Kurzweil NAMM 2026 - Artist Kash Iyengar Tech Demo - Part 1

video upload by Kurzweil Music Systems

"From the 2026 NAMM show floor, Kurzweil artist Kash Iyengar demonstrates how to use the flexibility of V.A.S.T. to emulate classic synthesizer signal paths, turning a simple, single layer into a gorgeous ambient texture using the K2061 V.A.S.T. Synthesizer."

"'So I set up this simple patch...' 🎧

While the patch would take a while to describe in great detail, here are the main points. All of the audio in the clip is coming from the Modcan processed through the Knif BBD in realtime. The Moog Subsequent 37 is sending arpeggiated notes, modulation, and pitch wheel to the STG Continuo, which is converting that to control voltage (plus internal LFO) and gate for the modular. The pitch CV is then routed to a Wiard Mini Wave, which imposes various quantized key modes and scales on the pitch. The gate signal is routed to various envelopes, LFO resets, and the Milton Sequencer (upper right) to clock everything together and keep it in sync. Milton is handling several duties including pulse width offsets for the oscillators, CV offsets for the filters, Wiard Mini Wave 2s wavetable select, and trigger outputs for the rhythmic parts. The "voice" is 3 oscillators (one of which is processed through the second Wiard Mini Wave for wavetables) through the Moog 904a filter, 2 more oscillators going to 2 Arp 4075 filters panned hard left and right, 2 oscillators plus ring modulator and spring reverb acting at the "cymbal," white noise and Dark Star Chaos triggered by Milton for additional percussion effects. The Knif BBD is tap-tempo synced to the Moog Subsequent 37's arpeggio clock. From there, everything is messing around with the Knif BBD controls, selecting notes on the Moog, and noodling around on the Modcan's front panel controls.

First Steps with OXI One MKII / EP. 5: Poly Mode

video upload by OXI Instruments

"In Episode 5 we explore Poly Mode, one of the most versatile sequencer modes on the OXI One MKII.
Poly Mode opens the door to rich harmonic writing, evolving patterns, and expressive multi-note sequencing. From simple intervals to dense chordal textures and complex permutations, this mode lets you go far beyond traditional step sequencing while staying immediate and musical.
In this tutorial, I walk through how Poly Mode works in practice — how to add and edit multiple notes per step, shape harmonies, and use Poly creatively in real musical contexts. You’ll also see how it compares to Mono and Chord modes, and when each approach makes the most sense in a workflow.
Whether you want subtle harmonic movement or bold, layered sequences, Poly Mode gives you the freedom to design patterns that grow with your ideas."
