Canoodling with Groc Granular Synth

video upload by oddment audio

"Polishing, polishing, polishing our prototype before we head to Superbooth 24 in less than 2 weeks!

For the patient ones among you... find out how to: change samples, set the amplitude envelope and time path, use a second envelope to modulate a destination parameter, connect pitch bend to the tuning knob and mod wheel to the grain size, connect an LFO to the resonant low-pass filter, and mess with secondary parameters of one of the echo paths."

Sound design tutorial from the film Blade Runner 2049 using OB-6 and Moog Grandmother

video upload by EthanJamesMusic

"This is a sound design tutorial for how to approach a specific sound that was used in the film Blade Runner 2049 from 2017 with a score by Hans Zimmer. I was requested to show how I would make the lead sound that happens in the track 'Mesa'. The sound is a wet synth brass type of sound, with some wrinkles, where the pitch is a little further apart than you normal would do for an EDM track or the type of pop 1980s track, where this type of sound was used a lot.

The Sequential Circuits OB-6 can do a respectable job of coming close to the sound. I have no idea what was actually used for the film, but it sounds closer to a CS-80, which now costs over $100,000 used. For this reason, I'm teaching how to make the sound on both OB-6 and the Moog Grandmother.

Analog synthesizers have found a way back into film music, which has led to a lot of rich experimentation of what these instruments are capable of. I think my main takeaway from making this video, is that a lot can be achieved by moving the pitch of two oscillators far apart from each other to create a lot of disturbance in the melody. Also, having a really dry sound mixed in with lots of ambience really cuts through in a way that creates a strong effect.

I hope you learn something from this tutorial, and it gives you some ideas to try out! Please let me know if there are any questions, or if anyone knows what instrument was used on the film. I would guess a Minimoog or similar."

3 cool things to do with LFOs & analogue logic, feat. Nekyia Circuits Obsidian

video upload by Tom Churchill

"This video is about using analogue logic to do interesting things with basic LFOs. The module I’m using is the Nekyia Circuits Obsidian, which is a pair of identical LFOs with a built-in analogue logic section - and of course you can achieve similar results with other modules too."

Chapters:
00:00 Intro and patch previews
02:33 Logic for melodic sequences
08:17 Logic for wonky rhythms
13:01 Logic for complex modulation

"This vintage drum synthesizer still works perfectly. The sounds are incredibly real. The unit is versatile, providing many rock, jazz, Latin, and waltz templates. 24 distinct rhythm templates in all. Each of the 24 can be shuffle or straight. And you can add cymbals, high hat, congas and more, each with individual volume to any template. There are also eight fills to choose from, each with frequency choices. Three momentary foot switches allow control during live performances."
