Discovering the Chromaplane: First Improvised Sessions with Soma Cosmos

video upload by Andre Bregegere

"In this video, I explore the Chromaplane by Koma Elektronik and Passepartout Duo for the very first time. To process the sound, I run the signal through the Soma Laboratory Cosmos Drifting Memory Station, allowing the electromagnetic textures to evolve into a shifting, ambient soundscape. The performance were recorded live from the Cosmos stereo output, then lightly mixed and mastered in Pro Tools.

The video is in two parts:
• Take 1: My initial interaction with the instrument, focusing on discovering its tactile response and basic tonal characteristics.
• Take 2: A second attempt where I push the density of the performance while maintaining the same tuning from the first session.

I have included annotations at the beginning of the video to explain exactly what the Chromaplane is and how I am approaching this specific setup.

Gear used:
• Koma Elektronik Chromaplane
• Soma Laboratory Cosmos (Drifting Memory Station)

Additive Drawbar - A Wavetable for Plinky

video upload by Nathan Plante Synths

"This is the Additive Drawbar wavetable for Plinky. I give you a quick tour of the wavetable plus a few sound design ideas.

@MakingSoundMachines writes: This set was generated with an additive generator. Think of it working like a drawbar organ, in that it lets you set an individual volume for each overtone / harmonic. In this set, the waves resemble organ tones, each with an individual mix of overtones. In higher registers, this bank has an organ sound to it.

You can find all of the wavetables on the Plinky homepage here:

Best Ambient Synth Shootout #151: SammichFM - Song 3

video upload by Christian's Sonic Spaces

"This is the third recording with the SammichFM. It is a streamlined, compact version of the MIDIbox FM synthesizer DIY kit. Designed around the OPL3 chip YMF262 (4-Operators with 4 different waves), which was a famous sound chip from the 8 bit computer era (e.g. Sound Blaster 16 soundcard), it can play 4-sounds with 6-voice polyphony each.

I used for the recording the following FX pedals:
Red Panda Raster 2, Pigtronix Echolution 2 Deluxe, GFI System Specular Reverb 2.

The signal went through a Presonus StudioLive 16.0.2 into the PC via USB for recording. To create the complete song I recorded consecutively several stereo tracks. On some tracks Compressor and EQ where added in Cubase 13. The final song was then mastered using iZotope Ozone.

Well, I decided to go back to the basics, but at the same time make something useful for the synth community and do a kind of competition (I like competitions;-). What's my best synth for ambient music :-)"
