Arturia Pure LoFi Custom Patches [Bank 1] by synth_nyc

via synth_nyc:

"You can listen to them in high resolution (24bit 96kHz PCM WAV masters, FLAC encoded) on my site (optimized for Chrome on MacOS and Windows).

All recorded at 24bit 96kHz PCM on UAD Apollo X hardware with builtin FX and UAD FX.

Fantastic synth. Kudos to Arturia. I love the sound, the synth engines and the limited modulation options that forces you to be creative and efficient in your sound design choices."

Music is such a strange language | synth jam

"'One good thing about music, when it hits you, you feel no pain.' (Bob Marley)

Whatever the style, whatever the reason, music unites us under the same banner, the same freedom, the same language. A unique, universal and strange language.

The Elmyra2 has never sounded like THIS before (version 2.4 update!)

video upload by Oscillator Sink

See the announcement post from earlier today here.

"The Elmyra2 continues to be one of my favourite, weird little drone synths, and over the last two and half years it has got better and better with each new update. Version 2.4 is arguably the best and most important update yet, not only for the huge number of sonic, creative and quality of life improvements, but it opens up an entirely new sound-world for the Elmyra for you to explore.

Transparency notice: the Elmyra 2 was kindly provided to me by Neutral Labs (back in 2023) for free for the purposes of making videos on it. No editorial oversight has been provided to Neutral Labs and no other payment has been received. As always I'm only interested in featuring instruments that I'm genuinely excited about on the channel.
