What Is A Fifth Chord?

video upload by Raka

"Okay, last one on this silly count how many chords thing.
It’s just, playing chords on this synth is an absolute joy.
I also cheated here a bit, actually there are five chords here.

#oberheim #obx8 #sequential #prophet10"

The Child of the Spirit- (Early 90s House Vibes) Ft Prophet 10, Roland TR-1000, Aria S1 and T8.

"I created this little old school track and then sampled the voice of the great Jack Kornfield. It’s from one of his guided meditations entitled Mudita which you can find on Youtube. Enjoy :)

If you like the synth pad in this vid from the P10 it's from my Synthwave soundset for the Prophet 5/10."

Nord Modular Editor Site Gets a Huge Update

via Peter van der Noord, the man behind the new online Nord Modular Editor [see additional posts with demos here].

"We've launched a major update to the Nord Modular Editor, a browser-based editor for the Clavia Nord Modular G1.

Until now, this was just an editor but with this release we have added a full community and social layer on top:

Browse thousands of patches: Explore what other G1 users have created, both now and in the past. Instantly send any patch to your connected synth.

Upload and share your own: Build a library of your patches, organize them into collections, write descriptions.

Comment and engage: Like patches, leave feedback, see what other people are experimenting with.

Live sync with hardware: Edit in the browser while your synth is plugged in over MIDI; changes hit immediately.

G2 support is coming: Also interesting to note that support for the newer G2 versions of the Nord Modular is in the pipeline"

ELEMENT Essentials: ELEMENT One Sound Design Tips - Pads

video upload by Modal Electronics

"In this beginner-friendly tutorial, we ease into sound design by crafting warm, cinematic, and ambient pad sounds using the ELEMENT One's intuitive front-panel controls and the MODALapp for visual feedback. You'll learn how to layer oscillator algorithms for rich textures, shape filter sweeps to add movement, dial in the perfect envelope curves for smooth attacks and releases, and apply effects like reverb and chorus to add depth and polish to your patches."

Pittsburgh Modular Lifeforms SV-2 Semi-Modular Analogue Subtractive SonicLab Review

video upload by

"We take a look at the @pittsburghmodular Lifeforms SV-2, a 37-key semi-modular analogue synthesizer with an East Coast subtractive focus.
It shares the format of the Taiga Keyboard with two main oscillators, two analogue LFOs that can also be oscillators , dual multimode filters, 2ADSR envelopes, 2 VCAs, spring reverb, arpeggiator and extensive patching.

The oscillators include multiple waveforms, Blade shaping and sub outputs on osc 1, while the LFOs can act as extra pitch-tracking oscillators for richer mono or two-note paraphonic patches.
The filters offer several modes and respond strongly to gain, drive and character settings, giving clean tones or more saturated results with a large amount of gain points both in the filters and in the mixer.

Additional function and velocity outputs with various modes add extra useful modulation.

The SV-2 is available now for around €1599 or $1499.

The Legendary CS-80 Sound… Without the Price | Fabric Vintage CS

video upload by Autodafe

"The Yamaha CS-80 is one of the most legendary synthesizers ever made — a huge, expressive analog instrument that helped define some of the most iconic electronic and cinematic sounds of the late '70s and early '80s.

Unlike some of the other synths in this series, I've never owned a CS-80 — and considering its size, weight and price, that's probably not going to change anytime soon! 😄

AIR Music Tech Fabric Vintage CS is a modern interpretation of this classic performance-focused polysynth, designed to capture its rich, expressive character inside the Fabric environment.

Powered by AIR's Fabric multi-sample synthesis engine, it features two multi-sample oscillator layers plus a percussive layer, with independent filters, envelopes and LFOs, along with extensive modulation, an arpeggiator and a comprehensive effects section.

The sound library focuses on the kind of sounds you'd expect from this legendary instrument: expressive brass, evolving pads, swelling textures, cinematic leads and shimmering bell-like tones.

In this No Talking demo, I'll simply play through a selection of presets so you can hear what Fabric Vintage CS can do without interruptions.

🎧 No talking — just sounds.

Fabric Vintage CS is available for MPC Standalone, MPC Desktop and major DAWs.
