MiMa's cover of Harold Faltermeyer - Fletch Theme

video upload by mima85

"Here's my cover of the main theme of Fletch, composed by Harold Faltermeyer. All done from scratch, complete music track before and video parts after and finally merged them together, as per my usual style.

Like I did for some others of my videos, I took a little creative license and I added some notes to the bass line in the chorus. But besides that I stuck to the original arrangement, trying to replicate the sounds as much as possible."

Kijimi Mk2 by Black Corporation | Overview + Explorations

video upload by Sarah Belle Reid

"A walkthrough and demo of the Kijimi Mk2 made by Black Corporation. Kijimi is an 8-voice analog polyphonic synthesizer with polyphonic aftertouch and MPE capability.

In this video we’ll take a look at everything that’s inside Kijimi and how it all works, and I’ll share some of my favorite approaches to using Kijimi as an interactive instrument for live performance and as an experimental sound design tool. And of course, I’ll also share lots of sounds and patches along the way."

The Electro-Acoustic Wunderkind | Hohner Multimonica II

video upload by HAINBACH

"The Hohner Multimonica II is an oddity from the early days of electronic instruments. Made with both a spirit for the experimental yet deeply rooted in tradition, it combines a monophonic vaccuum tube proto-synth voice with a fan driven organ, all in one beautiful 1950s case. Ever since I heard of its existence I knew I had to find one. Here is how we got on."

"Dreamer’s Stash brings new life and immersive sounds to one of the absolute classic synthesizers of the 90’s, Roland JV 1080. A bank containing 128 Roland JV 1080 patches crafted from scratch.

Dreamers Suite features otherworldly and cinematic soundscapes with an expressive melodic sensitivity, relaxing immersive pads, multi layered choirs, fat leads and basslines. These patches take full advantage of the multi-layering capabilities of the synthesizer.

Featuring:
.128 patches delivered in .SyEx format
.Version for Roland Cloud JV 1080 plugin is also included in .bin format

A journey of immersive sounds for Roland JV 1080:
This bank offers an impressive array of melodic sounds, with a particular emphasis on soundscapes, pads, ambiances, and otherworldly, cinematic tones.

Deep dive into JV 1080 soundscapes:
Ocean Swift’s goal isn’t to recreate the classic sounds of the ’90s, we dive deeply to the core and at times beyond the sonic capabilities of this often underrated synthesizer.

Dreamers Stash evokes the essence of the JV-1080, but with a fresh twist that takes it to new heights.

With its innovative sound design, Dreamers Stash not only pays homage to the iconic JV-1080 but also redefines what users can expect from this classic synth. The rich, textured sounds evoke nostalgia while seamlessly integrating contemporary elements that inspire creativity.

Price: 20€ Intro offer available until 18th June (25€ reg.)"
