The Most Misunderstood Knob On Your Synth

video upload by Anthony Marinelli Music

"Allow me to demystify one of synthesis’ most misunderstood controls: the resonance knob. Using a variety of examples, I’ll show you how adjusting resonance can add character, while also explaining how the loss of bass as you turn it up can even substitute for a high-pass filter.

Resonance can be used for vocal-like effects by creating a fixed-frequency formant in the filter, or by controlling the filter with an ADSR envelope generator to shape percussive attacks at the front of a sound.

Then I take things further by making subtle changes to the filter’s attack envelope, revealing how a sound can 'speak' with even more personality.

This video is perfect for synth learners or anyone looking to unlock the full creative potential of resonance!"

Microsound Magic - B00GA, HAINBACH's new Instrument with @audiothing

video upload by HAINBACH and AudioThing

"This was a long time in the making - B00GA, my new VST/AU/CLAP instrument with AudioThing is finally here! When I discoverd the HP 8006A, nicknamed "B00GA" in 2019, I was amazed by the precision funk it oozed. Making it a plugin was on my mind since 2020, but only now AudioThing and me found and approach that would make it worth as a virtual instrument. We turned it into a microsound sampler, that sequences tiny sounds and noises within the wonderful HP interface. This opens up new textures and sonic worlds to explore. We hope B00GA brings you joy!"

"B00GA is a studio and live instrument designed to create experimental rhythms and tonal textures. Inspired by a rare piece of lab equipment, the Hewlett-Packard Word Generator 8006A, it offers an excitingly different way to sequence clicks, pulses, and noise.

Use it to create tight grooves, off-kilter beats, and forever shifting micro-sound patterns. Speed them up into rich drones and tonal structures. It comes with a suite of five vintage-flavored effects that allow for unique radiophonic effects. From brain-dance to the dance floor to advanced sound design, let’s B00GA!"
