Diatonic 2-Voice Ambient Buchla Music Easel


video upload by Akihiko Matsumoto

"Buchla Modular Synth Sample Pack https://akihikomatsumoto.sellfy.store...
An inquiry into timbre shaped by the circuitry of a singular electronic instrument
A system built for exploration
From the earliest prototypes crafted by Don Buchla, these instruments were conceived as tools for acoustic research. Instead of following keyboard based conventions, Buchla systems were designed as laboratories for voltage relationships, spectral motion and dynamic control of timbre. Performers were encouraged to treat sound as a fluid material. Each patch functioned as an experiment in how signals could bend, collide or dissolve within a responsive electronic environment.

This sample pack carries that spirit forward through recordings made with the Buchla Music Easel Modern. It offers a survey of sonic behavior, inviting listeners to study the subtle warmth that emerges when complex oscillators interact. It highlights the characteristic percussive transients of low pass gates. It captures broadband noise shaped by minute spectral movements. It presents drones formed by slow feedback interactions and microscopic frequency shifts. The goal is to provide raw material for creators who wish to work closely with the textures that define this family of instruments."

Pics of the inside below.

"Classic 80s 8bit PCM drum machine, used in countless hits.

This particular unit was serviced:

- all electrolytic capacitors were replaced

- switches and pots were cleaned

- latest firmware eprom was installed (3.0)

- factory patterns were loaded

- MIDI interface was added, built using the original E-mu design. This allows you to trigger the 12 sounds over MIDI dynamically

- comes with 4x additional eproms containing the famous LinnDrum LM2 sounds. I made a video a few monthes ago comparing 2 drumulators with stock and linnDrum kit if you want to hear the difference (youtu.be/k_EuRlCi_Vk)

Works perfectly. Cosmetic it is in quite good condition with some scuffs here and there, and also 2 holes were drilled in the back from a previous owner (no idea what was the reason). Unit is 230v."

Is the Sequential FOURM the next Industrial classic?

Today we discover the ‪Sequential FOURM. The sound of Sequential synthtesizers helped shape EBM and industrial music sound, albums by bands such as Skinny Puppy, Ministry, Nine Inch Nails, KMFDM or VNV Nation. I'm putting the Sequential FOURM to the test to see if it can deliver that EBM and Industrial sound, just like the Prophet-5 and Pro-One did back then.

Skybound - full album | rhythmic dark ambient performance with analog synthesizers


video upload by Caught In Joy

"Skybound drifts into a darker side of analog ambient — long shadows, slow-moving bass clouds, quiet tension, and melodic fragments floating through the darkness. It’s deeper, heavier, and more atmospheric than my usual bright, drifting releases… but still gentle, still spacious, still grounded in the warmth of live analog instruments.

If you enjoy immersive night listening, dim-light focus, or slow emotional reset sessions, this one should land well.

Weston HV 1 Hybrid Oscillator (sound.report english)


video upload by Heiner Kruse - The Green Man(TGM) - sound.report

Timestamps:
00:00-02:33 Intro
02:33-04:20 Digital Osc
04:20-05:40 Aux CV-In Modulation WT Cluster
05:40-08:33 Scale and organize Modulation
08:33-11:10 Fold Algorithms and FM
11:10-15:09 Where’s the beef - + WT Chord Mode



HV1 is an oscillator that brings the best of both the analog and digital worlds: At the core is a super stable, great-tracking, analog triangle core VCO. The triangle is fed into a digital phase shifter, which outputs a phase-shifted triangle and morphed wavetable waveform. The phase-shifted triangle is also transformed into a complementary set of sawtooth, pulse, and sine waveforms using analog circuitry. The digital waveforms are both 16-bit / 150kHz resolution, with available anti-aliasing, making them right at home with the analog waveforms.

