Five 100% Erica Synths PERKONS Techno jams


video upload by Dave Mech

"Here's another video with a couple of jams. I left some of the parts in where you can see i'm experimenting a bit and trying to find where to take things. It's the parts where I landed on something great :). Now a matter of getting a feel for this instrument to more or less do this with eyes closed. I'm just experimenting right now to see how to get energetic grooves out of this thing quickly. To do it quickly will take some time to get the muscle memory in place. And much more to explore sound wise as well. You can really use the LFO in creative ways to take the sound pallet further.

Enjoy!

Roland Rando


video upload by zack dagoba

"Benge's Roland System 100

Just had this fixed up and discretely modified by LucidSounds. He serviced and calibrated it, got everything working right, and then added some of the mods I asked for - external PWM of the 2 VCOs, LFO jack outputs, extra cv/gate inputs with built-in comparators so that the clocks can be triggered from anything, S&H clock in, I think that was everything. Quite a job!

Now it can do some fun things that normal 100s can't do, but it has THAT sound!

I put the sound of the System 100 up there with all the other early 70s classics"

What remains | Spectralis II and Prophet 12 somber downtempo electronic music


video upload by MIDERA

"Today I spoke with my mom - and it's just... hard to see parents age (I lost my dad about 12 years ago now). Sometimes it seems like, maybe he was the lucky one to go when he was younger and didn't have these problems. Pain just seems to turn into the daily terror, haunting every part of your life. I sit here and know there's nothing I can do, except sit here and listen, and hope that things improve... and yet, we are all tending towards that end....

As for this track - well, I've been trying to get back into using the Spectralis in different ways. Here, I've taken all the drums, routed them into the 12db MM filter and used the HP filter with resonance at 100% And the cutoff around 30db, which really causes the bass to come out. Piano and strings from the Spectralis as well.

All sounds sent through Eventide Blackhole VST."

Surge XT Quick Minute


video upload by boxoftextures

"Well, this was not the video I was expecting to upload today but was surprised with the release yesterday of Surge XT. New and improved! I really liked the original (non-XT version) and I really like this one; can do all sorts of things with it as it's easy to use but super deep. This is just a minute or so, basically just a shimmering pad (my usual I suppose). Gimme a few weeks and who knows what'll happen! 100% Surge XT, nothing else.

Dream Machine/The Beast: Ex Bar-Kays Memorymoog SN 1493

Note: Auction links are affiliate links for which the site may be compensated.


via this auction

"This special and wonderful Memorymoog was a driving force behind the distinctive Bar-Kays super-funk sound, both on the road and in their recording sessions at Ardent Studios in Memphis.

Ownership History
When the music industry started going crazy for all things digital and the Fairlight Audio Workstation was all the rage, the ownership of this Moog went from the Bar-Kays to Ardent Studios, and then to me in 1985. It then continued on in recording sessions at Ardent, then from there to my Memphis home studio, and in the early 90s went into temperature controlled storage at my house, being occasionally set up and played over the past couple decades.

Now Fully Reconditioned
Thoroughly and meticulously reconditioned by the renowned analog synth experts at British Audio in Nashville, this Moog plays as new, right down to the newly felted key stops. The 100% original cabinet has not been altered in any way; the dings and scratches were all well-earned in its early Bar-Kays days, and I wouldn't want to do away with a single nick.
Model 345A w/Hold & Arpeggiator Functions
S/N 1493

Newly reconditioned to 100% as-new in all functions & operation, including quick 6 oscillator auto tuning from cold start, correct/consistent function and feel on all keys, all buttons, dials & wheels
Accurate, bright digital readouts

Includes:
Owners Manual in excellent condition
Memorymoog presets cassette for downloading all factory sounds
120 VAC power cord"

