This Setup Has All You Need to Make Great Music

video upload by EZBOT

"In today's episode of Electron Talk, we take a look at the Octatrack, Digitakt, and Syntakt from both a music production and live performance perspective. Each of these three grooveboxes designed by Elektron is impressive on its own, but together, they offer unique features that complement each other's strengths and fill in the gaps where one may lack. However, they don't cover all the areas comprehensively, do they? That's where instruments like a vocal processor and a convenient polysynth come into the mix. Today, we will create techno from scratch, discuss sound design, and share our favorite gear for music production."

WMD Kraken - Snare Synthesizer In-Depth Demonstration

video upload by Patchwerks Seattle

One more video below.

"In this video Matthew Piecora (aka EZBOT) of Patchwerks shares an in depth look at the new WMD Kraken.

Order the Kraken here.

From WMD: 'No samples, 100% digital synthesis with the ability to make realistic snare drums of all sizes, shapes, materials, and colors. Similar to Crucible, Kraken uses a network of classic synthesis blocks like delay, digital filters, and noise to create a very unique resonator.

'Crack-in' to the snare drum sound you're into most by adjusting parameters that corelate to physical drum properties such as shell type and size, head tightness, amount of overtone, and how tight and bright the snares sound.

You like snare samples? Great! Although Kraken does not use any recordings to generate sound, you can get a perfectly repeatable snare sound, similar to a sampler by using digital noise to generate the sound of the "snares".

Want your snare to sound more realistic? Try analog noise to imitate the subtle difference of a drummer hitting the snare slightly different on each hit.

Perfect Pitch... kind-of. Optional pitch shifter on the output widens the sonic palette as well as the frequency range, while imparting a unique character of it's own, reminiscent of old school samplers and pitch shifter pedals. Pitch knob and CV input take control of the pitch shifter when in this mode.

Wreck the ship with the Wreck switch and CV input. Three different distortion characters push the envelope that much further with an analog style gained up hard clipping, wavefolding, and bit depth reduction. At some shell settings, gain gets loud like running a snare mic through a distortion pedal. The wave folder sounds like over-the-top compression with lots of high frequency content,. The bit depth reduction setting lets you dial in a desired amount of "vintage" digital artifacts. Moving the switch to these different modes is only a preview. Use the Wreck CV input for the most control and variety in sound.

Kraken is begging to be sequenced. Use the Head, Rim, and Accent gate inputs to start your basic rhythm of hits, sidesticks, rimshots and accented sounds. Sequence the Velocity input with a variable CV source to bring the pattern to life and put the drummer behind the kit.'