Features:
+ Detune ability to make HV1 act like 2 separate, parallel oscillators
+ True linear Phase Modulation & Through-Zero FM
+ 16-way morphing wavetable output with ability to load WaveEdit format and Serum files from SD card
+ Auxiliary CV assignable to wavefolding and bitcrushing effects
+ Built-In Tuner Function
+ Great tracking and stability with 8 octave switch

Rob Papen DelGrain - Creative Granular Delay


video upload by Rob Papen

Press release follows:


Rob Papen announces availability of DelGrain as creative granular delay, extending effect plug-in product line with yet more out-of-the-box thinking

ECHT, THE NETHERLANDS: virtual instrument and effect plug-in developer Rob Papen Inspiration Soundware is proud to announce availability of DelGrain — duly thinking out of the box to extend its effect plug-in product line as a creative granular delay featuring fanciful routings, a distortion feature, and FILTER, while also featuring the same DISRUPT spherical slider shared by its DelSane (stereo delay demonstrating ‘Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde’ behaviour) and LowSane (‘lo-fi’ sound sculpting-specialising effect) software siblings, aimed at experimental artists, mixers, and producers — as of November 28…

It is fair to say that DelGrain has a lot in common with its DelSane software sibling, the main difference obviously being that — as its name implies — it offers a delay that plays back audio in a granular or grainy way. With that in mind, then, the granular change to the audio can be placed ahead of the delay, inside the delay, or parallel to the delay. But better still, the size of the ‘grains’ can be adjusted (GRAIN SIZE) — even in a tempo-based way, the length of the ‘grains’ (GRAIN LEN) can be be tempo-based as well, while the GRAIN SEMI tune feature has a 12-semitone range, both up and down; by being tempo-based, the granular delay itself is ideally suited to rhythmic usage on drums and percussion loops.

Reveals Rob Papen himself — both in his capacity as a virtual instrument and effect plug-in developer par excellence and also as his namesake company’s Managing Director: “DelGrain can produce some sweet-sounding delays with swirly granular sound, but its real power lies in its special sounds — not only on drums and percussion, but also on vocals, for instance. Its DISRUPT sphere with the tempo-based SPRING BACK feature allows you to change DelGrain’s parameters dynamically, and there is also a tempo-based LAZY MODE…” — meaning that the movement of that DISRUPT spherical slider can be automated in different directions, allowing users to also create new types of creative modulation sounds.

Speaking of creative sounds, Rob Papen saw fit to add a FILTER featuring a high-pass and low-pass combination, a band-pass filter, and a vocal/vowel filter that can be placed after the delay/granular combination at different spots. But before the audio even enters the granular delay, an added distortion module makes the sound options even more exciting.

Evidently excited by his namesake company’s latest creation, Rob Papen takes pride in rattling off several more exciting-sounding features that floats his creative boat by adding, “There is a self-explanatory DRY/WET MIX dial and an FX MIX dial that can mix between the ‘granular delay’ and ‘tape delay’ sounds — by the way, the ‘delay’ inside DelGrain is based on a tape delay algorithm; an AUDIO FOLLOWER input is available for side-chain control, and it can also be used to control the DISRUPT sphere; there are four different modulation slots for those who want to control DelGrain via MIDI; and last, but by no means least, DelGrain comes with the BANK MANAGER and many presets — perfect as a starting point.”

Put it this way: while it is understandable that some might take the idea of another delay plug-in promising to be different to so many others already out there with a GRAIN of salt — pun intended, it would be surely seriously remiss of Rob Papen not to assure them that DelGrain definitely delivers on that well-worn claim!

DelGrain is available — as a 64-bit AAX-, AU-, VST-, and VST3-compatible virtual instrument plug-in for Mac (OS X 10.15 or higher, ARM processor compatible) and as a 64-bit VST- and VST3-compatible virtual instrument plug-in for PC (Windows 7 or higher) with 64-bit AAX compatibility available for PT 12 or higher (PC) — at an attractive price of only €35.00 EUR/$35.00 USD from authorised Rob Papen dealers worldwide or as a download directly from Rob Papen for that same price via its dedicated webpage, which also features more in-depth information, here: https://www.robpapen.com/DelGrain.html

DelGrain is included in eXplorer-10 (https://www.robpapen.com/explorer-10.html), the latest version of Rob Papen’s all-encompassing bundle, at no additional cost; existing owners only have to download the latest installer and run it to add WirePluck to their Rob Papen virtual instrument and effect plug-in collection.