Voltage Modular VM900 System 35 Sequence


video upload by boxoftextures

"Built a Moog System 35 modular system using the VM900 Collection modules in Voltage Modular. Essentially the System 35 is one row of modules, but in this case I've also added the Sequencer Complement B Expansion Cabinet as well. I've also built the larger System 55, which adds another row of modules to the cabinet, and am planning to make the smaller Model 15 as well. Can't quite duplicate them exactly but they're darn close. One of the things that's not the same is the signal routing modules, which aren't in Voltage Modular, although to be fair you don't at all need them in the software version the way you do in hardware. Another difference is that there's "only" a selection of modules as opposed to everything Moog ever made. That's also not a problem either. As an example, the 921ABB dual oscillator module in the System 35 isn't included in the VM900 Collection, but the 921ABBB from the System 55 is, so while not 100% authentic you can just pretend your System 35 doesn't have those extra B oscillators. Another difference is the keyboard interface modules, but again, because this is software that's not really a problem. Lastly the half-height row of the cabinet, the one at the bottom with the Console Panels, isn't part of either Voltage Modular or the VM900 Collection. But once again, that's not really an issue as you do have the functionality of those modules in the software regardless.

This video was recorded uninterrupted from start to finish, with no cuts or edits in the video at all. Note that it takes a few minutes to patch together enough modules for the thing to actually make noises, perhaps around 5 minutes or so. Also, I start from the bare System 35 and patch it all from scratch, with captions and highlights to show what I'm doing. Downloadable patch files will be posted for my Patreon subscribers shortly, so if you'd like to grab those head on over there and join up if you'd like."

Throw out the Preset #2 - Bladerunner Sound with the Sequential Prophet-6


video by 100 Things I Do

"I thought today we could have a look and how we can take inspiration from the function of the CS-80 and how it makes a specific sound to drive easy patch creation of that classic Bladerunner Opening synth sound."

And the previous episode with Logic Sampler:

Throw out the Preset#1

video by 100 Things I Do

"In the first Video for this year I thought I would kick off what will hopefully be a new series of videos called 'Throw out the Preset'. The title is of course in jest but I really want to continuing encouraging you all to explore what can be done with your Synths, Samplers, instruments and studio software"

Soundsauca Modal Argon8 & Cobalt8 Soundsets

Modal Argon8 Presets - Daydrifta sound set demonstration by Soundsauca
video by Soundsauca

"Riding the wave of excitement surrounding the recent Modal Electronics Cobalt8 announcement. Soundsauca did what any dedicated but uninformed synth nut would do, create a bank for last year's hot potato! - and a fine one at that. Unfashionably late but dedicated to the synth party! Daydrifta is a 64 preset collection for the Modal Electronics Argon8.

The bank is available here: https://www.soundsauca.com/sounds/mod...​

Daydrifta is my offering to the gaseous synth god of Argon. An intricate and beautiful sounding synth, the Argon8 delivers shimmering sonics and glassy undulations in abundance.

Whilst the Argon8 is known as a majestic synth for ambient based genres, I also probed it's other side to see where it leads. And I found plenty! Crunchy crashes, kicks, analog renditions, tortured leads and arps and some wubs to keep those Cobalt cravings at bay!

But it's clear what the Argon does best and hopefully this sound set won't disappoint.

Nobility
As a bonus to all you Argon owners there will be an extra 36 sounds in the bank, rounding things out to 100."

Modal Cobalt8 Presets - Baltica sound set demonstration by Soundsauca
video by Soundsauca

"Baltica for the Modal Electronics Cobalt8 serves up an extended concoction of analog entwined pads, retro leads, old school stabs and ethereal effects. 100 patches are included (65 in the video and 35 more).

The bank is available for free either from:

Jamuary #19 - Track from scratch on the Spectralis


TheTechnobear

"Today's Jam is on the Radical Technologies Spectralis, a rare beast, yet one of the most powerful gooveboxes ever made.

I have to admit I dont use the Spectralis that often these days (though that could change after today) ... so really I just wanted to refamiliarise myself it ... as Id forgotten alot.

