Multitimbrality Comes to Supercritical Synthesizers Redshift 6

Redshift 6 - Multitimbral Techno Tweak video upload by Supercritical Synthesizers

"We are super excited to introduce multitimbrality — it makes the Redshift 6 more than six times more powerful than it already is.

On this demo, we put the Redshift 6’s new multitimbrality feature to the test.

The multitimbrality is currently in beta testing, and this demo uses the beta firmware. The firmware is available on our Discord server. You can join our Discord to access beta versions of the firmware, discuss technical details and development of the Redshift 6, and share demos.

The Redshift 6 is six-part multitimbral, and the new multitimbrality feature makes it possible to assign its six voices in various ways.

The voices can be split into traditional polyphonic keyboard zones, layered across multiple parts to play simultaneously, or, for example, used as six monophonic parts. Thanks to the Redshift 6’s paraphony, these monophonic parts can also be used to play chords.

This demo was recorded live using the Redshift 6’s main and auxiliary outputs. The Dub Chords and Reso Chords were recorded in stereo from the main output and AUX 1. The bass line and noise were recorded in mono from AUX 2.

When the parts are panned left and right, the Redshift 6’s three outputs provide six mono outputs, allowing each of the six parts to have its own dedicated output.

All the synth sounds in this demo were recorded live from the Redshift 6. The drum and FX sounds are samples, created using only the Redshift 6. These samples were sequenced in a DAW after the live tweaking.

We are attending Superbooth 2025 in Berlin. If you're coming to the event, stop by and test the Redshift 6. You can find us at Bungalow B020 in the Bungalowdorf."

PUCE MUSE : Méta-Instrument N°4

video upload by PUCE MUSE

"Developed by PUCE MUSE in collaboration with Catherine Hospitel, Dominique Brégeard and Jérémie Gaston-Raoul, the Meta-Instrument 4 is entirely made by 3D printer.

The result of 5 years of development, the Meta-Instrument 4 embeds 92 high precision sensors and 13 dedicated processors. In particular, ten on-board Meta-Touches measure finger pressure and playing speed with great sensitivity: 3000 times per second on 80 pressure zones. The MI4 is a new generation of digital instrument, fully modular and customizable to allow a new form of virtuosity.

Ample Synthesizer Arpeggios Triggered via MIDI

"There are Ample arps in this video—but don’t let their simplicity fool you. MIDI is driving a minimal arpeggio pattern while the Ample’s oscillators are gradually blended in for added depth, including a thick, grounding sub-oscillator."

Yamaha DX7 and Fractal Audio FM3 soundscape improvisation

"I think I'm getting worse at playing keyboard. Anyway, a friend wanted me to fix his DX7, but I can't find anything wrong with it so I tested it out for a little while and just made this brief piece.

4/22/25 Soundforce S-LD + SSL 1660 + GenRad 1564-A + BLM Gate Seq + DSP 808 + MIDIVERB II + PV 1300

"4/22/25 ElectroComp EML 200 + Synthetic Sound Labs 1660 + Analog Craftsman acVOKs + STG muSonics Vanilla Envelope + General Radio 1564-A + Blue Lantern Gate Sequencer + Soundforce S-LD + DSP 808 + Alesis MIDIVERB II + Peavey 1300

Testing out a used Soundforce S-LD module we just got. You can hear the cowbell and the maraca (there’s a switch on the back to choose the Linn toms or percussion). The other percussion is from the DSP 808 module, which is a similar sampled sound module, but with pitch control and voltage controls. The synthy kick drum is the General Radio 1564-A processing the S-LD kick drum. Its VU meter looks like it’s out of sync, but it’s just slow and getting pinned hard. The two drones that build up are from two ElectroComp EML 200 synthesizers. The synth lines are Synthetic Sound Labs 1660 The Matrix Algorithmic Composer through the Analog Craftsman acVOKS filter into the STG muSonics Vanilla Envelope. The reverb is preset 10 on the Alesis MIDIVERB II."

“Time is Now” Creating an Ambient Track Live Using Sonicware Ambient Zero & Oberheim TEO-5 Synths

video upload by Maria Calfa-DePaul

"I am a big fan of sonicware’s liven offerings and I have several and this is becoming one of my favorites because it’s just it’s got a lot of character. It’s great for using with other synths and it’s got a sequencer and I use this live in the video trying to build up an ambient track and then having the TEO be like the headliner where I can riff on it and have it all worked together. I really enjoyed myself during this. It’s a little hard sometimes multitasking but hopefully I was able to provide you with some entertainment and enjoyment."

The Master of Synthesizer Design : Axel Hartmann : From Inspiration to Iconic !

The Master of Synthesizer Design : Axel Hartmann : From Inspiration to Iconic !

Hosted by Vin Curigliano of AAVIM Technology, I am joined by guest co-host Pete Brown of Microsoft, and special guest Axel Hartmann who has been the go to designer for some of the most iconic synthesizers of the last 35 years, and continues to be one of the leading designers in the field. Chances are, you have seen or played one of his designs.

We discuss Axel's history in music and technology, what lead him to follow the path to Industrial Design, and what motivated and inspired him to focus his attention and creativity, primarily in the area of musical instruments.

Starting with his early career at Waldorf that was initially in graphic design but expanded into the area of industrial design and the eventual design and development of the iconic Waldorf Wave synthesizer, as well as many other well-known and much-loved synthesizer designs for numerous other manufacturers.

We then cover a large number of his better-known designs, and get first-hand insights and behind the scenes details of what is actually involved in bringing these instruments to market.

Throughout, we dive into Axel's design philosophy and how he works in collaboration with the clients to bring the designs to life and to market. We navigate the highs, lows, hits, and misses over his career, and much, much more, with some great stories and laughs along the way."
