Hack 5.0 | Sonicware Liven Ambient Ø + Evoke


video upload by Sonic Cartography

"What would happen if you connected the MIDI out to the MIDI in of the same synth (a Sonicware Liven, in this case)? Or created a MIDI loop between two synths / Livens? That's what I set out to answer in this video with the Sonicware Liven Ambient Ø and Evoke, and I discovered a whole bunch of tricks and possibilities along the way. Over on my Patreon, I have also released an accompanying set of 26 presets (13 for the Ambient, 13 for the Evoke): / sonicware-liven-166832092

Warning: I did experience a couple of freezes while experimenting with this setup. I don't think there's any risk beyond that, but I'm not 1000% sure about that, and a freeze in and of itself can be aggravating if you haven't saved your work, so please bear all that in mind. A couple more notes below, after the table of contents.

A big thank you to my Patreon super supporters, Maria and Tomasz, and all the other supporters of the channel who made this video possible. Like other videos I make, this video started to be released on my Patreon a little while ago, before being made public on here, so if you'd like early-access to future videos, please consider joining!"

"Teaser of a new track using a 12-step sequence on the Buchla 246, this one driving a second sequence on the Doboz TSNM II. Individual outputs from the 246 are triggering custom samples on the Keen Association 287e, and Késako Player. Also featuring SoundFreak Modular core set, Synth Thomas 292, and the vintage Buchla 296e👌🏽

Hope you enjoy it! 🤙🏼

[054] Commuter jams. Sketching with Dirtywave M8


video upload by super secret submarine

"The Dirtywave M8 is so fun to play and the portability is unparalleled. I’ve tried sketching on flights with Teenage Engineering pocket operators and the OP-XY and have had some fun jams but the M8 is next-level commuter-friendly."

Minimal Ambient on the Korg Volca FM2


video upload by Synth Codex

"I recorded this short fragment entirely on the Korg Volca FM2, effects included. No rush, no destination. Just a small, repeating idea left to unfold on its own.

I've been listening to a lot of Japanese ambient music artists lately, such as Hiroshi Yoshimura, Satoshi Ashikawa, Midori Takada, and many others. I wanted to try capturing some of that same spirit here: minimal by design, with room left for rests between notes for the listener to fill in.

Thanks for listening."

Bastl Thyme+ Sound Demo (no talking): A digital tape machine!


video upload by Synth Codex

"In this video, I run a few different audio sources through the Thyme+ to show off its range: from subtle tape warmth and classic stereo delays to aggressive pitch modulation and rhythmic glitches. No talking, just raw audio directly from the unit.
The Bastl Thyme+ is a hardware audio processor built around a digital tape-delay engine with multiple reading heads and dedicated modulation sources named Robots that can automate almost every knob on the panel.