Then I realised its likely few have seen the Spectralis in action - so decided to do a kind of walkthrough to show it in action.


This is 100% Spectralis, all done on the fly.
the only thing Id prepared was which have some sounds loaded into each part (aka track).... even that I got wrong on last part ;)

So its a warts n' all , so forgive my 'rustiness'.

Coming back to the Spectralis I was struck by a few things:

The sound is fantastic, Id forgotten how good it was.
It has a reputation for complexity, and there is no denying that... but still I was surprised how quickly I got back into it.

As Ive not been using the Spectalis, I have been considering selling it... but have to say a few hours with it has reignitied my passion for it.
There is so much more it can do that I didnt even touch on today.
So, I think I need to put it somewhere where I can use it more again!"

Quantum Noodling - Quick patch creation fun!


100 Things I Do

"One of the great things about the Quantum is the speed at which you can create sounds. I thought I would share a quick Noodle that starts from the blank INIT patch and ends up in a beautiful Solina style patch.

The fun in patch creation is all about the Journey and exploration, I hope to kick off a series of Videos early next year called "Throw out the Preset". I get a huge amount of comments asking for me to sell patches and sounds but I would prefer I inspired you to make your own :D"

DSC - DIGITAL SOUND CHIPS OPUS MAX BOARD


DSC - DIGITAL SOUND CHIPS

From the creators of the Bluebox synthesizer comes a new project for DIYers. Currently on Kickstarter here.

"A short introduction to the OPUS MAX BOARD music computer and development board for making music gear with the STM32H750 micro controller. https://digitalsoundchips.com It will come with a profession grade synthesizer and audio effects unit to loop sounds through the board externally. And with information on how to make your own music gear like synthesizers and audio effect units."



"Back in 2011 the worlds smallest synthesizer DSC Bluebox was made, but vent by unnoticed. This time Digital Soundchips that made the synthesizer is back, and want to solve the problems that they once went through for you and others.

Now we a ready to present a single-board computer for audio plugins and music gear. And with one profession grade synthesizer plugin, and a multi effects unit to loop audio through. That uses a open plugin standard with plugins on microSD card.

Imagine making professional music hardware gear, based on a super simple audio plugin format. And develop music gear that can use several plugins simultaneously.

We want to make a pre-configured scalable solution, so you can start writing your audio code and run ready-made plugins. And lower the development time for new music gear from years or month's, to weeks.

Lets make it faster and fun to develop commercially viable professional music gear.

The Halloween Vibes


100 Things I Do

"Quoth the Raven nevermore! I don't know if Halloween in 2020 can be as scary as the rest of 2020 has been so far but its the perfect time to enjoy some spooky fun vibes from the Theremin! :D

I finally have a new camera, its going to take a while to learn how to get the best from it but today I thought I would have a play around with the workflow and see what came out. Hope this entertains you

If you want to hear more of my music please check out

Lost in thought (Music Noodle: Prophet 6 & Waldorf Quantum)


100 Things I Do

"Some days you are lucky enough to just be noodling around when you hit something nice. I thought I would line up the camera and record before the moment was lost. While the feel has more than a little nod to a famous chap from Greece I still feel it has enough of my own flavour to share. I hope you enjoy.

My New Release : LANDER is out and available from lander2.bandcamp.com :D"

Interesting and Unique - OB-Mx


100 Things I Do

"I thought we would take a further look at the OB-Mx today. As I mention in the video when this synth was released the reviews on the whole were so bad I almost never bothered to play one. The OB-Mx is a very unique sounding synth and with its unusual feature set (at least at the time) makes for an amazing box of ambient exploration :D"

"Its been a little while since I released a clip, I've been working to complete my next release SP*CE and getting the next big project under way. In-between my Polyend Tracker arrived last week and I have been slowly learning the workflow! I'm seriously impressed in the quality of this unit! More to come in the near future..."
