Korg Volca FM Patch Pack 03 (FM Does Analogue!) - FREE!

Published on Jan 13, 2018 Oscillator Sink

"Here is my third patch pack for the Volca FM called: 'FM Does Analogue'.

I'm in no way suggesting that the Volca FM is going to replace your beloved Moog Model D - it won't even be replacing your Volca Keys! But by aiming for this style of sound I think you unlock some really interesting tonalities that sound at once obviously FM but that are miles away from those classic bells and pads that are so often what FM is known for.

You can find the downloads for the patches on my website: http://www.oscillatorsink.com"

Hawkeye - Zero Circuit (C64 SIDs vs Ensoniq ESQ-M, live)

Published on Jan 12, 2018 Maelstroem3

Note the yellow Waldorf micro Q Rack with custom chrome knobs.

"The MBLoopA is a fun tool to record ideas, while it lacks quite a lot of features of its bigger brother, the MIDIbox sequencer, it focusses on the essentials, offers an easy workflow and is totally sufficient to record smaller tracks - the graphical noteroll display helps a lot to visualize what is going on.

This live jam (recorded directly from the synths) also features the MBProgramma, that controls the Ensoniq ESQ-m (bassline).

The MBLoopA has six MIDI looping tracks, that can be independently muted and unmuted - also, it offers eight "scenes" that can be switched through, once again, this is used for transposing.

Synths used:
Yamaha FS1R: First lead
2x C64 8580 SIDs (in a MB6582): Second lead
Ensoniq ESQ-m (ESQ-1 in rack): bassline
Elektron Machinedrum: drums
MFB Dominion I: percussive synth voice
Alesis Andromeda + Kawai K5000R: Pad

Hope you enjoyed it!
Thanks for watching and listening!

Roland Jupiter-6 Analog Synthesizer (All Sounds)
Korg Kronos Music Workstation (All Drums & MIDI)
I had worked on this MIDI project in 2016 and my old
hard drive crashed & I thought these files were lost forever!
Today I found a lost backup disc & these were on it!! :)
I did these two mixes of "Kashmir", the "Pure Mix" (00:05)
has a more traditional Classic Rock / Prog Rock analog
synth sound while the "Dark Mix" (08:15) is more Synthpop,
Industrial, EBM, Trance Etc. I know the timing is off on a
few bits but this song is a really hard song to cover,
especially doing an all analog synthesizer version. LOL

Serge SLAB Panel Nr 1 - ResEQ feedback & RingMod orgy

Published on Jan 12, 2018 batchas

"PLAY AT MAX VOLUME!

Checking some modules on my fresh made Scrotum Lab panel.
I should rather say 'nearly finished', as I still need to finalize my own AM/RING circuit.

Still no computer atm to make a better video, but here's the first recording... Badass Resonant Equalizer feedback with RingMod delight.

I finally assembled the few boards I had populated a long time ago (plus a mixer I did a couple of months ago) on one panel. The next panel will be dedicated to sequencing and automated switches (performance oriented).
The third and last one? I have time to change my mind a hundred times again before it's even printed, but it will also make use of the boards and projects I have in stock and the own circuits I need to develop."

Never Ending Noise Sample Pack by Outsider Sound Design

Published on Dec 18, 2017 Outsider Sound Design

via Outsider Sound Design

"The Never Ending Noise sample pack was created using twelve unique hardware setups with the full intention of harvesting harsh noise, granular static, buzzes, drones, alien transmissions, and melting circuits. 472 sound files. Over 3.4GB of content. 24 bit 96k sample rate. This sample pack was created using over 70 different hardware devices and guitar effects pedals. Using hardware samplers, we fed in sounds that were created by transforming images of 13 famous abstract expressionist paintings into audio files and then further deconstructed them. Yes, we went all the way with this one.

Esoteric by design, there are so many distinct ways these sounds can be incorporated into your music productions or media projects. We hope this sound pack offers you unlimited inspiration."

iTunes: KQ Dixie - Ryouta Kira

"KQ Dixie is a 6-Operator FM synthesizer that is modeled on the synthesizer which appeared on the 1980s.

FM brings rich and brilliant sounds which are impossible to create with analog one.
It makes very complex waves with simple modulations.
The same method is used for a radio.
The synthesizer gained much popularity in the 1980s.

This app lets you make sounds freely with 156 voice parameters.
Almost all parameters are compatible with DX7.

Audio Unit v3 compatible.
Audiobus compatible.
32 algorithms included.
You can manage the hardware DX7 when it is connected with external MIDI cables.
Supports DX7 System Exclusive Messages (SysEx) and syx files.
Supports Zip files.
You may be able to find a lot of patches on the internet.

Yamaha DX7 is a trademark of Yamaha Corporation.
I have no business relations with Yamaha."

A Quick and Dirty Jam with Microgranny

Published on Jan 11, 2018 Brian Kupferschmid

"Hey folks. Still enjoying the glitchy and distorted sounds of the Microgranny from Bastl Instruments. I thought I'd share a short, unedited play through of some of the preset sounds. I left all the mistakes and poorly timed cues, just because I'm human. I'm hoping I get some time soon, most likely after NAMM, to really dive in and make my own samples, then combine a lot of the other instruments I have, to make a full on performance. I hope you like this and stay tuned for more stuff."

The History Behind the History of Synthesizers: A talk by Tom Whitwell, Music Thing

Published on Jan 11, 2018 mylarmelodies

"Recorded at the CV FREQS event in London, I was excited to be given permission to film the fantastic Tom Whitwell of Music Thing Modular, giving a history lesson on the emergence of technologies that led to the inception of modern synthesizers in the twentieth century (and beyond!).

For more info on Tom and his projects visit:
http://www.musicthing.co.uk/"

Some interesting bits from a reliable source that worked with him:

"Don Buchla worked with NASA in the very early 60s fresh out of school. After this he worked designing optical detection systems for the blind.  In 1965 after meeting Mort and Ramon at the San Francisco Tape Music Centre in 1964, work began on the Buchla 100. The acid trips were in late Jan 1966 and it was around this time that he began to take orders from other people in the scene (Kesey, Owsley etc).    There was a small buchla mixer on Further later in the 60s, more than likely used on the trip to woodstock in 69 and not the earlier trip in 1964."

Also: The Kesey box wasn’t on the original bus, but was put on around 1967 or later.. Not the famous one that preceded it by years. The guy playing the Buchla might actually be Ramon Sender.

"The SK30 is an incredibly versatile combination of organ, polyphonic synthesizer, string machine, plus (unlike the SK20) a single-VCO lead synth. Any combination of these can be played simultaneously or individually, and then mixed independently, leading to a virtually endless combination of textures.

In addition to all the expected parameters, the SK30 has extra features out the wazoo: ability to split keyboard, built-in tremolo, ensemble, and rotary fx, various sustain and decay options (even on the organ), a few built-in presets per section, and aftertouch on the solo synth."
