Tempest ：アナログの咆哮とリズムの肉体性(2022.03.20) from X

video upload by Suzuki Ryo

"なるリズムマシンを超えた「楽器」としてのTempestの記録です。

OSの不安定さや、アナログ回路ゆえの気難しさはありますが、それすらもねじ伏せて音を紡ぐ瞬間の緊張感がこのアーカイブには宿っています。 特に、フィルターを絞り込んだ時の低域の粘りや、スライダー操作による有機的な音色の変化は、デジタルでは決して再現できない「肉体的な響き」そのものです。

最近、過去のアーカイブをじっくりと聴いてくださる方が増えており、驚きとともに大きな励みになっています。この動画も、そうした音の質感に耳を澄ませてくれる方々へ届くことを願っています。

*Beyond a drum machine: A record of the Tempest as a true 'instrument.'*

Despite its notorious OS instability and the inherent temperamental nature of its analog circuitry, there is a distinct tension in this archive—the feeling of wrestling with the machine to weave a sonic narrative.

The visceral 'stickiness' of the low-end when the filters are tightened, and the organic tonal shifts driven by the sliders, produce a raw, physical resonance that digital synthesis can never truly replicate.

I’m surprised and deeply encouraged to see so many people taking the time to explore my past archives recently. I hope this video reaches those who appreciate the subtle, living textures of sound."

How to program a cheesy ANALOG FM piano sound from scratch with the Frap Tools Magnolia!

video upload by Frap Tools

"In the latest video we saw how to reverse-engineer a preset, and today we'll see how to design a program from scratch! We chose a classic (and frankly, a bit overused) sound of FM synthesizers, the iconic FM piano popularized by the Yamaha DX-7. But this time, we'll make it 100% ANALOG! Follow along to learn how to implement this technique on Magnolia.

Ambient | LYRA-8

video upload by Akihiko Matsumoto

"Link: https://akihikomatsumoto.sellfy.store...
The SOMA LYRA-8 has earned a reputation as one of the most unconventional analog synthesizers ever built. It does not follow the rules of standard pitch, MIDI sequencing, or predictable modulation. Instead, it generates sound through an organic interaction of oscillators, distortion stages, and feedback paths. Every note is less a fixed frequency and more a living event shaped by your touch, voltage instabilities, and the nonlinear behavior of its circuitry."
