Can you build worlds just with sound?│Bastl Instruments Presents: Oliver Torr’s Artist Sample Pack

video upload by Bastl Instruments

"Dive into the sonic world of Oliver Torr —a multidisciplinary artist, composer, and sound designer working at the edges of sound, performance, and speculative technology.
In this mini-documentary, we follow Oliver while exploring his unique approach to sound design, instrument building, and world-building in audio . Every object, every space, every moment becomes material for creating new worlds and stories – if we only look through the right lenses.

Oliver created the original factory sample bank for Kastle 2 Wave Bard. He included a secret Easter-egg bank there as well (we wonder if you managed to find it there yet hehe).
And now we are proud to present Oliver’s Artist Sample Pack.

🎧 Download the Sample Pack
You don’t need to own a Wave Bard or a Citadel to explore it — everyone is welcome.
Open our Sample Loader Web App, select “Preset” → “Citadel by Oliver Torr”, generate the firmware, and load it onto your Kastle 2 or Citadel.

264t & 242t Chord Machine - Tiptop Audio & Buchla

video upload by Stazma

"From plucky polyphonic arpeggios to BIG chords!

This is an idea I had in my head for some time, combining the 264t Polyphonic Adapter with ART and my two 259t with the 242t to trigger clusters of notes and create strums / arp / chords type sounds.

It worked and here is how!"

Tempera Explained // V2 Walkthrough & Demo

video upload by Starsky Carr

"The Beetlecrab Tempera Granular Synth just received its *V2.2 update*, and it’s a big one. In this video I take you through the new features, hidden tricks, workflow tweaks, sound-design improvements and performance enhancements that make Tempera one of the most expressive modern granular instruments around.

Whether you're already deep into granular synthesis or you're a hardware synth explorer looking for fresh inspiration, this walkthrough will help you get the very best out of the Tempera in its latest form.

I cover everything from the new modulation behaviours to improved grain controls, expanded performance capabilities, more responsive pads, UI refinements and creative techniques that make the Tempera feel faster, deeper and more musical. Plus: a load of practical audio demos so you can hear what’s really changed."

Ambient Generative Music | Ableton Air & Roland JP-8080

video upload by Akihiko Matsumoto

"Generative Sequencer: Ableton Air https://akihikomatsumoto.sellfy.store...

Inspired by Timeless Techniques
"Air" draws its inspiration from Brian Eno's Music for Airports and the concept of overlapping tape loops. This Ableton Max for Live plugin translates these ideas into a modern generative sequencer, enabling you to explore infinite musical possibilities without repetitive programming.
Effortless Note Generation
Forget the constraints of the piano roll. "Air" generates notes autonomously, creating endless variations of melodies, rhythms, and harmonies. Your music becomes a living, breathing entity that evolves over time, making each moment unique.
Perfect for Experimental and Ambient Music
Whether you're crafting immersive ambient soundscapes, exploring experimental electronica, or composing intricate minimal music, "Air" provides the tools to elevate your creativity. Its generative approach ensures that no two performances are ever the same, offering a fresh perspective with every playback.
Features Designed for Limitless Inspiration
Evolving Sequences: Generate infinitely unique patterns that never repeat.
Customizable Settings: Fine-tune parameters to align with your artistic vision.
Seamless Integration: Designed for Ableton Live users who value creativity and experimentation.
Create Music That Breathes
"Air" is more than a plugin—it's a partner in creation, designed for musicians who embrace unpredictability and seek to push boundaries. Unleash the power of generative composition and let your music take flight."

A Recipe For Chaotic Beauty | Modular Classroom | Episode 04

video upload by Cinematic Laboratory

"This series is a bit more advanced than usual, but this does not mean 'difficult', it means 'low level'. I will revisit Rob Hordijk's Benjolin and Blippoo Box again, not to recreate them, but to understand its components a bit more so they can be used elsewhere. We'll build a Twin Peak filter with Blades and Blinds (or any duo filter with a polarizer), a Comparator with Maths - which can make amazing new sounds using any two VCO's, I'll revisit the Rungler with Marbles and finally I've been looking for ways to detect equality between two voltages so we can generate a trigger or gate. I am not aware of any comparator that has an '=' output, but I figured out a way to approximate it with Maths.

I've been using ChatGPT as a research tool and it came up with the Twin Peak recipe after scrutinizing documentation on the web. But it also claimed that using Maths for equality detection would not work, because EOC is documented to be 'end of full cycle'. We already figured out in Episode 01 of this series, that EOC is always ON, and off when a RISE is in progress. This is needed to do quadrature functions, bla bla bla, but the point is that AI can be misinformed. Regardless, AI has reached a point where you can actually discuss patches and ChatGPT knows a LOT of modules, options, techniques and alternatives. So how do I know so much? I don't. It's co-creation.

Even though this episode features a lot of chaos, I tried to find the cool textures that make the Blippoo Box so entertaining, and figure out why the Benjolin is so untameable (may I say annoying?)
