effects when they aren’t active to free up additional CPU.

NEW FEATURES

Effects (Rev, Mod, Del) are not activated when not used in a scene
Dim Mode added to the system settings.
Interface improvements to help avoid clipping and distortion
Master Volume now shows dB values instead of a line
Mixer Level meter turns red when clipping
Maximum mixer sends set to 0dB instead of +12 (Old projects will still load with the value saved at +dB settings)
Added screen indicators to help troubleshoot when a Synth isn’t playing a sound
Added an all note off option to stop hanging notes
Access via Main Menu > All Notes Off
FIXES

GRAIN Burst Ratio parameter values were playing at double the specified tempo
An incorrect engine could load on when mapping PC change options if patches shared the same name
Freeze when using Layout and Mode knobs on Grid page simultaneously
Clicking when using crossfaders for Mod > Rev or Mod > Del could sometimes occur
Aftertouch did not work if a pad was hit extremely hard
Preventing hanging of held notes when Local Mode is changed to off
PC change could corrupt the loaded patch and browsers
The patch preview was removed from PC mapping to prevent this issue
Freeze after loading a scene with PC Mappings multiple times
Quickly scrolling the program change mapping list sometimes switched the active patch
Switching pages would occasionally result in an empty parameter page
Main Menu navigation sometimes cut off
Held Notes were not highlighted after switching instruments on seq

AudioScape Eurobuss VCA Buss Compressor Review (updated)


video upload by Molten Music Technology

Follow-up to this post.

"The Eurobuss VCA Compressor from AudioScape Engineering is based upon the G-Series bus compressor found in classic SSL consoles. They're spun it into a Eurorack module in the hope that it might bring joy, glue and cohesion to your modular noises. Headphones recommended for this one."

Resynthesizer by Make Noise - Ambient performance


video upload by Jay Hosking

"A live synthesizer jam performed entirely on the Make Noise Resynthesizer.

This might be the most beautiful instrument I own.

Eurorack is traditionally about choice, about configuring a case to your preferences or imagination. The Make Noise Resynthesizer is the antithesis of this, in many ways. It's a crafted case from only one manufacturer, from their imagination, and with a specific philosophy and goal in mind. In this respect, it is an instrument, with the strengths and limitations inherent in any instrument. And when you embrace those strengths and limitations, it's truly incredible what it can create.

This is the very first patch I made with the Resynthesizer, with no goals in mind, without any sample content loaded onto the Morphagene (sampler). I didn't even know how to use half of the modules going in, and still don't know how to use many of them in any depth. But it's a testament to the Resynthesizer that it has a unified philosophy, and that its two main sound-creating voices (the Morphagene and the Spectraphon, a dual stereo oscillator) work so well together. What a synth.

I learned how to quickly sample the Spectraphon into the Morphagene, learned how to use the basics of René, and away I went. Within minutes I was making sounds and music I hadn't approximated with any other gear before.

Not only am I pleased with the musical results, I'm truly excited about the depth of this machine, to learn more of what it can do, to embrace its strengths and limitations and see what comes out of it, free of expectations.

Performed and recorded live to a stereo output, with EQ, compression, and limiting on the master.

Thanks for listening.

"Flux" Koma Elektronik Chromaplane and Panasonic RD-8944


video upload by Stephano Gavilanes

"Third exploration with the Koma Elektronik Chromaplane analog synthesizer👌🏽

This time I’m using a 1974 Panasonic RD-8944 rhythm machine into the Chromaplane with an improvisation piece with only one pickup, and my improvised magnet pins! 🎛️

I think I’m going to record an EP❤️
