Genki Instruments Katla #2 | Winterdagen

video upload by Winterdagen

"Here's another patch on the gorgeous ‪@genkiinstruments‬ Katla synthesizer.

For this keys patch I made use of Katla's voice rotation, with one of 5 voices tuned an octave higher than the rest, resulting in unpredictable pitch jumps in the melody, which I love. I didn't make use of Katla's oscillators for this patch, in stead the sound is coming from the filter with the resonance fully up, which tracks pitch very nicely when tuned with the simple calibration mode of holding down the two filter mode knobs.

I'm a big fan of these singing filter sine waves, which always feel a tiny bit unstable which makes them sound magical. To top it off I'm modulating the panning of the voices, I blended in some of Katla's lovely noise for some warble and I added some of the amazing internal reverb, which reminds me a bit of my Vongon Ultrasheer. I love this sound so much and I've never heard any other synth make it quite like this!

You don't see me playing the keys in the video, but I played this patch for hours, instant inspiration really. This melody is came out of that improvisation.

Thank you for watching!

ps. sine waves generally don't translate all that well on phone/laptop speakers, so speakers/earbuds/headphones advised.

Katla is shipping as of this week, find more info at: https://genki.is/"

"Hi,
enjoy the first sounds of the magnificent YAMAHA CS80 after a long time of restoring its very unique sonic soul. There are still a few things to fix, but it sounds already glorious. What do you think about the modified chorus (now a flanger style effect)?
Enjoy the music !

Just a Jam 01 with Dirtywave M8 and Waldorf Protein

video upload by Nicolai

"Music from the Bedroom #1 – My first lazy jam, built completely from scratch.

I start with a simple percussive foundation on the Dirtywave M8, then layer a single-oscillator patch on the Waldorf Protein and just explore where it takes me. Nothing polished, just raw ideas in the bedroom."

Acid exploration Jam 02 with Dirtywave M8 and Waldorf Protein

video upload by Nicolai

"Music from the Bedroom #2 – Acid exploration jam from scratch on Waldorf Protein with Dirtywave percussion presets.

Starts with a clean init patch on the Protein, evolves into full acid lines while the M8 runs live-mode percussion and pattern switches. Calm, repetitive, but constantly varying kick, snare, hats and acid lead. Raw 11-minute bedroom take.

Timeline:

00:00 Init Patch
00:20 Patch evolution
01:00 Acid - here it comes
02:30 Filter and FX added
03:35 Notes variation
04:14 Adding Percussion
06:40 Feels complete, now "live" mode
07:47 Now it really makes fun!

Patch sounds rough? Video quality questionable? Tell me in the comments – I can take it.
If you actually like it, I’d love to hear your feedback too.

Rui Da Silva, Cassandra - Touch Me (Manna Remix) | TeknoBaby Live Remake | Sub37 | e7 | Hydrasynth

video upload by TeknoBaby

"This is IMO the best remix of my favorite House track. Manna did an amazing job, giving it that modern Melodic Techno production. Most of the synth sounds are from the GS Music e7 with lots of osc sync. I just got the Hydrasynth a few days ago so am only using it with a pad preset for now. Bass is Sub37 as usual. And I bought some crappy disco lights off Amazon lol."

drone music / Lefty’s Sound Lab DARK MATTER / Eventide BLACKHOLE / by GIPNOZER

video upload by G I P N O Z E R

"Rain beat against the grimy glass of my office, as if the darkness itself were trying to force its way in. I sat, leaning against the battered back of my chair, watching the city drown in this invisible energy. They called it dark matter, but that was just a word, a pathetic attempt to describe something that had long since ceased to be mere matter. It breathed, pulsated, permeated the edges of reality, distorting the angles of perception and memory. People changed, became... different. Not evil, not mad, but simply *not the same*. Their faces seemed to blur, losing their clarity, until they became masks reflecting something ancient and alien. I saw it absorbing light, not simply extinguishing it, but reprocessing it, turning it into something new, something that defies description. And I knew that sooner or later she would get to me, swallow me up in her bottomless dark ocean, turning me into another brick in the foundation of something incomprehensible, something that would come when the universe got tired of being the universe.
