Arturia PolyBrute 12 - Looping Envelopes and Deep Modulations

video upload by Scott McAuley Sounds

"Patches will be available at https://www.orano.co.uk/shop or http://www.synthsounds.co.uk

The Musical content in this video is purely all based in a held C Minor, with some additional notes.

It is more to let listeners hear how much modulation depth the PB12 is capable of. There are no sequencers used, the 'Hold' button is on, and any repeating notes are purely from the looping envelopes :)

enjoy!

Sequential Prophet VS Soundscape - Where moments collide

video upload by MIDERA

"First – a friend sent me a listing for a Prophet VS. I didn’t think I’d get it but I reached out and offered a trade. They were interested in my Prophet 12, but ultimately I wasn’t sure I wanted to part ways with that, so instead I paid with cash… But that meant selling a lot of other gear – gear that no one was buying.

But then out of the blue someone wanted my DW-8000. Then the next day someone wanted my JX-3P. Then the next day I sold my JD-800. And there I had the funds. I bought the synth and came home and played it.

It’s a fascinating synth, but it is quite confusing for me right now. I understand it, but I don’t know how to make it sing. Personally – I think maybe I’m wondering what this really does that I can’t get from the ESQ1, which feels sacrilegious to say… That said, I don’t feel like the internet really shows that much interest in these. Maybe that’s partly because when you search “Prophet VS” google thinks you’re referring to ‘versus’ instead of ‘vector synth’. But either way, it’s pretty quiet out there on these.

Second – you may notice that this is somewhat of a duet. A few weeks ago my wife’s mom brought us a stray she picked up. She had, the day before, brought in a different cat that was very pregnant (and a few days later, had the kittens), so she asked if we would rehome this cat for her. Well – unfortunately the second the cat was in my house I knew it was going to stay. This little girl is so friendly. So, I guess she played along with me for a bit. But then she got obnoxious and had to leave the session. Some of her notes were wrong. I apologize for that.

Third – If you remember from two months ago, I had stated how I had some concerns after going to the doctor – well, thankfully things turned out way better than I had thought when I went back in a few days ago. That was a huge relief. It was something that had been bothering me since I visited my mom right before she passed away. I remember being with her thinking “I can’t tell her about this because I don’t want one of the last things she thinks about me to be worry over my health.” So I kept it quiet. Of course, all of this just makes me think of her, and well, you know the rest.

Fourth and finally – Today I am doing something new. I have recorded, edited, and rendered this entire track within Linux. I have spent the last 2 weeks trying to push myself away from Windows (my computer should be able to run Win 11, but Microsoft decided to not let me install it). This was something I wanted to try out for some time, and here I’ve done it. I used Reaper (which I love, and paid for quite a long time ago) and a free video editor called Kdenlive (which was surprisingly awesome by the way). I used to use Davinci Resolve which is also very nice, and they have a free version – but I want to try to get away from paid software (Reaper, I’ll make an exception). I actually also decided to swap out Eventide Blackhole VST for Valhalla Supermassive (free). Wow that reverb sounds great and as a benefit, doesn’t use iLok which was always really annoying. Although I got Eventide Blackhole for $30, so it wasn’t expensive, it’s nice to try something that is truly free.

Well – yeah, it’s been 2 months since I last posted anything, I think. Everything has just been going by really fast. I’m sure everyone else feels the same way.

A Synthesizer Played by Glacier Melting Waters - M E L T by Ghost In The Loop

video upload by Ghost In The Loop

"The full recording session for M E L T, from my new EP C R Y O S P H E R E, is finally here.

This track holds a special place for me because everything about it was completely unplanned. I initially set out to demonstrate my recording techniques inside a glacier, but what was supposed to be a one-minute demo kept growing, first to two minutes, then four.
As I continued, the recording evolved into what felt like a symphony of ice, with the raw, cinematic power of the glacier resonating through the sound. It’s moments like these that show the beauty of the unexpected in extreme recording environments.

For those curious about the technical side, I used an Interharmonics geophone and an Organic Audio hydrophone, connected to my Empress Effects Zoia, which acted as a pre-amp and envelope follower. The audio signal was split using Big T Music LTD’s Mansoon module as a resonator. I manually adjusted the pitch of the chords in real time, creating a progression based on what I was hearing. This added a layer of challenge to the live one-take recording process—if you watch closely, you’ll catch the moments where everything falls perfectly into place!

For this EP, I’ve partnered with EarthPercent and will be donating 50% of all sales profits to support environmental causes. I’m honored to collaborate with them and make my music part of a greater mission.
