TEMPERA - An amazing granular-synth-sampler instrument by Beetlecrab Audio

video upload by CGMAGIK

"Finally making another video! I'm long overdue. It's been a busy year and I also moved, which was a huge amount of work. I live on a beautiful island now though, so well worth it :) Back in the Fall of 2024, as I was preparing to work on a new film project, an ad popped up in my news feed. I think on Facebook, or maybe Instagram . . . It was for this new granular sample based instrument called the 'TEMPERA' by Beetlecrab Audio. It didn't take long after reading a bit about it and watching a few videos that I felt that THIS was something I needed to get! Perfect for the film I was going to be working on. Part of what I was going to do with the project was to record a handful of real musicians (voice, bass clarinet, trumpet and guitar) and then further manipulate and make samples of the performances I recorded. The TEMPERA seemed like it would be a really great tool for some of that work, and it was! It is months later now, the film is finished and I felt that I should make a quick video showing some of these patches, or 'canvases' as they are called, that I made.

The TEMPERA is an amazing and inspiring instrument and I'm looking forward to working more with it.

The film I worked on is called #vanlife and you can read more about it here

video upload by ohm_studi_ohm

"The Crumar Performer is a string and brass synth that has some features that grants it to be part of the hall of fame of paraphonic analog synths.
First it's a quite compact and lightweight contender in such a category.
Then it has a very nice and warm sounding resonant filter, based on the SSM 2040 and 2050 chipsets, just like in the Sequential Prophet 5. First version of the Performer used a Moog inspired transistor ladder filter, also resonant. It sounds good too but I definitely prefer that one.

The string sound have variable attack and release time and those can be quite long, great for pads and ambiance. But in my opinion what makes it special is the 3 band Eq which allows for quite a large panel of variety of tones, and it can get into almost vocal territories (check video at 05:49).
recorded through a Dynacord VRS23 for added reverb."

via this Reverb listing

"the Crumar Performer is one of the classic string synth. This one is the second version with the updated filter (SSM 2040 like on the Sequential Circuits Prophet 5).

Unit was serviced and is perfectly working. Power suply was recapped and everything was cleaned and calibrated. Cosmetic is quite good, despite some scuff and wear here and there.
It's quite compact and lightweight compared to others string synth (77x35x19cm 12kilos)"

Wendy Carlos: Electronic Music's Transformative Pioneer

video upload by Resident Advisor

"'The word "pioneer' gets thrown around too liberally these days. But in the case of Wendy Carlos, the glove fits. The face of electronic music would look immeasurably different in 2025 without the American trans composer's groundbreaking achievements. Before she came along, electronic music was barely considered music at all—just "funny sounds," as Bob Moog once said.

That all changed in 1968. Produced in collaboration with Rachel Elkind, Carlos's debut album, Switched-On Bach wielded machines to produce sounds that could compete with the symphonic pop and rock of the era. The landmark LP won multiple GRAMMYs, played a key role in popularising the use of synths and became only the second classical music record to sell a million copies.

In our latest video essay, written by Sasha Geffen, we trace Carlos's story from her early experiments with Moog through to her impact on key electronic acts of the past 50 years, including Brian Eno, DJ Sprinkles and Octo Octa.
