Lux 🔆 (Erica Synths LXR-02 + Oto Boum Compressor // Ableton Move 1.5 // Arturia Keystep Pro)
video upload by 2-Minute Warning
"2 minutes, no warning! 🥳
In this video, I really wanted to make use of the 1.5 new features of the Ableton Move like sequencing the different tracks of the Move from another sequencer (Keystep Pro here) and its new Auto Filter effect 🤩 (I was really waiting for these 2 updates!).
So the track starts with DRUMS played and sequenced by the LXR-02, through the Oto Machines Boum stereo analog compressor.
I then introduce the Move by opening the new Auto Filter effect.
The Move is playing some secondary percussions (Track 1), the BASS (Track 2, sequenced by Track 2 of the Keystep Pro), the ARP (Track 3 of the Move, sequenced by Track 3 of the Keystep Pro) and the CHORDS (Track 4 of the Move, sequenced by Track 4 of the Keystep Pro).
So with this setup, I was able to transpose in real-time the instruments played by the Move 😃

PlantsSystem-AD-X
video upload by plantssystem
"'AD-X' by PlantsSystem is a sonic work that weaves together analog pulse tones from the Prophet-5 and meticulously arranged noise through the tracker-based DAW Renoise. Eschewing a traditional beat, the piece constructs a weightless soundscape where pulsing electronics and finely textured noise engage in subtle dialogue. It's a quiet yet tense composition that rewards close listening, revealing delicate, experimental layers of sound.

The 8R8 sample pack by Goldbaby
video upload by GoldbabySamples
"The 8R8 sample pack. Available now: https://www.goldbaby.co.nz/8r8.html
Sounds from the 8raw8 recorded in the Goldbaby studio."

"Sounds from the 8Raw8, a lovely analog drum expander, handmade in France, that recreates the iconic analog drum voices of the legendary TR-808.
Why make another 808 pack? I have had three vintage TR-808s in my studio, along with a few analog and digital clones. I can honestly say that the 8Raw8 is the nicest-sounding of all of them, including the OG vintage ones.
Another reason I created this pack was to utilise the 8Raw8 kick drum tune modification. This pack has a massive selection of multi-sampled chromatic kicks you play across the keyboard. Congas and toms also get the chromatic treatment!
I didn't stop there. Not only did I capture the 8Raw8’s unprocessed sound, but I also recorded it through tasty hardware. I used the MPC60, Fat Bustard II valve mixer, Silver Bullet Mk2, SPL Transient Designer, EL Fatso, EZ1073 EQ and Pre (Neve), AnalogHeat+FX, various guitar pedals (Plasma, Chroma, FatRat, Prunes & Custard), Cassette Tape Echo, and more.
This pack is like an 808 on steroids!

Ambient Generative Music | Ableton Air & Roland JP-8080
video upload by Akihiko Matsumoto
"Generative Sequencer: Ableton Air https://akihikomatsumoto.sellfy.store...
Inspired by Timeless Techniques
"Air" draws its inspiration from Brian Eno's Music for Airports and the concept of overlapping tape loops. This Ableton Max for Live plugin translates these ideas into a modern generative sequencer, enabling you to explore infinite musical possibilities without repetitive programming.
Effortless Note Generation
Forget the constraints of the piano roll. 'Air' generates notes autonomously, creating endless variations of melodies, rhythms, and harmonies. Your music becomes a living, breathing entity that evolves over time, making each moment unique.
Perfect for Experimental and Ambient Music
Whether you're crafting immersive ambient soundscapes, exploring experimental electronica, or composing intricate minimal music, "Air" provides the tools to elevate your creativity. Its generative approach ensures that no two performances are ever the same, offering a fresh perspective with every playback.
Features Designed for Limitless Inspiration
Evolving Sequences: Generate infinitely unique patterns that never repeat.
Customizable Settings: Fine-tune parameters to align with your artistic vision.
Seamless Integration: Designed for Ableton Live users who value creativity and experimentation.
Create Music That Breathes
'Air' is more than a plugin—it's a partner in creation, designed for musicians who embrace unpredictability and seek to push boundaries. Unleash the power of generative composition and let your music take flight."
TITAN Patch Bank: A Yamaha SY77/TG77 soundbank of 64 patches
video upload by MIDERA
"It has taken me years to publish this sound set. Mostly - I did not think it was that good, but I was asked repeatedly to release it. So that is what I am doing. I am quite horrible at showcasing bass sounds, of which I had quite a few here. I believe my original goal was to make either SH-101 or Minimoog type sounds and get that sweet sweet Lately Bass patch so I could sell my TX81z. I think I succeeded, at least a little bit there.
My playing was not rehearsed, as it already takes a lot of time to showcase each sound. This will, of course, be obvious when you listen, because it will not sound particularly good or refined. Plus, there are no external FX, which I personally like to use, but won't on a soundbank or patchbank video because I want to make sure you are hearing exactly what you will get when purchasing the patches.
These patches span the years from 2017 when I got the SY77, until today. I honestly can't believe I've had the thing that long. That's 8 years I've owned this. It's still one of my favorites.
If you'd like to purchase my soundset, please go to my webpage and shoot me an email: https://www.midera-artist.com/synthes..."
