Get Jervis - Synths at Bedtime- Dreadbox Nymphes

video upload by GetJervis

"Synths at bedtime is back! Today we’re pairing the mighty Dreadbox Nymphes with the only possible text imaginable, a passage from Homer’s Odyssey!

Introduced, at first in ancient Greek, translated by Rex, with attention not only to the words but also to the inflections of each sentence.

Unlike its predecessors, the vibe of the Nymphes led me to a much more rhythmic accompaniment than in previous episodes..

I hope you enjoy!"

909 (Korg Minilogue Xd // Erica Synths Bassline DB01 + H9 + Pill // Roland TR6S // Dreadbox Nymphes)

video upload by 2-Minute Warning

"I must admit that I don't tend to use the classic TR-909 sounds a lot 😅 But for this time, the Roland - TR-6S had to do the job! So I used a TR-909 kit its the Analog Circuit Behavior engine (no samples from the TR-909 here). The result (the ACB technology from Roland is quite stunning and can really do the job!).

So I had a little help from my friends, one on my left taking care of the drum machine (fading in the sounds, fills, effects etc.), and on my left playing a bell sound on the Korg - Minilogue XD, layered by the a choir-like sound from the 6-voice analog polyphonic Dreadox - Nymphes!

Nymphes 6-Voice Analog Polyphonic Synthesizer - Huge FX patch

video upload by Chris Sneider

"Boasting an all-analog signal path, Dreadbox’s powerful Nymphes evokes classic single-VCO-per-voice polyphonic synths from the 1980s in a modern form factor. Nymphes offers seven different play modes — including polyphonic, unison, and duophonic options, and chord memory — with extensive modulation capabilities in the form of assignable LFO, aftertouch, velocity, and mod wheel (from an external keyboard controller). There are seven separate envelope generators for the VCA and the VCF/VCO — from grimy basslines to plasma-cutter leads, effervescent pads, and animated arpeggios, the Dreadbox Nymphes can do it all!"

"You know what this is. It’s analog. It has six voices. It has that strange Dreadbox vibe. Does the overlay improve the Nymphes? Your call. You can take it off. The stand is nice and made specifically for the Nymphes. The Nymphes comes with the original box, midi adapter, and USB cable."

Bad Gear - A Tragedy???

video upload by AudioPilz

"Welcome to Bad Gear, the show about the world's most hated audio tools. Today we are going to talk about Dreadbox Nymphes. Is this compact polyphonic analog synthesizer a worthy replacement for classics like a Roland Juno or the Sequential Circuits SixTrak it was inspired by? Is it on par with other Dreadbox synths like Erebus and Typhon and is the UI truly a tragedy???"

Dreadbox Nymphes plus Launchkey Mini is a fun combo 👍

video upload by Tefty & Meems

"First time playing with the @Dreadbox Nymphes and the @NovationTV Launchkey Mini. Surprisingly fun and compact combo! This video chronicles a straight forward lofi dream pop jam made with this setup, in Ableton Live."

A cheap workaround for MIDI TRS A/B connector problems (shown on DONNER N-25 and Dreadbox Nymphes)

video upload by Floyd Steinberg

"I've got this question a couple of times on my videos, so here's how to use the 3.5mm MIDI jack on the Donner N-25 mini MIDI keyboard. Also, a short improvistation on the Dreadbox Nymphes."

Carol of the Nymphes

video upload by ProckGnosis

"A one-synth tune with the Dreadbox Nymphes. Move to 02:33 to skip the opening babble and brewski bit. Skip to 06:24 to hear just clips and bits of the Nymphes used in the song without any affects.

Can't say the world needed ANOTHER version of this song, but here it goes anyway, 'cause it is a seriously cool tune. Intention was to keep it in classic analog synth territory, so the arrangement is also fairly straight forward.

Despite some of the negative comments I've read, I've found the Nymphes fairly easy to navigate for the majority of programming parameters. For assigning modulations it's one of the easiest synths I've used."

Uptempo jam with Midicake ARP, Dreadbox Nymphes, Moog Minitaur, Mother 32, MSW-810, DrumBrute Impact

video upload by Jay Hosking

"A live synthesizer jam performed entirely on hardware.

I've had this chord progression kicking around for a little while, the product of a voice-leading exercise I was doing. I was super happy with it but never able to incorporate it into a larger arrangement. Recently, I realized I could just run the chord progression through the Midicake ARP and get some inspiration on the song arrangement, and sure enough, that was all it took (along with a few amazing synthesizers and effects). Really happy with where this one ended up.

Full disclosure: I cut and paste a previous drum fill to the outro drum fill, because I felt the outro drum fill didn't match the quality of the earlier one. Seemed a more judicious approach than recording the whole thing again.

Thanks for listening.

Dirtywave M8 - chord progression sequence
Midicake ARP - four-part sequencing arranger for the chord progression
Kenton MIDI Thru - MIDI Thru out to five devices
DrumBrute Impact through Empress EchoSystem - Drums
Moog Mother 32 through Kinotone Ribbons - Slower mono synth
Michigan Synth Works MSW-810 through Hologram Chroma Console - Faster mono synth
Moog Minitaur through Boss DM-101 - Bass synth
Dreadbox Nymphes through Empress Reverb - Pad synth

Performed and recorded live (minus that small drum edit) to a multitrack recording, with EQ, compression, and limiting on the master.

DREADBOX NYMPHES - 4 Custom Patches // NO TALKING // Raw Sounds + Effects

video upload by Lost Clouds (Tom Green Music)

"I've spent a little more time with the Nymphes now and wanted to showcase a few of the patches I've made so far - first without effects, and then with added effects from the Typhon (which I think really help the Nymphes shine).

I've got mixed feelings about the Nymphes, some really interesting features but a few unusual quirks too - let me know if you'd be interested in a review video!

Octatrack Arpeggiator improvised moody house jam + Nymphes + Sirin #dawless #synth #dreadbox

video upload by Hanjo Synth

"Welcome to this moody house improvised jam, where we explore the creative potential of combining different electronic music gear to make an atmospheric and hypnotic groove. In this session, we use a combination of Elektron boxes, including the Octatrack as the central hub for sequencing and effects, and two external analog synths, the Dreadbox Nymphes and the Moog Sirin, to add warmth and character to the sound.

The main technique we use here is the Octatrack arpeggiator, which allows us to create complex melodic patterns by triggering different notes in sequence. We use the arpeggiator in different ways, such as changing the speed, direction, and note range, to keep the rhythm evolving and interesting.

Throughout the video, you'll see and hear the different elements of the jam being introduced and manipulated, from the deep bassline of the Sirin to the ethereal pads of the Nymphes, to the glitchy drums and percussions of the Elektron boxes. We also use various effects, such as reverb, delay, and distortion, to enhance the textures and add depth to the mix.

The mood of the jam is introspective and contemplative, with a hint of melancholy and nostalgia. The sound evolves gradually, with subtle variations and nuances that create a sense of organic growth and development.

I hope you enjoy this moody house improvised jam and get inspired to experiment with your own gear and techniques. Let's dive in!"

Hypnotic jam with Sequential Take 5, Midicake ARP, Dreadbox Nymphes, Roland SH-101, DrumBrute Impact

video upload by Jay Hosking

"Please support my work on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/jayhosking
A live, semi-improvised synthesizer jam performed entirely on hardware.

I'm lucky enough to have access to a new studio space, and am now in the process of moving over there. That means the days and nights have been long. One evening I was casually noodling on the Take 5 and came up with a patch and arpeggio I liked, but didn't feel I had time and capacity to do a full sequence and arrangement with other devices.

That's where the Midicake ARP comes in to save the day. Rather than sequence anything, I simply sent my MIDI data out of the Take 5 and into the ARP. The ARP then recontextualized the notes and can send them out to up to four other devices (here, I used three, plus MIDI clock to the DrumBrute Impact). Thanks to the ARP, I could explore chords and improvisation without having to write a single note in a sequencer. The ARP really is a great solution to a classic songwriting problem: being able to find the song with all the parts at once, rather than imagine all the parts and then write them.

From there, it was a matter of laying down some instruments and effects I liked the sound of. No surprises here, other than the Boss DM-101, which I got recently. It doesn't quite have the personality of the Matriarch delay, but it's a great and more versatile analog delay that I look forward to using more.

All in all, a really fun jam, and I was extremely grateful to have the tools I needed to write the song on the fly across multiple instruments.

Thanks for listening.

Sequential Take 5 - main arpeggio, MIDI controller/data out
Midicake ARP - "sequencer" (note recontextualizer? arpeggiator?)
Arturia DrumBrute Impact - drums
Dreadbox Nymphes through Strymon BigSky - arpeggio two
Blackout Model D through Boss DM-101 - bass synth
Roland SH-101 through Walrus Sloër - arpeggio three (the slow high one)
Kenton Pro-Solo Mk3 - MIDI to CV for SH-101
Kenton MIDI Thru - MIDI through to all devices

Performed and recorded live, with eq, compression, and limiting in the box.

Nymphes 6 VOICE ANALOG SYNTHESIZER ( IMPOSSIBLE TO SAVE THESE SOUNDS )

"Nymphes is a 6-voice analog polyphonic synthesizer that was developed during the pandemic, and Dreadbox hopes it will put a pinch of happiness on your face. Condensing an ambitious idea into a small and compact box, without any compromise in the quality of the final instrument, Nymphes delivers stunning and ethereal soundscapes for music productions, film and game scoring, or sound design."

Soundtrack music with Korg ARP Odyssey, piano, Dreadbox Typhon, and Nymphes

video upload by Jay Hosking

"A song comprised of two live performances with both hardware and software.

I have a hand surgery scheduled for this week, and wanted to get in one last piano performance before my hand was out of commission for a while. These are the results. The end result seems clearly inspired by some of my favourite OST music.

Native Instruments Noire (played on Kawai CA49) - piano
Korg ARP Odyssey - melody
Arturia Analog Lab and Dreadbox Nymphes - pad
Reason Thor and Dreadbox Typhon - bass
Red70 controlled by MIDI Fighter Twister - doubled right hand piano arpeggio

Recorded as two live performances into Reason Studios' Reason. Additional effects (mainly Arturia and Reason) added in the box, plus EQ, compression, and limiting on the master.

3x NYMPHES and 1 spare hour to shoot a video by Dimitra

video upload by Dreadbox

"In this video Dimitra jams by using only a NYMPHES polyphonic Synthesizer, which she overdubs without any specific plan in mind.

'As a working woman, mother, + lots of other important roles I have to get through all day, it is really hard for me to find even a moment during a day to try the Dreadbox devices I design. That was my third time playing with the Nymphes synthesizer and I had to shoot a video to remember this moment :)
I only had a spare hour at the office, I connected Nymphes with a midi keyboard and straight to the audio interface. Firstly, I started recording the bass track, then the lead track and surprisingly, I left the drum for the end... '
